The Wrong Tool

Since the first kaiser donned
his crown his talk had been Of
swords: he gloried in his war
lord frown, and dreamed OF
marching hordes. A sword is
but a useless tool, used in no
honest trade; and no one but a
knave or fool prefers it to a
spade. There is no sane, uplift-
ing job in which a swords re-
quired, and any fiery sword
struck swab is sure to make me
tired. Had Wilhelm clamored
for a hoe, when he secured his
throne, he might not now be
clothed in woe, an outcast sad,
alone. Instead of sending sub
marines to show new curves in
crime, he might have hoed his
stringless beans, admired in
every cline. Behind his Pots
dam linden trees he might have
had patch of stringless beans
or early peas that would be hard
70 match. By tolling for an hour
or two, each morning, briskly,
there, he might have won the
ribbon blue at state or county
fair. Had he insisted on a saw
as emblem Of his power! But
no, he might have sword to
draw, and flourish by the hour.
He did not wish to hew the helm
in useful two-foot length; the
sword must advertise his realm,
its majesty and strength. And
now he has no realm to- boost,
he cannot use his sword; he's
perched up on his lonely roost,
dishonored, weary, bored.

the application Of paint, constitutes a
most vital means Of furthering the con-
servation Of our natural resources. It
is, moreover, the most economical
method Of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep Of any commu-

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 film Of paint. The latter mate
rial when applied dries to continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles Of metallic, wear resisting
pigments. A square foot Of such a
film upon wooden surface costs less
than a penny, yet 1t will beautify and
protect a dollars worth of surface for
many years. This Is low rate Of in

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 colorins
matter in the paint adding from two
to three years to the life of the coating.

SIXTY-THREE "Y"
men DECORATED

Chicago-The Y. M. g. A. carried
the Red Triangle into the camps and
trenches abroad at cost of SO lives,
sacrifice proportionately one-quarter
as great as that in the American army,
according to a statement issued by the
national war work council of the Y.
NJ. C. A. OF these fatalities 35 were
due to disease, and the remainder to
shell-fre, bombs, gas-fever, drowning
and wounds. Ten of these were wom-
en-, one of whom was killed by shell
fire and the others in German air
raid.
There were also So non-fatal cas-
ualties. These were due principally
to machine gun Gre, shell fire, and mo-
tor transport accidents. Numerous
cases of slight wounds and castings
which were attended at dressing sta
tons, but were not reported to head
quarters, are not included.
These casualties occurred in force
which at no time exceeded 1900 work
ers, of whom it is reckoned that more
than one-half were never sent to the
front, being employed in the hundreds
of huts maintained throughout the
training areas and the '1eave areas"
Sixty-three "Y" workers were deco
rated, while in all more than 152 re-
ceived official recognition for distin-
guished service. Thirteen of these
were decorated with the Croix de
Guerre, while 4S received other deco
rations. OF these, three received the
Distinguished Service Cross, three
the Order Of st. Stanislaus, five the
Italian Cavaliere del Corona, 38 the
italian War Cross, and one the
French decoration of the Corps
d'Armee. Seven were cited for the
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1919-04-16

Croix de Guerre, and seven for other
decorations, six commended for merit
orious conduct, and twenty-nine re-
ceived honorable mention in dis
patches. Several units were cited in
their entirety, those serving with the
Third division being cited twice. More
than a score more reported decorations
have not yet been confirmed.
Not one of these men under thirty
was fit for military duty, but the cita-
lions show that they carried on with
the same courage and spirit that iden-
titled Americans throughout the war.
These records show that they went
over the top with the assaulting
waves, that they exposed themselves
under machine gun and shell fire to
minister to the wounded, that they
worked indefatigably as stretcher
bearers, and that they drove ambu-
lances into the midst Of battle to res
cue the wounded.

QUE STIONN ARR
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLExING PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Query.-The government has launched
an educational campaign to encourage
building in order to put more men to
work Would not a similar movement to
show how the old structures eau be best
and most economically repaired and made
good as new also help
Answer.-It is learned that such
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 a town, a city, a factory, a
dwelling or farm that does not reveal
a 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
1t costs to repair, the cost is less than
the cost of neglect No matter what
the cost Of paint, the wind and the
weather viii collect a higher bill in
deterioration and decay.

by DR.. William Kuckro, chemist of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. Many
years previous coating with paraffin
had been tried, but the application had
not entirely accomplished its purpose.
The new painting process, however,
proved a success. Disintegration was
halted and the damaged parts restor-
ed. New York breathed easily again.

Query.-What do you think of paint as
an investment, aside from the appearance
it lends? Does it really PAY to paint a
house regularly. say. every three or four
years7
Answer.-Good paint properly ap-
piled when needed is the main thing in
making house last long and well. A
house worth $500 can be painted at a
cost of about $125 In 60 years that
house will need about Is paintings,
the total cost of which will be $1,S95.
Left without paint, such house would
fall into complete ruin in 30 years. So
taking 60 years as basis for our fig
ures we find that with paint 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, $1,000 for
a home ready to fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay7 As the old
Dutch adage says:
