A Durable whitewash

Whitewash is so commonly used
around the farm that 1t is advisable to
know just how to make 1t properly,
says the Farm Progress. The follow
ing recipe for q cement whitewash is
made use Of by owners OF cold storage
warehouses who desire snowy white
wash that dries quickly, adheres
strongly to cement, brick or wood and
does not rub off on the clothes.
Stake one-half bushel of lime with
boiling water, adding the water slowly
and stirring constantly until thin
paste results. A f1ve-foot piece of three
quarter inch pipe makes a good rod
for stirring. The lime will be lumpy II
the water is added freely and the mass
is not properly stirred. Add one-half
peck of salt to the lime paste; stir
thoroughly; add water to bring the
whitewash to the proper consistency.
Throw q good handful of Portland &C.
ment in each pail Of whitewash and a
teaspoonful of ultramsrine blue. Add
the cement and the blue powder just
before the wash is to be used and stir
in we'll, otherwise the whitewash will
be streaked. The cement makes the
wbitewash adhere strongly to any sur
face, and the bluing counteracts the
Rrayish color Of the cement and re-
suits In q white appearance.

Farmers Facing Most Prosperous
Era in Their Entire History

Era in Their Entire History
1.-THE world is hungry as 1t never
was before and the farmers Of the
world, as the producers Of the things
which will satisfy that hunger, face
the most promising era of their his
tory"
This was the keynote OF the annual
address of President o. F. Gardner,
of the Colorado Farmers Congress,
which began its eighth annual session
at the Agricultural college here to-
day.
President Gardner said that the
eyes Of the world are turned on the
producer as they have never been be-
fore. Production of foodstufis and
raw material for clothing has been
..all shot to pieces" literally and fig
uratively in Europe and he told the
farmers In Colorado In attendance on
the Congress that never had body
of farmers assembled themselves to-
gether at so important time.
when the war in Europe Is over"
he said, I'VE must be ready to meet
the enormous demands which will be
made upon us. The demand for food
and clothing will be even greater then
than 1t Ia now. In order to meet this
demand and thus take advantage Of
our opportunity-sn opportunity, as
have previously limited, such rs has
never been ours before-we must push
our.production up t.. the very limit.
To do this we must use our brains.
We must study all the new Legislation.
such as the new rural credits law, "
must take advantage of every bit Of
assistance we can get from our Agri-
cultural college, from our county aR-
ricultural agents, and from the Unit
ed States government.
1.-The most comforting thing about
the situation is that we need not fear
over production. There can be no such
thing as over production Of food stufFs
and raw material for clothing in the
next few years.
"As never before Is It evident today
that the business Of producing the
fundamental things Of life is Big Bus
mess. We must use big business meth
DDS; we must use big business brains.
ii we are to be equal to the demands
which will be made op us.
1.-The day of the individual living
only for the Individual In rural COM
munities is past We cannot fulfil our
destiny any longer by that method.
Why, we cannot even partake Of our
rewards and the pleasures Of life to
the fullest extent II we follow that
old principle. We must correlate our
selves into tangible, effective, harmon
ious community units. We must take
cognizance Of our relationship to the
State. We must make q closer study
Of legislation, for We are the State!
And even As nation, we occupy q
position which requires our very best
forethought and vision. This is true
of every other nation Of the world.
When the present world war termin-
ates every nation in the world will find
itself in position as regards its rela-
tionship to the other nations for which
there is no precedent. We must think
out our course of action, and the well
fare of civilization in the future will
depend upon the wisdom and judg-
ment we display"

Who Wouldn't be an Editor

The editor Of q good Michigan week
ly takes occasion In recent issue to
tell his readers that there Is joy and
satisfaction to be found in his job,
even II there are people who miscon-
strue the motives that prompt him to
print some of the things he does.
This is how he puts IL:
Zone fellow stopped his paper be-
cause he couldn't stand the Ledger's
dry editorials; and 872 others re-
newed their subscriptions with ex-
pressions Of confidence during Octo-
Der aud November. 7y r
"AnOther fellow grumbled because
the Ledger supported local man for
q county Office. The Ledger has al
ways favored home candidates and
probably always will. 1t befriends its
friends. Why,shouldn'tit? That's the
way we keep our friends-by deserv-
ing them.
''Still another fellow bowls because
we stood by neighbor when he was
In trouble. What are friends good for
II you can't find them when you want
them? And he's going to ball US outr
Well! we'll! Wonder what that is?
Anyhow, 1t won't be for knitting our
friend in the back. Come on with
your old "ball' game! twill be good
advertising for Uncle Marcus.
Then here's the sissy who thinks
1t was slammed by our Sunday movie
editorial. Great Scott! II we hadn't
more sense than that, we'd eat fish
and then more fish. But here, again,
it's hundreds to one In our favor. For
when we plead for home, morals and
. reasonable prudence against per-
petual spending and gadding about,
we are pleading the cause Of all the
people.
1.-THE church is good institution,
but II the preachers tried to run them
every night In the year and lead peo-
pie to neglect their business, their
families and their homes, we would
protest against it; and 1t would be
perfectly right.
"Same with the moving-picture
theatres. We believe they have a
good and legitimate purpose in the
community, that they can be made of
great moral and educational value as
well as amusing; and we have tried
to encourage shows of that character.
We've been friendly to theaters and
managers and have asked the public
to encourage them to give US their
best.
"That doesn't mean that they should
monopolize week nights and Sundays
also. Let US all be satisfied with .
good thing and fair shake and leave
the people little money to pay gro
Gerry fuel and rent bills, q little more
for the rainy day that is sure to
come, and at least one day in the
week for other things.
Don't believe it, brother. The Led
ger isn't 'slamming.' 1t Is simply
standing for the right-as we see it.
just as we always have done; and
just as we always will.
That's the joy and satisfaction Of
being an editor worth while and be-
Ing willing to stand up and be 'balled
OUT II need be, for principle.
And those e72 jolly. good people
who swelled our heart with kind
words and our bank account with

Icy Is sound.
