Stock companies are common,
but the proposition to organize a
stock company for the purpose OF
growing apples in Sussex County
Delaware, appeals to the fnanciers
Of this section favorably. If those
who have seriously considered the
proposition will get together and
organize, we feel confident that
practical results will follow. We
see that the same idea has been
broached at Dover, and a company
incorporated, and the first in the
field will be the first to reap results.

A KiIOwatt and What 1t will Do.

Electricity is measured b. the
kilowatt hour. The rates for buy
ing current from the electric light
plant for power, light or heat, or
for charging the electric runabout,
are always so much for each kilo.
watt hour of electricity consumed.
This is just So much Greek to the
average man and if you tell him a
kilowatt is one-and-one-third horse
power he will only get a faint idea
of what it is all about.
To explain the term needs, first,
a clear definition, and then a COM
parison. Everyone will understand
chat a certain amount of force
must be used to drive electric cur
rent through a circuit. This force
is measured by volts; thus we have
GIo-volt currents and 22o-volt cur
rents, the one expressing just twice
the force of the other; but the
quantity of current passing through
a circuit depends upon the force
and the resistance, and so the
quantity is expressed by different
term, viz, amperes."
Now the efficiency of the current
depends upon both force and guam
tity, and to express this efficiency
or united action we multiply the
force by the quantity-that is, the
volts by the amperes and express
the results in watts. Thus no
volts multiplied by S amperes is
$50 watts, or 22O volts multiplied
by S amperes is 100 watts. A
kilowatt is, of course, 1000 watts,
which is the equivalent of about
I e horsepower.
In charging a battery the light
ing companies bill for the use ofso !
many waits for so many hours
thus, 1000 watts for 10 hours would |
be charged as 10 kilowatt hours, !
at 5 cents a kilowatt hour, |
would be so cents, a charge that
seems little enough for 10 hours
1se Of I 3 horsepower.
But what a kilowatt hour is worth
nay be judged by what it will do.
Thus a kilowatt hour, figures an
engineer of the General Electric
Company, will light twenty 10
.andlepower incandescent lamps or
wo standard arc lamps for one hour
will pump 100 gallons of water
o height or rs feet; compress 40
ubic feet of free air 100 pounds;
rive an ordinary passenger eleva-
or I75 feet; print 1900 circulars on
I5x2I job press, or 1000 sheets
n 32x47 cylinder press; run a
ewing machine for 2 hours; supply
ir for a church organ for one ser
ice; mix ~ cubic yards of con
rete; heat two pint chafng dish
Or tour hours; mix sufficient dough
or $50 loaves of bread, and grind
90 pounds of coffee; it will drive
runabout ~ miles or a three
On truck one mile.

THE charges preferred by ex-Con-
gressman Handy, of cruel practices
at the Ferris Reform School at Will
mington, call for prompt investiga-
ton, and swift punishment should
they be substantiated. Mr.. Handy
in giving the matter publicity made
his statement, plain, specific and
in such concrete form, that the
trustees should be able to run down
any or all who may have been
guilty. We realize that unrully
boys will resort to any suberfuge to
build up a case which will reflect
them as martyrs, or get those who
have the care, or punishment Of
them, into trOuble;-but this is a
public institution and it is due that
even a false accusation shall be run
out and be clearly proven. Let the
facts be laid bare.

IF there should be abnormal tides
or tremblings of the earth either
today or even tomorrow, there need
be no alarm felt over any impend-
ing disaster; it can be accounted
for by the fact that the Legislative
reunion is taking place, and the
senators and representatives are dis
porting themselves at Bethany
Beach, just below Ocean View on
the Atlantic coast shore Of Della
ware. All the necessities for the
comfort of the law makers have
been provided, and Senator Connor
is the chief manager, so it is not
likely that any incident will mar
the pleasure Of this reunion Of
those who fought in the halls of
our old State House last winter.
While the ride up and down the
Indian River may not be as excit-
ing as that on the Mississippi,
when the reunion was held there
four years ago, yet it will be long
in the memory Of those who partic-
ipate.

THE Kent County Levy Court
has undoubtedly permitted the door
Of the county treasury to be pried
open for the purpose of making fat
pickings in boarding prisoners.
The State Sentinel very plainly
shows the point up when it says
"There is a doubt about the ad-
visibility of the act of the Kent
County Levy Court in increasing
the allowance for feeding prisoners
in the county Jail. There is no
desire on the part Of any one, so
far as we know, to stint and starve
the prisoners in custody of the
Sheriff. There is doubt, however,
about furnishing them with the
quality and amount of food that
honest work people outside Of the
Jail cannot afford. A working man
getting from So to SI2 a week, who
has a wife and two or three child
rem, cannot afford to pay 80 cents
a day for the food of each member
of his family. He would have moth
ing left for rent or clothing or fuel.
We imagine, however, the fault
in this case is not in furnishing lux
uries to the prisoners-but one of
profit for the Sheriff"

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1909-10-03

The great Iowa state fair after an
eight days run closed today. Con-
spicuous among the lnnumerable ex'
hibits was the display Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture of North d.
kota. Foreign states are aware, more
than North Dakota herself, that some
very strenuous and fruitful advertis-
ing is being done on behalf Of the
State by w. c. Gilbreath, state CON-
missioner of agriculture and labor.
The exhibit at the Iowa state fair d.
rectly informed more than 100000 OF
Iowa's best people of the opportunities
the state offers for settlers and indus
tries. The good people Of the Hawk
eye state marveled at the display OF
grains such as wheats, oats, rye,
speltz, barley, millet; fax, all kinds

coast; using the Milwaukee; N. P. and
G. N. railways, and have lately seen
the crops that make us glad in North
Dakota. Furthermore they speak in
diligently Of the meaning of large
bands of sheep, herds of cattle and
horses being shipped as they rode
through the state.
Very few sought to express their
opinion that North Dakota would not
continue to make good; to these my
comparisons of several years as an in
habitant of Iowa, also of North Da-
kota, subdued their de-ogatory re-
marks. Three things I notice in con-
trast with our country: The people
move slower, the weather Is prone
to be murky and heavy and the pota-
toes are soggy. Iowa excells us in

most attention was large glass front

Of brick made at Hebron, etc. Many
of the visitors, seeing the fine display
of North Dakota corn thought we had

came from England, France, the Phil
ippines and practically every country
abroad and state in our country, I
find to be that North Dakota looks
more promising than any other Sec
ton of the newer country.
1t Is quite a relief, after five years
consecutive school work, to mingle
with so many people here, all !: of
whom think and speak SO well of our
state. The work of advertising the
states and placing before the foreign
states the products of North Dakota is
being done on spl ndid basis by
