Painted Dwellings

Progressive Farmer.
This Thing of painting farm
houses is mighty catching" said
an Observant man to us the other
day. "You let Bill Jones paint
his house and have all the pas
sers by admirirg it, and the next
thing you know Tom Brown and
Henry Sykes say, We'll, Bill
Jones amt no better than | am,
and guess my folks are as much
entitled to a painted house as his
are So they paint, too" It's a
mighty good sort of contagion to
be going round. Paint pays not
only in preserving lumber but in
giving new pride and dignity TO
the family in the painted house.
A farmer in a painted house
seems TO rather feel that he has
lined up with the progressive
folks, has advertised himself as
such, and that it's up to him to
make good.

Eleven Ships Sunk in a Day

London, June 5.-German sub.
marines continued their activity
in English waters today. The
results, demonstrated in the
number rather than importance
OF the vessels sent to the bottom.
added IL ships to a list of srmil-
ar size sunk yesterday.
No loss of life was reported
today. and the lost vessels with
one exception-the small French
steamship Penfield-were Eng
llsh steam trawlers and fisher
men operating under sail. If
the German activities served no
other purpose they made plain
the fact that there are a large
number of submarines of deadly
potentially widely scattered
about the United Kingdom and
that the insignificance of the
bag" is due to the lack of more
important targets rather that in
ability to deal with them. This
has tended to increase the pre-
valllng uneasiness.

Played too Rough.

A negro in a Southern county
seat town had been condemne d
to die, says The Kansas City
Star. The day of the hanging
came and Rastus was taken 10
the scaffold in the court house
yard. The hood was slipped
over his head and the moose
adjusted.
Just as the sheriff was about to
spring the trap cry of "Fire!"
was heard, and smoke was seen
coming from the court house
windows. The officials and
spectators, forgetting their task,
rushed to help fight the blaze.
Anyway, Rastus was tied and
could not escape without aid.
During the fire another negro
wandered into the court house
yard and passed the scaffold.
He though he recognized a
familiar form standing on it and
proceeded to find aut.

Sam mounted the steps and
released Rastus from his bonds.
Rastus in turn prepared the un-
suspecting Sam for hanging
Then he skipped. A few min
utes later the sheriff returned.
He saw a negro standing patient
ly on the scaffold. Without
further ado he sprung the trap.
Fortunately for Sam the rope
was old and broke under the
sudden strain. 1t rolled Sam in
to the dust of the court house
yard. He wrenched his hands
loose and jerked the hood from
his head. Then rolling his eyes
around and rubbing his neck, he
said:
"You all white folks can take
back your old job. You all's too
rough"
