Some surprise was created Wpdnes-
day by tho announcement that F. E.
Dullard and A. F. Strcitz hnd tendered
their resignations as members of tho
board of education. This action on
their part grew "out of tho petition
asking tho board to ro-employ Miss
Preston as a teapher after her applica
tion had boon rejected. While regret
ipg to lose these two members, wo do
not fault them for their action, for tho
petition can bo taken ns criticism from
thoso who' Bignod it a lack of confi
dence in tho ability of tho board to
conduct its business in a fair manner
and to the best interests of tho schools.
If the patrons of tho schools decline to
uphold tho board in its actions, espec
ially when it Is composed of such rep
resentative men aa at present consti
tuted, then may we look for a decline
in the efficiency of our schools.

Why Does
It
To Paint?
Pay
Preservation
Good lumber is scarce and high in price. Old lum
ber well seasoned and preserved by painting, is more
valuable than new. Paint is cheaper than lumber.
Valuation
The cash value of property is advanced by paint
ing. Ask your real estate dealer why he paints
before trying to sell.
Reputation
Tourists say that the prosperity of a community
can be accurately gauged by the appearance of the

Upon the enactment of a law author
izing the acquisition of a site for a
Federal building tho Treasury Depart
ment invites, through a local news
paper, proposals for tho salo or dona
tion of a suitablo corner. This adver
tisement gives such information ns to
tho dimensions of the sito nnd tho gen
eral requirements as will enable intel
ligent preparation of proposals.
The offers nro opened in Washington
at the time Btntedln tho advertisement,
and as soon thereafter as practicable an
agent of the Department is sent to
make a personal examination of the
proposed location and such others as
ho deems desirable Upon this roport,
together with, representations In writ
ing fromothor sources, tho Department
selects tho site nnd, If tho property Is
to bo acquired by purchaso, accepts the
offer of the successful bidder, subject
to the conditions stated in tho adver
tisement and tho Attorney Genoral's
approval of tho titlo.
Whenever tho Department is unable
to purchase 'an ncccptablo site at n
reasonable price, ' or where acceptable
title can not be secured by voluntary
conveyance, a Selection is made nnd
tho title acquired by condemnation pro
ceedings, in which tho prico to be paid
is judicially determined.
The buildings (if any) oh tho site
should be reserved by tho vendor, to bo
removed upon notice after payment for
the land has been made. Generally,
notice to move is not given until the
construction of tho Federal building is
about to begin, if tho vondor is willing,
pending such removal, to pay a reason
able ground -rent.
Finns for public buildings aro taken
up in tho order in which tho titles to
tho Bites therefor, aro vested in the

their construction aro let at as early a
