NTOW that the leaves are
IN turning brown, it's high
time to start getting things
ship-shape for winter. A leaky
roof or a barn door that blows
off its hinges can ruin a lot of
feed. And there's no feed to
spare.
The best cure for a leaky
roof is a good dose of Southern
States Plastic Roof Cement to
fill in the holes and cracks.
Then go over the roof with a
coat of Southern States Liquid
Asbestos Roof Coating.
If the roof needs replacing,
your Southern States Service
Agency still has good stocks of
durable tar paper roofing
with a thick coating of asphalt.
Paint is good protection
against the weather but
did you ever stop to think that
it's good protection against
fire too1 A painted surface is
less apt to catch fire and
it's better insulated against
cold winter weather. Southern
States Super Barn Paint gives
a tough, 1ong-lasting film that
preserves the wood and pro-
tects the surface. Drop in and
let your Southern States Serv-
ice Agency estimate the cost of
painting your barn or any other
buildings that need protection.

The minute the cold weather
comes, rats will start to seek
shelter and first thing you
know you'll be harboring a
whole army of the pests and
feeding them, too. Rat-proof
your feed storage room, get rid
of all rubbish and then
start a poisoning campaign
with Liquid Arsenical Rat
Poison which you can get at
your Southern States Service
Agency. The man at your local
Service Agency is an old hand
at getting rid of rats-ask him
for some pointers.

WOMEN VOTERS will have more
to say in determining the choice
of a President in 1914 than ever
before. as members of the Ma
tional Federation of Women's Re-
publican Clubs, meeting in Gin
cinnati, Ohio, recently, have point
ed out. There is a mathematical
reason for this. The armed forces
of the country now number more
than 100000 men. More than
100000, possibly more than
100000, of them will be in service
abroad in November, 1914, should
the war last that long. Opportuni-
ties for voting may not be avail
able for many of them; to many
others the war itself may loom so
much larger than the election that
they will not vote. This will be
true also. in some degree, of men
in home encampments.
Furthermore, there has been a
heavy shift of voters from their
places of residence to the muni-
tion plant areas, with consequent
forfeiture in many cases of the
ballot. The total popular vote of
1910, which was 49,S15,312, is prob

We are warned that we face a SER

have to approve and also appro-
pirate the money. But ii shows the
folly of the planners, in that they
do not admit that in the end the

whatever food costs. it is better to
pay in the first place than to beat
around the bush and foot the bill

FurIoueh Weddings Gall
For Ingenious Preparation
BY ELEANOR ROSS

THE QUICKLY arranged fur
Tough wedding is the thing these
days and the desire TO make the
occasion as festive as possible
despite restrictions of time and
the various shortages creates big
difficulties. Work hard, plan, ar
range, do everything 10 make
the occasion a happy one.
If there is to be home recep-
tion rather than a breakfast at
a restaurant. do not take on
more than your household will
permit unless YOU can draw on
friends or relatives for addi-
tional supplies, help and equip
ment.
If the house is always kept
neat and tidy there will be no
necessity for that laSt-minute
doing-oVer that is such a strain
on time, effort and temper.
Instead a few last minute
touches to put things to rights
and perhaps a regrouping OF
furniture should be sufficient.
Flower Arrangements
If you can, splurge on flowers,
for nothing gives such a festive
wedding air as bright spring
flowers and foliage tastefully ar
ranged. Borrow containers so
that flowers aren't damned into
vases or bowls.
Place them where they will be
out of the way, where they
aren't likely to be knocked over
or 10 completely occupy small
tables, making it difficult for a
guest to set down a plate or a
glass.
Your plans must include re-
freShmentS that look and taste
as though long hours had been
spent in the preparation. even If
they have been whiSked together
at a moments notice.
The Refreshments
In these days of shortages and
point rationing. providing re-
freShmentS comes under the
