THies it add to the selling i vaiue of fann when bulldinjs arej properly kept up ami regularly paint-1 ed? A careful Inquiry of a number of ; lea l;l:'' bi'likers in the Mississippi val-1 ley, inehv'.irg such states as Inwa, UM-1 i :. Mi!:!gan, ('hi i, Indiana ami M.s-i s- ;.ri, reveals the fact that In nearly i every case the bankers did nt hesi taie to ay that they would lend nil the way fr.:n 5 to ;0 jHr cent, more on laud where farm buildings were well pointed and kept in good condition, 'i'l.ey maintain timt well kept-up and well pHinted buildings and fences are an irxieatlmi of thrift and that the thrifty fanner Is a pod client, nnd to liim i:.oney can ba sifely loaned. An average of the returns from these hunkers shows that the Increased loan Yt'luc hcenuse of pi.inted buililinps la avont.d per cent. S.it.ie of these bankers make Inter-e-:inu comineiit. A Michigan concern s;is that, while not es-pcelnlly pre lu.re'l to advise definitely In response to this Inquiry, the otlieers would loan more money on farms where buildings were painted than where they were not so treated. This hank also finds that where houses, bams mid fences me well taken care of the farm Is a profitable proKsitioii, nnd bankers In general consider the farmer it K"'d client. Another Michigan hank says farm buildings out of repair and needing paint Indicate that the owner !s slow pay." Such farms ure rated tit about one-third of the assessed value for loans. Where the farm buildings are in coed shape the rating Is otte l:alf. The president of n middle west ern bank says that when real estata loans are considered, lialnled buildings are always taken Into consideration In making an estimate. The Kncrtil ap pearance of the property surrounding the house and bum nnd also the fields ami fences would be carefully observ ed. He further says that he has no hesitancy In saying that he would ab solutely refuse a loan on farms where the buildings weru not kept up and well pa I n led. In his Judgment, tin painted fann buildings would reduce the loan value nt least 25 per cent. A Minnesota banker says that he Is much more willing to loan money where the buildings are well painted. In his particular case lie believes that he would loan 20 per cent, more than If the buildings were not properly tnken care of. A farmer who will keep his buildings pnlnted takes a much deeper interest .n his work than one who does not. Another Minne sota hank says that well painted build ings hnve resulted in securing from his bank soiueiliws as high as 2." per cent, more money than where the buildings me not pnlnted. An Ohio concern says that It will loan 23 per cent, more numpy on a well kept farm where buildings are painted nt least once every live years. A southern Illi nois bank says that it has tm fixed rule uhout this, but It does make a de cided difference when owners of farm lands apply for loans. If the buildings are well painted and thus well pre served the loan rate would tint only be cheaper, but the amount of money borrowed would be larger. A northern Illinois bunk does not hesitate lo say that It would loan fully fit) per cent, more on a farm where buildings were well painted and In good order than where they were not. The vice presi dent, who answers the Inquiry, goes on to say: "There probably are many farmers good financially nnd morally who permit their buildings to remain unpalnted, but as a rule the most sub stantial people who live in the coun try keep their buildings well pnlnted." An Iowa bank, through Its vice pres. Ident, stales that it would make a dif ference of at least 25 per cent. In fa vor of the farm with palmed build ings. Another Iowa concern says that It would make a difference of at least 20 per cent. All this being true. It It perfectly evident that it Is a good business prop osition to keep the farm buildings well painted. They not only look better and are more pleasing to the owner, but the farm would sell to better ad vantage, the loan value of the property would be greatly Increased and the buildings themselves would last much longer and need less repair.

Curlews Fact C ernes te Light That Lo calities Least Using Seeks AveU Paint AIM. Washington, D. C A carious fact has been brought to light by the Edu cational Bureaa and the Burets of la dust rial Reeesrch here. It Is that In the states where Illiteracy Is most prevalent paint Is least used. The paint referred lo ta the common or barn Variety, of course, for the back woods countries have no need for the tner pigments or facial adornments. It Is true, though, that In the sections of all states where white Illiteracy Is highest painted homes ure rare and painted outbuildings and barns are practically unkuown. Probably the llllterat'4 do not use paint on their buildings because they do not under stand I: vuluo us a preservative. FISK TIRES. FORD PARTS. -::"XH"::"Xh.xx Don't Quit Reading News papers Now.
