1t has been completely finished at
the factory, and you don't have to
do a thing about it after the job is
done except give 1t a final polishing.
1t seems they have gone to the trouble
OF eliminating that final step we men,
toned a moment ago thereby SPAR
ing you the torment of drying varnish.
The planks are all impregnated at
the factory with some sort of sealer
and a waxy compound put on under
plenty Of heat and pressure. This
expert processing gives you a beautiful
finish, and as you can well imagine,
highly durable surface.
10 YOUR friends complain that
they have trouble finding your
house when they come out to the
suburbs to see you? OF course, this
cloak of secrecy which surrounds many
houses is quite an advantage If you
are busily dodging bill collectors, but
let us assume for the moment that
everything has been paid up and you
are ready and willing to receive all
callers.
You can have your whole name made
up on . fine new residence marker if
you 30 desire. and it will shine like
small electric sign when the impend-
ing visitors headlights fall upon its
polished aluminium surface.
The markers are not particularly
inexpensive to produce. because of the
pattern used in casting the letters
together. but with one installed on
your lawn you can rest assured that
the old family name will be displayed
in the finest possible way. and will
never fail to be seen by friend and
foe alike.

EFFECTED SIMPLY
Technique Is Improved to
Save Time and Cost in
Rejuvenation.

There Is no room in the house
which can be changed from drabness
to beauty, from cheerlessness to en-
viable charm and from prosaic utility
to inviting usefulness with such ease,
satisfaction and at such . reasonable
cost as the bathroom.
With the major part Of their efforts
during the last five years concen-
trated on modernization work. plumb
ing contractors have perfected the
technique Of bathroom rejuvenation.
Replacement work has been speeded
up, and the entire job can be &C.
complished with little or no incon-
venience to family routine. Improved
piping materials and fixtures especial
ly adapted for modernization work
as we'll as more efiicient methods Of
installation all aid in speeding up the
work and reducing the cost.
Single Contract Possible.
1t is not necessary for the home
owner to deal separately with differ
ent tradesmen whose work Is involved
in bathroom modernization work.
Most plumbing dealers will gladly as
sumo full responsibility for the COM
plete job, including new wall and floor
materials.
The entire cost of the handsome
and colorful new bathroom may then
be financed on the easy monthly pay
ment plan offered by Title I Of the
National Housing Act.

rejuvenated are new and more beauti-

"OR some strange reason the
- floors around and about the av-
erage house are pretty sorry
4 things to behold. OF course,
the curse of poor floors can be relieved
to some extent by the judicious placing
Of rugs and furniture, but in spite of
all those half-hearted attempts, the
fact remains that few things detract
quite as much from the beauty of your
home. No matter how hard you try
the bad areas. the worn spots, the
sagging planks all seem to pop into
view just when you don't want them to.
Another strange thing is the fact
that very little is done to correct these
conditions. While you will hardly
hesitate minute before you 60 ahead
and buy full set of tires for the car,
or possibly install new refrigerator
when the old one gets a little shaky.

few words. You don't want to put
up with all the bother of the carpentry
first of all, then you look rather
obviously toward the noise and dirt
stirred up by the sanding process, and
finally shudder to think of those long
hours of strain to nerves and nose
when the various coats Of stain and
varnish are drying.
As you have probably guessed by
now. we have found solution to these
multiple disadvantages, and you can
now 60 ahead with the beautifying of
your home and know that you can
have floor put down and be walking
around on its fine finished surface the
same day If you use new type OF
flooring which has just been put out.
This flooring represents something
we should have had long time ago,
because of the fact it combines the
beauty and solidity OF heavy oak floor
ing with the ease OF laying which We
associate with other more recent syn
thetic products. First Of all. 1t has q
new type of self-leveling joint, shaped
in a v section so that the number of
split tongues will be materially re-
duced and you can't help but get
fine, tight joint between planks. Then
you will find that 1t makes the busi-
ness of mailing down pretty much Of
cinch because nail holes have been
punched at 2-inch intervals, thereby
eliminating an awful lot Of splitting
which occurred on the ordinary type
of plank as it was hammered into
place. OF course, you didn't see those
little splits and imperfections because
they were probably very cleverly con-
cealed as the work progressed, but
nevertheless, they were there and
didn't do the job any good

