For summer homes, farm houses
and residences where no electric light
service is furnished, or In homes
where a generous supply OF light Is
desired, the small electric light plant
will be found a genuine comfort, As
now made the outfit Is by no means
expensive and will last lifetime with
few insignificant repairs. Many OF
the machines now In common use on
farms for various purposes are really
more complicated than this.
AT recent test OF two horsepow-

the most difficult obstacles engineers
have ever encountered, the work has
been carried on for eight years. Part
of the gap, about 400 miles, is through

Judge Artman's Decision.

Judge Artman's decision in Indian
apoIis, Ind, a few days ago, that the
saloon has no legal existence, nor
can be given one by the state under
the guise Of license, gives a new i'm
petus to decisions heretofore rendered
by the highest courts Of this country.
Decisions are being made more and
more in accord with the law Of eter-
nal truth, and the people are learning
that the saloon exists only because Of
sufferance and not because Of right
As stated in the Prohibition Press
OF February 13: For forty years
the liquor business, secure behind the
bulwarks Of license, appetite, and ira
ditiOn, has laughed at the prohibi-
tiOnist's appeal and successfully main
tained its trade by a never-ceasing
food OF liquor advertising in the
press, the control Of politics, the 81
Iencing Of the pulpit, and the intimi-
datiOn Of the American voter. But
the near approach Of prohibition tri-
umph is heraIded on every side. Ev-
cry legislature in the United States,
save one or two, is today graphing
with the issue in some form or other
The church is organized for the over
throw OF the business, and this deci-
sion Of Judge Artman's shakes the
whole foundation Of the traffic In al
coholic liquors"

importers OF that commodity The
value Of copper imports in 1906 was
over SS7,00O,0OO, while the exports Of
copper amounted to over 100000 900
