ELECTRICITY AS lLLUMINANT
Commercial Value Was Not Developed
In This Country Until After the
Centennial Exhibition Of 1876.

The first experimental philosopher
TO discover that electric light could
be produced by dry battery was Sir
Humphry Dayy, who in 1910 exhibited
light three inches long, between car
bon points, before the Royal Society Of
London. But no commercial value was
attached to the use Of electricity as
an illuminant until more than half a
generation later. The Centennial ex-
hibition, held in Philadelphia in 1876,
really marks the era Of cli present
form OF electric light. though electric
lights had been In use abroad prior
to that time. The exhibition Of mod
! els and practical demonstrations Of
electric lights at Philadelphia IL 1876
attracted the attention Of scientists
and capitalists in this country, and the
first incandescent lamps and the first
arc system we're put to practical use
in a small way in 1876 The Brush
arc light gained favor in the begin
ming as the most adaptable for street
lighting, and Cleveland, o., the home
OF Charles Francis Brush, the invent
or, was the initial American city to
adopt tho arc system for street light.
ing
Since 1873 both the Brush arc sys-
tenn and the Edison incandescent sys-
tenn have developed.--Morley's Maga-
zine.

ISAIAH 4, SOCIETY REPORTER.

The prophet Isaiah, who lived ZOO
years before the birth Of Christ, was
in the estimation Of DIT, Emil G. Hirsch
OF Sinai temple, one OF the best So
ciety reporters that ever existed.
And as far as the manipulation Of
the eyebrow pencil, the application Of
the rabbits foot that has been dipped
in the rouge pot and toher little things
that go far in the toilet of the modern
woman, DR.. Hirsch believes that the
woman OF the year 1911 has not adj
yanced far beyond the Jewish women
who lived seven centuries before the
dawn OF the Christian era.
DIR. Hirsch in his address at Sinai
temple made these two interesting
statements and he asked any of his
hearers who might doubt his word to
read the third chapter OF Isaiah fol
yerification.
In this chapter" said Or. Hirsch
you will find a description of lady's
toilet which for detail rivals the mos
skillful society reporters information
about Mrs. Newly Feathered or Mrs
Newly wed. The prophet describes
minutely the rouge box. the pencil fo
the eyebrows and other minute details
Of the toilet of the women of that age
And, from what / know, I do not be
lieve that in this regard women Of TO
cay have progressed much beyon'
those Of that time.
DR.. Hirsch's statement came in tn
course Of his address, in which h
stated that the Bible was not a thee
logical work.
THE Bible contains very little abou
God" said Doctor Hirsch. 1T has t.
do for the most part with doings abou
men. with battles and other incidents.

tor Hirsch referred contains the TO

supscRIPrIoN RATEa.
MAKE cHIcKAsHA A BETTER COT
TON MARKET.

In outlining feasible work in the line
OF town building, we suggested a few
days ago the Importance Of making
Chickasha a better cotton market and
urged that movement to this end be
started without delay. We want to re
new this suggestion and emphasize it.
How ii is to be done?
FIRST Of all we must encourage the
growing Of more cotton in the trade
territory contiguous to Chickasha. We
are an earnest advocate Of crop diversi
fication and we don't care to see the
whole county turned into cotton field
we should raise some corn, some
wheat. some alfalfa and other crops
10 which our soil is adopted-but We
contend that too small an acreage Of
cotton which is sure crop in this
country, has been planted in the past
and it win help farmers and town peo-
pie to increase the acreage in the fu-
ture.
We cannot expect Chickasha to be-
come a great cotton market unless the
staple Is grown in sufficient quantity
To make it SO. A wall always goes up
at the opening of the cotton season
because there are not enough buyers
here, but depend upon il, if It becomes
known that 10000 bales Of cotton are
to be marketed here we shall have
plenty Of buyers and the competition
will be keen enough to make the staple
bring the top price. The farmer wants
competition among buyers and he will
not be satisfied unless he has It.
It has been proposed that the bust
ness men Of the city start a movement
10 encourage cotton growing by sup
plying to planters first class cotton
seed at actual cost or at the price
which he commonly pays for ordinary
seed. In case the farmer already has
old seed Of the common variety It is
suggested that he be allowed to ex
change it for improved seed, the differ
ence in price being paid out Of fund
to be raised. We believe some such
plan as this would pay; at any rate
the proposition is worthy Of careful
consideration by those Who want to see
Chiclasha become a eetton center. II
order to make this "a success i
would be necessary to begin at once
since the cotton planting season 4
rapidly approaching and the supply o
good seed is limited. The ginners ant
oil men Of the state everywhere are
advocating good seed and there is {
great demand for the first class ar
ticle.
In spite Of the drouth during thu
past two years, in those sections o
the state where farmers have grow
plenty Of cotton, the banks are bulglnl
with deposits and merchants have en-
ioyed a prosperous business. Condi
tons will be the same here, if we cal
make chickasha the market for 1000
bales Of cotton. This cannot be done
We delay action till next spring or mex
summer. but it can be brought abou
If we launch the right sort Of a cam
paign now and follow it up vigorousl!
Surely It is worth while to the bus
ness interests Of the city to undertak
such movement. Let US start it a
once
