It's Not Dinosaur Egg.

saur egg, but w. S. Lane, poultry
farmer, swears the monstrous pei

Clarkston-In anticipation of the

eliminating 20 employees Of the 10
stores opened in II cities since

Fruit Trees . Good Bot

Some years ago so many orchards
were planted that there was an over
abundance, but this condition prom
ises to be greatly changed In the flu
ture. Many orchards have been al
lowed to die out and the time Is COM
ing when fruit will be In much better
demand. As 1t Is too late to start an
orchard after the demand has come,
it Is wise plan to invest little in
this form of land improvement. The
trees cost so little that this does not
have to prevent anybody from hav-
ing an orchard, or at least few
select trees. The United States Is
especially blessed because fruit Of
some sort can be grown in every
state. We should appreciate this
fact all the more when we remember
that in many countries fruit Is such
luxury that 1t Is beyond the reach
of average people.-Pathfinder Maya

Britain Would Buy Island?
Possession Of Sleepy Little Tmor Said Be Needed by

The British government is report
ed by news dispatch from London
to be interested in Timor island Of
the East Indies as a possible sea and

the Europe-Australia air route.
Although Timor had Portuguese
settlement on Its coast more than a
century before Capt. John Smith
with his band of English colonists
disembarked at Jamestown; and al
though the Dutch landed or the is
land about the time Of the Capt.
John Smith Pocahontas life-saving
episode in Virginia, Timor shows lit
tie effect of its contact with the
western world.
"About 300 miles long and averag-
Ing 60 miles In width. the island has
but few settlements that even can
be called township. Even Koepang,
capital and largest port on the Dutch
or western end of the island, has
only $500 inhabitants; and Dill,
which is the chief town in the east
ern, or Portuguese portion of the is
land, can account for only $500 per-

Ireland Rightly Proud
of Old City of Derry

The most northerly sizeable town
in Ireland, and one of the most pros
porous, Londonderry nestles comfort
ably on the banks of the famous
River Foyle. 1t is locally known as
Derry, having been named for the
"Queen of Erin's daughters, fair
Daire." The prefix came when James
l granted lands in the vicinity of
Derry to the city of London.
For the traveller Derry has charm
greater than it's hustle and up-and-
doing atmosphere-rhe story of a
past replete with romance, devotion
to principle and the exhibition Of an
indomitable spirit.
Columbia, greatest Of the Irish
saints after Patrick and Brigid.
founded his abbey here, calling it
Daire-C olumbkille, or Columba's Oak
Grove, within the shadow of great
fort on nearby hill. in order that
his sanctuary might have military
protection.
In vain did he reckon his chances
against the Danes and Saxons. Time
and again they pushed their boats
against his shores. Despite their
laundering and burnings, the settle
ment grew and maintained It's inde-
pendence until overcome by the Eng
fish In 1909. Derry was then given
to the corporation Of London, which
tackled on the prefix London.-New

National Paint Official
Points Out Effects Upon
"Danger Spots"

The most rigorous Winter weather
in recent years has left its mark
on unprotected building properties
throughout the country, according to
leaders in the paint industry, who are
advising home owners, builders and
managers to make plans for long de
ferred repairs and improvements on
weather-damaged investments.
THE destroying forces Of nature are
no respecters Of property owners" says
Ernest T. Tfigg. president Of the
National Paint. Varnish and Lacquer
Association. Rain, snow and damp
ness 60 right on doing damage to

Certain portions Of every building
structure, Mr.. Trigg pointed out, are
known to construction experts as
danger spots" These sections in
clude rain spouts, siding, window
frames, window lodges, porch posts
and porch steps.
"These danger spots might be COM
pared to the cuffs and collar of q

they are exposed to the roughest serv-
ice and the hardest wear. A build
ing's 'oanger spots,' unless they are
properly protected against the on

HUGH POTTER SEES
REAL ESTATE PICKUP
President of National Association
Views Conditions Through
out Country.

A pickup in real estate conditions
in many parts Of the country was
reported by Hugh Potter. president
of the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards. when he addressed the
directors Of the Brooklyn Real Estate
Board last week.
This does not mean that we are
out Of the depression yet," Mr.. Pot
ter said, but in my travels around
the country I have noticed many
signs Of improvement. In Miami Beach,
Fla, there Is an extensive building
program under way. while in such
States as Texas, Alabama, Illinois
and Missouri there is gradually de-
veloping q strong demand for real
estate. Prices will 60 no lower, but
how soon the rise will come Is i'm
possible to predict.
In discussing the tax situation, Mr..
Potter said that because Of the heavy
expenditures for local public works
real estate owners were facing the
most serious tax struggle that they
had ever known.
I'VE need sharp weapons" he de-
clared "A definite limitation for
the total real estate tax Is such a
weapon. Where it has been used
much Of the rest Of our national tax
program seems to follow I propose
clean-cut per cent limitation, with
an additional one-half per cent where
needed for debt retirement"
Mr. Potter said the mortgage situa-
ton was still bad, and suggested that
one way to remedy it would be to
establish Federal mortgage discount
bank,
