committee az a meeting Wednesday
night No schedule was decided

The committeeman are still dis
agreed over various phases of the
Z question. They have practically de-

be charged for residence lighting. IL
will be s or 10 cents for the first
2o or 30 hours and or cents for
more than that.
The aim has been 10 simplify the

10 know just how much current they
are using and how much they should

In fixing the other rates. how
ever. the committee is still up in

a rate that will be just TO the small

well as 20 the city. The system
employed by the private companies

What members OF the council ara

which the consumer with a small
load that Is carried for many hours
IS charged a comparatively less rate
than the consumer with large load
carried for only a short time Thus.
instead of furnishing a load OF 10
klloWatts for one hour to a single
consumer, the city would prefer to
supply l kilowatt TO 10 different
consumers for 10 hours and secure
much more revenue although sup

giving the reduction TO the man who

the scientists found one particular

known as formaldehyde. Another
scientist working along other lines
fade the important discovery that
formaldehyde was death to fungus
and bacterial life, and as a result
this product of ordinary wood smoke
has become one Of the most valuable

With these scientific discoveries as a

Dakota Experiment Station, searching
remedies for fungus diseases OF plants,
experimental with formaldehyde as a
treatment of oat seed. To his great
satisfaction he found that under Ger.

Some Creamery swindles.

When the creamery swindles that
are now being worked in various parts
of Missouri have been exposed, the ex.
posture will probably make communi-
ties really adapted to dairying over
cautious about engaging in the bust
ness. Professor r. NJ. Washburn, of
the Missouri Agricultural College, who
has wide experience in the creamery
business, gives the following informa-
ton that will help communities to de-
termne when 1t Is wise to build
creamery:
Wherever the milk from at least
four hundred cows cannot be guaran-
teed within a radius of FIVE miles"
says Professor Washburn, 1.-The cream
cry had better not be built. The cost
of making butter will be about six
cents per pound, and no farmer com.
pany can stand such expense. If FIVE
or six hundred cows can be secured In
the tive-mile radius, the cost of mai
ing pound of butter can be reduced
TO IL or cent, which is a probable
toSAo VI buSiL1Sot anu the
will benefit the community. A good
little creamery that can handle this
amount of business can be built and
equipped for $4,000 or $4,000. if the
community will let the creamery pro-
motors alone and buy an outfit of
some reputable manufacturer. If a
cheese factory is preferred for the
sac number of cows. it ought not to
cost more than $1,000 or $1,000"
A community which does Its own
thinking and organizing can establish
creamery very much better and al
very much less cost by dealing direct
with those who manufacture creamery
supplies. There are several firms in
this branch OF the business and they
are not hard to find. They will furnish
estimates and plans OF creameries
