^Paint Brush Is , Important Asset to Protect Farm Reduces Labor, Promotes Health, Inspires Pride of Ownership, Says Farm Engineering F,ditor. By O. H. ALFORD IVnn Engineering Editor, “I'rngrrsxlve FaraiiT.” There Is probably no other one thing more neglected by the average farmer than the judicious use of paint, not only on his home and outbuild ings, hut also on machinery and vari ous agricultural Implements. It is perhaps the rule rather than the ex ception in some sections to see build ings. automobiles and agricultural implements sadly in need of paint. The Idea seems to be prevalent that paint Is used solely for ornamental purposes and its use Is regarded as a luxury rather than a necessity. W bile paint does, of course, serve the purpose of Improving the appearance of farm property. It Is far more use ful as a means of protection from weathering. A small amount of money and work expended in keeping a valu able piece of property painted will add greatly to the length of its life. Faint and varnish, while at the same time beautifying the home, keep It In a condition that means true economy. Today, if It were necessary to replace the materials around the 1’lace which have deteriorated. It would cost a great deal more than It would to have kept them painted. This being true, never think of paint ing as being merely decorative. Faint has real value as a protective med ium. Without paint the exposed wood atid metal In your home, barn and outbuildings will soon decay. Would you rather save your house by repainting, or be compelled to repair continuously because you neglected to protect the surface? Take your choice. Paint preserves wood, Iron and other perishable material. Farm build ings which go unpalnted for a few years soon show signs of decay. There are thousands of them In almost every state which look “run down at the heel" and dilapidated because they are unpainted. Fnpalnted blind ings give a community the "black eye” as nothing else can do. "Faint and pride are partners," the solidity and prosperity of a commun ity, county or state are indicated by its physical appearance. Faint makes ihings beautiful and attracts new peo ple and Industries to the community and rounty. Fresh paint Is the most efficient booster of property values yet dis covered. Faint and varnish protect property by saving the surface. The wise property owner paints at least every four years. Every dollar put into paint Improvement more than pays In actual selling value. Besides, hanks lend more on well-painted prop erly. Faint tends to destroy danger ous germs which develop on the walls of outbuildings. (lood paint and varnish reduce the labor of keeping clean, promote health, inspire prjdp of ownership and multiply the joys of living. There is no better time to paint than now. Any cleaning that lasts requires the paint brush even more than the scrub brush. Walls and other surfaces which are properly- painted are wash able. All farm implements and machinery should he cleaned and painted before they are stored away for any length of time. Paint will protect the Iron parts from rust and the wooden parts from decay. The farmer's wife and daughters are keenly alive to the importance of paint. A fresh cqat of paint on the house, kitchen, tables and chairs transforms a dull place into one of mtirh attractiveness. Union Livestock Commission Cattle Shipments Increase A gain of 23 per cent in the num ber of ears of livestock handled in September, this year, compared with the corresponding month last year, was shown by the Farmers union live stock commission of Omaha, ac cording to the monthly summary given nut at the (lose of the month by C.

Des Moines, la., Oct. 5.—Heavy to killing frosts occurred in the north west states, including the upper Mis slssippi valley at the close of the w eek ending Wednesday, 0( tober 1, but though the Injury was severe tn some sections, most crops were ma tured sufficiently that heavy de struction was not general, according to the weekly weather and crop re port of the United States weather bureau, made public here. Hast of the Mississippi river the light frost was confined mostly to lowlands and the resulting damage was not ma terial. Corn Overpowered. Of the earn crop, the reiairt said: "Corn made very good progress tin til near the close of the week, when heavy to killing frost overspread the northwestern portion of the belt. The extent of the damage is not fully de termined, but it Is apparently heavy in some normally large producing sec tions. “Frost was killing In eastern and south central Iowa, where the crop is largely linpiatured, with probably 35 per cent safe, while the crop lands may yet become safe. The best fields were damaged more or less and will require sorting for market. Hainage General. “The damage was general in Ne braska, hut not generally heavy, as much was beyond danger. Maturity was very irregular in South Dakota, ranging from 50 to !>0 per cent safe before frost came. Damage was tin important in Kansas and Missouri, where the crop was mostly beyond danger. In the Ohio valley and east ward, corn continued to mature slow ly'’ There was some further Interrup tion to spring wheat threshing, ac cording to the report, though in gen era] the work is well along. Condi tions were very favorable for the preparation of the soil and seeding winter wheat, with soil generally in good condition, except in some north west portions of the belt. Seeding was more general in the Ohio valley states, advancing rapidly In the great plains and about one-half in Kan sas, the report said. Take ( are at Home.

