found profitable the board may sup

loads of clay products are being
shipped out every day.
All OF the brick, tile and building

In addition to manufacturing clay
products and developing a coal mine
there the board has raised some good
small grain crops. The wheat on one
field averaged forty bushels per acre

oats threshed out sixty-eight bushels

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In seIec-
ton Of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed In a wilderness.
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next Of shelter. for
these are the two most vital necessi4
ties of mankind. It is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years. as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty than
In the fifty years previous.
Only In recent years has the hand
ling OF cement In building work been
understood properly, and progress il
still constantly being made with 1t.
Modern hotels and office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
moulGings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction Is away from
the fire hazard Of wood.
One Of the most significant develop
ments of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt single which
Is, on new construction and old. rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact. there Is really,
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate Of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as q
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying slate
surfaced shingle that is not guaran-'
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many,
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that It becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur.
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.
