STAG-PAINT Hirshberg Paint Concrete Sidewalk c Finding Much Favor The use of concrete for sidewalks has become so universal throughout the cities and towns of this country that a town or city of any appreciable aire Is rarely found In which the side walks are not all made of this favored material. Concrete Is now universally accepted as the Ideal sidewalk material. Prop erly built concrete walks meet all the requirements of a good footway. They are durable, smooth without being slippery, and are pleasing and clean in appearance. Good walks are easy to build. It Is only necessary to follow a Good-Looklng and Durable. few, easily understood principles, to build concrete walks that are prac tically everlasting. Just four materials enter Into a con crete walk ? portland cement, sand, crushed 6tone or pebbieB and water. When these are combined In certain definite proportions, placed on a pre pared foundation and allowed to harden the walk Is complete. Rut the materials must he suitable; the foun dation must be properly prepared ; and the mixing and placing of the concrete must meet the requirements of sound construction principles. Failure to meet one or more of the above condi tions' In the early days of concrete making was the cause of occasional poor wulks being constructed. Future " Old Home " Weeks The "antiquated" pnst Is not so far in the rear nfter all. In America It is hardly sufficiently remote to be re garded as historical In the strictest sense of that term. And yet the in clination too often is to believe that all that is worth while in American annals has been written by those of previous generations. It might not be an extravagant statement that at no time since the coming of the first white settlers to American shores has the responsibility of the individual been greater than at the present mo ment. There are still many old home weeks to be observed, a decade hence, a century farther on. Those who par ticipate in such gatherings will look bnck upon the building which is now being done, Just as we of today look back upon the structure we have re ceived as a legacy from sturdy and high-minded forebears. ? Christian Science Monitor. Time to Plant Trees Whatever trees we want to plant? and everybody ought to plant trees ? should be planted now. The early planted trees get the best chance at making satisfactory growth. If we are going to grow a lawn? and everybody ought to grow a lawn ? this Is the best time to get the seed In the ground. Hot dry weather Is Dot conducive to grow ing grass. It takes the cool, moist seasoit of spring to get a new growth for a lawn started. Then If we expect to garden, plant flowers, paint the premises or otherwise let the world know that we are among those pres ent In the world's activities, It Is also tln.e to get going. It Is the flme to leave our hibernating mental attitude nnd get Into tho wide-awake swing of real action. ? Florence News. City's Opportunity Cities have the ambition to nsplre to great heights when they hnve built their foundation with an understand^ Ing of the main essentials which go Into the development of prestige and good will. Without those attributes, some cities may become richer and greater, hut they do not and cannot become better. Troy has the oppor tunity.

MY FAVORITE STORIES By IRVIN S. COBB (Copyright.) The Surest System Yet j When you henr a story from the man In the street and shortly there I afterward go to a vaudeville theater I and hear a performer on the stage re I peat It. you may know by this sign i that It has undoubted merits. It is an ' evidence of distinction on the part of the story. i Here lately, a popular yarn of other | days has been enjoying a theatrical revival. The story has to do with a man describing a poker game which I he was Invited to Join while visiting in a strange town. | "The first hand that was dealt," he ; says. "I had threes. I opened the pot j anil one other man stayed, lie drew ? one card. We bet back and forth for a while and Anally he called. 'I've got ] ihree of a kind,' 1 said, and showed ! down my three nines. 'I've got a ! straight ? ten high,' he says, and | pitches his hand in the deck and | reaches for the chips. 'Hold on,' I j says, 'I didn't see what you had.' He ' l"oks at me sort of surprised and (lie : fellow who's glvin' the party speaks I up and says to me: 'This Is a gentle j man's game. If a man wins n pot here | we never ask him to show his hand. We Just take his word for it that he j holds the winning cards and we let it 1 go at that. That's our rule.' " I "Did you keep on flaying after I that?" asks a bystander. j "Certainly I did," says the first i speaker. i "And did you win?" "Did I win?" Huh ? the first pot | was the only one I lost !" ! No Place for an Outsider I used to know a New York busi ness man who dellghtei! to tell a yarn of his boyhood. He said that when j he was about sixteen years old his father, who was a presiding elder of the M. E. church, took him from hl9 | home in Pennsylvania to a town out j in Ohio where the son was to be I entered in a small college. "When we got off the train," said my friend, "the whole town seemed to be in a battle. It was a coal mining district, and two groups of husky miners with fists and clubs were doing their level best to destroy each other. There were 20 fights go ing on at once! The town marshal was in a doorway looking on calmly. "I rather enjoyed the sight ; but my father as a minister of the gospel wns naturally very much shocked. Hold ing me by the hand, he made for the place where the town marshal stood. "'What does this outrage mean?* the old g* ^tleman demanded. " 'This is pay day by the mines,' ex plained the marshal In a strong Teu tonic accent, 'und every pay day this happens ? the Irish miners they lights mit the Welsh miners.'" "'Hut why don't you stop It?' asked my father. " 'For why should I Interfere?' said the marshal simply. 'I'm German!'" Narrowing Down to the Facts There were two brothers; a truth ful brother and a brother who was the most incorrigible and persistant liar In the county. As a result of the latter's chronic embellishments of facts the whole family was getting a had reputation. The truthful brother took him In hand. "Look here, Hill," he said, "you're disgracing the name. This thing has got to stop. The next time you start in to exaggerate Just keep your eye on me. When you begin to go too far I'll give you a hard look and that'll he " signal to you to begin soft pedaling." The very next day the two brothers wore In the company of a group of their fellow citizens. The talk drifted to the subject of big city hotels. This was n cue for the liar. "Speakln" of hotels," he said, "I I know a hotel out In CaMforny that Is twenty two stories high, has a thousand rooms In It, eight dining rooms. fourteen bowling alleys, twenty two swimming pools, thirty soda water fountains, forty-eight billiard halls and- ? " here he caught a hard look from the good ^brother ? "and is three feet ami a half wide."

On his way down Rtalrs In deep disgust he met the proprietor. Long Hrown. "What kind of a dump Is tills you're running?" demanded Williams. "I've Just been skinned out of four hundred dollars." "Who brought yon In here?" said llrown. "I brought myself In," said Wil liams. "Oh. If that's the case," said Itrmvn, "I owe yon eighty dollars." "How come?" "Well, you nee.
