Fourth Successful Show.

The fourth annual show of the How
ard County Poultry Association is il
progress at the Armory this week and
is more of a success than any of the
former shows. The exhibits numbe,
483, the largest in the history of the
association. Single Comb R. 1. Reds
are the largest class, the entries in this
vicinity numbering SO. In addition to
the large number of entries, they are
of superior quality and the exhibitor
who emerges from the contest with a
premium ribbon earns it. In the White
Wyandotte class the competition was
fierce and the 5th prize pullet had
score of over 95. F. A. Huber wins
the Purina cup for the highest scoring
bird with a S. c. R. 1. Red pullet scor-

Elma's Electric Light Plant Burns.

Elma's Electric Light Plant Burns.
New Era. About three o'clock Mon
day morning fire broke out in the Elma
electric light plant. 1t is thought to
have originated in pile of fine coal
near the furnace. Lynn Markham,
assistant to city electrician, Frank Cue,
was sleeping in the plant. He was
awakened by the smoke and after vain
ly trying to blow the whistle he gave
the alarm over the telephone and then
barely had time to get out of the build
ing. He lost all his tools, so also did
Mr.. Cue. The alarm was sounded to
the town by the ringing of church bells
and the blowing of the whistle on train
No. / which had just pulled in. Many
citizens responded to the call but moth
ing could be done to save the building.
Had it not been for the mantle of snow
that had fallen the day before it seems
certain that the business portion of the
west side of town would have been
wiped out. Sparks and burning Gin
ders were blown many rods, The build
ing was completely destroyed. 1t is not
known just what damage was done to
the machinery, but it is doubtful if any
of it can be used. The new dynamo in
stalled about two months ago was de-
stroyed. The plant was installed about
10 years ago. The loss is estimated at
about Sc, 300. Insurance $4,000.
The first question that suggests itself
is, "Will the plant be rebuilt?" There
is difference of opinion on this point,
but the majority of our citizens are in
favor of rebuilding. In fact there
seems to be no alternative. The town
has several thousands of dollars invest
ed in wires and poles about town and
the customers have hundreds of dollars
invested in wiring and fixtures. Some
method of lighting must be provided.
No other light is SO efficient, safe and
satisfactory as the electric light.
If the town decides torebuild, as un-
doubtedly it will, now is good time to
change from direct current to an
alternating system. The latter has
many advantages. Uses smaller lead
wire, can transmit the current farther
and more economically and can be used
for power
