QUESTIONABLE
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLExINo 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 similar movement to
show how the old structures can be best
and most economically repaired and made
good ~ new also help?
Answer.-It Is learned that such q
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 r.
strictions are now of, and there ID
scarcely a town, city, a factory, Z
dwelling or farm that does not reveal
crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action en-
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That 10 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 will collect q higher bill In
deterioration and decay.

EFFECT OF COLOR UPON ThR
DURABILITY OF PAINT.

: Property owners who may have I'm.
der consideration the painting Of
dwellings and other structures should
remember that more durable results
are obtained when tinted paints are
used. Permanent coloring materials
which have been ground by machine
into a high grade white paint base
have the effect Of preventing "chalk.

which are often observed when white
paints are used.

Old paint in that condition is best used
on fence, brickwork or tinwork. If

Query.-What do you think Of paint as
an Investment. aside from the appearance
1t lends7 Does 1t 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 SIPS. In 90 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 80 years. So
taking go years as q basis for our fig
ures We find that with paint q 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 pay1 AS the old

PRETTY COLOR COMBINATIONS.
The Delta independent., 1919-01-31

can secure free information by writing
to Washington for it.
There are many reasons why trees
are most appropriate memorials to
Americas soldier and sailor dead, as
well as to the living.
The tree is living growing thing,
just as the principals which America
entered the war to defined. 1t stands
for freedom.
| And the tree played an important
part in the winning of the war. In
thousand ways 1t was called into
service. In aeroplanes and gun stocks,
barracks and trenches, piers and rail-
road ties and in many other places 1t
was demanded in immense quantities.
The forests of France were largely
sacrifices to the needs of the war.
Thousands of square miles of her for
est land over which the Germans ad-
vanced were devastated by gun and
shell fire or the trees cut down by
the enemy. Anything, therefore, look
ing to reforestation of the world is
most fitting. 1t means a rebuilding of
some of the natural resources which
have been lost through ravages of
war.
Frank William Rane, state forester
of Massachusetts says: "Do not stop
with single tree or small groups;
why not have memorial forests plant
ed in honor of our soldier dead?" GER
tainly there would be nothing finer
than a grove or entire park full of
trees which might be known as Lib
erty Park" or some other appropriate
name.
Governor Goodrich of Indiana, is
strongly in favor of the plan The
state proposes to let each of the 80
counties decide the size OF it's own
grove to the memory of their boys.
Representative from these counties
will be urged to form a state organiz-
alton, appoint an executive committee
and with the assistance OF tree ex-
perts carry out this scheme.
"And now. no matter in what other
forms we commemorate the manhood
that has gone. for our protection let
us plant memorial trees"
This sums up the message which
the American Forestry Association
would convey to every place in the
United States from which have gone
brave and loyal boys to take part in
the great war.

A STURDY TREE MONUMENT FOR
YANkS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
By Charles Lathrop Pack

| BY CndrleS LaUnrOp rack
Pres American Forestry Association
The Independent presents the idea
to Delta County citizens, Offering an
opportunity of honoring our boys.
In what way shall we honor the
memory of the brave American sol
diers who gave their lives for liberty!
That is the question which every
community in the United States has
asked itself
| 1t is certain that their sacrifice on
the altar of freedom is worthy of the
finest tribute that can be paid them.
This should include also the men who
Offered their lives in their country's
service whether it meant the supreme
sacrifice for them or not. They too
are deserving of the nations gratitude
What nobler. more inspiring, more
appropriate memorial can be erected
to these men than the living growing
tree? 1t will stand there and as it
develops, keeps fresh in the minds of
the present and coming generations

heroes performed on land and sea in

justice might be firmly established
here and throughout the world
On this account the American For
estry Association suggests the plant
ing of trees in parks, along the streets
and highways and at other appropriate
places as living monuments to our
heroes.
There are few communities in the
United States that did not lose one or
more of its sons in the great conflict
which has just concluded. There will
be memorials of different kinds bronze
tablets, stone markers, arches and
other forms, dedicated to their SER
vice. This need not preclude the plant
ing of trees No matter what other
kind of memorial is set up, there can
be trees planted also.
This suggestion has already receiv-
ed the hearty Endorsement of govern
ors of states throughout the country.
of the state foresters, civic and pat
riotic organizations, women's clubs
and other associations. In few plac-
es trees already have been planted in
accordance with the idea.
AT Tacony, Pa, four trees have been
planted on the lawn of the Episcopal
church of the Holy Innocents. Two
of the towns men thus honored, were
killed in action in France, while the
others died in hospitals close behin1
the battle lines.
The Delta independent., 1919-01-31

Relatives and friends of the Tacony
heroes participated in the ceremony
which included singing by the choir
and brief address by the rector, Rev.
Robt. e. Edwards.
Here is what two state governors
and other officials say of the plan.
Governor Lowden of Illinois. says:
81 am heartily in sympathy with the
general idea, which / have taken up
with the superintendent of highways
of our state
Governor Capper of Kansas says:
"It is most appropriate feel, that we
should have living memorials for our
soldier dead, whose deeds will live for
all time"
Former president Taft said: "One
fitting and appropriate memorial to
our soldier dead would be rows of
fine trees planted along the great

They will stand there for many gen.
erations to come and keep fresh in.

heroic deeds of those young Ameri-
cans who gave their lives that free

Rows of beautiful trees will add
not only to the beauty and attractive
ness Of our highways but will be an
actual support to them, helping to
hold the ground firm and keeping 1t
from washing. As the construction of
good roads will be one OF the big re-
construction problems which the ma
ton will have to solve. anything that
will help in this direction should be
encouraged
On all the roads leading out from
