Electricity for
Everything

Plymouth has every reason to feel
proud of its electric light equip
ment and power plant. When c. D.
SnOeberger came TO Plymouth from
Chicago, eight years ago. and pur-
chased from the Tri-State Loan
Company of Fort Wayne, the anti
quated electric system which was
then in vogue, people wondered at
his temerity. They had not. up till
that time, been educated to the va
rious uses of the electrical fluid
They had, in fact, little use for the
new tangled illuminant, as they
termed it.
With the coming of Mr. Snoeberg-
er. however. a new era In the light
ing business was inaugurated. He
started in on an educational and
puuIlClIN Cdhipd1-hs anu III Ooih-
paratively short time, he let the
public know the many various uses
electricity could be put TO. and he
demonstrated the savings that could
re effected in the lighting and power
1,lls by the adoption of electricity.
He had found the plant In very
bad shape: In fact there was nothing
to it, and the first thing to be done
was to renovate it completely, and
add TO it as business warranted.
With these changes made. and the
campaign bearing results, Mr. Snoe-
berger's perspieaeity was rewarded

to be kept in the institution until
they are tweney-one years of age.
The training school Is not an in
corpOrated institution; Mrs. Work
owns the property, but she is under
the strict supervision of the Board
of State Charities. which. each year.
sends an agent who makes thor
ough inspection of the institution,
and the mode of training In vogue
This inspection is not only thor
ough, but is complete and exhaus-
tive. At all times the work is car
ried on strictly under the law.
Has Large Farm.
One of the big features of Mrs.
Work s home is the farm in con-
nection with Brightside, which as
stated above, covers 27O acres. This
is equipped with the latest and most
improved farm machinery to be
found In the markets. Here the boys
are taught farming in the most sys-
tematic manner imaginable, by a
well qualified instructor, in all its,
different branches. Such crops as
alfalfa, timothy and clover hay,
corn, wheat rye and oats are raised
Not less than % acres are set aside
for potatoes required by the family,
while a splendid truck garden covers
Is acres. In this many kinds of
vegetables are grown. There is al
so sufficient pasturage for a herd
of twenty-five cattle, and twenty
head of mich cows.
Mrs. Work takes much interest In
the raising of hogs, and has attain
ed much success in this particular
line. Her herd includes many of a
prize strain, and registered stock,
the Berkshire and Durocs predomi-
mating, while the registered cattle
on the farm include several
Guernsey and Helsteins.
Many Children Placed In Homes.
Here is an important fact about
this institution which has not here
tofore been understood by tie public
and which answers emphatically those
critics who deign to comment on
what they term the small number Of
the children placed out from Bright
side. Since November l, 1910, until
November 4, 1911, sixty children
have been received at the home, md

Since the installation of electricity,
however, the cost to the city has
been reduced to about $4,000 per
month.
The local concern fills a large num-
Der of general construction contracts
In which electrical devices of all
kinds are used. This is a branch of
the business which is also making
steady progress, and the expert
workmanship, which is a feature Of
The Plymouth Electric Concern, has
tended much towards the success of
this department.
The new Tungsten lamps, which
are sold by Mr. Snoeberger, have
proved to be most popular In Plym-
outh. During the last two years
they have, to large extent, taken
the place Of the carbon lamp The
principal reason Tor this Is that they
effect a great saving In the light
bill, and give candle power three
times greater than the carbon lamp,
for the same money. Within the
last three months these lamps have
been improved by the substitution of
the wire drawing. which makes them
as near perfect as the ingenuity of
man can accomplish.
Plymouth ought to be proud of
the fact that it has the cheapest mo-
tor power In the state of Indiana,
and this is another reason why the
electric people here are succeeding

and comfort. and situated on a piece
of land which covers go acres.
When Mrs. Work started this
school. it was not with the object
of placing out children in homes.
This was merely secondary cOnsid-
Grafton. While this is so, however
many have been found comfortable
and happy homes by Mrs. Work, a
large percentage of them having
been adopted legally while in their
tender years, by respectable mar
ried couples who were without chill
dren of their own.
Cares for Crippled Children.
Mrs. Work is now making a spec
ialty of caring for crippled children,
who are not absolutely helpless.
This is branch of the work with
which she is thoroughly familiar, in
fact she has long specialized in 1t,
and much success has attended her
efforts. There could not possibly be
a more favorable spot for such help
less ones, than at Brightside with
its healthy environment and pictur-
esque situation.
Number one building is devoted
TO the administration department,
where are situated the superinten-
dent s Office, dining room and Office,
and division set apart for girls
ranging from to II years. Num-
Der two is devoted to boys, whose
ages range from 10 to 10 years.
Number three is for boys under ten
years, while number four is mixed
division for small boys and girls.
Numter five contains two large
kitchens, dining room, with a seat
ing capacity for 275; laundry, store
room, bakery and dairy. The larg-
er of the girls, whose ages range
from 15 to Is years, are kept in
tbs building where they receive an
admirable training, thorough in mat
tors pertaining to good housekeeping
which fit them we'll fer tie more i'm

There are at present 40 in this de-
partnent. from which many have
graduated to good positions with

in inducing the manufacturers to
use it in preference to any other
motive power.
Mr.. Snoeberger has staff of
seven all experts in the various lines
of the electrical business. He keeps
adding new improvements to his
plant as soon as they are introduced
on the market.
Mr.. Snoeberger's palatial resi-
dence on south Michigan street is
fitted throughout with a splendid
system of electricity Nothing is
wanting in the way of household
conveniences, all being operated by
electricity. For instance, all meals
of the household are cooked by this
means. while the washing, ironing,
toasting and other necessities pecu-
liar to a well regulated home, are all
done, and well done, by the means Of
electricity. Mrs. Snoeberger Is
enthusiastic over the result obtained
by this means which saves an enor-
nous amount of time, labor and
worry and which gives admirable
satisfaction in every respect.
There is undoubtedly prosperous
future in store for Mr.. Snoeberger's
enterprise, and he has sufficient
faith in Plymouth to warrant him
in extending and adding to his al
ready we'll equipped plant as the
necessity arises.

The Julia t. Work Training
Sch sol. which is situated among syl-
van beauties. one mile north of Ply
mouth. Is an institution of which
Marshall county is indeed proud.
In fact. the reputation which it has
made for itself. makes it favorably
known far beyond the confines of
this county. Its name. bright
side Is no misnomer; 1T Is as hap
py home. in the literal sense of
the term, as such a home could be.
There Is nothing about it to sug-
gest the tragic, nor yet is there any
signs amid its environment other
than brightness without and within.
Mrs Work has continuously de-
voted the past twenty-nine years of
her life to the study, care and train
ing of delinquent and semi-incor-
rigible Children period embracing
much self sacrifice, and no little
anxiety and worry. During that
time she has received and cared for
no less than 5000 children, the ma
jority of whom, under her guidance
and benign influence, have been
reared to a decent ana self-respecting
manhood and womanhood, while
many of them married, and nave be-
come fathers and mothers, fit to
look after their household duties In
a way that would not have been pos
sible without Mrs. Works admir-
able training.
On June 20, 1882, Mrs. Work took
up this work in Mishawaka, from
which city she moved to LaPorte,
where the character of the work was
maintained. In 1899 she removed to
Plymouth where she has remained
ever since. Here she established a
training school for delinquent and
semi-incorrigible children, which
has grown from small proportions.
