be found automobiles and motorcycles

from going where II should not be: SO
an exhibition of gate posts and rails
has ocen arranged to show how TO pre-
vent wandering plants from straying
out into the paths or over to besutify
your neighbours lawn.
The possibilities OF cemen, are shown
by number OF chairs. garden seats
and tables. Some OF them at dis
lance might pass for marble. Guides at

is other furniture well suited to garden
purposes and for use on the porch, and
that Is split Indian wood stained ma
hogany hue.
The problem Of the color OF a house
is always vexing one. Often one
hears Of house being deserted soon
after construction and later sold by its
owner for much less than II cost to
build because the color - not what he
wanted. Those looking for color schemes
may be able to get them from a collec-
ton of bricks that have been gathered
at the show.
The centre OF the show is a rustic

nearby Westminster. Were the roof

boggans painted on the walls of the big
exhibition hall. These winged pets are

and that Is why they are in the exhibit

an electric operated fountain that costs
about a cent an hour to operate. Be-

WARRINGTON An ADvERT1sER.


George Washington was . real estate

OF publicity to sell real estate. In this
respect Washington was far ahead Of
his time. You cannot sell anything,
not alone property. II It Is kept secret"

matter. That you have something to
sell should be spread broadcast that
everybody might know It. Out Of
an unthought Of corner may come one
who is looking for just what you are
anxious to sell.
In 1773 Washington had about $500
acres that he wanted to sell. He knew
that to get a buyer for all or any part
Of these acres he would have to 20
