ESTIMATE OF LUMBER WASTE
Saved and Short Pieces Can Be
Used in Odd Places.

Don't forget TO estimate the waste
In buying your lumber for building
poultry house, barn or other structure
In figuring on common, sheathing add
one-tenth for waste, and one-fourth
for matched flooring and all kinds Of
siding. BY careful cutting you can
save much of the waste and there are
many places in building where the
short pieces can be used.
Don't buy too many nails. If you
do they are almost certain to be scat
tered around the place, especially If
there are children. Some specialists
in the United States Department Of
Agriculture prefer wire nails as they
are easier to use than cut nails, al
though the latter kind have greater
binding power. Use 10 to god nails
for framing; 8 to 10-d for sheathing
cd finish or casing nails for clap
boarding, and Sd for siding. Four
penny nails are ~ inches long, cd
are . inches. and Sd nails are 21a
inches. 1t takes about four pounds of
Sd nails to 1000 shingles; 1S pounds
of cd for 1000 square feet board
measure, Of beveled siding; 20 pounds
Of Sd. and % pounds Of 10-d for 1000
square feet of sheathing 30 pounds
of Sd for 1000 square feet Of floor
Ing, and Is pounds Of 10-d, or 25
pounds Of cod for 1000 feet of stud
ding.

SEE REAL LINCOLN
Photographs Reveal Much OF
Rugged Personality.
Present Generation Need Not, as In
the Case of Washington, Look
for Character in Portraits.

Abraham Lincoln remains, and will
:emain, one Of the most important
possessions of the common people
everywhere, partly because his rugged
personality is so difficult for either
writer's or sculptOrs to standardize.
Fortunate ii is for us that he lived
In an age Of photography-altho
no senstlzed plate can reveal the
entire mystery, the camera does not
lie. We are not compelled to floun-
der hopelessly, comparing different
portraits by different painters, as air
must who make the vain endeavor to
get before the eyes of their minds
what George Washington was like.
The Lincoln who looks out from
the pictures that have come down to
US was caught in moments for which
no sOlicitOus friends had the oppor-
tunity to see that his clothes were
pressed or that every stray lock of
hair was plastered down. And so
in his likeness we get something which
has the virtue Of being really ''like."
In the National capital there is
Greek temple of marble, In Potomac
park. 1t Is windowless, surrounded
by Doric columns, and is the Lincoln
memorial. But this temple does not
The Owosso times., 1922-02-10

suggest the great human figure, whose
acquaintance many have found.
Justice to the great who have passed
on is not the issue, since the present
need is justice to the living. The
armament Of human history is dotted
thick with guiding stars, but they are
oh, so very far away!
Heroes on pedestal serve the
present almost as little as ashes in
an urn. The trouble Is not that they
lacked human nature, but that those
who look for help are repelled by the
cold marble which has been placed
about them.
The greater lesson of Lincoln, the
man Of all the world, is that he Is a
magnificent illustration of what may
be found, IL only people will tear
away the husks with which the kernel
Of truth is surrounded. The wrap
pings meet the eye and discourage
the seeker, who must get beyond them
in order personally to discover the
spirit which gives life.
The tomb Is not the man. This Is
the key to the secrets of history.

FEEDING CATTLE IN SUMMER
Animals Have Seldom Been Marked
Down When Marketed Because
There ls Surplus.

The increase Of chores In summer
will operate against great increase
Of cattle feeding during the season of
field work, for the average farmer
does not care to feed cattle night and
morning in summer when tired out
with the long days work on the land.
But If one cares to investigate, he will
find that summer-fed cattle seldom
have to be marked down when mar
keted because there Is surplus of
stuff in the terminal markets.
The ideal ration is made up Of rich.
tender grass and grain. The feeding
period Is shortened and the gain per
hundred pounds Of grain is enhanced
as compared With dry-lot feeding in
winter. Counting all the factors in
the game, the risk In summer feeding
for market is far less than in winter.

familiarity with the work will make
possible speedy organization of the

The relief is provided for farmers
in the "crop failure area" for the
purchase of spring grown grain for
seed, which includes wheat, oats, bar
ley and flax. The area comprises
North Dakota, northwest counties of
South Dakota, Montana, several coun
ties in Idaho and Washington.
Droughts for a number Of years have
worked severe hardships with the
farmers of this region many of
whom have no seed and nc credit or
money with which to buy any for this
year. Since 1918 about 100000
of government money has been lent
in small loans, of which only $4,000
600 has been repaid. Each succeed
ing year has brought crop failure
and the farmers, it is said, are as
bad off now as they were when the
work of relief was first started.
Farmers desiring loans should
make application to their county
agent, to the director of extension
work in their respective States or
directly to the Seed Loan Office at
Grand Forks, North Dakota.

that attempted fraud was evident.
Yet Mr.. Blaine says the Legislature
refuses to open the door; they insist
on protection for the cheats and
frauds"
The Catlin amendment as passed
by the Legislature put all sorts Of
power in the hands of the taxing
officials, they made tax returns of in
dividuals and corporations open to
taxing officials, but the thing they did
not do was to throw your and
my business open to the eyes of the
lprying individuals who might
want to examine others returns for
what they could get out of them, and
the governor was so incensed that he
refused to allow the legislature to
help the taxing officials, and he has
vetoed the whole measure.
But just watch and see what Mr..
Blaine intends to do. He intends to
make this campaign issue with the
cry that corporations are getting
away with money which should be
turned over to the state as income tax,
putting up the cry of "cheat and
fraud" with the view of catching the
vote of the common people, but we
believe the voters can see the object
and will consider before they are
caught again with such cheap cam
paign argument. I

But just prior to the special ses-

was made public, Attorney General
Morgan informed the chief executive
that under the law he had full and
complete access to the tax returns,
and Mr.. Blaine now says he is con-
WINGED that the Attorney General is
correct.
The Legislature did everything in
their power to give the governor what
he desired to bring about, the stopping
of tax lodging. They appropriated
the sum of $4,000 for use by the Tax
Commission in employing special
auditors to go over the returns OF
corporations; they extended the time
for examining reports from three to
six years, and they made it possible

A "PULL" FOR VOTES

GOVERNOR Blaine has vetoed the
tax bill, just because it was not to his
liking, and by his veto has revealed
his motive for calling a special ses-

Taxpayers of Wisconsin more than
100000 to call that special session
just to give the Governor and his
crowd political issue for the coming

foreign matter getting into the well,
and this could be avoided with q
drilled well and pump.
We have been informed that a local
driller has agreed to offer the Park
board reduced price for we'll at
this park, and we believe the offer
should be accepted and good well
