kettles are handy and easily keep q
supply of hot water always on hand,
as, after the water is heated it
takes but a little current to keep it
hot.
The electric sterilizer and band
age heaters are the latest acquisi-
tions to the sick room and are of
fully as much service as the electric
heating pad and milk warmer.
The luminous electric radiator,
introduced in this country by the
General Electric company, is the
most perfect source of heat known.
At the snap of the switch the radi-
ator gives a flood of radiating heat
and a cheerful glow without gases,
odors and fire dangers. The heat
radiates thru the air warming the
room many times quicker than 9TH
err heaters or stoves of the non-lu-
minous sort which depend upon SET
ting up warm currents of air.
Evidence that electricity as q
source of heat is taking a very i'm
portant place in this impatient
world is that the Eagle hotel, in
Grand Rapids, Mich, has been
equipped with luminous electric
radiators. 1t is the first hotel in
the world to be heated with electri-
city. Nearly 500 homes in the same
city are using electric cooking de-

One of our leading citizens called
up the Tribune office this morning
and suggested that the necessary
steps be taken to change the gov.
eminent of Willmar to the Calves
ton plan. Under that plan the off.
ces Of city council and mayor are
abolished, and the city instead is
governed by board of five men.
Each one Of these men is at the
head Of a certain department and
is absolutely responsible for every.
thing done in his department. II
does away with the irresponsible
conditions of affairs where one man
depends upon the other or tries to
place the blame on someone else
when anything goes amiss. The
Tribune is inclined to think that
the adoption of the Galveston plar
would be good thing for Willmar.
The bill now before the Legislature
authorizing cities to adopt this plar
places the limit at 10000 popula.
tion or more. 1t would be neces.
sary to reduce the limit to 5000 t.
enable Willmar to come in.

paratus. In nearly every city or
village Boosting of an electric light
plant the electric heating and cook
ing devices are being utilized. The
Hillman house in Schenectady, N.
Y, and the home of ]. E. David
son, in Montpelier. VT, and M.
Georgia KNAPP, Of Troyes, France,
and the Sinsabaugh house at Car
rolton. ILL.,, are entirely equipped
with electricity and the results
have been even more satisfactory
and economical than when under
the old system. A number of the
large restaurants in this country
and abroad have installed electric
Kitchens. The bachelor-girl and
the plain, oldfashioned masculine
bachelor have adopted the cooking
devices and now they cook their
own breakfasts and luncheons in the
time it formerly took them to walk
to the restaurant. The tailors and
laundries use the electric irons; the
doctors use the electric heating de-
vices. Soldering irons, branding
irons, glue pots and a thousand 9TH
er things are heated bv electricity.
AS electricity dominates the
world Of light and power today. to.

A great deal of pains is properly
taken to inform the people of the
county how public money is expend-
ed, but the publicity should also
extend to the collection of taxes.
We believe that if the amount of
taxes each person pays was made
public it would tend to more just
and even assessments. In Illinois
the law provides that all the assess
ments must be published early in
July, in plenty of season to permit
complaints of unjust or inadequate
assessments to be made before the
county board of equalization. Such
a law would be a good thing ir

The rural mail patrons on the
Olivia route are kicking because
their mail does not come. They
have to go to Olivia to take the
mail home. Last week the carrier
missed four or five days. The Svea
carriers were around every day last
week, and have missed only three
days this winter on account of
snowstorms. Hurrah for Mr.. As
paas and Miss Simpach. They beat
the Bird Island R. 8 carrier, too.
Now, you patrons, donate some corn
for their horses, and they will stand
the bad roads next spring.
There is considerable talking
about railroads, but why not talk
about the public roads a little?
Why not fix the roads to Willmar,

miles. 1t is enough to cause doc

60 over that piece of road. Why
can't the township of Willmar place
that road in good condition?
