Thrift Stamps Poem

The following report of Thrift
Stamp activities in the rural districts
was prepared by Miss Genevieve Ken
ny, one of the teachers of the Porthill
schools, at the request of Mrs. Caroline
w. Flood, county superintendent of
schools:
Dear Children of the United States
Thrift Corporation:
only one letter has been received
todate so | am anxiously waiting the
receipt of others.
Il know we have all been busy pre-
pairing for Christmas and planning
holiday pleasures. After the holidays
we shall return to school with renewed
energy.
Il sincerely hope that you all are
having a pleasant vacation and that
the year 1920 will be the happiest and
most successful you have ever known.
i am sure we shall all form worthy
Ney Year resolutions. Let us re-
solve to be more thrifty, if possible, in
1920 than ever before. | trust | may
have the pleasure of receiving many
Thrift letters in the near future.
1.-The Copeland School District No. II
Miss Eva Stoneberg. teacher, has the
distinction of sending in the first re-
port. The following poem does credit
to both the teacher and the pupil:
For this Thrift Stamp poem
| shall have to make a rhyme:
| saved up all my pennies
And they soon became dime.
One day / took horse to water
And man gave me a quarter.
was going to give Mama lamp
But / traded it for new Thrift
Stamp.
l was paid by my brother for some
honey
And this is how / worked for my
Thrift Stamp money.

PAINT PROTECTION
AND IT'S ECONOMY.

The preservation OF structural ma
terlals, 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 a structure coated
with good oil paint This is due to
the fact that sheet Of rubber is not
so durable or as waterproof as q 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 II will beautify and
protect dollars worth of surface for
many years. This is low rate of in
surance.
Dwellings, barns, outbuildlngs. 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. Coiored paints win be
found the most seviceable, the coloring
matter in the paint adding from two
to three years to the life Of the coating.

T0rpen Located ut Fort I0Wnsend
Enoch Torpen, for the past year the
county club leader here, writes the
Herald this week that he is now To-
Gated at Port Townsend, Wash, the
countyseat of Jefferson county, of
which he is now the agricultural agent.
He writes in part: From what |
have seen of the county in the two
days | have been here / feel that
am going to like it fine. One of the
big drawing cards to me for the job
here is the climate in general. Hav-
ing lived most of my life in these parts
this climate is more natural to me.
During that cold period the thermom-
etor did not get below five degrees
above zero here and of late it has been
mild with the temperature about so
to 60 degrees. The fog is mostly ON
the eastern side of the Sound and be-
ing just east of the rather high Olym-
pic mountains we are spared the rain
you hear so much about. In fact, the
average rainfall here is in the neigh
borhood of 20 inches.
II am located just three hours by
boat from Seattle: Port Townsend it
self is a rather old town with a popu-
lation of about 1000
Il shall be glad to get the Herald
here for l have not lost interest in the
affairs of Boundary county and l want
to thank you for your cooperation in
the work in that county and hope the
newspapers here will be as fine"
