Whitewash Formula

Please explain how government white wash is made? I understand it does not rub off. L. A. C."
 Slake half a bushel of lime with boiling water cover the process to keep in steam; strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer, and add to it one pack of salt previously dissolved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice boiled tc thin paste and stirred in while hot, half @ pound of Spanish whiting and one of glue previously dissolved by soaking
 in cold water and then hanging over a slow fire in a small pot hung in a larger enc, filled with water Add five gallons of hot water to the mixture; stir well, and let it stand for few days covered from the dust. It should be applied hot, for which purpose it may be kept in a kettle or portable furnace. A pint of this mixture, if properly applied will cover a square yard. Coloring matter may be added as desired For cream color, add yellow ochre; for lawn add proportion ately four pounds of umber to one pound of Indian red and one pound of common lamp black; for common stone color, add approximately four pounds of raw umber to two pounds of lamp black. The white wash thus compounded is in general use upcn government buildings.

 Graft in Russia is on such a naively vast scale that it becomes grotesque.
 The Russian representative of a for eign shipbuilding concern told me of a battleship which he personally designed for the Russian government in 1905 The plans were accepted, the steel con- tracted for. an army of workingmen assembled at odessa and in the course nf time it was reported that the battle ship was ready for launching, The governor of the province personally broke a champagne bottle over her bow. and month later she put to sea on her trial trip. Then news came that the battleship had sunk some where in the Black Sea. Some one was suspicious-fI investigation was ordered and it developed that the bat tleship had never been built at all.

BOARDS MEET NEXT MONDAY

The various county boards of equaliza- tion will meet next Monday at the coun- ty courthouses for the purpose of hear ing objections to the assessments or valuations fixed by the board At this meeting any property owner may appear in person, or by agent or attorney, and make his objections.
 The law gives every board the right at this meeting to correct valuations and assessments, allowing them the privilege of either raising or lowering values, in order that a 50 per cent cash valuation may be reached.
 Chairman Sims several days ago ad- dressed letter to the members of the county boards calling their attention to the June session of their bodies, at which time they will be called upon to sit in judgment upon their opinions previously formed.
 In interpreting the law relative to the June session, Chairman Sims declared:
 ''The June session is held not neces- sarily for the purpose of reducing values to meet the objections of taxpayers, but when an objection is made. it is your duty to obtain all possible evidence and from the evidence determine 60 per cent of the reasonable cash value, without re- gard to whether the property is raised or lowered over your first value"

"Down With Kaiser"

London, May 27.-An Amsterdam
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
company says thai eighteen women
were wounded in fight between po-
lice and food rioters at Frankfort
on-the- Main, Wednesday night, ac-
cording to a dispatch received at The
Hague.
The riot is said to have started
owing to shortage of meat in the
local butcher shops. Three hundred
and fifty women, who had been told
there was no meat for them, marched
through the streets carrying black
famine flags and singing socialistic
songs.
The women forced their way into
one butcher shop, although it was
guarded by soldiers and policemen.
After a search they found some meat,
which they cut up, and continued
their march, holding the pieces above
lHelf HcduS.
Police attempted to take the meat
from the women and a general fight
followed, in which the officers used
their swords. One woman was arrest
ed for shouting:
"Down with the emperor!"
A local paper which referred to the
affair was ordered suspended for two
months.
