It is verynecessary that small re- pairs be made whenever their need is apparent, for "A stitch in time al- ways saves nine," A neglected dwell- ing soon gets a run -down -at -the -heel appearance, and the value depreciates rapidly. Whenever papering is to be done,. clean off the old paper by moistening with a whitewash brush dipped in hot water. Let soak awhile and the paper will come off quite readily. Then, with plaster of Paris mixed with milk to prevent it setting rapidly, or fibre plaster which is mixed with water and hardens so that it is of board -like solidity—fill up any cracks and any places where the baseboard has shrunk away from the plaster. Smooth off these places with a little sandpaper when they are dry, and a much better papering job will be pos- sible. Specify that your paper hanger will cut and match the paper at the cor- ners of the room; otherwise there e will be a twisted and broken appearance in a short time, because of the some- what uneven settling of the walls, and the fact that the paper was not crowded closely into the angle. Where worn door sills, splintered boards, or warped places in the floor show themselves, attend to the repair as soon as possible. Mark the warp- ed places with a small lead pencil mark as to where nailing is necessary. To nail when the warping is present, will nearly always break the tongue of the board or split it in the middle. When the heating plant is going, the floor will dry out—the boards will come back where they belong, and then the pencil marks will indicate just where the nailing should be done. Replace worn p or broken boards at once. A skillful carpenter or even a handy -man can cut there out and re- place them. The wood finish of some ready -built houses has a cheap appearance be- cause of its thinness and its quality. This effect may be relieved by pur- chasing suitable moulding at a lumber - mill. Have a earpenter take the meas- urements and attend to the mitering of the corners. Nail this moulding carefully in place about the doors and windows. Putty nail heads, and when the room is painted, or painted and enameled, the appearance will be wonderfully improved. COAXING THE MILK -DRINKING HABIT.

And it is possible now, only because the Chevrolet Car and Chevrolet business prin- ciples have been so universally and so favorably received. Chevrolet production has, as a result, rapidly grown in volume until now Chevrolet is the world's largest manufacturer of quality automobiles. Chevrolet quality is more than apparent. For, the more closely Chevrolet is examined and the more severe the tests demanded, the more con- vincingly is Chevrolet quality demonstrated and proved. Moreover, day by day continuous service brings out another economy equal, if not greater in importance, than . Chevrolet's remarkably low first cost. Chevrolet is more economical to operate than any other car built, and its main- tenance cost is the lowest in the world. Investigate Chevrolet yourself.

Newfoundland Government Protects Herds. by Limiting Bunt to Qne ,Per Year. Tit 1118 boglntng of the Year, n of iVIaxeh, after it practice wlalclll1as pre^ vaned for nearly (wo handred years, and accompanied by the elaborate ceremonial which has become tradi- tional, the Newfoundland sealing fleet left the port of St, John's foa' the Banks on its annual expedition, The sturdy craft from the Newfonnalland port were joined by ethers from St, John, New Brunswick,' and Halifax, Scotia, and altogether some ten vessels set out to'eugageln the 1024 baht, The sealing industry, exploiting the rich resource lying oft uie coasts of the island, is one of the most ancient 06 the • economlo activities' of New• foundland, originating in the year 1760, when the first expedition to the Banks took place. The commence• meat was on a very small gibd desul- tory scale, and for some years the an- nual catch did not exceed three or four thousand skins per season. With the increasing demand for oil and skins, however, the industry grew, and mora and more men and vessels earns to engage exclusively In it By the beginning of the nineteenth century the annual catch exceeded 60,000 skins. The Growth of the Industry. Of late years, due to the heavy toll exacted and the indiscriminate killing engaged in, the seal catch of New- foundland has fallen off somewhat. The industry is, in fact, In the process of being intelligently built up again ,at the present time under the conser- vative spupervislon of the Newtonnd- land Government. In the old days a single vessel has brought into St John's a catch of 42,000 shins, and a total of nearly 700,000seals have been taken by the entire Newfoundland fleet in a single Season. As recently as 190S, the catch numbered 213,868 seals, and that of the following year 260,320. The total catch in 1022 and 1023 was in the neighborhood of -127,- 000, f127,- 000, worth about $200,000. That of the present year is expected to be worth a little more. In line with every other phase of continental life, the sealing excursion from Newfoundland has been con- siderably modernized. The vessels engaged in the chase became larger and larger each year until they were almost entirely superseded by fast steamers, which not only facilitated the methods of the hunt but rendered it less arduous and hazardous. To- day, though there are a few sailing vessels 1a the expedition, the stainer is the most Important factor and ac- counts for, live•sixths of the Catch. Even so the dangers attendant upon Um annual visit to the ice floes have by no means been entirely eliminated, and itis no uncommon occurrence for a vessel to return to port with Its crew depleted. The Introduction of the Aeroplane. In the past few years the annual ex- pedition has been further brought up to date by the introduction of the aero- plane into its work. Previously the locating of tlie seal herds was done by men in the rigging of the ships, with a range of vision naturally limited. Tho plane now does this "spotting" for the fleet, having a visionary range of flfY miles. This machine has proved invaluable not only In locating. the schools, but in assisting In finding the bundles of shins at the end of the season which have been left the ice - breaks as the bunters proceed north. wards. The Newfoundland Government at the present time to endeavoring to once more build up the seal herds, and. affording them a manner of protection. One method of doing this Is limiting the hunt to one expedition per year. Once the fleet returns to port, no mat- ter what the extent of the catch, it never sets out a second time in the same year, but waits until the follow- ing spring. This spring excursion has become traditional in point of time and ceremonial, and each March the hardy fisher folk of the island set out, just as their forefathers have done for nearly two hundred years back, to on. gage in the hazards of taking toll of the northern lee floes. 0 The Quiet Dust.
