PLASTER Wall Board. During tne past ten
years Schumacher's Plaster Wall Board has
been used successfully by all contractors and
builders on the Coast, not only for walls and
ceilings but for siding as well. For this board
is nothing more or less than hlRn grade
plaster manufactured into sheets all ready to
nail right onto the studdings. ceilings. Jolsts,
over old plastered walls, papered walls
smooth walls and rough walls. Then when
YOU have put on Schumacher's PLAS-
TER wall board all you have have to do to
make it look exactly like plastered wall or
ceiling is to put little Schumacher's putty
in the cracks or seams between the panels,
then kalsomine, paint or finish with sand,
and zip-you have the best plastered wall or
ceiling you could ever hope for. Then you
have wall or ceiling that will NEVER
crack, fall off on the floors and furniture,
never warp, never burn. and house that
will be cool in the summer and warm in the
winter. You don't have to stop on the inside
either Just take Schumacher's PLASTER
wall board and nail it on the outside of your
studdings or over the boxing, paint it and
you have a fine looking building, freproof
building so far as the walls are concerned,
and cheaper building than you would secure
were you to use lath and plaster for the in
side and lumber for the outside.
In winters snow or summers heat. Schu-
macher's PLASTER wall board is the one
durable, permanent material for OUTSIDE
construction, because it is not affected by
climatic or atmospheric conditions. 1t is ab-
solutely weatherproof. Neither fog, rain,
sun or storm nor shock has the slightest
effect upon this material.

A NoN-PARTIsAN NEWSPAPER
The Curfew

The Curfew
The curfew is a huge joke
in Snowflake. The junve-
niles are supposed to be in
off the streets at a certain
hour in the evening, but
there is hardly ever a party
held that is not harrassed by
the usual gang of street
providers who run the streets
and create a nuisance reg
ularly.
Members of this gang go
thru the windows of our
public buildings whenever
they take the notion and
without any fear or hesita-
ton because they know
nothing will be done and
that if anything is done that
nothing will come of it.
The curfew ordinance had

done away with rather than
be hung up to public ridicule.
What are our officers for?
What is the city council do
ing? What's the use of ma
king a big spludge and star
ting a thing, then never put
it over? The curfew busi-
ness won't run itself with
someone merely ringing the
bell.
This rough neck gang
that runs the streets at
night is a public and private
nuisance-if they keep on
going at the rate they are
now the State may have a
bigger job and their parents
and town more chagrin. In
justice to the citizens of the
town and to the young peo-
pie themselves the curfew
ordinance should be done a.
way with or enforced be-
cause it is a stimulant to
crime as it is. You go have
some of these boys arrested
and it merely adds to the
joke of the whole situation.
They've been there before
and likely several times and
it means nothing.
They harrass our schools,
they disturb socials, they
destroy property and prac-
tice assault = and what is
ever done? Is it because

For nearly three years we have been
sufficiently large to enable us to buy straight
carload of SCHUMACHER'S PLASTER
WALL BOARD-the board that everybody
uses in California, and the board that is al
together different from anything you have
ever seen, unless you have seen Schumacher's
PLASTER Wall Board and board that
everybody here will be using just as soon as
they know what it is. When we tell you that
to get in a full carload of this board, an
investment of over 100000. besides
the freight amounting to over $5OOOO,
must be made, then you will understand why
we have been reluctant to buy carload of it,
even though we felt reasonably sure that our
customers wanted it and would buy it within
a areasonable time Because this board weighs
nearly three times as much as ordinary wall
board, and also because of the excessive
freight rates applying on local shipments
from the factory in Los Angeles to Holbrook,
it simply means the only way we could ever
handle the board successfully was to get it in
straight carload lots. You will better under
stand this when we tell you that it costs
around $40 90 per thousand square feet via
local shipments. as against little less than
$500 when shipped in full car lots. BUT
WE HAVE IT NOW, for last week big car,
containing forty tons was divided between
our Winslow and Holbrook yards And now
that we do have it we want you to know
more about this great PLASTER wall board
We want you to know what it will mean to
you if you have had-and the chances are
ten to one you have-trouble with your plas-
tered walls and ceilings; or what it means to
you if you desire to construct building at
the least PSssjee!ssr sqS throughout
the country have endeavored to find suit
able substitute for lath and plaster. The
lumber and building supply dealers have en-
couraged the manufacturers in their efforts,
because they knew better than any one else
excepting the man who was going to build
or who had already built, the difficulties
incident to getting good plastered walls and
ceilings especially ceilings. We do not
mean that all plastered walls and ceilings are
bad, for there are few exceptions How
ever. we do say that as general rule plas-
tered walls and ceilings may be expected to
give trouble sooner or later, regardless of
workmanship. Then again it has not always
been an easy matter to secure the services of
good plasterer right at the time he was
needed most. This applies especially in
cases where the builder is located in the
country. This condition might have existed
indefinitely but for an invention of man by
the name of Schumacher out in Los Angeles,

THE BIBLICAL 'TARE'
is FOUND IN LOWNDES

VALDOSTA, April 2G. - Corn
Cookie, or Lychnis githago, believed

is poisonous, especially the seeds.
The owner of the field infested is

The authorities on poisonous
plants L. H. Pammej, and John w.

suits have followed its use in bread
and feed, and while this the first
instance in which this plant has been
noticed locally, it can be eradicated
and kept out, as it is common only
in grain fields and then usually in
small quantities, the local infesta-
ton being heavier than usual.
