PAINT

Property owners in this region have
in the past been liable to the charge
of being far too chary with paint. But
the accusation will soon no longer hold
if the record of the present season is
kept up. We do not recall any prev
lous year in which so great num-,
Der of houses, barns, fences, and out
buildings were treated to this COM
mendable freshening-up process. In
the country it is especially noticeable.
Palouse farm buildings have never
been noted for their neat appearance,
but the number of well-kept farm
yards and carefully maintained build
ings is certainly increasing rapidly.
Until the result has been actually
demonstrated it is hard to credit the
tremendous improvement which every
building will show as result of be-
ing painted. The outlay is as nothing
compared to the benefits conferred.
Glistening paint will actually add to
the value of property Poor architec-
ture and cheap buildings can be pretty
we'll disguised by an agreeable color
with suitable trim.
1t is, of course, important that the
colors be sensibly chosen. There are
some horrible examples of what not
to do in the way of painting on almost
every street in Moscow. There is
certain bold blue that fairly knocks
out the eye-ball; a hideous yellow
brown nameless color that actually af-
fronts the beholder; yellow that
looks like flaming advertisement of
malignant disease within the building.
a steel gray so cold and harsh that
not even vines and shrubbery can give
cheerful aspect to the premises.
These ugly shades have unfortunately,
always been used in abundance in and
around Moscow, and the best taste is
not always displayed in combination
of colors where there is much trim.
Considering how many soft and warm
shades. agreeable to the eye, there are |
in brown. green, yellow, gray, and even
red, it is amazing how frequently the
wrong choice is made. White and
cream are always safe and, after Q
is said and done, are likely to suit best
ity.
The increase of interest in exterior
painting is one of the many signs of
better times in the Palouse country.
1t is sign that people are properly
glad to see.

and putting in improvements paid for

If you have not strolled up and down
the pleasant shaded streets of Swede
town this season, why not make an
excursion to that neighborhood on the
occasion of your next Sunday after
noon walk? We venture to predict
that you had no idea so many new
houses had gone up or that the quail
ity of the houses was so good. Be
sure to go over as far as Hays street
and thence over to where the valley
road comes into town, not sighting all
the tidy thoroughfares between.
You will not see better taste dis
played anywhere in Moscow or more
honest efforts to improve property.

"SWEDE TOWN"

The southeastern part of town is
often designated as Swede town. I'm
less one is familiar with the look OF
that part of Moscow the way in which
the term is commonly used might be
supposed to suggest an uncompliment-
airy feeling toward it. The truth is
quite the reverse. At least, when one
considers the natural beauty of the To-
cality and the high standards of clean
illness and care-taking manifested by
property owners, one realizes that the
term Swede town should connote to
every mind tidy yards, freshly painted
houses, neat fences, and general indus
try in keeping up property.
There is no part of town which lies
more attractively than Swede town,
and the residents are bona fide citizens,
most of them owning their little places

Now, Mr.. Cochran, there is lust
one question 1 wish to ask and that
is: Why is it that you are not report
ing the progress of one of the most
important murder trials that has oc-
CURED in Chicago for years? Are
you afraid of the Roman Catholic
boycott?

and women who want the news, no

been looking to The Day Book in
order to get it.
There are perhaps fifty or hun
dred thousand people here in the
state of Illinois who have long since
refused to allow any of Chicago's So
called daily papers to come into their

any fear of any boycott, Catholic or
otherwise. 1 don't believe Catholics
would boycott any newspaper for
printing the story of the Mullen trial,
whether that newspaper was in the

SEVENTY IMMERSED. BY BAPTIST PASTOR
I5OO WITNESS CEREMONY
CONGREGATION DOUBTLESS IS LARGEST EVER ASSEM-
 BLED IN CONWAY.

In the presence of what was doubt less the largest congregation ever as- sembled in Conway church, the rite of baptism by immersion was admin istered to 70 candidates by Rev. Otto Wilmington, at the First Baptist church last night.
 The congregation began gathering about an hour before the services be- gan at 7:45 o'clock and when the meeting was opened every inch of space in the commodious building was filled. The Sunday school annex was opened and the Sunday school audi Jorium and class rooms were occuri- ed to their fullest capacity. Several hundred stood throughout the services and many were turned away, unable even to find standing room.
 While the ceremony was very sol emn and impressive one, it was car ried out with dispatch by the pastor, the entire number being baptized within 45 minutes. No preaching ser vices were held at the evening hour, the baptismal ceremony beginning af- ter short song and prayer service.
 Rev. Wilmington said today there are 13 additional applicants who will probably be baptized next Sunday ev- ening.
