SPRING TOUCH OF WHITEWASH In the spring the farmer's fancy may rightly turn to thoughts df whitewash, for, after the long winter, the barns, and creamery, and home fences 'look much in need of being brightened up, !Even dwellers in the city or suburbs will find that an out- building -would be none the worse for spring, .touch -uta, And there is no- thing after all ,Metter or stit inexpen- sive as whitewash.

ROCKEFELLE,R DEAD AT 97 John D. .Rockefeller, Sr.. founder of one of the world's most colossal 1 p ri - vate fortunes and 'benefactor of hu- manity, flied In his 98th year on Sun- day, May 23, at his winter home in 'Ormond Beach, ,Florida. Death sante to the aged capitalist, who Icing ago had withdrawn from elle 117 111171,t of the financial world, at 4,05 o'clock, in the quiet of a Sabbath dawn, It was attributed to hardening of the heart muscles. 1t was, for the man who had fought his way from the .farm, who had seen tears and panics, boons and rlepressimis, a peaceful, painless death.

The body vas taken to the Rocke- feller estate at )Pocantico hills, Tarry- town, near 'New York, for funeral services, The funeral was private.

And we recall the nights when these were gingerly op- ened for •a time to ventilate, but care- fully. lest the "night air" raise havocpith health. The human race is certainly able to ':rke it, says Charles !lesser Stow, in the New Y'onk Sun, Our forebearers gasped for breath and sweltered and ,frayed for a "sea turn," if they lived at the coast, or if ,they 'lived inland :ire : _asped and sweltered. Yet they :r, i d and filled out their 'allotted 151 soft! were probably as healthy as ae are. There• were pcirebes of course, but rhe) were never used except 'for en- trance or egress, save only when o.esthless evenings made indoors in- tolerable. Then a chair or two was 'brought Out and some of the family sat well back, rather furtively lest someone passing on the street should see them. ,On the lawn ,possibly was a ,foun- tain, and if there were no shortage of water, a trickle might cascade down over the boy holding unt'brella. As for the garden, it was largely giv- en ,to vegetables. The dower ,garden, if any, was not arranged for sitting in, Sunnier clothes, too, were not the light, airy affairs of today. Alen's suits were about the sante weight as M cooler weather, but a concession might he made in the matter of a vest of linen, Women wore just as many petticoats in su:m"m.er as in . winter, though the materials were' usually thinner, Living in general was 'formal and stiff, still in the shackles of gentility, still bound by what people might say, ,Queteu Victoria influence, with its insistea,ce on suppression, was strong. Life was ruled l3ty convention, which is another name for tradition abused. ,Srrnmer means something quite different now than it't' did in those days, We have more cotpfort, more enjoyment and more real pleasu;e Qht a week than our .grandfathers had- in a whole season. We have freed ourselves from many of the inhibitions that held them, We have made outdoor homes of our gardens and tersces. We live on our porches. Awnit,p. keep out 'the sun so that we may have 'tysh air in our 'houses, We go much t,, the country club, and we go swiffl'y in motor cars instead of having t'o'ride behind horses, with c'�oucis di' dust over us. IMauy• of us 'live in air-condi- tioned homes with air purified and cooled and healthier than the air out- doors. Our clothes are seasonable,- made with the help of scientific ex peril -tient so that the utmost in ventil- ation and coolness may be attained in the cloth of which they are made. Yes, summer, A.D. 119317, is not to the feared, for man's ingenuitly has succeeded in making it more than bearable merely; it is recognized as a season of enjoyment,. So great importance do we attach to summer living and proper accout- ering of our homes for it ,that winter furniture might get many a hint from the lines of modern iron and rattan furniture that is made today- Because summer exemplifies especially inform- ality, the garden and porch furniture isfreer .front tradition than the pieces made for indoors. There is no neces- sity to adhere to the lines of a certain period. Outdoor living to of such re- eent slate that it has no hampering traditions of the Victorian age to fet- ter it. Whatever retakes for comfort told has lines of beauty is considered good. Could there be any better for- mula 'for designing anything in our homes? From the beginning the oil indus- try was highly speculative. Thons- ands of men with all sorts of business experience and :many inure with - no real training dashed into the field to get rich quick. It was a xoud deal the carne as it was many years later in Oklahoma', Texas and Sur:thern Cali- fornia.

When they formed the Standard Oil Company- of Ohio they hal the 1arg- eat refining business in. ,Cleveland. Nevertheless, they told their neigh- hors that, unless some sort .of organ-. ;zillion could be formed for mutual protection they could see that they,'as well as 'the others, would he wiped out. one by one, as the market fluctu- ated. .Accordingly Mr. Rockefeller first asked the largest firm among his comi etitors if it would care to ,loin forces with the Standard Oil comp- any, The offer was accepted at once.

'They were welcomed into the alliance of interests, as were Marty other concerns in !New • York, New Jersey, NewiEngland and the nil regions of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
