"The Establishment of the Ameri-

faith in tie future prosperity of
the section and Southwest Georgia.
Through the sale Of farm units
by the farm sales department, the
cndeayor is being made to show
that even in hard farming years
the farming business can be made
to pay and the farmer remain pros
porous. This department is push
ing the sale of land to good men
with small amounts of money or
security.
"The farm sales department not
| only acts as a selling organiza-
ton but also a developing agency
and is enabled to so improve and
sub-divide the farms owned by the
Atlanta Trust company that the
purchasers will not have dollar
to spend in the way Of improve
ments after purchase is made"
MIR. Crockett continued.
"A great deal of money has re-
Gently been spent by the company"
said Mr. Crockett, Gin arousing the
interest of farmers outside the
state; farmers from the corn and
wheat belts, and from Wisconsin,
the Dairy State, and several sales
have been perfected recently. In.
quiries are being received from
farmers all over the country seek

tiles in Georgia and especially
Southwest Georgia.
THE farm sale, department re-
ports that during the past ten days
purchases have been made by the
Trust company of tracts of excel

Mr. Crockett stated that in spite

.. URR|NG Of MASONRY
PREVENTS DAMPNESS
Haterproofng Paints Help Con-
siderably in Keeping Out
Moisture.

In regions subject to low tempera-
Ire, high winds, heavy rains or ex-
reme humidity of considerable dura-
on furring of solid masonry exterior
"alls is practically a necessity to
void unwholcsome living conditions
aused by damp walls, also the dam
;er OF running wall decorations.
In arid localities, where low tenn
1eratures are infrequent, furring may
ie omitted without serious results,
hut should be used wherever economy
in construction cost is a secondary
consideration.
FurrinE Lessons Heat.
Waterproofng paints or compounds
applied to the interior of solid ma
sonry walls helps considerably to pre-
vent moisture penetration. but have
little effect in preventing condensa-
i!on, and make it difficult to bind
plaster directly to such treated walls.
Eurring is somewhat less necessary
on masonry exterior walls of hollow
units, since the inclosed air cells
help to check transmission OF heat
and moisture. However. mortar joints
running through the wall are found
70 conduct moisture readily when
poorly or incompletely made, and
walls having such continuous joints
require furring.
F'urriug a masonry wall lessons it's
heat conductivity. thus saving fuel,
which saving. OF course. continues
throughout the life of the structure
and may repay many times over the
increased cost of furring.
Since hollow walls are good heat in
Sulators. il has been found in many
places that furring may be omitted
End plaster applied directly TO the IN
terror Of walls which are built with
continuous hollow space. or III which

In concrete house construction pro

found effective and this requirement

Roofs, Like Umbrellas, Must
Be Built Right to Shed Rain

color. texture and generally superior
appearances Of overlapping units make
these coverings more desirable for
pitched roofs-those which can be easily
seen.
The simplest kind Of pitched roof is
one which slopes both ways from
ridge. This is called a gable roof be-
cause of the gables thus formed at each
end of the house. II the roof pitches up
from all four sides you have a "hip''
roof. II the house plan is a combination
the planes Of the roof come into contact
with each other at one or more places to
mako q valley. Valleys are the most
vulnerable places Of all In a roof. This
is true because the roof covering must
be broken to make the angle. There is
more water in the valley than elsewhere
on the roof surfaces. Snow and ice lie
in this intersection. Any break in the
roof plane increases the difficulty of
making the roof absolutely watertight
Wherever the roof is broken with a dor
mer window or a chimney stack or
vent-ptpe there is place for water TO
work down into the house.
Covering Intersection.
This problem can be solved by cover
ing the intersections with sheets of
metal This is called flashing. II flash
ing is TO be effective it must run well
under the roof covering and up the wall
OF the chimney so water cannot get be-

shingles. Roofs covered with asphalt
and felt composition shingles may be

There is nothing more expensive
about a house than a cheap roof. A
roof Is very much like an umbrella. II
may be very decorative, but it is not
good unless 1t sheds the rain. And II
cannot be really serviceable unless II
remains in good condition for a long
time.
Primarily a roof is the protection that
we put over the house to keep off the
clements. and it must be especially de-
signed to carry off water. This means
that the surfaces have to be inclined
or as we say, pitched" The pitch Is
a very important matter, for the sleeper
the roof the more quickly 1t will clear
itself Of water. which is just another
way Of saying that fewer leaks will de-
velop.
For example, q roof covered with
shingles that is not steep enough will
soon become wet all through. Water
will be carried up between the shingles
and through the roof covering. and sc
ter OF fact, any kind of roof that is
made Of overlapping units such as slate,
tile or shingles. of wood. cement, as
bestos or asphalt, should be pitched at
least so per cent.
No Chance for Creep Back.
If the roof is covered with sheet metal
like tin or copper. or with layers of felt
set in hot tar. it does not have to be
steep, for water runs off this kind of
material very quickly. In any event
there is no chance for it to creep back
underneath the roofing. These mate
rails are therefore especially valuable
for fiat roofs. On the other hand the

USE OF PAINT SHOWS BIG
INCREASE IN LATE YEARS
Figures Indicate the Public Has
Learned Value of
Conservation.

The total use Of paint and varnish
at wholesale prices for every nan.
woman, and child in the United States
follows. In 1860 it was less than
20 cents each year; by 1870 1t had
more than doubled TO 55 cents per
year; in 1880 there was but q slight
increase to so cents; in 1890 the con-
sumption per capita jumped to S5
cents; In 1900 to 90 cents: 1910 to
$1.35; in 1918 1t reached s1.60 per cap
ita: and in 1920. $3.90. In spite Of a
business depression in 1921 and a de-
cided decline In the. price Of paint.
the paint and varnish consumption
in dollars and cents in 1921 remained
about equal to the 1920 figure. while
the gallonage and tonnage increased.
Even hard times cannot interfere with
the rapid growth in the amount Of
paint each man, woman and child
uses each year. and the 1929 figures
SO far smash all previous records.
These figures apply to the whole
paint industry and the portion of the
1921 figure that passes through retail
stated In the opening paragraph.
There are many forces at work
which tend to increase the per cap
tta paint consumption. First Of all
there is a greater appreciation on the
part of the general public Of the need
of conservation. With a decreasing
lumber supply. high repair ana re-
placement costs, people have found it

WHITE SLAVE CASE WAS
DISMISSED, COUPLE FINEI

An interesting bit of news has
come out of Carson City recently
which has heretofore been unpub-
lished. 1t will be remembered that
several months ago railroader
named 7. o. Gorham and his
wife" Fay Gorham, waitress,
were arrested in this city on a
charge of violating the federal
white slave law. They were also
accused of violating the anti-pass
law, Gorham being charged with il
legally securing and using a pass
for two from Fort Worth to Los
Angeles.
1t has been learned that at a re-
cent session of the federal court in
Carson City the couple pleaded
guilty to violating the anti-pass
law and We're fined $3.50 each.
They also acknowledged guilt in
violating the white slave law, but
as there was no aggravated circum-
stance in this connection the charge
was dismissed.
The Gorhams said they had come
to Winnemucca and Nevada for the
purpose of securing divorces.
