PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation of structural ma
terials. which may be obtained through
the application of paint, constitutes a
most vital means of furthering the con-
servation of our natural resources. 1t
is, moreover, the most economical
method of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep Of any commu-
nifty.
A structure coated with sheets of In.
dia rubber would not be as well protect
ed from decay as structure coated
with a good oil paint. This Is due to
the fact that a sheet of rubber is not
SO durable or as waterproof as a thin
dried aim of paint. The latter mate
rial when applied dries to continuous
elastic dim containing finely divided
particles Of metallic, wear resisting
pigments. A square foot Of such a
Aim upon a wooden surface costs less
than a penny, yet II will beautify and
protect dollars worth of surface for
many years. This IL low rate Of In
surahce.
Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, sheds,

should be preserved, through the. use
Of paint, from rapid decay. High grade
paint may be used successfully for all
such purposes. Colored paints win be
found the most seviceable. the cpioring

Among the striking examples of in
dividual achievement in home garden
Ing that have been reported to the
United States department OF agricul-
ture Is that Of George A. Williams, an
employee Of the government pension Of
ice In Washington.
Despite the handicap caused by the
loss Of an arm, Mr. Williams last sea-
son grew thirty-one varieties of vege-
tables in his home garden Of slightly
less than one-fifth Of an acre. lie sold
In his neighborhood vegetables worth
1926, In addition to those used by his
family of four persons.
Despite the success in this instance,
the department Of agriculture does not
advise home gardeners to strive for a
great variety of crops, but to concen-
trate their efforts on few.

Ipected to have every citizen carry his
own share Of the quota, instead of let
ting his more patriotic neighbors car
ry more than their share. Local COM
mittees will hear appeals from those
who consider their quota too high.
In most instances, the same loyal
workers who carried the former loans
to success will form the committees on
the Victory Loan. At recent state
conferences thSy expressed confidence
in being able to put the job through,
and their enthusiasm is certain to car
ry them to success.
Treasury department officials who
have sounded out the sentiment OF the
whole country are confident that the
people are willing to lend to their
country for the purpose OF finishing
the job and paying the war bills. They
understand the gigantic work that is
still going on. and the necessity Of
bringing the boys back home; of CIV
ing the wounded men that education
and instruction which will enable them
| to get fresh start. The Government
| has still a big task before it, and the
expenditures are still large. But they
are far smaller in money--to say moth
ling of more precious lives-than IL the
war had continued. So the term,
"Fhanksgiving Loan" may well be ap-
piled to this, the last of the govern
ment's invitations to its people to lend
their money to their nation.

1t is true, though, that In the sections

TWO MEN WHO FOUND
PUREBRED BULLS PAID

There are thousands of men that are
demonstrating the truth that there are

these men Is r. j. Good Of Alabama
who, in the fall of 1915 when prices
were normal, sold on the st. Louis
market 80 calves. Twelve Of these
calves were sired by purebred beef
bull and 3S of them sired by scrub.
The II calves averaged 400 pounds
at 7hc or $50 head. The 3S calves
averaged 800 pounds at sc or $50 a
head.
These calves were all out Of Alaba-
ma scrub cows of the same class which
could have been bought for $50. The
calves were sold off Of grass and their
mothers milk at weaving time when

They were kept until 8 months of age
and fed little grain. They weighed

than their dams were worth.
Another man is Edgar Lusk, Of
