To Discuss Mineral Future of
Boone County Before
Business Men.

resources Of Boone County made by the
Commercial Club, there are l72 square
miles in the county underlaid by coal,

all right when broken into small Jumps
Not quite half Of the county has coal
bearing rock There are three workable
beds Of this coal. The upper bed is
about eighteen inches thick; the middle
is from three to four feet thick and
about fifty feet below the upper bed; and
the lower bed is about eighteen inches
thick and about twenty feet below the
middle bed. The middle bed is the only
one now being mined to any extent in
Boone County, according TO the survey
Of the Commercial Club. which adds that
the possibilities for the extensive develop
meni Of the great virgin coal beds are
unusually good, particularly in the Har-
Iisburg district.

men the unlimited possibilities in the

GIVE PLENTY OF VEGETABLES
Material Furnished to Growing Child
for Forming Bone and Tissue
Mild Acids Helpful.

Vegetables and fruits are now con-
sidered a necessary part Of the diet
Of the child. The reasons are many.
but most Of them may be summed I'D
by saying that they furnish material
needed to form bone and tissue and
70 regulate body processes. The mild
acids which some Of them contain help
to prevent constipation; so. too. does
the cellulose or fiber. especially when
it is raw. though It's value for this pur-
pose may have been exaggerated in
popular literature.
Green vegetables are also a valuable
means Of introducing into the diet
mineral matters. particularly iron. in
form in which the body can utilize
them. Even at city prices green vege-
tables have been shown to be an
economical source Of iron. Leaf vege-
tables. Ike spinach. beet greens. kale.
etc. have recently been found 10 con
tain some Of the growth-promoting
substances that are found in milk.

HIS "HUNCH" WAS CORRECT
Actors Assertion That Someone in the
Audience Had Bottle Quickly
Proved True.

A Peculiar incident happened in a
ocal theater, which provided enough
comedy to make the performance very
amusing. In one of the acts, prohibit
ton was made the butt of all the ac-
tors jokes, and he happened to be one
OF those fellows who makes reference
to the audience.
Where is that bOttle?" he shouted
at the audience. Someone in the
house has bottle, with the cork Off"
Hardly had the laughter subsidized
when there was "plunl," as a bottle
dropped accidentally from the grasp
Of someone down in front. It happened
just at the oppOrtune moment and the
house went into rOars of laughter.
Whoever dropped it made no attempt
to reclaim 1t, even though the bottle
might have contained anything from
milk to medicine. But the N. A. T.
has been told by someone who was
close to the sound that some time after
he saw woman slowly making an at
tempt to reach for the fallen wet

Reds and Art.

The Russian Reds are guilty of much
rough work, but it appears that they
do sometimes know and reverence the
treasures of art. The famous Her.
mitage gallery in Petrograd has been
reopened and again all the paintings
it once contained, except a few unim.
portant ones, are hung. In this collec.
ton are great masterpieces bearing the
names of Titan, Van Dyck, Rem.
brandt, Velasquez and MurilIo. The
Bolsheviki removed the paintings to
Moscow in the spring of 1918 when it
was feared the Germans would capture
Petrograd, and the priceless paintings
We're placed in the hands of a commit
tee at the head of which is the novel
list, Maxim Gorky. Private collections
which the owners turned over to the
Gorky committee are also safe.

FAVOR PLASTER FOR
FARM KITCHEN WALL
Most Common and Generally Sat-
iSfact0ry Material.
Mortar Must Be Properly Mixed and
Applied TO Prevent Development of
Cracks and 8listers-Light
Colors Are Best.

I prepared BY the United States Depart.
ment OF Agricultural
The cOmmonest and most generally
satisfactory material for the walls and
ceiling OF the farm kitchen is plaster.
The mortar must be properly mixed
and applied 10 prevent the development
OF cracks and blisterS and injury TO
the surface finish. For the same rea-
son freshly plastered walls should
be allowed 10 dry thoroughly before
the finishing surface Is applied. In
stead Of plaster. some of the compost
ton boards that DO not warp may be
used They may be painted or papered
and v3rnished, but before this is done
nail holes should be filed with plastic
filler made for the purpose. Steel
wall and ceiling coverings are durable
when they are kept well painted to
prevent rusting by steam. Tile and
yitrified brick. well glazed and
matched. afford an excellent wall sur
face, but they are costly. Metal tiles
are cheaper and nearly as satisfactory.
The most desirable finish for walls
and ceiling is one that will not peel
or crack and can be easily washed
or very cheaply and readily renewed
A good oil paint gives general salts
faction; 1t can be brushed off with a
dry wall brush or cleaned more thor
Oughly with a damp cloth and mild
soap. Wall paper. unless vanished,
is very easily loOsened by the steam
from cooking. A wall covering re-
sembling oilcloth is somewhat more
expensive. but it is more durable, and
has a smooth washable surface. Wa
ter must be used very sparingly on a
wall covering Of this kind, for If it
seeps in the seams the wall covering |
will become lOosened.
The best color or tint for the kitchen |
walls Is determined by the location and |
lighting Of the room, say household |
specialists Of the United States De
'artment of Agriculture. Light colors
ire preferable for dark rooms because
hey reflect and diffuse the light into
iarker parts Of the room, while dark
.olors absorb much larger proportion
Il the light. Where the principal ex-
,osure is toward the south, greenish
rays are desirable, but if toward the
lOrth or east, with little opportunity
or sunshine, the light yellows or
reams are better. Two shades of
rown often give a satisfactory finish.