SENIOR BIOGRAPHIES
Robert Nj, Codding

Robert was found on the door
step of the home of his parents
early the morning dated February
IL, 1920. Being such a bashful sort
and so likeable even at that age,
they decided to keep him. He has
spent all of his school years at
tending our White Bluffs, grade
school. OF course, he is one Of our
most honored Seniors and hopes
that the instructors will allow him
to graduate. =
Bob is the president of the Stu
dent Body and was the president
Of the Junior class last year, so you
see that he will accept nothing less
than the presidency Of something
or other.
Bob is a member of the DeMolay
and the president (agairl) of the
Future Farmers of America, In
which he takes an active part.
Bob, when interviewed, confided
that he wants to start on his fu-
ture by working III the importing
business and when he has all the
money he can handle he will re-
tire at the age of forty and become
what is known as a gentleman
farmer.
He doesn't feel that he needs the
knowledge that one receives in TAX
ing a college course for four years
and that he will merely skip that
little item and get a head start on
his business. Although he would at
tend a business college if he had
nothing else to do.
Give it all you have and you will
receive in proportion, back. what
you deserve, Bob.

other persons was unknown.
The fires, burning in peat, bogs,
brush lands and timber along the Ca
madam boundary from Warroad to
International Falls, and southwark
in the iron ore region around Hibbing
and Virginia, destroyed farm homes
and forced settlers to flee.
An unidentified man collapsed while

and died in hospital. Two Indians,
Ed Blackbird and Pete Accobee, work.
ing with fire crew near Warroad,
were missing and the farmhouse from
which Mr.. and Mrs. Grant Abmier,
north of Warroad, had refused to tiee
was reported isolated.
A c. c. c. enrollee, Orville r. Will
liatns, 1S, of Little Falls, was fatally
injured when c. c. c. fire truck and
forestry truck collided in dense
smoke. Five other c. G. G. boys were
hurled to the ground, one badly hurt.
Acting on orders of Gov. Elmer A.

BOSTON, Oct 1.-THE white over

in a vacant cafe Saturday morning
and thousands of dollars in gems
from an adjoining jewelry store were
the object of a widespread search
throughout the East today.
As Gordon Bros, owners Of the
jewelry store attempted to appraise
their loss, with indications it might
reach $150,000, police began search
for an acetylene dealer using a yellow
truck.
An acetylene tank was the only
clue left by the robbers who worked
in leisurely fashion over the week
end, boring through the wall between
the cafe and the jewelry store and
into the strongbox The noise of
a firemen's parade Sunday on q
nearby street presumably helped to
screen the thump of the hammers.
When police arrived yesterday to
investigate the robbery, an employe
in a nearby building told of seeing
a truck pull up to the cafe Saturday
morning and discharge the men in

Il BURN TO DEATH
IN FOREST FIRES
Two Mothers, Nine Children
Are Found by Ontario
Provincial Police.

FORT FRANCES, Ontario. Oct. II
canadian PresO The bodies of two
mothers and nine young children, VIC
tins Of forest fire which swept
through Dance Township yesterday,
were brought today to Fort Frances
by Ontario provincial police.
All the victims were believed to be-
long to the families Of Noah and Bill
Labelle, brothers. who had settled in
the sparsely populated area through
which fires ragged yesterday. destroying
thousands of acres Of fine timber on a
front of so miles.
Constable David Hamilton told how
searchers had found the charred
bodies. The two mothers had died
with their bodies stretched across their
smallest children in a vain attempt to
save them.
Many homes of families of settlers
were burned, but we do not know
whether there we're other victims and
probably won't have definite informa-
ton until our men return" said Mr..
Hamilton. Police still were searching
the countryside for possible victims.
Mr.. Hamilton said the fires had been
eating slowly through the timber coun-
try so miles northwest of here for
two weeks. Yesterday fresh winds
drove them toward this town, on the
Minnesota border. and at one time they
we're within mile of Fort Frances.
The constable said the IL bodies
were found along the road from their
homes.
Apparently the Labelle women,
carrying their babies, ran from their
homes with the other children follow
ing them," he related The thick
smoke must have overcome them be-
fore they got far We found the bodies
a few feet apart with the mothers
bodies resting over the small babies as
if they had tried to hide them from the
flames"
Other members of the Labelle FAM
lilies were expected here to identity
the bodies.
