Uses for Electricity.

Housewives can make electricity
serve them in many ways without
installing an expensive equipment,
says the Delineator for January.
The electric range, that must have
special wiring, is costly. But other
devices are within easier reach.
They are operated simply by attach
ing the connection to the electric
light socket, from which the ordin-
airy bulb is temporarily removed for
the purpose. Among these convent
ences is the electric flatiron main
tanned at the proper temperature
while moving over the ironing
board in action; the electric dining
room set of teakettle, chating-dish
and coffee percolator, which will
merrily cook on the breakfast table
the second course while you are eat
ing the first; and the electric heat:
ing-pad of elder down that takes
the place of the hot-water bottle.
Any Of these work at a cost of
about two cents an hour. Beyond
them there is so much that may be
done by electricity that it sounds
like story of East Indian magic.

INFLUENCE OF LOCAL PAPER

Interesting figures complied by
NJ. W. Lawrence, manager of two
arm journals circulating in Ohio and
Michigan, show that 771a per cent of
farmers of those states do not take
any of the popular national magazines.
In other states Mr.. Lawrence be-
lieyes this percentage will be found
to be even greater.
In many communities the local
PAPER must be the only reading mat
.er that enters the home. In some
cases it is everything from cookbook
to Bible Such paper must exercise
tremendous influence on public
opinion and upon the buying public.
The local merchant often fails to
see that he has right at hand the
means of combating mail order
houses. An advertisement in his
local paper will carry more weight
than all the catalogues and national
advertising that a mail order house
puts out.
Think it over, Mr. Merchant 1t
will pay you.

PAPER FROM coRNsTALks.

The chemists of the United States
department of agriculture have at last
solved the problem of how to turn
into paper the millions of tons OF
cornstalks wasted annually. After
years of experiment the department
now reports that the vast quantity OF
material heretofore considered value
less and destroyed every year by the
farmers of the country can be utilized
thus saving much of the remaining
wood reserve of the United States
and bringing about the manufacture
of paper from an annual crop.
The belief is freely expressed by
the scientists who have been con
Quoting these experiments that when
proper machinery is brought out, and
the farmers grow cornstalks in local
tiles where they can be moved cheaply
to the mill, the cost will be fully so
per cent less than paper now man
ufactured from wood. No special
growth of corn is required Scientific

The Carter bill which has been intro
duced in the u. S. Senate, providing
for the establishment of postal savings
banks, carries with it provisions which
are quite vicious in their nature. 1t
was Bryan's guarantee of bank de-
posits" plank that alone won him many
votes in the late election. 1t is the
same demand for security of the peoples
savings which favors the establishment
of postal saving banks. If the govern
ment would guarantee bank deposits,
we would hear nothing more of postal
savings banks. The establishment of
the latter would be detriment to the
banking interests of the country, and
therefore to all other business interests.
The great majority of the banks of the
country are safe aud stable enough un-
der normal conditions, and in panicky
times the postal savings banks would
only serve to create more havoc.
Let's have some system of guarantee
of bank deposits, but let us keep out of
the banking business as nation. The
annual deficit of the postoffice depart
ment is sufficiently large already.

all could not be lies. They were be-

penny from every male householder
and kiss from each lady who crossed
their path. AS a rule the privilege

Meanwhile the Hocktide jury were
sitting in solemn conclave appointing

ancient officers whose duties are more

requested the teachers of the county to
have their pupils memorize the follow
ing beautiful lines of verse:
There are loyal hearts, there are
spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and
true;
Then give to the world the best
you have
And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your life will
flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and a. score of hearts
will show
Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth and your gifts will be
paid in kind,
And honor will honor meet;
And smile that is sweet will sure
ly find
A smile that is just as sweet.
Give pity and sorrow to those who
mourn,
You will gather in flowers again,
The scattered seed from your
thoughts outbourne,
Though the sowing seemed but vain.
For life is the mirror of king and
slave,
'Tis just what we are and do,
Then give to the world the best
you have
And the best will come back to you
