DAINTINC is really fascinating
work. Once you are started
you'll probably not want to stop
until you have refnished many things
you did not intend to do at first.
Of course there are some simple
directions that must be followed if
the work is to be successful, for we
have a special "Kome Service Paint
Department" which was organized jus:
to tell you how to paint.
Perhaps some of your furniture,
floors, woodwork or walls are begin
ming to look little old--just on the
surface. Pick out one or two things
to refnish. Tell us about them and
how you want them to look when
finished.
Our experts will tell you what
materials to use, how to do the work
step by step, what brushes you'll need,
and everything about it.
For 73 years we have been making
paints, varnishes, enamels, wall fin

who was fatally injured when she
d jumped from a speeding car driven by
one of the young men last Saturday.
Two other girls, Delphia Evans, sis
bell also jumped from the car, but
were only slightly injured. The girls
charged the three boys with having
attempted to assault them. The two
sisters and the Campbell girl had been
employed in Tulsa during the sum-
mer and had returned to Kiefer to
attend school. Upon their arrival
g here they were invited to ride to the
home of the sisters uncle, and on the
way the boys are said to have become
unduly familiar. When the boys re-
fused to stop the car, according to the
girls story, they tore themselves loose
from the embraces of the boys and
jumped out, Cecilia Evans sustaining
Injuries in the fall which caused her
death.

proacll the geographical center Of the
country. St. Louis. Denver, and other
cities have been mentioned at various
times as more fitting sites for the CEN
ter of government. The Geological
survey OF the interior department has
fixed the approximate locations of the
geographical, centerS of each state,
some of which are as follows:
Arkansas, Pulaski county, IL miles
northwest of Little Rock.
Colorado. Park county. 30 miles
northwest of Pixies Peak.
Illinois, Logan county, 20 miles

Indiana, Boone county. IA miles

Missouri, Miller county, 20 miles

Montana, Fergus county. IL miles
west of Lewiston.
Nebraska. Custer county, To- miles
northwest of Broken Bow.
Oklahoma, Oklahoma county,
miles north Of Oklahoma City.
Wyoming, Fremont county, 5S miles
east-northeast OF Lander.
The geographic center of Alaska Is
difficult to determine. for the outline
OF the territory is very irregular, but
If the outlying islands are included in
the determination it is not far from a
point miles south of Fort Gibbons,
in latitude 60 degrees As minutes,
longitude 1872 degrees 20 minutes.
Based on previous reports, the old
town of Reamsville. located in the
northern part of Smith county, has
laid claim to being the center of the
United states. A farmer. near there
claims the honor, and has a sign on
his house to let passersby known they
are in the most central spot in the
country. Reamsville has never had
a railroad. but it Is not far from Smith
Center which is served by the Rock
Island.

Washington, sept .5-Boston.
Mass, is a very important place to
a great many people, but so far as the
United States Geological Survey is
concerned, Boston as a "hub" as it
claims to be-, doesn't amount to row
OF pins. Boston, too. prides itself on
being the hub of the universe but
the Survey ranks 1t at the bottom Of
the list of hubs. or centers.
For the Geological Survey thinks
that a city is a hub only when it is
the center of the land, geographically
speaking, and points the finger of
scorn at the Massachusetts city for
not even being the center of the state
Of which 1t happens to be the capital
less of any universe
The Survey has received a lot of
letters of inquiry from persons want
ing to know where they're at where
the geographical center of the United
States is, or the center of their own
state. The Survey has taken great
graphical centers around the CONT
nent. r

The ideal hub of population,
government and industry should also
be the geographical center, the Sur
vey believes. but that is true in few,
if any, cases. Hubs just grow up

An Sc is the highest score that will
enter the 1922 city golf championship.
This was shown at the end of the
qualifying rounds today when the best
80 cards included nine S6's with the
chance that only five in this class will
be able to enter.
AItho the qualifying rounds were
supposed to have ended last night,
another day was added that Harlow

and Frank GHiggS. 1922 Country club
championship runnerup, could play
for a place on the city crown event.
No city championship would be
complete nor would it include the
Icity's stars If Griggs and Hurley were
not in the tournament. Hurley was
unable to qualify Saturday on account
of his match with Ilif Felix in the
Country club semi-finals. Then

It is conceded that Hurley and

Fifty-four couples entered the field
of contestants-the largest men-and-

cal golf.
The hills and ravines, frightened
from a summer drouth by q heavy
Saturday night rain, were an ideal
setting for the 1oS golfers and golf
crosses that played from s o'clock in
the morning until 1880 o'clock in the
afternoon.
1t was a distinct tribute to the sea-
sons efforts of Mrs. w. D. Updegraff,
women's chairman, and E. A. THRILL
chairman of the golf committee. The
pairings were fair and most satisfac-
tory-not a man went the eighteen
holes with his wife. (Beg pardon!)
The low score for the day was a tie
between DR.. George H. Allen who
played with Mrs. Arthur j. Carruth.
Jr., and Monte Kistler who played
with Miss Betty Frost. Each couple
made a 49-4796 which is really as
good golf as a majority of the men of
