Why does Great Brltian buy its oatmeal of us? Certainly it seems like carrying coals to Newcastle to speak of exert ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every Jrear the Quaker Oats Company sends umdreds of thousands of cases of Quaker Oats to Great Britiau and Europe. The reason is simple; while the English and Scotch have for centuries eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a regularity that has made them the most rugged physically, and active mentally o( all people, the American has been eating oatmeal and trying all the time to improve the methods of manufacture so that he might ^ct that desirable foreign trade. ? How* well he has succeeded would be seen at a glance at the export re ports on Quaker Oat8. This brand is without a rival; is packed in regular packages, and in hermetically sealed tins (or but climates. 51 THE (i:\si S KM mi: it A TO US. Men Who Will Take the Census i Laurens County.

I say, le no opportunity pass by that promise) results in this direction. During the past three or four yean thousands of dollars have been invest od ill homes, new residences, bushiest offices and public buildings hav< Sprung up at a steady rate, much per mauent street Improvements, repre senting a Idg outlay of the people' money, have been made, and by reasoi of these forward steps Laurens has at traded state wide attention and i looked upon as one of the best town in the Piedmont. There is, however, one saugest ioi I should like to make with reference t this building enterprise. Most all th new residences and cottages are mod cds of latest architectural design an are therefore comfortable and attrac tive, from this standpoint. Hut i there not a noticeable lack of elvi pride in the matter of keeping then new and attractive by the appllcatio of plenty of paint? There are quit a number of new houses that hav not been painted and others that ar rapidly becoming dingy and unsightl because of the lack at the proper tlm of a new coat. Paint is cheap, mud cheaper than lumber; it is a preserva the and there is nothing which add so much to the appearance and genera attractiveness of a home. Let this matter or painting be givoi more attention and your houses wil be as good as new many years afte those allowed to go unpainted hovt fallen Into decay. If your resideno< and fences need a fresh coat of pain there is no better season than tlu present for making the improvement After yours has been done all tlx neighbors will fall in line ami sooi your particular section of the towt emerges anew as it were, more attrac tive and inviting than ever.
