Electric Lights from Wind Mill

Wind-made electricity holds out the
promise of becoming a great boon to
rural districts; and the day is near at
hand when every farmer who has a
wind mill on his grounds can enjoy cleo
trio lights and the many other services
which electric power is capable of yield
ing. For many years, men have been
trying to convert wind power into cleo
tricity. R. W. Wilson, of Westfield,
Indiana, has worked out practicable
method of accomplishing it.
In producing windmade electricity,
Wilson calls upon the wind mill to per-
form its customary function cf pump
ing water. He leads the water into n
hydraulic regulator built on the princi-
Pile of water-lift in which the pressure
is controlled by weights, and from which
it is released by means of automatic
valves.
This regulator is the means of main
tanning an even pressure under all con-
ditions, whether the wind mill is revolv
ing fast or slow.
OLuei tHS uiiiioliti Pt SSoaiS' '''~ w.
er is passed from the hydraulic chamb-
er through water motor to which
dynamo is attached.
Mr.. Wilson demonstrates the success
of the invention at his own shop in
Westfeld, which is brightly lighted
with wind-made electricity, and to all
appearances it equals the steam-made
products that city folks enjoy. -Ex.

We were intending to do just
what the Editor did last week,
acknowledge and describe the
pamphlet sent US by Mr.. Warren.
Now that spring is coming it is
as well to remind the boys and
girls of what they can do in the
study of nature, and especially in
watching the birds. MIR. Warren
in his article in this column, last
spring suggests, that the dates
when migratory birds are seen
first in the spring, be kept and
their habits studied closely. We
know of children in the county
who last summer kept a list of
birds nests found. number of
eggs and kind, but did not des-
troy the nests. They often re-
turned to some of the nests, and
learned a great deal about birds.
Let others do the same and bet
ter this year.

The Government has spent 23,OOO trying to oust Senator Smoot from q $5,0O0 job. And he isn't busted Washington Post. This is not exactly cor rect. The government has spent this money in order to determine whether there is any truth in the charges that Senator Shoot is disqualified for the job, made by disappointed, revengeful politic- ians and some of their aiders and abetters, who imagine that the attack on Senator Shoot is an attack on a church to which they are unfriendly. The investiga- tion has not been damaging to Senator Shoot and there is, there fore, no probability of his being busted. But most of the testi- mony introduced against the Senator has been in the nature of expert testimony, and that al ways comes high.-Provo En- quirer.

The recent ruling of the depart ment of commerce and labor put ting Mexican immigrants on the same footing as other foreign in corners will work hardship on the labor agencies of the terri torres, and will interfere serious ly with railroad construction and mining in the territories for they depend upon Mexico for their labor supply. Under the ruling the Mexican must show that he is supplied with money and is not liable to become a public charge. The Mexican peon has anything else but a SUD- ply of money and as nothing else counts he Is shut out. 1t is, per haps, not strictly speaking, a new ruling, but the more rigid endorsements of an old rule Ma co Budget.
