HOME DECORATING
The SENTIMENTAL
Sentimental Value illustrated
What Sentiment Means in
the Home.
Article No. 6.

We shall discuss in this article the
sentimental value of home decorat.
ing.
To illustrate just what is meant by
the sentimental value will perhaps
give clear idea. Suppose your son
or daughter had painted picture
and you take it to an authority to in
quire as to it's value II this judge is
an artist or dealer he will use little.
| diplomacy and ask who painted 1t, be-
| cause he knows we'll that you value 1t
| far beyond its art or commercial
worth. You have given it the senti-
mental value. 1t means more to you
than it does to buyer or collector.
Into home decoration the sentimental
enters rather disportionately large.
There should be strong sentiment
tai value to every home and to its con-
deavor to place upon this value it's
true worth. Sentiment starts at the
very beginning of the building of the
house. You planned this line, that
window or the fireplace together. Then
the furnishings, that chair was grand
mothers, this one was mothers and
SO on through the house, pictures,
bric-abrac, etc. some of which have
decorative value If placed in the right
scheme.
| What the decorator asks is that you
| have courage enough not to be car
| rled away with fads which insist that
you ruthlessly destroy, or arbitrarily
keep these things of sentiment but to
put them in the room where they best
conform in design, color and purpose.
If they are bad, positively bad, really
| wickedly bad, then put them in the
furnace.

has the largest crop of any state.
In the eastern states phenomenal
increases are shown in some in
stances. New York increased by so

times last years, having increased
from 221, 900 barrels in 1921 to 1,216,

54,862,0OO in 1921 and 41,665,OOO in

whole is estimated at S1S,472,0O0

Figures Are Lower.
In fact the August farm price OF
wheat for the country as whole was
1871 cents per bushel this year as com.
farm price in 1921. Even today the
farmer with high yield Of wheat per
acre provided he has not gone to ex-
cessive costs in its production, is bet
ter off than the one with low yield
per acre. The same holds true for
the farmer with good COWS and good
laying flock as compared with the
farmer with poor COWS and a poor
flock
This is fully realized by the major
ity of farmers and that is why so
many of them constantly are striving
to improve upon the quality of their
farming operations by using better
seed, the best varieties, good pure

Times Out Of Joint.
Yes, the times are out of joint for
agriculture today and in the ups and
downs" of the farm business certainly
the downs" are here with ven
geance. However, 1t cannot long re-
main so and our country still endure
Is 1t not both good judgment and good
policy, therefore, to believe that we
in agriculture must soon be at the
turn of the road and that farming
must and will have it's innings at no
great distant future? Already this
would seem to be the case for the
sheep men, many Of whom have made
wonderful recovery in their business
since little more than year ago.
This also seems to have been true
of the producers of hogs and to some
extent of the beef man. Is 1t too
much to hope, therefore, that 1t will
also come true for farming in general
and that those who today can hang
on, who have learned how to reduce
expenses through good management
who are able to increase their acre
yields and their production per ami
NAL without increasing costs unduly
and who give the most careful atten-

will come out at the top and will

HIGH SALARIED STARS
RAISE THEATER PRICES.

New York, jan 5.-The motion
picture star has given the owners
of movie theatres something to worry
about, for it is this astral, parsonage,
and he or she alone, that has sent
the price of motion pictures soar
ing far above the financial heights to
which theatre owners say they can
reach.
The salaries these stars receive are
wholly out OF proportion to box office
receipts, according to William
Brandt, President of the Theatre
Owners Chamber of Commerce, who
spoke at a meeting of that body in
the Hotel Astor yesterday.
Almost everything concerned in the
making of motion pictures, from the
salaries of extras, carpenters and
/ Laboratory men to the price of raw
films, has been reduced except the
salaries of stars, said Mr.. Brandt. AS
Ia member of a committee recently ap-
pointed to investigate the reason for
the excessive" cost of productions,
The learned, he said, that pictures
could be considerably reduced if the
stars would accept less money. He be-
lieved that if the producers would in
form them that theatre receipts were
out of proportion to their pay that
they would accept less money.
Mary Miles Minter receives 100000

In the spring OF 1898 the trustees
granted diplomas to five young won.

were the first graduates Of the acai-

Pescham academy had served as col

ough course, as the Dartmouth faculty
for years were glad TO testify.
One may read in his biography that
about the year 1912 Wilbur Fisk,
founder and first president OF Wesleyan
university, who repeatedly refused III.
Office OF bishop of his church, was so
well prepared at Peacham that he en-
tered college as a sophomore. At about

The "bad record" of motor vehicle

addition of the triple fatality at a
grade crossing of the Grand Trunk
railroad at Stanhope, p. Q.Norton
Mills, VT, when three Island Pond
people lost their lives. Judging from
the evidence brought out in the in
quest, held under Canadian government
auspices, no blame whatever attaches
to the operators of the train as the
usual warning signals for crossing
were given. Whatever blame there is
goes to the driver of the motor We

grade crossings to remain and to be

THE ABILITY TO SWIM.

The drowning of boy at Chelsea,
Of another at Bethel, and of third at
Lyndon Corner starts the summer sea
son in Vermont gloomily and ought 10
cause every parent to make a vow
that his child will learn to swim at
the first opportunity, even ii soms
other things have TO be sacrificed or
put aside. While not amphibious crca
lures, small boys cannot be kept from
going into the brooks, rivers and ponds
under seasonable weather conditions
and the best way to meet the situation
is to teach them to swim, either under
the instruction of the parents or I'M
der the direction of hired Instructor.
Once possessed of the ability to keep
ahoat and swim little, they are
equipped to meet many an emergency,
which, under other conditions, would
have sad results. BY all means let
your boy 60 in bathing but first make
sure that he can swim OF that he is
accompanied by some competent per-
son to look after him till he can learn
to swim.
