WHITE WAY ON THE FARM.
With Only Five Families "A Missouri
Village Has Electric Lights

1arrow is probably the smallest vii
lage In Missouri that has an electric
light plant, a Kirksville (Mo.) CORE
spondent of the Kansas City Star says.
The population of Yarrow consists OF
the families of groceryman, a black
smith, miller and two retired farm
ers. Each family has it's home brill
liantly lighted by electricity.
The electric light plant is owned
and operated by Michael Weber, who
has for twenty years or more run an
old-fashioned water mill at Yarrow.
Mr.. Weber is an inventive man and
recently he conceived the idea of at
taching his water machinery to ten
horsepower dynamo and making cleo
tricity for himself and neighbors. A
dynamo was installed at nominal
cost and for the first time in the his
tory Of the village of Yarrow cleo
trio lights were turned on recently.
Mr.. Weber says he expects to put
in a larger dynamo and to light the
entire southwest corner of Adair coun-
W. He says further that the Charlton
river as source of water power
should be developed, as IL has great
possibilities for Kirksville and other
towns near the stream He is inter
ested in a project to put a $1,000 900
dam across the Charlton west of
Kirksville and to install a modern
power plant.
The dam that now furnishes power
for his mill IS only seven feet high
and was built in 1919 For years II
furnished the power for an old-fash-
toned under shot water wheel, but
more recently he has installed two
wheels OF comparatively late pattern
which now give him approximately
seventy-tlve horsepower which is suf-
ficient for grinding corn and buck
wheat and running the dynamo for his
light plant

FRENCH MAID OF ALL WORK.
Multifarious Duties of Bonnie on
Salary of $40 IA Month.

In Paris the post of servant is not an
easy one; this is, Of course, judging
the household to be one Of ordinary
means, with one maid or two at the
very most. An average French fam
lily having an income between 10000
and $4,000 francs year (Which is
considered comfortable here) will EN-
ploy one maid. She is known as a
bonnie a tout faire, maid of all work,
and the care Of the entire household
falls to hers Blanche Alder Van Blu
ren. writing in the Woman Beautiful,
says she rises at about 6 o'clock,
cleans the boots, brushes skirts and
coats and prepares the traditional
French breakfast of coffee and rolls.
She then takes the little ones to
school, as no children of good family
20 out alone. Upon her return mad
anne perhaps has Strengthened the bed
rooms and is ready to go out to mar
ket with the maid. Sometimes the
bonnie does the buying alone, espe-
cially when she has been with the
family some time or has gained the
confidence of her mistress. When
luncheon is safely on it's way the mis-
tress keeps an eye on its progress while
the bonnie goes for the children.
Luncheon is the first important meal
in the French home and consists OF
an egg or meat dish, a salad, a vege-
table and dessert Of cheese or fruit,
always ending WITH coffee. If the
children are not allowed to drink this
they are given a canard (duck), which
is lump of sugar dipped in coffee.
In the afternoon, when all is quiet,
the bonnie dresses neatly and settles
down to do the mending for the en-
tire family and to be ready to answer
the doorbell. Soon 1t Is time to bring
the little ones home from school,
after which she must prepare the
evening meal
Many families give the maid her
leisure after dinner, but this is a re-
cent innovation In certain families
the maid is still required to remain
in the evening to light chance guests
down the stairs, for the house lights
usually are extinguished at 1890, and
the invisible janitress pulls cord
near her bed to let the people In or
out after that hour This Is tradition
and when a mistress allows her
maid entire freedom after dark she
is departing from an old custom
The maid in France works hard and
Is allowed very limited leisure; she
Is supposed to have every other Sun
day afternoon and that is all. For
