On the instant, David lifted his rife

From Glrty's lips broke the roar Of

Five Things Every Farm Home
Should Have.

With more money for our staple
crops than we have ever before OBJ
tanned, the question Of how best to
make use Of our prosperity, the things
for which we may to best advantage
expend some Of our surplus funds, is
one well worth considering. Here we
wish to offer five suggestions:
1. Paint the farm buildings. Paint
costs comparatively little, but 1t adds
immeasurably to the appearance Of
the place. Not only this, but paint
ing is true economy; money spent for
paint means insurance against loss
from decay, no less than does money
spent for fire insurance mean insur.
ance against fire losses.
2. Plant grass, flowers and trees.
In land where we may have green
lawns the year round, we have too oft.
en- been content with hard-baked, bar.
rem yards instead OF carpets Of green
in land Of flowers we have used all
too little of these to add to The beauty
of our farm homes; with wealth of
beautiful trees to draw &on, the cool
-bordered lane ovthe avenue OF
pecans or oaks leading up to the farm
home is all tc6 ze.
3. Put in w. works. As saver
of labor, tired backs and worry, run
ming water is one of the greatest OF
all boons. Systems may be installed
at a cost ranging from SIS up, ant
whatever the cost, within reason, thu
investment is good one. Why MOI
talk the water works question owe
with mother today. We know shell
not object.
4. Install a good lighting system
For our part. because of convenience
cleanliness and simplicity, we woul,
prefer electric lights for the farm
home. though the first cost is highe
than for other systems. Acetylen
lights, too, are excellent, and the cos
Of installing is considerably less thai
for the electric lights. II neither elet
tricity nor acetylene can be uset
there are improved kerosene lamp

A FLAT AND FAIR STATEMENT.

The publisher who continues to
work on credit, while print paper Is
almost as high priced as leather used
to be, has about as much backbone
as a marshmallow. II there ever was
a time when publishers could not af-
ford to give their papers away that
time is now. Business men, advertis.
ers, who are being told by solicitors
that such or such paper has large
circulation are wise II they investi-
gate the publishers methods. II he
is lax in his subscription collections,
II he sends his paper overtime to
subscribers, II he puts on new sub.
scribers by cutting rates and giving
valuable premiums, his circulation
may be-generally will be-nothing
like as large as he claims. II is not
possible to pay present prices for pa
per, give the paper away and make
up the difference out OF legitimate
advertising rate. This is a flat and
fair statement ofpresent'day condi'
lions, and some advertisers who have
