PROTECTION
PAINT-PROTECTION against depreciation—
just as necessary and wise as insurance-protec*
tion against fire!
And be certain that your paint protection is as re*
liable and dependable as your fire insurance.
Two-thirds the cost of a painting job is labor.
Her^e, to use the best paint adds but little to the
first cost. It is cheapest in the end.
Pure Prepared Paint and Phoenix Pure Paint are
made of only pure linseed oil, pure white lead and
pure pigments. ‘Cheaper” paints are made of cheap'
er materials, hence the film they form doesn’t “hold
up”—it doesn't last and it doesn't protect.
Ask any Fuller Dealer. Write for free book, “Your
Home as Others See It”—illustrated in colors—
suggests many color schemes. For all large jobs con*
suit a master painter.

ANOTHER COOLIDGE 1
STORY FROM WASH.
WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. 3.—
Here is an interesting “story” on
President Coolidge—purely fictitious,
course—which is being told around
Washington now: ;
“One day Mr. Coolidge was out i
riding with Harvey Firestone, the
tire manufacturer, Thomas Edison,
the inventor and Henry Ford the car
manufacturer. They were crossing
in a Lincoln automobile when a tire
blew out and they were forced to j
stop at one of the small repair shops j
along the country roads.
“Firestone got out and asked the
repair man if he had Firestone tires
and the man started to put one on
the machine. While the repair man
was working Firestone found he had
no bills with him and the man agreed
to take a check.
“As Firestone stepped inside the
shop to write a check, Ford got out
of the car to watch the man at work, j
“Do you know that the man who
makes those tirse is inside there now'
writing you a check?” Ford aasked.
The workman looked up and eyed
Ford suspiciously without comment.
“Do you know that the kindly
faced man you see sitting there is
Thomas Edison, the world’s greatest
inventor?” Ford continued.
The man snickered and said noth
ing.
“And do you know,” Ford went
on, “that I am the man who makes
these cars, Henry Ford?”
The man burst out laughing and
said: “And I suppose that other guy
is President Coolidge!”
“Yes” said Ford.
“Well, I cash no checks for this
gang,” the workman said, “give me
cash or off comes the tire.”
Big Profit Made By
Mayor of Wenatchee
WENATCHEE, Wn„ Dec. 3 (/P)—
Mayor C. B. Halbert announced that
he and his son had taken off a 314,325
apple crop from their ten acre tract,
while in 1919 the crop sold for 316,000.
The crop ran 1000 boxes to the acre
this year.
The Halbert orchard is planted to
Delicious, Winesaps, Rome Beauties,
Staymons, and Arkansas Blacks. Al
though the crop of the district this
year is somewhat below normal, in a
number of cases where especially fine
yelds were made, the price was high.
From a 4 1-2 acre tract, H. C. Lyons
picked 5,234 packed boxes of apples, j
Last year the orchard was frozen out,
but in 1923 4600 boxes were packed, i
thus averaging 1000 boxes to the acre
for two years.
Mrs. R. C. Barnum packed 2600
boxes from her six acre tract in East'
Wenatchee despite a heavy worm loss, i
TENNESSEE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
PROFIT FROM OLD LANDSALES
NASHVILLE, Dec. 3. (/^—Ten
nessee public schools will benefit
from the sale of “unclaimed and va
cant” lands when a defect is cured
in an act passed by the state legis
lature in 1903 making it mandatory
on the state to sell unclaimed lands.
Under the provisions of this old
law the untitled properties which
are considered state posessions must
be sold for cash and the proceeds re
vert to the state treasury for the
benefit of the schools. But the law
failed to designate any certain officer
to conduct the sale.
There are many thousands of acres
of such lands in the state, some
tracts wealthy in mineral deposits
and some containing valuable stands
of timber and others rich agricul
turally.
OVERCOAT FOR WHICH PEAK
NAMED BACK AFTER 28 YEARS
WENATCHEE, Wn„ Dec. 4. (£>)—
Washington State Forest Supervisor
Sylvester has received the weather
worn remains of an overcoat which
! he left on the summit of Overcoat
Peak in the Cascade Mountains 28
years ago. The garment was for
warded to him in an envelop.
Sylvester said he left the coat but
toned around a rock for use as a
signal when he completed surveying
in that region in 1897. The peak was
named from the coat.
