WELL BUILT FENCE
ONLY GOOD ONE.

If you are repairing and fencing
this spring, remember that to get the
maximum service out of a fence it
should be we'll built from good end
and corner posts, says Department
Bulletin No. 321, United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. The corner
posts should be placed in the ground,
SO that they cannot be heaved by
frost or drawn over by the pull of the
fence.
The wire should, be strung tightly
to the end posts, but it should not be
tightly stapled to them. I should be
fasened so that the wires can move in
a horizonal direction to take care of
expansion and contraction, due to
changes in temperature, and to dis
tribute evenly any pressure caused by
blow to the fence.
A barbed wire should be placed a
short distance above the top of the
woven wire to prevent stock from

REQUESTING THE MOSQUITO.

Following the recognition of the fact that mosquitoes are a pest which is a detriment to humanity, to say noth- ing of the annoyance, and that their exJermination must come through pre- ventive measures, the campaign which was inaugurated some time since is a most sensible one.
 There are some sections which are worse than others and while the prob lem is not such a difficult one in most localities there are those places where long and persistent efforts must be made before they can be wiped out. But even then the situation is not altogether hopeless, for with the right sort of cooperative action the pest can be abated, but it will not be accomplished if the task is left to somebody else. According to one au- thortty who has made an investigation of the conditions around Brooklyn not | a mosquito would be left in the dis trict if the war could be kept up for | two years. That such will not be done is safe to believe, yet there is need | of giving constant attention to the solution of this warm weather pest. Individuals can do much by seeing | that tin cans or other receptacles which gather rain water are removed or put in such condition that they will not serve as breeding places, and com munities should see that stagnant pools of water are drained, which precau- tions are easily taken. There arc many localities where marsh land ex- ists and there it is that the biggest 1 jobs are to be found but community 1 action ought not to be denied in view of the great benefit that is bound tc
 result. The campaigns which are be-
 ing organized in this and neighborine
 states are certainly to be commended
 and 1t is to be hoped that they vii
 not be discontinued until the object
 of their undertaking is accomplished The end of the mosquito is the goa for which they must constantly work

BATHROOM BEAUTIFUL.

With the advent of spring the bath room becomes the most important feature of home comfort. If it is fresh, attractive and aintily appoint hot shopping trip downtown or a long days work at the office. The wise housekeeper spends much thought and care on the furnishing and decoration of her bathroom and sees to it, in addition, that there is never any lack of freshly folded towels and washclOths, of the vari- ous kinds of soap that members of the family prefer, and of that indispen- sable summer comfort, talcum powder in a generous shaker.
 White paint and white woodwork are most attractive in the bathroom unless one is blessed with a luxurious white tilted and white enameled room such as the modern apartment house provides for it's occupants. There should always be a breeze blowing the white curtain at the bathroom win dow in summer time, and the shaded bathroom, with blinds half bowed outside, or an awning let down if there are no blinds, is much more grateful to the worn and weary seeker of cool plunge than a room into which the sun pOurs blindingly.
 A growing plant on the window sill will add to the cool suggestion of the bathroom, and in summer the floor covering may be taken up and a blue and white ray rug laid before the tub
 Hand drawn linen window shades are charming in bathroom windows Such windows are usually small, and
 set rather high in the wall, so sucf a shade need not be very large. Il

SPEC AND SPAN PANS.

As soon as the pan is emptied. fill it with hot water and leave it to soak until it can be. washed.
 If the contents were greasy, add a little soda to the soaking water (eX- cept in the case of aluminum).
 If the contents caught put the saucepan on the stove, filled with soda water, and let it boil for half an hour.
 Always clean pans as soon as possi- ole after using.
 Dry each pan carefully before put ting it away. and fl the shelf on which it stands is not spared, leave a space where the air can circulate in- side.
 Aluminium pans must never be cleaned with soda. Soapy water with a little silver sand will remove any discloration quite well, and if the outside has got blackened clean il with a piece Of flannel moiStened with kerosene and dipped in ashes. Rinse the pan in water and dry thoroughly both inside and out.

FORGED TO OuIr-

Once again Is the country furnished with details of the death of one of the fast and prominent auto drivers and the serious if not fatal injury to a number of others, most of whom were spectators. It was another instance where the pursuit of speed resulted in the elimination forever of one of the most daring drivers of automobiles. It was a fight against time in which the man at the wheel was proving his willingness to risk his life and that of others in an effort to win, but the mechanism was weak. He was push ing it beyond it's endurance point and that which is likely to happen under such conditions occurred, with the re- suit that Bob" Burman, the fearless, was forced to quit for the first and last time.
 It is the end which faces all such speed artists if they only continue to take the risk long enough. There is of course a lot of glory to be won, be- sides the financial consideration, when success is obtained, but 1t cannot help being seriously considered whether it Is worth the price. Such may be looked apon as the satisfying of public de-

GERMAN INNOCENCE.

