The thought that I cannot put
away now is that whatever [
might save now and fail to save
now may he a hundred times
the worst waste / shall ever have
committed though I have, like
most Americans, many a past
wasteful habit to regret.
It will be far the worst be-
cause not to save now is to
throw away the cooperation of
millions of others; because not
to save now will tend to prolOng
the war; because not to save
now will multiply the wars pri-
vations, lengthen it's death-rOll,
and the vast procession of it's
manned men and will make saw
ing more difficult and less effec-
tive by and by when we shall
be, compelled to save through
cruel conditions from which saw
ing now might have saved us.

The master painter who undertakes
to handle the finishing contract under
present-day conditions causes consid-
cradle friction before the contract is
completed. Oftentimes the general
contractor has been delayed and the
outside work has not gone along as
smoothly as it might had those col
umns arrived on time or if the dormer
trims had not been changed over. Then
the plumbers have had trouble in get
ting their work installed, with the re-
suit that the floors are tracked up and
paper and excelsior litter the once
clean floor. The decorator appears
with his curtain outfits just when it Is
advantageous to varnish the trim and
floor for the last coat in several rooms,
causing the master painter to wonder
whether after all, at is better to
smoke here than hereafter" Last of
ALL the owner comes along, looks
proudly at his new possessions, and as
last straw, leaves behind the sugges-
ton, "Hurry and finish up the job, so
that can get in here in couple of
days" And yet the master painter
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1918-06-07

is expected to turn out clean, well-var-
nished and enameled work; walls free
from finger marks left by other men
than his own, well-pOlished floors, free
frem heel-marks and scratches. The
strange part of 1t is that ninety times
out of a hundred he can stand the
gaff from everybody and deliver real
ly good job in the end.
For safety's sake, however, the mas
ter painter should have 1t stipulated
in his specifications that all inside
work shall be complete and accepted;
all refuse and dirt removed from all
rooms, closets and halls; that he will
not be responsible for results If plumb
ers, masons, carpenters, decorators or
others come in and cause dust, litter
or other annoyance, while working on
the fulfillment of his contract. If this
is agreed to In black and white before
the contract is signed, but little trou-
BILE will be experienced later on when
the work Is under way. No master
painter need be afraid that he will
lose a contract because Of such insist
ence, for the owner, in nine cases out
Of ten, will respect him all the more
for the evidence of care shown under
the circumstances especially if he has
explained to him something of the why
and wherefore, and that he will be
able to get into the new house more
quickly because the contract can be
more easily fulfilled.
Plaster Should Dry Three Weeks.
No inside work should be attempted
until the plaster has dried at least
three weeks, nor should the last coat
of outside finish be applied until after
this time has elapsed. The printing
and second coats on the siding protect
the lumber from external moisture,
cold and heat conditions, but at the
same time l am convinced that they
also exert q valvular action and allow
internal moisture to escape. For this
reason I much prefer to apply the last
coat of finish on new houses after all
the inside work of sizing, papering,
painting and vanishing Is done. Then
the outside last coat will hold its gloss
longer and the inside finish be brighter

Use o or f pumice stone and rub only
with the grain Of the wood until the
work is smooth and the surface has
been leveled off free from nibs. Sponge
clean, using a two-inch chisel Chinese
bristle brush for molding, and wipe
dry with a chamOis. Avoid all cloths
for wiping, as they invariably leave
lint, which will ruin any varnish fin
ish. Never let the pumice stone dry
on the work, as it will dust off and
float around to spoil fresh varnish APP
piled later. When properly dried, if
any says or tears have occurred on
the varniSh, they may be removed
with a chunk of pumice stone of fine
tooth, which has been shaped with a
file or sandpaper.
Finish Woodwork First.
All woodwork should be finished, ex-
cept for the last sponging off and pol"
fishing before the walls are touched, eli.
Their for painting, enameling or paper"
ing. This applies especially to the doors,
which should be stained, shellacked, file
ed and given one coat of finish immedi"
ately after hanging, to prevent subse-
quent swelling when not protected
from the conditions of moisture result
ing from the preparations on the walls.
The same consideration should govern
the treatment of the floors for the
first coat of finish in order that they
may not swell and subsequently open
up after the house is heated.
Much care must be exercised
throughout, in order that the work
may proceed smoothly and not cause
trouble, because some part may be In
huenced by some other portion through
not having been undertaken in the
proper order. Cleanliness and freedom
from dust are absolutely essential to
really good work, and will save much
excessive sandpapering or rubbing if
carefully observed. Clean brushes,
carefully put away in the proper
liquids at night so that they do not
rest on their own bristles, will do much
to make a successful job, so that with
the woodwork nicely finished, the
treatment of the walls may be next
considered.