Much Demand for | W heat and Flour From Europeans l’. S. \\ heat Still Plentiful and Cheapest in World— Only Trend for This Crain Seems Higher. B.v CHARLES .1. LEYDEN. Universal Service Stuff Correspondent. Chicago, Oct. 5.—Europe continues after United States wheat at an tin preoedented rate. Lately there seems *o have been a much healthier in qtilry for flour, also. With wheut still plentiful In this country and of good quality, besides being the cheap est in the world, there is every rea son to believe that foreigners will not let up in their takings. Compared with Liverpool, the wheat In Chicago is selling 24% cents a bushel cheaper. Our grain can he "laid down" in the United Kingdom 20 rents a bushel cheaper than Ca nadian. The near crop calamity on the continent, .of course, is the main reason for this enormous foreign de mand, and the farmer of the United States is reaping a golden harvest. With a world shortage developing later on in the season there seems hut one trend for wheat, and that Is higher. Wheat at $1.50 looks high at a glance, hut the bulls claim it will reach $2 Inter on. Europe Takes Futures. • Season* U market leaders for many (lays have been cautioning the trade and the public about following the advances In the market with buying orders. The result hap been enormous profit taking sales on every bulge. The effect on prices ordinarily from such realizing yvould ho depressing. But only temporary reactions actual ly occurred. The reason why wheat has failed (o weaken any is due to the fact that absorption by foreigners and export ers on every dip has been insistent. Europe Is not only buying cash wheat but Is taking the futures as well. And much of the export buying has been in the way of lifting hedgings, yvhirh hedgings will probably not he re placed during this crop year. The Canadian yvheat crop seems to he experiencing In a measure the same inclement weather that, befell European crops this year at harvest time. The wheat yields In Canada are estimated anywhere from 230,000. ntm to 273,000,000 bushels this year, this compared with 474,000,000 bush els raised a year ago. The October wheat at Winnipeg lia been sea ring rapidly' as a result ot the bad weather. Corn Arts Nervous. Corn has been acting nervous. Th> buoyancy in other grains had been sympathetically adhered to, hot the trade as a whole prefers other grains to buy. The reduction in the pro spective feeding demand for corn this year Is the influence tliat keeps spec ulators out of the pit. However, we are going to have a much smaller crop this year than last, and the per centage of merchantable corn will surely be low. There was considerable buying of corn attached at the end of the week, due to the forecast for freezing tem peratures over Kansas, Nebraska, and parts of the northwest. Muc h of the corn crop is not matured and should ; conditions turn unfavorable for any With the County Agents ]i _ ^ Fremont—Murveying has been finished ami the laying ol tile will be started soon for the large drainage project on the Martha West Devine farm of #0 a< res north '*f Am'-*.