From Berlin comes the report that
 the German government is able to an nounce that no German submarine or
 warship was responsible for the ex-
 plosion which damaged the British
 steamship Sussex. This means that
 Germany will not accept responsibil- ity for this disaster, and the assump- ton must be that it knows nothing about the sinking of the many other
 vessels which have taken place in the last few weeks.
 This is no more than might have been expected. The official statement,
 however, must be awaited in order to have all doubt in regard to it elimi- mated, but the apparent intent of this denial is to place the burden of proof upon this country. Germany may or may not be trying to prevent a break
 with this country but by this course,
 as outlined in the Berlin report it
 makes it evident that it does not in tend to admit anything which would furnish a basis for this country sever ing diplomatic relations. Should it ad- init it's guilt it fully understands that | that would destroy whatever defense 1 it might have but if it denies all 1 knowledge of the affairs this country 1 is forced to act upon such evidence ! as 1t may otherwise obtain.
 Whether Germany is relying upon 1 this to act as a new obstacle in the
 way of action by this country, through
 shrouding the disasters with increased doubt, this government has gotten to l the point where it is sick and tired of
 excuses being offered for unkept prom 1 ises. It must assemble the facts and | thoroughly analyze them and after 1 being certain in it's own mind as to
 where the responsibility lies take the
 course which the honor of the nation 1 demands.

CARE OF PIANO.

Half the pianos of this country catch winter colds exactly as human beings do. They get hOarse or have a cough or a stiff note, or some other similar complaint which cannot be cured by home remedies, but which requires tedious and expensive doc toring. In order to prevent these avoidable ailments piano should be kept in a moderatly warm room, where the temperature is even say GO or 70 degrees, the year round-nOt cold one day and hot the next. The instru- ment should not. however. be too near the source of heat It should be kept closed and covered with a felt cloth when not in use, particularly in very cold weather. Always place the pi- ano close to but not against an in- side Mall.

TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN HARDING

When the sub committee in charge of tfe arrangements for the repub- lican national convention decided up- on Senator Harding of Ohio as the temporary chairman it made a wise selection. It did not overlook the fact in the first place that it was a repub- Hcan convention which they were planning for or that the man chosen to sound the keynote must be pos sessed of the ability and the tempera- ment for clearly and firmly setting forth the position of the party in the convention and in the campaign to follow.
 It is well known where Senator Harding stands. He is a man who has always stood strong with the peo- pie and they have displayed their con- ffdence in him by entrusting him with responsible public service. He is a man much after the stamp of McKin- ley which makes it certain that he is not one who is given to playing to the grandstand, and in view of the in- fluences that are at work it becomes evident that the convention is not to be thrown over to those who are work ing for it's control from without
 MT. Harding is not handicapped by any entangling alliances, past or pres ent. He is thoroughly convinced of the soundness of the party principles and his selection as the man to set them forth in the campaign which is to take place this year is an excellent one. It can be certain that he will not be found advocating the chasing of rainbows but on the other hand he will be found, unless confidence in him is greatly misplaced, presenting the logical course which the republican party must follow in looking after the interests of the country at this time

MUST FINISH JOB,

It may be the attitude of member of CarranZa's government that inas- much as the United States troops have accomplished their object in destroy ing Villas military power they should therefore be withdrawn from Mexican territory, but this can hardly be view ed in the same manner on this side of the border.
 Villa has been put to flight and his forces appear to be more disorganiZed than ever before, but that does not of necessity mean an end of Villa or his operations as a bandit. It would be a pretty situation for this country to recall it's forces and leave the outlaw chieftain free to resume his activity and strike at the border towns when ever he feels in the mood, or even to continue to jeopardize the lives of Americans in Mexico. Such punish ment as has been inflicted upon Villa has been slight, and to abandon the expedition now would simply serve as an invitation to come back.
 The fact of the matter is that there should be no letup in the pursuit un- til the purpose is fully accomplished Mexico must understand by this time that this country Is not attempting a conquest oI that republic. It is en- gagged in a task which has been made necessary because of the inability of that government to suppress a gang ot bandits which is not only working against the interests of that country but is a menace to the subjects ot other countries, and whatever is beins accomplished or can be done to put an end to it should be welcomed. Ii ShOU1d even receive the hearty oooD- eration which will hasten the time when the work of this expedition will be completed. It certainly cannot be left half done and Mexico should be the last one to urge it.

FLOWER POTS PAINTED.

Ordinary red clay flower pots can be turned into decorative pieces for the window sill by the use of ordinary house paint or enamel. with perhaps the aid of a stencil. Black and white Is so much in vogue at present that the pots painted in black and white stripes are quite distinctive. 4 quaint effect can be produced by first paint ing the pot in black and white stripes and then after the paint is thoroughly dry stenciling Q pattern of tiny brown butterflies around the top. Charm ing results can be secured with sten- cils and they are not hard to use After the paint is dry the stencil is held firmly with the hands and the enamel applied in the openings.

DENTS IN HARD WOOD.

Dents in hard wood may be re- moved, but the process requires time and patience. Cover the spot with at least four thicnesseS of damp paper. On them place a hot iron for a mo- ment. This will raise havoc with the varnish. Repeat the process until the surface is even, then sandpaper the wood down, rub with alcohol or var nish and refinish the wood. If the dent is very slight a red hot poker held above it may be sufficient to re- move the dent and the varnish may not be injured below the surface.
 Should it be harmed an application of equal parts of olive oil, vinegar and alcohol will restore the finish.
