GOOD SCREENS CHEAPEST
Expert Says Copper Wire, Although,
More Costly, Will outiast Iron
Many Times.

That 1t does not pay to use cheap
iron screens on any building more
valuable than a chicken house, is the
opinion of DR.. J. D. Walters, profess
sor of architecture and drawing in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Persons erecting new dwellings should
equip them with screens that will last
many years, he says.
An average two-story house con.
tains upwards of two dozen openings
that should be screened" said Doctor
Walters. The best screens are made
Of a strong white pine sash and cop
per wire screening. Another grade is
made of FIR lumber and a screen ma
terial made of a composition called
white metal. The cheaper grades are
made of yellow Southern pine and COW
cred with common iron wire screening.
"The first screen named is rather ex.
pensive on account Of the high price
OF copper, but it does not need to be
painted, and should last II years. The
iron wire screen, on the other hand,
will rust out the first season and rare.
" lasts more than two or three years.
"A screen door should be made with
L hardwood sash and should be pro-
vided with the best kind of spring
hinges and knob lock. There should
be sufficient cross rails and cross
braces in it to prevent sagging. The
window screens are usually fastened at
the top by cheap black vanished butts
and are hooked at the bottom with a
cheap hasp and staple"

WILL train CITY MANAGERS
Kansas State University Establishes
Course Which Is First Of the
Kind in This Country.

Kansas is preparing to establish In
it's state university a four-year course
In city management, the first of it's
kind to be established in the country.
When a man, or woman either, Is
graduated from this course he will
have had thorough training in every
department of city affairs except poll
tics, and will 60 out to help run cities
as a trained man goes into a factory
or business. Prof. F. w. Blackmar,
who is head of the economics depart.
ment and has been instructed to pre-
pare the details of the course, had this
to say concerning the need for such
school:
mo man can manage business I'M
less he has a thorough understanding
Of its nature. The man who manages
q city ought to be as experienced as
an engineer, or a teacher. Why can
not universities train men for manag'
ing cities as well as it can for other
professions? That is what we propose
to do. The course of study for train.
ing city managers should be about one
half the ordinary classroom and lee
ture work and the rest laboratory in
vestigation into the actual needs Of
municipal operation"

Trade DEVELOPMENT Profitable.

The competition of cities to secure
trade for their manufacturers, whole

Retail Interests Benefited.

Through chamber of commerce work
the retail interests in community are
brought together to work together for
Improvement in local methods of mer-
chandising, for investigation and
elimination of "fy-by-night' concerns
and fraudulent advertisers. Credit bu-
reaus are often maintained. and truth
full advertising is thing insisted
upon. Universal trading conditions To-
cally are considered and worked ont,
not only for the protection Of the re-
tail stores, but for the protection OF
the customer.

Pretty Exterior Finish Effects.

Beveled siding, shingles and brick
are used to finish the exterior Of many
houses now. The combination Of these
materials does not produce patch
finish, but they harmonize beautifully!
The brick are used in the foundation
walls from grade to the stills, and In
the porch railing wall.
The sides Of the house are finished
With beveled siding up to the second
floor, and with shingles the rest Of the
way to the roof. If the shingles are
stained some fairly dark tint and the
beveled siding is painted some light
color or white, with the window sash
dark, the effect produced is very
pleasing.

What is Anuric?
The New Discovery for Kidneys.
Rheumatism and Backache.

Send 10 cents with name of this paper,
to Dr.. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., for large

vince any one suffering from kidneys,
bladder, backache, that it is many times
more active than lithia, and dissolves
uric acid in the system as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless, it preserves the kidneys In
healthy state by thoroughly cleansing
them. Anuric sweeps from the blood
the uric acid which causes rheumatism,
govt, sciatica. Anuric is an insurance
agent against sudden death. Send to

AN APPEAL TO CONFEDERATE
BOYS AND GIRLS.
MR.. EDITOR:

MR.. EDITOR:
| We ask the privilege of speaking
through your paper, to the Confeder.
ate boys and girls of Greenwood, to
tell them that the Varina jefferson
Davis Chapter will hold its annual
memorial service at the Confederate
Memorial building, in Greenwood, next
Sunday afternoon, June Bird, to COM
memorate the birth day of our be-
loved and honored president of the
Copfederacy, Jefferson Davis at four
o'clock, and to ask each and every
one Of them to bring flowers and place
them on the Confederate monument,
at the courthouse square. The mem
bers Of this chapter will meet at the
monument at five o'clock p. m. just
after the service at the Memorial
building.
The band will play while the flowers
are being placed on the monument.
We want the boys and girls of Con-
federate ancestry to have a part in
this public demonstration; for no mat
ter what wars may yet be fought or
what deeds Of valor may be done, moth
ing can ever surpass, if equal, the
chivalry and heroism Of the Confed-
crate soldier, and the courage and
self-sacrifce of the Confederate wom-
an. So through their Confederate an
cestors, our boys and girls have a her
itage Of which they should be proud,
and which should be an inspiration to
great and noble deeds. Boys and girls,
descendants Of these heroic men and
women, we ask you to be loyal to the
sacred memories Of the past and to
come and place your tribute on the
monument next Sunday afternoon.

President Of varina Jefferson Davis
