Does it really PAY to paint a house regularly, say, even' three or four years? Answer.?Good paint properly npu-imn tioa/iod 5o flir* mn in tliinp1 in i-'UCU ?? lltll A - - making a house last long and well. A house worth $2,500 can be painted at a j cost of about $125. In 00 years that i house will need about 15 paintings, the total cost of which will be $1,S05. Left without paint, such a house would fall into complete ruin in 30 years. So taking GO years as a basis for our fig-1 ures we find that with paint a home will last that time in good condition I and will cost, plus paint, $4,375. With-; out paint the house would have to he rebuilt at the end of 30 years and would be ready for another complete renovation when the sixtieth year ar-j rived. Cost, without paint, $5,000 for, a home ready to fall to pieces. Does regular painting pay? As the old j Dutch adage says: i VAINT PROTECTION AND ITS ECONOMY | The preservation of structural ma- i terials, which may be obtained through j the application of paint, constitutes a j most vital means of furthering the conj servation of our natural resources. Tt i is, moreover, the most economical [ method of sustaining the appearance : and general upkeep of any community. A structure coated with sheets of India rubber would not be as well protected from decay as a structure coated with a good oil paint. This is due to the fact that a sheet of rubber is not so durable or as waterproof as a thin dried film of paint. The latter material when applied dries to a continuous elastic film containing finely divided particles of metallic, wear resisting pigments. A square foot of such a film upon a wooden surface costs less than a penny, yet it will beautify and protect a dollar's worth of surface for ; many years. This is a low rate of in- i surance. Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, sheds, posts, fences, stock oncloshres, wagons, implements, windmills and other structures, whether of wood, iron or cement, j should be preserved, through the use of paint, from rapid decay. High grade j PL'i-t may be used successfully for all | such purposes. Colored paints will be found t>.e most seviceable, the coloring natter in the paint adding from two to three years to the life of the coating Subscribe to The Dispatch-News. IStV !W I* ? ?

Query.?The government has launched an educational campaign to encourage building in order to put more men tc work. Would not a similar movement tc show how the old structures can be bes: and most economically repaired and mad' good as new also help? Answer.?It is learned that such ? plan is in effect and is linked di recti, with jhe Washington propaganda. Industry must be turned back fron works of war to the ways of peace Employment must be found, in the meanwhile, for those whose occupation has been interrupted. There is i:o real surplus of labor in the United States. Rather there is a shortage, which would be acute if normal ouididitions were already restored, and one step towards restoring them will conic with resumption of repair work. Government restrictions, imposed by the necessities of the war program, June tor many tnonms past reiarueu or altogether prevented construction, improvement and repairs. These restrictions are now oft. and there is scarcely a town, a city, a factory, a dwelling or a farm that does not reveal a crying need for prompt attention. Nothing delays such instant action except 1 ho feeling that prices are higl for the time being and may he lower. That is not logical. No matter what it costs to repair, the cost is less than the cost of neglect. No matter what the cost of paint, the wind and the weather will collect a higher bill in deterioration and decay. |.-::^r -*?? ? r. . V. - -/.
