Query.-What do you think OF paint as
an Investment, aside from the appearance
ii lends? Does ii really PAY to paint a
house regularly, say. every three or four
years?
Answer-Good paint properly APP
piled when needed is the main thing in
making house last long and well. a
house worth $500 can be painted at
cost of about S125 In 60 years that
house will need about ID paintings,
the total cost of which will be $1,S95.
Left without paint, such house would
fall into complete ruin i'm 80 years. So
taking GO years as a basis for our fig
ures we lind that with paint a home
will last that time in good condition
and will cost, plus paint, $4,375. With
out paint the house would have to be
rebuilt at the end of 80 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the siXtieth year ar
rived. Cost, without paint, $4,000 for
home ready TO fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay? AS the old
Dutch adaee says:

Answer.-It is learned that such n
plan is in effect and IS linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works of war to the ways of peace.
Employment must be found, in the
meanwhile. for those whose occupa-
ton has been interrupted. There is no
real surplus of labor in the United
States. Rather there is a shortage,
which would be acute If normal condi-
ditions were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed by
the necessities of the war program.
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction,
Improvement and. repairs. These re-
strictions are now off, and there is
scarcely town, a city, a factory, a
dwelling or farm that does not reveal
Il crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex-
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower
That is not logical. No matter what
it costs to repair, the cost is less than
the cost of neglect. No matter what
the cost of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect higher bill in
deterioration and decay.

seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Ca

That the district through which the government railroad operates is big game country is evidenced by the fact that a bull moose walked across the railroad track within few yards of camp 86, in the Turnagain Arm dls- trict, and was shot by L. o.

The result ot the walking by the moose and the sue cessful shooting by Foreman Nyberg was that the occupants of the camp feasted during the week on the fat and choice portions of the carcass At Talkeetna a mother bear and two cubs wandered about on the outskirts of the town They were shot oy Harry R.

PROFITEERINC
 IN SIBERIA IS
 MADE FINE ART

OMSK, Siberia, July 30 (Corres pOndence of Associated Press).- Pro1teering has reached it's apex as ga fine art" throughout central and western Siberia, where no speculator is satisfied with less than 100 per cent profit and often gouges as much as 1000 per cent out of his hapless customers, according to stories com ing in here.
 These traders, many of them snug glers, who, taking advantage of the shortage of everything except the products of the country, the unstable value of the ruble and the difficulties of transportation, cOntrive to get through with few pairs of shoes, particularly ladies' shoes, few bolts of silk or dress goods, a few cases of timed fruits, or, in fact, any foreign made product whatsoever, reap rich harvests.
 Before a regular express service was inaugurated the many special trains coming up from Vladlvostok and Harbin were the targets of the speculatOrs. By connivance with the porters and unknown to the other occupants, nearly every speclal brought in it's complement of merch- andise slowed away under berths and in obscure corners, to be handed over upon arrival at some designated point.
 The Red Cross has had it's difficult ties side-stepping the designs of this gentry from time to time. On one oc- casion, it is related, Red Cross rep resentative in Irkutsk was ap- preached with an offer of hundred pairs of shoes as a gift for the good of the cause In due time they ar rived. from Dairen, but in place of one hundred pairs there were one thousand They had passed the GUS toms free of charge, being consigned to the Red Cross, and it was the owners expectation that the extra 900 would be delivered to him. They were all bundled off to Dairen.
 The speculators' day will have gone, however, it is said, as soon as the traffic is readjusted under the Interallied committee management and legitimate commerce is resumed. Many of the abuses have already been corrected through closer government inspection at the frontiers, but Ill spite of all efforts to check it, the speculation evil still persists.

CHINESE BENEFICIARIES OF BOXER INDEMNITY
 TO BE EDUCATED HERE

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 16 (by As sociated Press) One hundred and forty Chinese students, bound to com plete their education in universities of America under terms of the Boxer indemnity, have arrived here. They will be followed by some sixty more, making the largest number yet to come to this country in one year.
 Of the first group seventy-three are from Tsing Hua College, which was established in Picking when the Unit ed States returned to China the Boxer indemnity money for educa- tional purposes. Every year large number of students are sent to the United States, their expenses being paid out of this returned indemnity fund. These students, returning to China, are playing an increasingly important role in Chinas affairs.
 Dr. Wellington Koo, Chinese ambas- sador to the United States, and c. T. Wong, both of whom were Chinese delegates to the Paris peace con- ference, were educated in the United States, and are members of the Amer ican Returned Students Association.
