THE
ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are so apparent that we are almost
ashamed TO talk about them They
stick right out like the nose Of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he had thought
Of It, IF man blow not his own
horn the same it shall not be
blowed." And our Office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under a
half bushcl.
Ro to save argument we arc will
ing to admit that there rs no light
that even approaches the electric
light in quantity Of light radiated
all around the room.
The quality Of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give strong, clear, vivid white
| light. That IS what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
Of it.
If our points are not clear toyot

A telephone in your house or

would cost you not less than ten

In a month this would foot up the

"As is well-known, Germany produces
vast quantities of potatoes and is COM
ing more and more to depend upon
this crop. They are frequently grown
over large area and are for the most
part planted and dug by hand. The
latter operation is assisted by means
of an ordinary plow. An American
engaged in selling harvesters in Ger
many informs me that he has had
several inquiries as to the prices and
efficiency of the potato planters and
diggers used in the United States. He
is of the opinion that in some of the
territory over which he has travelled,
American planters and diggers, drawn
by horses, could probably be sold in
paying quantities"
