The boys' and girls' clubs met last Friday. They met separately. We notice the boys tip their hats more than usual. Wonder w h y ?

The seventh grade has finished its geography books by outline and is now reviewing products.

Colds have been quite numerous in the school lately. But with such changeable weather, we cannot wonder at it. Ina G. Patten, Teacher. * : — •

Here Are Four Things You Should Know when you put a roof on your house or barn.

How your shingles are seasoned? This is one of the most important things about shingles. If they are kiln dried they stand a good chance of being dried out too fast and too much. That makes them brittle and liable to crack in nailing.

"Half Century" Brand Shingles are all "air-cured"—nature's way—the best way. Are your shingles the right thickness? If too thin they are apt to •• curl" and warp. What kind of wood are they? Everybody who knows anything about woods knows

that some woods stand the "wear" of weather much better than others and that the wood that resists 'weather-wear" best is White Cedar

The right shingle nails to use.'' Half Century " Shingles outwear a common steel nail by a long, long margin. Use galvanized or copper nails The other kind soon rust out. «F o r ,a . . I i0 0( that will last your lifetime (and more) insist or* having Half Century Brand Shingles and use rust-resisting nails. -

And remember that white. Cedar Shingles take any color, shade or stain beautifully All lumber dealers can supply you. (Insist on seeing the trade-mark above on every bundle).

You will find it worth while to ask us for a copy of our booklet, "How to Lay a Shingle Roof." It's free
