keep his buildings painted takes q
much deeper interest IN his work than
one who does not. Another Mime

ings have resulted In securing from
his bank sometimes as high as % per
cent. more money than where the
buildings are not painted. An Ohio
concern says that 1t will loan Is per
cent. more money or a well kept farm
where buildings are painted at least
ono every five years. A southern Tli-
noIs bank says that 1t has no ixed
rule about this, but 1t does make a de-
cided difference when owners of farm
lands apply for loans. If the buildings
are we'll painted and thus we'll pre-
served the loan rate would not only
be cheaper, but the amount of money
borrowed would be larger. A northern
Illinois bank does not hesitate to say
that It would loan fully 30 per cent.
more on a farm where buildings were
we'll painted and In good order than
where they were not. The vice presl.
dent, who answers the inquiry, goes
on to say There probably are many
farmers good financially and morally
who permit their buildings to remain
implanted, but as a rule the most sub.
stantial people who live in the coun.

osltion to keep the farm buildings well
painted. They not only look better
and are more pleasing to the owner
but the farm would sell to better ado
vantage, the loan value Of the property
would be greatly increased and the
buildings themselves would last much
longer and need less repair.-The

PAINT AND I%LLITERACY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That 10.
eallties Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also.

Washington, D. CA curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu.
cational Bureau and the Bureau of In.
dustrial Research here. 1t is that In
the states where illiteracy is most
prevalent paint Is least used. The
paint referred to Is the common or
barn variety, Of course, for the back.
woods countries have no need for the
finer pigments or facial adornments.
1t is true, though, that in the sections
of all states where white ~iIliteracy Is
highest painted homes are rare and
painted ou%tbuildings and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the
iIliterates do not s paint on their
buildings because they do not under.

value Of a farm when buildings are
properly kept up and regularly paint
ed7 A careful inquiry Of a number Of
leading bankers In the Mississippi val
ley, including such states as Iowa, ILL
nois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Mis-
souri,, reveals the fact that In nearly
every case the bankers did not hest
tate to say that they would lend all the
way from s to SO per cent. more on
land where farm buildings were we'll
painted and kept In good condition.
They maintain that we'll kept-up and
we'll painted buildings and fences are
an indication Of thrift and that the
thrifty farmer lie a good client, and to
him money can be safely loaned. An
average Of the returns from these
bankers shows that the Increased loan
value because Of painted buildings is
around % per cent.
. Some Of these bankers make inter
esting comment. A Michigan concern
says that, while not especially pre-
pared to advise definitely in response
to this inquiry, the officers would loan
more money on farms where buildings
were painted than where they were
not 50 treated. This bank also finds
that where houses, barns and fences
are well taken care Of the farm is a
profitable proposition, and bankers In
general consider the farmer a good
client Another Michigan bank says
farm buildings out Of repair and
needing paint indicate that the owner
IL slow pay" Such farms are rated at
about one-third Of the assessed value
for loans. Where the farm buildings
are In good shape the rating is one
half. The president Of a middle west
ern bank says that when real estate
loans are considered, painted buildings
are always taken into consideration In
making an estimate. The general ap-
pearance of the property surrounding
the house and barn and also the fields
and fences would be carefully observ.
ed. He further says that he has no
hesitancy In saying that he would alb
solutely refuse a loan on farms where
the buildings were not kept up and
well painted. In his judgment, un-
painted farm buildings would reduce
the loan value at least Is per cent.
A Minnesota banker says that he Is
much ore willing to loan money
where the buildings are well painted.

From Day to Day.

Don't imagine that the doctor can
cure your Ills when It depends on you
to ARE for yourself. 1t Is not fair to
the doctor to ask him to do the whole
thing with a few little pills. What
you do from day to day has more to do
with your health than any medicine
Gun possibly have, and plenty of sub
stantial food. sleep and air constitute
a daily dose that should never be over

The predlcament,

Teddy had the usual nine o'clock
sickness and did not have to go to
school as a result. But at ten o'clock
he found that he had recovered, and
after dressing sought his mother in the
kitchen. "Im well, mother" he an
nounced, "but I can't go to school till
noon. You see it's too late now just
to be counted tardy and too early to
be counted absent"

READING Useless Without Action.

If you want to get value out Of a
book, however, don't lean on 1t as
though you were a cripple. A book
can't take you by sheer force and
project you into a good job, or put
more money in your pay envelope, or
make you industrious or patient when
you are otherwise. All you can expect
of a book is that 1t tells you how these
things car be accomplished. The real
Job lies with you.

Everybody LauuhI

The girl who laughs because she Is
sunny-hearted, and finds things to en-.
Joy as she goes along, adds enjoyment
to others as they go along. There is
something in a smile that calls out
a smile, and spontaneous laughter is
the most catching thing In the world.
No one, who hea.s a joyous laugh is
likely to scowl In response.
