REASONS TO PAINT UP.
Clean Up Called Useless Unless New
Dress Is Given.

And paint-up"-This warning is en-
phaszed by the civic leaders in charge
of the cleanup and paint-up campaign,
who give the following reasons:
Because a cleanup without a
paint-up is useless and absurd. Houses
that are implanted eyesores are made
uglier and more conspicuous when only
streets and grounds are cleaned up,
because the painted surface, inside
and outside. is washable and therefore
can be kept clean and sanitary. Paint

ARTISTIC METHOD
IN HOUSE PAINTING

the surrounding landscape.

that good taste is a higher and safer
standard than a mere fad. style or

We have found that the selection of
the right color scheme for ones house

The two rules of simplicity and fit

Unfailing Source of Pleasure.

The grounds and buildings Of subur-
ban or country home carefully planned
will be an unfailing source of pleasure
to the neighborhood and will be copied by
many, often Transforming whole neigh
borhood.
"a house which is set close to trees or
other verdure should not be painted
green or olive, though there may be no
objection to green trimmings. Colors
contrasting with the surrounding are
better for the body. If a house it low,
with a tendency toward 'squattness, a
dark color should not be used. Paint
the house tight and preserve the benefit
of what height it possesses.
Nothing is better than pure white for
certain styles of country and suburban
houses, especially if set snugly against
green background and amid green sur
roundings. Naturally. however, white is
a poor scheme for factory towns or dirty
localities. 1t can very satisfactorily be
used in such large residential and
clearly city as Washington. A very light
gray. like French or pearl gray, may be
more durable than pure white and yet
give nearly white effects.

Big IMPORTANCE OF
SILO TO ANY FARMER
Economy in Feeding Will Be in
Great DSmand This Year
SiIage Solves Problem.

The Importance Of the silo this year
will be understood when we consider
that under ordinary conditions the
silo will save about 40 per cent of
corn crop used as sllage. When we
remember the value of feed and the
corresponding value of cattle and
sheep we will realize the saving by
putting corn in the silo.
Every farmer that has cows, sheep,
goats, beef cattle and other animals
will need silage. And now is the time
to prepare for the silO.
or the silage crops corn is the hest
where corn Is the surest and best
crop. But where sorghum, milo, kaftr
or feterita are the surest and best
they will be the crops to plant. In
other words, the crop that will pro-
duce the greatest tonnage of the best
silage will be the best crop for the
silo. And any OF the crops mentioned
will make good silage if cut at the
right stage of ripeness and properly
packed in the silo will make fine feed.
Economy in feeding will be in great
demand this year. To provide this an
abundance of silage will be needed.
With silage it viii be an easy matter
to winter cattle and sheep and little
silage for the work teams will be
beneficial to them.
