A HOME IS AS YOUNG Oh
OLD AS IT LOOKS

You, personally. may be as old
as you feel. But not your home!
Your home Is as young or old a. 1t
looks. And the younger 1t looks,
the more pleasant and comfortable
It 10. The more homelike It 10!
"Yet," you say, II must take my
home the way It Is. Whatever Ito
SHORTCOMINGS, cannot change 1t.
i cannot afford TO-" On the CON-
trary. you cannot afford not to.
Because the cost Of bringing your
home up to date, of giving back It's
lost youth, Is much, much lower
than you could ever imagine. To-
day. with the prices OF materials
and labor down to bedrock, you
can have remodeling done for the
proverbial pittance.
IL you do not believe this to. be
true, ask your contractor to look
your home over and furnish you
with plans and an estimate on the
reinodellng that Is needed. He will
gladly give you such service
WITHOUT any charge or 0Diigatt0n
to you; and you will realize, per-
faps for the first time, how easy
and economical IL Ia to remodel
your home. You will realize, too,
that you can increase tho value of
your homo far out OF proportion
TO the cost OF modernisation.
Help Make Home Brighter
More important, however, is to
think OF home remodeling In terms
'of convenience, health, pride. do
1mestic happiness. Improvement
in the home can do something to
make every member Of the fam.
sly more comfortable, more con-
|tent. Bright surroundings can
make all Of life a little brighter.
Then closets! Just think what a
dew dollars will do for them. You
'can have shelves or drawers built

changes which will save countless

to carry off this water before II

FUNNY POLITICAL YARNS

His honor the mayor was seeking reelection

The mayor sat in his Office one morning
shortly before election. The door opened and
a woman came in, unannounced.
She uttered not a word. She just raised 8
pistol and shot it at the mayor.
She fed before knowing that the bullet had
missed him. It did pierce the back Of his
chair.
One other person had been in the ofhce-of

evidenced by the fact that an ammunition box
was used to bury the Unknown Soldier instead
of coffin. If the hospital authorities were
not pressed for time they certainly would have
waited until a coffin could have been obtained.
This hero lay in his grave without public
recognition for many years. 1t was not until
1928 that he was discovered, after having been
inferred for some so years. One hundred and
one years later, however he was honored.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Josiah Van
Orsdel, president of the National Society OF

movement was begun to erect a permanent
monument in his memory. Money was con-
tributed by children from all parts of the
United States In April, 1929. the monument
was completed and the late Secretary OF War,
James w Good. delivered the dedicatory
address.
The grave was marked on February o. 1928,

see her again. She found the letter IN the
waste paper basket by the desk where she

out reading. Never again would she attempt to
be something she wasn't: No disgrace to go

As she pulled of her clothes and threw
them in an angry heap on chair, her eyes
still flashing fire, she stormed to herself, And
I despise first-class passengers!"
Next morning she was glad she was sched-

turned her face to the wall and tried to get
another half hours sleep, but it was as hope
less now as it had been since she first pressed
her sobbing head into the cool pillow. Be-

Il won't cry any more. So I'm good enough