and more permanent, because II Is not
being influenced by undue moisture in
the plaster and walls. The first thing
to be done is to start with the upper
most rooms and clean all walls, doors,
castings, trim and floors very carefully
and thoroughly, closing and locking
each room as it is cleaned. This pro-
cedure should be followed down to
the basement, and all ms ,erial swept
up should be carefully taken out of
the building.
Spirit Stains Hard to Apply.
The woodwork and standing trim
should first be stained, shellacked and
filed. The former should be a water
or oil stain. Avoid spirit stains, be-
cause they are exceedingly difficult to
apply free from laps and holidays"
and are not permanent to light. The
shellac coat may be either orange or
white, depending upon whether or not
the work is dark or light. Shellac
should be reduced one-half with dena-
tured alcohol; do not use wood alco-
hol if you wish to avoid the possibility
Of blindness resulting from the expos
ure to fumes In closed room. Never
apply shellac as an undercOat in full
body; it is merely a sizing coat for the
wood and will prevent much cloudiness
from improper sanding when the filler
Is applied. Let the shellac coat dry
at least three hours, more If the rooms
are cold. Prepare the filler, being
sure to use one prepared from slick
base and not from cornstarch or flour,
which will shrink and fade when the
oil has been absorbed by the wood.
Freedom From Dust Big Aid.
After the varnish has dried three,
days, or longer, it should be sanded
free from nibs with No. 90 or 5000 sand
paper. The trim should be carefully
busted; better still, sponged with
clear water and dried with a channels.
The floors should receive the same
treatment. If this method is followed,
and the rooms kept closed, an enor--
nous amount of sanding will be saved
in the end because Of great freedom
Of dust, the ruination of much var
nished trim. If the work is to be
rubbed with felt pad, pumice stoAe and
water, start with the head casing and
continuous trim, using a pad of Span
ish felt 7s by 31s by 5 inches. Have
two pals handy, one with water and
sponge in which to dip the rub
bling felt, the other to contain clean
water for sponging off after rubbing.

Construction Of power plants that
will cost $6,000,000 and that will revo-
lutionize the salmon packing industry
in the whole Columbia river basin,
are forecasted by application of Nc
Gowan (Wash.) packers for power de-
velopment sites on the Deschutes riv-

Applications for 5000 cubic feet of
water rights in all have been filed,
and plans have been prepared for two
gigantic dams, one 11S feet high, 800
feet long at the bottom and 800 feet
long at the top, and the other 236 feet
high, 90 feet long at the bottom and
400 feet at the top.
Power generated by the water i'm
pounded behind these dams will be
used to run salmon canneries and tin
plate plants in which the cans will be
made.

WANT FIGHT TO FINISH.

Now that there is a general belief that Germany may
accept our proposition and lay down her arms it must
be confessed that there is feeling of disappointment
This country did to go to war; but the preseva
tion Of national honor and the call of civilization
aced compelled the nation to act Our people went into
the conflict in dead earnest just Americans always do
when they tackle hard ob and they want to finish
it right before they quit.
AS one Of our exchanges remarks the Americans and
their allies have been hoping for triumphant victory
and lasting peace but they wanted that victory and that
peace to only after allied armies had invaded Ger
manys borders They wanted the war carried home to
German soil. There is almost universal feeling that
justice will not have been done matter how stern the
peace terms may be- If Germany has not been invaded and
made to experience Of the horrors of at home
the souls of the Frenchmen and the Begans ramped
der the heel Of ruthless military invasion.
All signs, however, point to the fact that Germany
is going to stop fighting matter what the peace terms
may be- In fact several German generals and diplomats
have already publicly declared that Germany will throw
up her hands" rather than risk military invasion 1t
Germany stops fighting the allies too, will have to stop,
and impose such terms they see fit War can not be
carried by civilized nations against another nation or
group Of nations which has ceased all resistance.
But If Germany wants peace at any price one OF the
terms upon which the United States and the allies should
insist should be military occupation of German and Aus
tfan forts and Cities and allied control Of the railroads
of the central powers until such time the Teut0nc
mics have been entirely dsbanded and every term of the
peace treaty carried out in full
And even at that the allied peoples will feel that Ger
many is getting off too easy There seems to be very
common wish that the Germans would stand by their
guns and fight to a finish.
