KEEP HOUSE LOOKING RIGHT
Liberal Use Of Paint Is True Economy
Means Higher Rent and y
Greater Value.

The best way to sell house is to
paint it first.
You can get higher rent for house
by painting it.
The banker will lend more money on
a well-painted house.
These are suggestions made in con
nection with clean-up-paint-up cam
paign that have arrested a great deal
Of attention.
A prominent banker said:
"Of course, it is easier to get loan
on a well-painted house. This is not
merely because the house is in better
repair and holding its value, but be-
cause the very fact that a man takes
good care of his property is proof to
us that he is not shiftless, that he is
provident and that we have reason
ably certain prospect Of getting the
loan paid back. 49,.
"a wel-painted house carries its
own recommendation, even as man
who is careful about the neatness of
his appearance makes a much more
favorable impression than one who is
careless" H.
When nature takes on a new dress,
why not be in harmony? is sugges-
ton for "clean-up-paint-up"' that
carries an appeal to most folks. 1t is
also pointed out that woodwork kiln
dried by furnace fire, in spring is actu-
ally parching and furnishing for re-
frcshing paint.
Again the suggestion is made that
when the east winds are high it. is
dangerous not to have your windows
carefully puttied.

Physically, Foch is little man. his
inches are about those Of Napoleon,
and he has Grants fondness for the
cigar. Like Joffre, n southerner, he
has frankness of speech which his old
commander has never displayed. I'm
like Petain his words are rarely caus-
tic and he has made friends among all
his allies. An old man, close to sew

was still handsome when the war be-

 OVER AMERICAN VICTORY.

 The brilliant victory of the Ameri- can army in biting off the St. Mihiel salient, and capturing so many of the enemy and war material, has caused general rejoicing.
 It is said that neither of the origi- nal units of the Arkansas National Guard, the First or the Third Regi- ments, is in this engagement, being still held in reserve camps.

BIG SHORTAGE
 OF GOOD SEED
Food Administration Will Assist Far mers In Locating Their Fall
 Supply of Grain.
Little Rock, Sept. Il, 1918

To County Food Administrators:
 Gentlemen: Referring to my re- cent letter regarding the urgency of Fall Seeding of Wheat, Oats and Rye, would say that the situation is even more serious than was anticipated, for investigation upon the part of the agricultural authorities develops the fact that there is a Marked Shortage of Good Seed. We find the greater portion of the crop already gone.
 As seed for Arkansas planting may have to be brought in from some dis tance It Is Essential That Local De- mands Be Ascertained and Orders Placed at Once.
 After conference all agencies inter ested have decided to look to J. H. Tull, Farm Marketing Agent, Little Rock, to act as a clearing house of seed grain and he will be glad to as- sist in trying to locate supply to fill orders for your county if same are filed with him. If you know of a surplus of any kind of seed please list it with Mr. Tull.
 Letters on this subject are today going from various state headquar- ters to every county agricultural agent, county council of defense chairman, bank and grain and feed dealer in the state, and you are urged to cooperate in seeing that your counties needs are ascertained and orders for grain seed placed with MT. Tull without delay.
 Many won't be able to get wheat, oats or rye in time unless orders are placed at once.
 Very truly yours, (
