LADY..-Please give me No. IS.
GAS C0...-This is No. 9S-..The Gas and Elec-
trio Co.
LADY---This is Mrs, - at -. M
neighbor has just had you put gas in her
kitchen and wanted to have you tell
me about it as she is just tickled with it.
GAS CO...-Yes, we sold Mrs. one of
our large Sl650 gas stoves that have
top burners and a large oven for bak-
ing with a second broiling compartment
underneath. and connected it free and
had to run the pipe from the street, all
for $l650.
LADY.--Why Mrs.--told me she paid
$2750.
GAS Co., Oh. Yes She had our gas ex-
pert call TO tell her how to operate 1t
most economically and how she could get
hot water i'll minutes in the sink and
wash bowl and tub or wherever she
wanted it, We furnished and installed
one of these Water Heaters complete
with water and gas connections for
" $1lo0.
LADY. What does it cost to run gas
stove and water heater.
GAS Colt depends entirely on you or your
servant For the same money you can do
more cooking and heating and do 1t
quicker, cooler and cleaner with gas than
with coal or anything else and we will
set quarter meter for you, if you pre-
fer 50 you can always know how much
il costs
LADY---We have Just had such heavy NOV
ing expenses that feel we can't afford to
pay $3.50 for the stove and water heat
er, OF even $l650 for the stove, this
month.
GAS CO. .-.Oh, that will be all right. You
can pay us $500 down and ST. 90, or more
per month until paid for, if you prefer.
LADY---Well. my neighbors are all so pleased
with it and two of them who have all gas
kitchens tell me that they wouldn't have
coal stove in the house again IF COAL
WAS FREE because gas is always such
comfort the year around will probably
want coke heater this fall, too, but
please have your expert call this morning
and explain it all to me if it doesn't cost
too much
GAS C0.---0h no, there is no charge to have

The ST. Paul Review grows

to go around to suit Eberhart,
and sane democratic incumbents
refuse to resign. The executive

recent essay on a democratic

went on the recent annual excur-

Association gives 40 names. Of
these is were bona fde news

daughters, Z unclassifed but who
went along because of pull, D
attaches of city publications,
one member of the executive
committee who runs a patent in
side business but who has not
been publisher for years and
years, an officer of the associa-
ton who prints a secret order
publication. Both the last two
had their wives with them.) To
leaven the bunch were two men.
one a professional politician sent
along to look after the interests
of the state republican ma

who wants to be governor, but
who never put in a day in the
newspaper business. So far as
known the prohibitionists were
not represented.

day. However, the fair associa-

out even financially. 1t was lib

the townspeople- and by many

The esteemed Duluth Herald
has polled the legislature on the
question of reapportionment and

By attacking the progressive
wing of his own party the pres.
ident of the United States is very
likely to produce one of two re-
suits, namely, to elect as presi.
dent in 1912, one of those same
progressives or a mocra t.
And this is the same man who
but a few brief months age
pleaded at Winona for party
solidarity"

Increasing Life of Tungsten

The hot wire system for tungsten
lamps is being used on eastern rail-
roads to minimize breakage. small
current, keeping the filament at dull
red, is always on the line, thus giving
longer life to the filament, says
Popular Electricity. The lamps are
lighted from storage batteries at 60
volts, this being reduced to four volts
when the lamps are extinguished.

Is it possible that Whittier has
an understanding with the state

existing conditions.

The Little Fails Daily Tran
script is panied because The
Herald calls attention to the an

ST. Cloud Journal Press, and
voices the Idea, though not in SO
many words, that it pays to
knock when there's something
in it for the knocker. That's
the old idea of politics, but the
people havn't very much use for
it nowadays.

XII OF the order Hymenoptera. the bees
and ants. lay large numbers, but they
are easily excelled by the order Plecop-
terra, the stone flies, one female of
which deposits from 5000 TO G.0O0 eggs
But the champion egg layers are the
insects embraced in the order Isoptera,
the white ants. DR.. Howard states
that these insects are called white ants
because they are not ants and because
they are not white, but he further goes
on TO tell us that the females of some
of the African species grow TO an enor-
nous size, and their abdomen. swollen
with eggs, becomes as big as large
potato. The rate at which the eggs
are laid is extraordinary. being about

thought he was the subject Of some

This incident brought forth a story
about the chief of police of Oakland

the question before he discovered that
she wanted butcher shop and not the

THE GRIMM ALFALFA.

The hope for alfalfa raising north
of latitude AZ degrees seems to rest
on the Grimm alfalfa. the history of
which Is full of interest. Early In
the tifties there lived near the village
of Kulsheim. in the grand duchy of
Baden. Germany. a substantial and
progressive peasant by the name of
Grimm. There had been grown for
three or four hundred years in the val
ley where he made his home a strain
of true alfalfa. But In Grimm's patch
this became crossed with the wild yell
low lowered sickle lucerne. At this
stage of the game. In 1857, Grimm
county, Mimi. and. as good fortune
would have 1t. brought with him a few
pounds Of seed from this mixed field
and sowed it Most Of the plants which
the seed produced died. but a few
lived. and In time this type of alfalfa
got used to 20 and 30 degrees below
zero weather Of the Minnesota winter
Grimm made money raising 1t. and so
did his neighbors. but only recently has
the full value of the service rendered
by this hardy Teuton been appreciated.
That he succeeded In producing a type
of alfalfa possessing exceptional hardi-
ness was shown not long ago when
plants raised from seed procured from
Grimm's native German valley were
given winter test alongside those of
the ncclimati zad Grimm yoriatv II
was found that rs per cent of the for
mer, but only 8 per cent OF the latter
winter killed.
