The real home town, on the broad, helpful basis, isn't far to seek. There are many of them here, at home, as elsewhere- of community interest, where the people pull together on all worthy lines, such as the Hartwell (Ga.) Sun describes in the following paragraph: town Is the town of happiness.

We strive for something more than business. We strive for friendliness, one with another, which makes life worth while. We have a family circle in which every inhabitant counts one. Our motto 1s 'One for All and All for And we want to play the same game with our everywhere. Life is the game of brotherhood, and our town is building on that basis." There could be no better basis upon which to build; for, by striving for something more than business, business itself is served and benefited.

The motto, "One for All, and All for One," takes in all that contributes to the growth and prosperity of the real, home town--the "town of happiness." The best advertisement any town could have is to say of it: "The people pull together there." That is the real, progressive home Courier-Journal. HOUSE SHOULD BE INSULATED From the Standpoint of Health and Comfort, Proceeding Ought to Be Considered Imperative. Besides being a most effective insulation, some materials act as a substitute for lumber in outside sheathing, as a plaster base and as an interior finish for rooms. Taking into account the materials displaced, eliminated and reduced, there are many cases in which the cost of insulation is fully offset and the home with insulation can be built as cheaply as one without it. An important advantage of insulating houses, not expressed in dollars and cents, is the uniformity of temperature they maintain.

Obviously, if the walls and roof offer effective resistance to the escape of heat, the ternperature of the room must remain more nearly constant than when heat is rapidly passing through the walls. Uniform temperature means comfort in every part of the room without the necessity of "hugging" the radiator. Uniform temperature prevents 111- ness and gives comfort. It is obvious that properly insulated buildings providing such economies and comforts during the winter months will prove exceptionally cool in the hot months of the year, as insulation effects a more evenly regulated temperature, keeping the heat out in summer as it keeps the heat inside in the winter. Failure to insulate a house, built at this time, is wasteful and inefficient.

Luminous House Numbers. One of the most disconcerting experiences of the city dweller is that of searching in the dark for a house number. If the hour is late, the situation is especially embarrassing, for the innocent visitor is liable to be mistaken for a prowler. But thanks to science, the old days are past, and the time is not far distant when probably every city house will be numbered with figures which are easily readable on the darkest night and at a considerable distance. A Chicago concern has adapted the use of luminous radium to house numbering signs, and the idea is being received with great favor by the public.

The first cost is reasonable, and there is no upkeep cost, the sign being selfluminous and requiring no attention. The product is guaranteed to show light in the dark for five years, although the actual life is much longer. Plant at Once. To make sure that the planting of shrubs, trees and plants is well begun, we must go back to the time when the delivery man brings in that interesting looking box or bale and you begin to open it with ill-concealed excitement. If nursery stock is not to be planted at once it is better to leave it in its package after partially opening it and wetting the roots thoroughly.

If several days must intervene before it can be planted, it is advisable to "heel" in trees and shrubs, that is, dig a temporary trench and cover the roots thoroughly, so that the air will not reach them. Remember that the natural place for roots is in the ground, and the shorter the time between digging in the nursery and replanting in the yard the better. When possible, the beds for shrubs and flowers should be prepared well in advance in order to allow the soil to settle. Plant Trees Now. With the gigantic road-building program before the states, plans should certainly be made now for tree-lined approaches to every town.

First impressions are everything with an individual, and so with a community. It is all very well to put up the welcome sign at either end of the town limits, but why not look the part with some inviting trees? The American Tree association is making every tree planter a member. Why not have the entire community join in this tree-planting movement?

CAR STRUCK AND TURNS OVER Miss Mary Humphrey in HospitalDriver Speeds on Miss Mary Humphrey is in a hospital at DuBois with her right clavicle and right femur fractured, gether with other injuries, as a result of an automobile crash near Brockwayville last Friday evening. She is recovering. Emil Dangotte, of Punxsutawney, who was driving, also has a collar bone broken and is in the Punxsutawney Hospital.

He, too, is in no danger. Other passengers were Miss Catherine Lyle and Harold E. Briggs, of Brookville, and Lucien Dangotte, of Punxsutawney, brother of the driver. None of them suffered injuries of consequence. Another car sideswiped the Dangotte machine, hurling it down a bank; it turned over three times in the roll.

The driver of the car which hit it never stopped, and in the confusion it was impossible to ascertain his license number.

The different kinds 01' salt are: Vacuum pan, grainer, open pan, solar, and rock salt, depending on the method of production or origin. These different types of salt may be used for the same purposes, but obviously certain types are better adapted for a specific purpose than are others. Vacuum pan salt, by virtue of its fineness and purity, is particularly suitable for table and dairy purposes. It is better known in the trade as lated. To render certain grades of table or fine dairy salt moisture proof, and to make them run as freely as possible, a small amount, usually not more than 1 per cent, of some non-hygroscopic substance, like magnesium or calcium carbonate, is used to coat the grains.

The product is the familiar "shaker," or free-running salt, says the Engineering and Mining JournalPress of New York. FITTING YOUR PERSONALITY It's just as important as fitting your figure!
