AN INDICATION OF THRIFT. One Concern Advances 25 Per Cent. More if Repainting Is Done Every Five Years, Does It pay to paint carefully farm buildings? Does it add to the selling value of a farm when buildings are properly kept up and regularly paint- ed? A careful inquiry of a number of leading bankers in the Mississippi val- ley, including such states as Iowa, Tlli- pois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Mis- sourl, reveals the fact that in nearly every case the bankers did not hesi- tate to say that they would lend all the way from 5 to 50 per cent. more on land where farm buildings were well painted and kept in good condition, They maintain that well kept-up and well painted buildings and fences are an indication of thrift and that the thrifty farmer is a good client, and to him money can be safely loaned. An average of the returns from these bankers shows that the increased loan value because of painted buildings ts around 22 per cent, Some of these bankers make Inter- esting comment. “A Michigan concern Says that, while not especially pre- pared to advise definitely in response to this inquiry, the officers would loan more money on farms where buildings were painted than where they were not so treated. This bank also finds that where houses, barns and fences are well taken care of the farm is a profitable proposition, and bankers In general congider the farmer a good client, Another Michigan bank says “farm buildings out of repalr and needing paint indicate that the owner is slow pay.” Such farms are rated at about one-third of the assessed value for loans. Where the farm bulldings are In good shape the rating is one- half. The president of a middle west- ern bank says that when real estate loans are considered, painted bulldings are always taken into consideration in making an estimate. The general ap- pearance of the property surrounding the house and barn and also the flelda and fences would be carefully observ- ed. He further says that he has no hesitancy In saying that he would ab- solutely refuse a loan on farms where the buildings were not kept up and well painted, In his judgment, un: painted farm buildings would reduce’ the loan value at least 25 per cent, A Minnesota banker says that he ts much more willing to loan money where the buildings are well painted. In his particularccase he belfeves that he would loan 20 per cent. more than if the bulldings were not properly }, taken care of. A farmer who will keep his buildings painted takes a much deeper interest .n his wark than one who does not, Another Minne- sota bank says that well painted build- ings have resulted in securing from his bank sometimes as high as 25 per cent. more money than where the buildings are not painted, An Ohio concern says that it will loan 25 per cent: more money on a well kept, farm where buildings are painted at least once every five years, A southern Dli- nols bank says that it has no fixed rule about this, but it does make a de- cided difference when owners of farm lands apply for loans. If the buildings are well painted and thus well pre- served the loan rate would not only be cheaper, but the amount of money borrowed would be larger. A northern Illinois bank does not hesitate to say that ft would loan fully 50 per cent. more on a farm where bulldings were. well painted and in good order than where they were not, The vice presi- dent, who answers the inquiry, goes on to say: “There probably are many farmers good financially and morally who permit their buildings to remain unpainted, but as a ruie the most sub- stantial people who live in the cous- try keep their bulldings well painted.” An Iowa bank, through Its vice pres- ident, states that {t would make a dif- ference of at least 25 per cent. In fa- vor of the farm with painted bulld- ings. Another Iowa concern says thet it would make a difference of at least 20 per cent. All this being true, it ts perfectly evident that it is a good business prop- osition to keep the farm buildings well painted. They not only look better and are more pleasing to the owner, but the farm would sell to better ad, vantage, the loan value of the property would be greatly increased and the buildings themselves would last much longer and need less repair,—The American Agriculturist. PAINT AND ILLITERACY. Curious Fact Comes to Light That Lo. calities Least Using Books Avoid Paint Also, Washington, D. C.—A curious fact has been brought to light by the Edu- cational Bureau and the Sureau of In- dustrial Research here. It is that in the states where illiteracy is most prevalént paint is least used, The paint referred to is the common or barn variety, of course, for the back- woods ,countries have no neeuw for the finer pigments or facial adornments, It is truey though, that In the sections of all states where white illiteracy is highest painted homes are rare and painted outbuildings and barns are practically unknown. Probably the illiterates do not use paint on their buildings because they do not under stand its value as a preservative, HOUNDS COULD NOT: FORGET Faithful Animals Long Remembered Young Master Who Met Tragic Death a Year Ago. : It has often been said that a “dog is a man’s best friend.” This has cer- tainly proved true in the case of Johnny Ingram, a fifteen-year-old boy, who froze to death during the big snowstorm about a year ago on the banks of Spring river, says a Still- water (Okla.) dispatch, ao When the body of the unfortunate boy was found two large greyhounds sat shivering in the snow guarding their young master’s remains from wolves and other wild beasts, k After the boy’s burial the two faithful hounds would make almost Geily trips out to.the cemetery and sit for hours at bis grave. On these days they would not partake of a bite to eat until they returned to the In gtam home, Many have followed the dogs to the cemetery out of curiosity to see whni they would do. They were often found lying there, one on euch side of the grave, their heads between their paws, as tf in silent prayer. Last summer the dogs were seen to gather wild pansies and violets in their mouths and trot off toward the cemetery, where they would deposit the flowers upon the boy's grave These flowers were favorites with the lad. About a month ago the two dogs appeared to be slek.. A veterinary surgeon was: called from Stillwater, but after examintne the dogs he declared that he cond find nothing wrong with them. How ever, they still refused to eat. and finally disappeared, " NO THOUGHT OF GRATITUD' Hungry School Teacher Unfortunatety Had “Cast Bread Upon the Wa- », tere” In Vain, : Two Hoosier teachers were travellh through Canada the other day. had to take a very'early train, andas @ result intended to eat breakfast tn the dining car. But there was no dining car on the train, Hungrily they faced the ‘prospect of a diy of fasting, for ' they would not arrive at their destina- tion: until late afternoon, “We have Just two cakes of chocolate,” said one, taking store of their possessions, “Will you eat yours now or wait a while?” The second ate her cake then, trust- ing to luck to find a station lunchroom. But the first waited until” noon and ‘until a mother and two small ebildren had settled themselves in the séat op- posite the teachers. Finally she took the cake of choco tate, eyed it in happy anticipation and then unwrapped it, But lo, the two youngsters were against her knee, and they, too, were lovking at It with happy anticipation, Of Course it was divid ed between them, fis; Half an hour later the mother open: ed her grip and out came the family lunch of fried chicken, sandwiches, etc. But not one bite did the generous teacher. get. “What was that about a cup of cold water?” she asked the other teacher hintingly. The woman with the full basket stared at her coldly. Then she took a drinking cup from her grip and ex- tended it, ““You may have It,” she of- fered, “but there's paper cups at the can.”—Indianapolis News.

TT New Enemy of the Oak. Reports of the defoliation of various species of oak haye come into the for est service offices from western Wash- ington, the Rogue River valley and the Willamette valley, according to Dis- trict Forester Cecil. ‘ This defollation has been caused by a caterpillar known as the western oak loopera worm; which operates from Oregon to British Columbia, and which has been known to defollate the oak in certain areas for several years in suceession. Successful methods of controlling. this csterpillar have been devised by the bureau of entomology. Lettuce In Winter, | An early spring supply of lettuce Is assured British women gardeners who haye adopted the glass-jJar method this past winter.
