Favors Sunday Baseball.

The house committee on criminal
jurisprudence made an adverse re-
commentator upon the bill prohibit
ing Sunday baseball, recommending
that it do not pass. In past sessions
such a recommendation, because the
bill is Il which shows up every two
years, has invariably precipitated a
lively and spirited debate, but on this
occasion not a mumur of d~isapproval
was heard.
The South Dakota legislature sent
to the house Friday morning a Joint
resolution which had been introduced
there and asked that it be acted upon
in a similar manner here. 1t was
a memorial to congress to amend the
constitution so that polygamous
cohabitation should be absolutely for
hidden.
A bill to empower circuit judges to
appoint an amicus curiae in divorce
cases was introduced in the senate by
Senator Methudy. In explanation of
the bill, Senator Methudy said that it
is to enable the trial Judge in default
cases to ascertain whether there is
collision between the parties. The
measure is one advocated by the st.
Louis Bar association.
Senate Bills introduced.
Among other senate bills were the
following:
By Mr.. Drunert: To revise the bank
ing laws of the state.
By Mr.. Wilson: Relating to appeals
in criminal cases.
By Mr.. Mayer: To enable st.
Joseph to amend its charter.
BY Mr.. Buford: To require man
ufacturers of binder Irvine to label it,
giving weight. Farmers, he said, had
complained Of short weight.
BY Mr.. Bradley: To carry into ef-
feet the initiative and referendum.
By Mr.. Allie: TO prohibit children in
the cities from peddling articles of
merchandise, chewing gum, ETC., at
unusual hours.

COOKING BY ELECTRICITY
BECOMING MORE GENERAL

Will the mountain streams and
mighty rivers cook our food and
heat our buildings some time in
the near future?
The electrical engineers of the
General Electric Company say they
will, after the coal is gone.
The scientists tell US that all
matter is made of tiny particles
called molecules. The kinetic theory
holds that these molecules are in
rapid hut irregular motion. If the
matter is warmed. it will increase
the velocity of these molecules; to
decrease their velocity is to cool the
hody. There is several ways in
which thing can be warmed. If
we take coin and rub it vigorously
upon the carpet. the molecules will
be set in motion and the coin will
grow quite hot; this heating by
friction. Placing the coin on the
hot stove would accomplish the
same result because the molecules
of the stove moving with great
rapidity, would jostle the coin
| molecules into rapid motion.
Another way to develop heat in
the coin would be to pass a current
of electricity through it. A nickel
coin would resist the flow of the
electrical current and all the elec.
tricity used up in overcoming this
resistance would be converted into
heat energy.
! It was an English physicist named
Joule who found that the amount
of heat developed by an electric
current could be accurately mea
sured. The amount of heat devel
oped from electricity depends upol
the current st, ength and the resist
ance it overcomes. A circuit tha
has twice the resistance but tn
! same current strength as another i
developing heat twice as fast as tn
second whereas a circuit that ha
twice the current strength but tn
same resistance as another is de
veloping heat four times as fast
= the other.

verse happened and he attempted
to use ..220 volt iron on a 10 volt
current, he would find that he could
scarcely get his iron more than
lukewarm. This is why all makers
of electric heating devices caution
intending purchasers to always
state voltage desired.
In all the electrical heating de-
vices the heat is secured by passing
electrical currents through resist
ance metal. These alloys are not
good conductors of electricity; they
resist it's passage and this re-
sistance produces heat in great
quantities.
Nearly all the smaller electric
heating devices may be connected
directly to the lamp socket, but
/ where the cooking is to be done
entirely by the mysterious force it
is best to install special heating
circuit both for convenience in
making suitable connections and
because the user can secure bet
ter rate for the current consumed
in such quantities.
The rates for the electric current
vary widely, depending on the cost
of generation, competition, etc., SC
it is impossible to state the exact
cost of operating electric heating
devices until the rates are known.
But with this knowledge, it is pos
sible to calculate running costs tt
a nicely that is quite impossible ir
other systems. Catalogues always
specify the watt consumption of tht
various devices because current i:
sold at so many cents per kilowatt
hour. A kilowatt hour is the con
sumption Of 1000 watts for on
hours time. Thus, if a devic
rated at 500 watts is used one hour
, the consumption is : one-half kilo
watt hour. A small water heate
> is rated at 300 watts. In five min
utes it will boil a pint of water
Let us see what the cost would b
> at ten cents per kilowatt.hour. Tn
800 watts is three-tenths of a kilo
watt and it used this amount fo
: one-half hour. The consumption
then, would be one--fortieth kile
watt-hour and the cost Of operatio
is seen to be one-fortieth Of te
cents or one-fourth cent.
The use of electricity for cookin
" purposes is becoming common

had been aillng long time and
death came as a relief from his
suffering. Bennie was born near
Prinsburg about II years ago. His
mother died of consumption about
nine years ago and almost from
that time it was feared that Bennie
too would pass away with the same
dreaded disease. All the past
spring and summer he has been very
poorly and no one thought he could
possibly live as long as he did. He
was quiet and lovable boy, and
it is with sad regret that, we see
him taken so early in life. He
leaves his father, step-mother, one
brother, and many other relatives
to mourn his early demise. Every
thing possible was done to ease his
suffering and for this Bennie was
very grateful. Saturday afternoon,
friends and relatives laid him be.
side his mother in the Prinsburg
church yard. Services were held
at the home of his grandparents,
