PERFEc1lNG THE ELECTRIC IRON

No source of heat is so we'll adapted
tor ironing as electricity. which IL al
ways ready In an instant and eases to
be the very moment 1t Is dismissed.
Ironing by electricity banishes the hot.
dirty and bothersome stove and the op-
pressive. heated atmosphere of the laun-
dry. 1t saves countless steps and precious
energy. It saves about half the time and
permits the ironing or pressing to- be
done at any time or in any place from
the ladies' boudoir to the back porch.
The cost of operating is very slight, In
fact, less than any other method.
Although electric 6atirons have been on
the market or some wears lit must be
confessed that, for the most part they
were'but experiments. Some of them
proved more or less successful and not a
few were utter failures and more bother
than they were worth. But. be it known,
that every new development in this a9e
of invention is the direct result of ex-
perimentation. No great invention ever
leaped from nothing to perfection-it
is by far too long q cry. And so it has
been with the electric flatiron. .-
The electric f~latiron, the inventors
found could not be perfected as it ought
to be until a different and better heating
unit was discovered. The heat, in. an
electric f1atiron is the result of...the
electric energy working to get s.over
a certain resistance. This resistance
in the old irons was in the form of coils
of German silver wire which heated
nearly red hot when the electricity
flowed through it. 1t was to improve
this heating source that a small
army of scientists and inventors went
to work in their laboratories testing all
the common and rare metals and ex-
p%erimenting with the different alloys.
The result of all this laboratory
research was the discovery of ''calorite. "
a new high resistance alloy for a heat
ing element that has 70 times the
resistance of copper and three times
that of German silver. This new metal
is capable of withstanding oxidation
to a point several hundred degrees
hotter than any metal previously used
for electric heating purposes as it
melts only at the extreme temperature
of 2370 degrees Fahrenheit.
Nearly all Of the experimental electric
irons depend upon coils of German
silver wire or kindred alloys for the
necessary heat. But with the discovery
of ~''calorite" it is now possible to
stamp out a single fiat grid or leaf
shaped unit conforming to the face of
the iron; this a be clamped firmly
in the body of the iron insuring an
even distribution of heat over the work
ing surface and supplying the energy
where it is most needed, along the toe.
heel and side of the iron. The new leaf
unit is as durable as the iron itself.
With an indestructible heating unit
and good substantial plug and cord
connections there is nothing tn veal
out about an eleclri: iron and nothing
to get out of order. There is no reason
why such an iron should not wear 8
lifetime.

BEACH EASILY BEATEN
alEHULtiH THE NEXT

Although the weather was none too
favorable and had been threatening all
day a good crowd raj out to witness
the ball game last Sunday afternoon.
It was another case where the home boys
were too much for the visitors and Dick
inson took the game as easy az Beach
lost it.
In the first inning the locals COM
menced by pounding the ball and. with
the aid Of a few:errors by Beach, scored
four n In the third, a free pass,
q couple of hits and a sacrifice help6d
Dickinson to 2 more tallies. making Is
to the visitors O.
Beach had ar awakening in the fourth
inning and the way the Golden Valley
boys landed on the ball and made the
circuit of the bases wasn't slow. They
made five hits, not big ones but just
out of reach of fielders and when the
third man was finally put out the score
board showed s tallies for the visitors.
After this inning Beach made no more
runs. One hit a made but only three
men faced Davis in the 5th, 9th, 7th.
9Th and 9th innings.
Dickinson scored in the fourth and,
in the seventh, did the same as Beach
did in the fourth. Six hits and a
sacrifice were good for six runs. That's
about the whole story. Davis and
RAIDER were battery for the locals and
Phillips and Green were the points for
the visitors. About everybody got a
crack of the ball and some had no mercy
for the leather sphere. Mcbride seemed
to have the greatest erudge and sent the
thing clear to the fence. freeman made
three catches that retired the side in the
seventh. Lyle, of Beach did some
snappy playing while Williams for the
locals just played his usual but, it made
others take notice.
The game for Sunday with Glen, Ullin
ought TO be a good one. The visitors
have already payed several games and
should be in fine form. Dickinson has
grabbed the two games played this
season and is ready for more scalps.

FATHER clEARY MAKES
ELOQUENT APPEAL

obedience to the law is liberty -
This was the keynote of the lecture
given in the armory Wednesday evening
by Rev. FIR Cleary Of Minneapolis.
under the auspices of the Civic League
of this city. An audience of between
800 and 700 men and women listened
attentively to a very interesting address
by this noted speaker, who took for his
subject 'Liberty and Law.
He pointed out that this was a country
of freedom and that everyone had his
liberty but liberty does not mean free
dom to act in defiance of the laws of the
country. The laws are made for the
protection of the rights Of the citizens.
It is the duty of all the citizens to see
that the laws are enforced. He then
went on to show that the greatest of the
evils of this country is the liquor trade
and closed his address with a strong
plea for the enforcement Of the laws,
urging upon each one. his or her duty
to see that they were obeyed.
The chairman of the evening was F.
C. Heffron. Before dismissine the audi
ence Rev. F. L Watkins read the con-
stitution of the civic league, which has
for its purpose the betterment of local
conditions by enforcing the law. An
appeal was made to the audience to
express their approval and assistance
in the work by signing the constitution
and thus becoming members of the
league. An opportunity was given
those who wished to sign. of which
quite a number availed themselves.

at that point of which James Soules.
Roy Butler and he are owner. These

quantities and active preparations were
made for working the mines. They have

there with the option of buying and
expect that the venture will be a very
profitable one. The tests. already made
indicate that these gentlemen have

and their many Dickinson friends are
