Pictorial wall papers representing auth- entically historic happenings were quite the last word in the 1860's. Modern designers have never attempted them be- fore. One leading firm is showing an ambitious pattern which pictures with ac curate detail the high spots of the whole New York skyline with the Battery and the Statue of Liberty at one end of the panel.

No use to describe this load as they are nearly all 1937-1938 models, the best that can be had. Buying a horse or mule is just like your wife wanting a good dress made—she wouldn't go to a harness maker or a shoemaker to get a job of this kind done; she would go to an experienced dressmaker where she would get quality, style and service. Of course if she isn't very particular and can put up with most anything, then the shoemaker could do the job. Buy your horses where you get quality and do not let a shoemaker serve you when he does not have what you would like to buy and you know that Shaffer has and sells the kind that will please you. Buy them from the Old Reliable Dealer who has served you for 31 years. I hitch and show all horses and mules the day before kale and on day of sale. 35 SECOND-HAND HORSES Some good and some not so good; one to suit everybody's pocketbook. : Times change, but my guarantee does not.

A few cities choose their employees by means of civil service examinations. Popular elec- tion of public employees has its disadvan- tages, for voters cannot be expected to tell, simply by reading a name on a ballot, just how well qualified a candidate may be for specialized duties such as the hand- ling of financial affairs or the building of good highways. h You west RIGHT.

ELMER SHAFFER. \ \ Smut Worst Enemy Of Local Oat Crop Hutchison Explains How, Loss Can Be Reduced | By Treatment Smut is the worst enemy of oats in Pennsylvania. It reduces yields in fields planted to untreated seed by 2 to 3 bush- els an acre, County Agent J. D. Hutchi- son reports. Formaldehyde, a gas dissolved in water, has been found to be the most efficient material for treating the seed to control smut. The cost is only 2 to 3 cents an acre. One pint of 40 per cent formaldehyde diluted with a pint of water is sufficient for 50 bushels of oats. The solution can be used in a small hand sprayer. The use of more than one pint of formalde- hyde to 50 bushel may cause injury to the seed. After the oats have deen thoroughly cleaned with a fanning mill, they should be placed in a pile on a clean barn floor or canvas, or in a tight wagon box. {ered with blankets or canvas, or PAGE THREE While one man shovels the oats from one pile to another a second man or boy can spray a little of the solution over each shovelful. Two strokes of the handle give about the right amount. After all the oats are treated, should be shoveled into a pile and they cov with. grain sacks sprayed on both sides with the solution. Allowed to remain covered for at least five hours, the oats may be bagged and drilled. Mr. Hutchison recommends sewing the oats as soon as possible after treating. If held over two weeks they should be run through a clean fanning mill set at full draft. This will blow out surplus formaldehyde gas which otherwise might injure the seed. Oats treated by this method which are not used for seeding may be safely fed: to livestock.
