We're Not So Sure

1t is said that Republican leaders
declare that the oil scandal will make
no difference in the voting in Novem
ber, that nobody with any intelligence
is going to blame their party with the
mess But the Democrats are not so
sure S5O;.t that. The common people
have a way Of often doing the oppo-
site of what political experts have it
figured out that they. should do.
For it seems that the Teapot Dome
mess is Republican by birth and breed
ing. With McAdoo given a clean bill
of health by investigators, there is not
soul connected with it that is
Democrat except DOheny, and he is
evidently a hyphenated Democrat. For
IL has come out that, although he vot-
ed the Democratic ticket in the last
election, he contributed a big sum,
some say as much as $4,000 to the
Republican campaign fund. So there
you are.
Nobody with intelligence will say
that the platform or principles of the
Republican party caused this group of
men, and their number is growing
daily, who are involved in this scandal,
to become corrupt. But the fact that
they are Republicans, without excep-
ton, will naturally be remembered by
the mass of honest people in the U. S.
Sharp County Record.

Theory of Decline in Values
Refuted by Many Sales.

The best refutation of the theory that
real estate values in Washington are
declining or going to decline, according

SIMPLE RULES GIVEN
| FOR PAINTING HOMES
Experience Has Demonstrated
Value Of Observing Them,
Manufacturers Declare.

Half of the success in painting is to
be found in doing the job properly.
There are given below few plain in
structions which experience has dem
onstrated are worth observing.
OIL and water will not mix; there
fore. do not paint the house in damp.
foggy or frosty weather, as under
these conditions the pores of the wood
are filled with moisture which ma
turally prevents the oil from pene-
trating the wood and obtaining a
peel.
1t is unwise to paint in extremely
hot or cold weather. In cold weather
paint will shrivel up in drying. In
hot weather it is apt to form in drops
or tears.
dirty surfaces Soft coal smoke, for
instance. produces a surface upon
which paint win not hold. Dirty ani
greasy surfaces should first be wash
ed off with soap and water.
Wait Until Plaster Dries.
Do not prime or apply any paint
until new plastering is thoroughly
dried out.
1t is not economy to be satisfied
with merely two coats of paint when
applying 1t upon new woodwork.
Always use two coats over a priming
coat.
In repainting an old hous, con-
siderable judgment should be used
in adapting the paint to the condition
of the surface.
Paint manufacturers declare expert
ments show that 80 per cent of peel
ing on old Jobs show that the new
paint has pulled off old, loosely at
tached paint. Therefore, old paint
should be removed carefully.
Dark shades OF paint cover or hide
old coats better than do light coats
Consequently one coat of DARK paint
is oftimes apparently satisfactory
and the application of a second or
third coat Is postponed. Frequently
after a short time the pains appar-
emily fades. This is not actually
the case, as the paint is still there
but owing to the disappearance OF
the linseed oil. parts of which have
been absorbed by the wood. an ex-
cess quantity of the pigment, whic,,
always is dull in appearance, re-
mains on the surface. Therefore, il
possible. two or three coats should
be used always Never put on a coat
of paint until the coat preceding il
Is thoroughly dry. At least a week
should be allowed between coats.
