prise contains a good editorial on
the recent primary election in re-
gard to the scrap for representa-
tive to the legislature from Pine
County. Editor Warren tells
about how certain candidates
were almost forgotten, such men
as Hon. j. Adam Bede and r. j..
Wosmek, by their home town.
and votes were cast for Mr.. Gun
ningham as they thought him to
be the strongest man to keep the
old political ring of Pine County
in power. Mr.. Bede is an old
resident of Pine City. a former
congressman and has done much
for his home town. For him to
receive only 2l0 votes in the en-
tire county is a bad slap. He
was sacrificed.

The number OF vacant houses
In any city Is largely due to the

"GREATER THAN FIRE LOSS"
By PROF. II. II. KING
kansas State Agrie uttufal College.

= ACK of paint causes a great
er annual loss through de-
terioration than the aggre-
gate Kansas fire loss for twelve
months. Yes, there is much
more reason for a real Clean
Up and Paint Up" campaign
than the average layman would
at first recognize.
Paint, as has often been said,
serves more than the mere pur.
pose OF decoration. Its principal
value lies In the fact that ii pro-
longs the life of the surfaces
painted.
Wood and iron. on exposure
to the air. undergo slow proc
ess OF oxidation. which just as
surely destroys them as though
they were set on fire. the diff
ference being the speed at which
the reaction occurs.
We take out insurance to COW
er loss by Are and should just as
surely put on paint to cover loss
\ by decay. II takes very little
calculation to discover the ap-
parently astounding fact that
the loss through lack OF paint
ing is greater In Kansas than
5 the loss by fire.

comes to full realization of the

will be no need FOR puhlic-spir>
