The bread-baking contests and the

the participants are concerned. The
motives are still those Of rivalry, but
the prospective gain Of victory is now

Profit In Paint.

II paint didn't do anything, but
make the family feel more cheerful
and give them more pride and self
respect, it would really be worth all
1t costs, but in this day of high-priced
lumber and building material, paint
really pays two profits-pays one
profit in beauty and second profit
In lumber and dollars saved. Back in
the day when the South was full of
magnificent timber and we didn't
think Of trees ut all except as some
thing nightly in the way when we
wanted to clear a "new ground" back
in those days man might have lived
In IN unpainted house and consoled
himself that he wasn't losing much
except cheer and beauty. But that
day has passed. It's true that paint.
ing now pays Its way besides adding
beauty. In other words, you can get
the fun and satisfaction and good
cheer that come from living in house
that's painted-you get all this Stree

Of the good common sense business
deal that you make when you have

rather than some particular person or
group. There is enough to fight for
and to fight against. Boys and girls
who have learned to work together in
the various kinds of contests need not
abandon the fighting motives. and the
powerful organizing influences that
these motives exert upon our activities.
But they must learn to fight real enc
mics, and for larger and larger groups.
Disease still remains to be conquered,
and the best physicians and nurses ap.
proach their work in the spirit of the
soldier. Fire prevention and fire de-
struction call for as much thought and
effort as the best can put forth. The
vast engineering and economic and so
cial problems furnish worthy foes for
the fighting instincts Of our boys ana

Minneapolis has been studying sug-
gestions for extending the use Of

park is Il more logical center than
the school and park buildings can be
readily adapted to such purposes.
"The park board should increase its
efforts to make the parks real cOmpeti-

involve obtaining park areas adjacent
to the thickly populated districts,
policy to which the board Is al
ready committed"
