PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation of structural ma
terials, which may be obtained through
the application of paint, constitutes q
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 thin
dried film of paint The latter mate
rial when applied dries to a continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles Of metallic, wear resisting
pigments. A square foot Of such a
film upon a wooden surface costs less
than a penny, yet it will beautify and
protect a dollars worth of surface for
many years. This is low rate of in
surance.
Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, sheds,
posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons,
implements, windmills and other struc-
lures, whether of wood, iron or cement,
should be preserved, through the use
of paint, from rapid decay. High grade
paint may be used successfully for all
such purposes. Colored paints will be
found the most seviceable, the coloring
matter in the paint adding from two
to three years to the life of the coating.

KAGERSTOWN TRACTOR SHOW
Every Farmer Will be Interested in
This Greatest of Demonstrations

vi
On April 1917 the Mckee farm at
Hagerstown will be the scene of the
greatest tractor demonstration ever
held in Maryland. Through the CO.
operation of the Washington County
Agricultural Association, the Mary
land State College of Agriculture and
County Agent Thomas L. Smith, of
Hagerstown, the probabilities are
that this will prove the largest power
machinery demonstration ever staged
in the east.
1t is planned to combine the tractor
interests in many Western Maryland
counties as well as counties in South
ern Pennsylvania and Northern West
Virginia and Virginia by holding a
comprehensive demonstration at a
central point and Hagerstown has
been chosen.
The two days will be filled with
power machinery features, with trac-
tor blowing, discing, rolling, oat and
clover seeding, manure and lime
spreading and belt work for the trac-
tors. 1t is further planned to hold
large tractor parade and the imple-
ment men are sure to supply their
very best offerings for this feature.
1t is certain that thousands of visit
ors will be in Hagerstown for this big
event and the committee in charge,
together with the Hagerstown Cham
Der of Commerce, are making prepa-
rations for a record breaking crowd
Harry f. Bester, president of the
Washington County Agricultural As
sociation and chairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements, is making am
pie provision for refreshment booths,
water and other conveniences, so that
those attending will be afforded every
comfort.
Participating in this huge demon
stration will be seen tractors of the
following makes;Wallace Happy Far
mer, Chase, Avery, Fordson, Emer-
son-Braningham, Cleveland, Waterloo
Boy, Moline, International Harvester,
Wallis Cub, Huber, Chase, Frick, Par
ret, Maxim.
All roads will lead to Hagerstown
during this two-day exhibit and the
committees in charge want you to
take this as personal invitation to
be present. The demonstration fields
are located within a mile of "the
square" and are easily accessible,
both by road and trolley.
Every farmer in Garrett county
who is interested in a tractor, di-
rectly or indirectly, should attend this
big tractor demonstration. There he
will have an opportunity to decide
which tractor is best suited to his
particular needs and see the many
uses to which the tractor may be put.
A big automobile party is being
planned to go from this county and
all who are interested and would like
to join the party should notify the
County Agent not later than Monday
noon, April 18th, and receive instruc-
tons as to the place of meeting, the
time of departure, etc. The party
will not leave until Wednesday morn
ing, but the County Agent will have
to go down on Tuesday, and will be
glad to arrange for accommodations
for those who wish to stay over for
the demonstration on the second day.
On the second day the tractor will
seed oats and clover, haul lime, mari
and manure and demonstrate belt
work. Everyone will be given an OPP
portunity to become acquainted.
Remember the dates, April 1917.

A Market Place

Market places for products of all
kinds is naturally one of the desired
things Of the farmers of this or any
other section. Good markets build
| good farm homes and make good
towns in the district in which these
good farm homes are located. Ono
| of these market places in Ordway is
the Gallavan Bos. store where, in
what lines they deal in, a good mark.
ct is Afforded the year around. The
modern meat department of that
store provides an outlet for a great
deal of the livestock which comes
on the market at various seasons OF
the year and 1t might not have been
considered as being big by the aver
age citizen, but nevertheless in the
course OF year that firm pays out
thousands Of dollars to the producers
in this section for fat cattle and far
hogs, providing an excellent outlet
for the farmers who have one or
more hogs or one or more head of
fat cattle to sell and who does not
have a sufficient number to make
shipments himself.
The store is one of Ordway's old
est concerns and 1t is one of Ordway's
growing stores-every year showing
du luCTcdbc III DuslutSS III every way,
and the slogan, the store with tho
goods is the store with the trade" is
a fitting one, for their trade the past
year shows that an enormous lot of
merchandise has been handled over
their counters.
The Gallavan store is owned solely
by the two Gallavan Bros, George
and Thomas Gallavan, and their best
attention is given at all times to the
business and to the meeting of the
demands of their trade. This firm
has always made a legitimate bid
for the business of the community
and has been rewarded, because of
the stock they carry and the services
rendered the general public. 1t is
their desire to increase their ability
to supply market for products and
they hope to see markets built up
in Ordway which will handle every
commodity. no matter what the ma
ture.
Gallavan Bros. started into bust
ness in Ordway in 1903, and have
builded a business pleasing to them
selves and profitable to the COM
munity.

LONDON, Jan. Some of the wonder
achieved in aerial navigation and other
wonders contemplated were spoken of
to-day by MaJor-Gen. Sir +. II. sykes,
Chief of the Air stan. in an address
before the Chamber OF Commerce
Gen. Sykes told how Paul II. Cravath
and Oscar T. Crosby. American members
of the Interallied Council had peen car
ried from England to Paris and back on
the same day in four hours and twenty
minutes.
II was asserted by Gen. Sykes that in

207 trips were made across the English
Channel The mileage traversed was
s,035 and 1913 passengers we're carried,
although flying was possible only on
seventy lone DAYS.
The fatal accidents were surprisingly
few. said Gen. Sykes. the average being
only one fatality in every LILO hours
flown.