Priees Car ried Irregularly Lower by Profit Taking. l«y A.Mifiilted Press. New York, Oct. 5.—Higher money rates, laser! on the shifting of funds incidental to first of the month de mands, checked the upward trend of the bond market lust week. Inter ruption of the recent buying move ment was followed by rather general profit taking which carried prices ir regularly lower. Public offering of a $50,000,00 bond issue for the Mexican government, without the participation of Interna tional Bankers, marked an operation which was without precedent in for eign financing of such magnitude. Sponsored by a Texas hanker, little known in Wall street, the flotation was said to he for the purpose of raising funds lo resume service on the Mexican Debt under the agree ment. now jit default. The financial district viewed with skepticism re ports that 65 per rent of the bonds had been sold outside New York. Trices Fall Back. The International committee of hankers on Mexico, which negotiated the readjustment of the country's debt in 1022, denied any knowledge of the transaction. Members of the committee, however, said they would welcome the success of the venture If it would provide funds for the pay ment of interest on the bonds In volved In the debt agreement. With the mystery surrounding the recent advance of these Issues cleared up prices fell hack to around their prev lous figures. Offering of the Mexican bonds, combined with the sale of a $50,000, 000 issue for the Pennsylvania rail road, lifted the week's new figure to approximately $175,000,000, one of the largest weekly totals of the year. Included in the business was n I $20,000,000 loan for the Purls Lyons Mediterranean railroad of France. The operation by the Pennsylvania railroad was designed to retire 6 per cent obligations held by the dlreetor general of railroads through nn Issue of 5 per rent bonds, thus rednrlng annual charges by about $500,000. German Keport Good. The announcement of ,1. P. Morgan in I.ondon thnt bankers had found underlying security.for the $200,000, 000 German loan satisfactory and that American experts saw little dif ficulty in the way of a successful flotation was welcomed In Wall Ftreet.

By RICHARD SPIU.ANK, I nlvenml service Unnnre Killtwr, New lurk, Oct. f>.—Business the nation over seems to he doing fairly well, all things considered. Bad spots apparently arc liecoming fewer and good spins more numerous. Politics hang like a cloud over tho stock mar ket. It Is not a big cloud but never theloss it is a cloud. The German loan terms may lie expected tills week. Much will depend on this flo tation. The backbone of business strength today is the agricultural situation. The improvement in crop prices Is enough to stagger the imagination. With wheat, Chicago, above $1.50 a bushel, rye above $1.37, corn above $1.14 and oats above 61c, the grain grower may look out ui>on the world with smiling eyes. The cotton grower has ground for congratulating himself also. Despite ills disposition to consider no price good enough for his crop, 25 to 26 cents a pound should leave a good profit for him this year. Cotton Demand Poor. Many crops have sold for less than 12c a pound in the last 3d years, some at less than 16c and some at less than 6c. But the cotton manufacturing busi ness js sick. Demand for cotton goods continues poor. Women not only are wearing fewer rlothes, hut to lighten the laundering cost and 'also because they prefer it, they wear silk, artificial silk as they never did before. The wool business, on the contrary, seems to have had a sudden and re markable turn for the better. A few weeks ago the American Woolen com pany proposed a reduction of wages of its many thousands of employes. Mow it has withdrawn the wage re duction order and is working full time. Good reports come from the leath er people. After several years of misfortune they seem to be prosper ing again. Oils continue poor. This refers to gasoline. The lubricant end of the industry thrives. Railroads Kxeellcnt. Popper producers may hope for bet ter times through large orders from Germany following the floating of the German loan but otherwise the out look has not improved. Railroad traffic and railroad earn ings are excellent. Rubber, like wool, has had a re markable comeback. The tobacco business is today the best it has been in years, perhaps the best it ever has been. f'hain store people, department store men and mail order houses are prospering. In the steel industry there is dif flculty among the independents ow ing to the abolition of the Pittsburgh plus plan. This may be overcome by lowering rail rates to middle west points as is proposed by the inter state commerce commission. The automobile sales are satisfac tory. On the whole the situation is good, more than good, it would seem, con sidering the bleak outlook Inst spring , i HEALTH Investigate Chiropractic N'o matter what your disease may be, you ran investigate with safety, as no qualified practitioner will accept a rase Ihe cannot help.

Oct. 5.—Uniter and butterfat prices may not go much lower in spite of the fact that stor age stocks of butter are over 50,000,. 000 greater than at this time last year, and production continues high, thinks Martin Nelson, manager of the Farmers Union co-operative creamery’ here. When the price of butter descends to a certain point, he says, several factors begin to retard further decline. One of these factors Is exports. The price of butter is now down to an export basis, and 250,000 pounds recently went out from New York in one shipment. Furthermore, Mr. Nelson says, when the price of butter goes down to 40 cents or below, a great many people tuin from oleomargarine to putter, and the demand broadens. j Omaha Produce Omaha Oct. 4.
