THE ELECTRIC SHOW
Reached the High.water Mark Of
Electrical Exhibitions.

which was brought tC q close last
Saturday night was beyond question
the most elaborate and successful ex-
hibition of the kind ever witnessed IN
the middle west. From the time the
doors were thrown open to permit
the public to view the thousands of
electrical appliances that have been
developed within the past few years
for use in the modern home, factory
and office, until the hour of closing,
a constant stream of spectators wend-
ed their way through the isles of the
large armory to became acquainted
with the latest finished products of
the scientific world.
The exhibit Of the Minneapolis Cen
eral Electric Co. combined many of
these features in a unique way. 1t
consisted of cross-section of a mod
ern house, equipped from basement
to garnet with up-to-date furnishings.
At a glance, the spectator could see
the electric Lighting system, the
washing-machine equipped with an
electric motor, the sewing-machine
run by electricity. the electric heater,
the electric toaster, the coffee pot
with it's attachment for boiling coffee
by electricity, the electric flat-iron,
and every other contrivance in which
electricity is now used in the home.
The electric show is an institution
we'll worth patronizing, if for no other
reason than the education to be de-
rived from a careful survey of the
exhibits to be seen there. BY means
of it, the latest mechanical inven-
lions are assembled under one roof,
and so arranged that at a nominal
cost and with a minimum expenditure
of time, the general public may see
what the scientific world is accom-
plishing year by year, and in addition
get valuable information on how to
improve the hygienic conditions in
their own homes. On heating, light
ing and ventilating, the healthfulness
of our dwellings and public build
ings largely depends. The electric
show furnished exhibits at which the
latest perfection in heating, lighting
and ventilating was shown, as we'll as
hundreds of other exhibits which fur
nished ideas on how to add to the
comfort of the fully furnished dwell
ing of today.
| The electric show is mutually ad-
vantageous to the public and to the
merchant who handles electrical con-
trivances. 1t enables the merchant to
get his articles before the public, and
1t affords the prospective purchaser
an opportunity of inspecting the lat
est and best articles in the line in
which he is interested with the least
inconvenience.
The numerous, almost unbelievable,
uses made of electricity liz the won
der Of our time. The impossibility Of
yesterday is becoming the common
place of today with such uninterrupted
regularity that the world is no longer
amazed by things which, few years
ago, would be considered startling.
AS much as electrical science has
revolutionized the modern world, sci
entists are ready to expect still
greater things in the future. To keep
the public in touch with this great
work is the function Of the electric
show-a function which is commend
able.

A PRACTICAL METHOD OF HIRING
One Of the most successful farm
ers and handlers of men In the north
west has for years followed the some
what novel plan outlined below:
When hiring a man he engages him
for the entire season, say for eight
months, at 4 total Of $24O. Assuming
the time Of beginning work to be
April and May with SIS per month.
In June credit of $50 is placed to
his account. July he receives cred
n of $22. During August this amount
is raised to $50, and in SeptembeF,
when harvest wages begin to appeal
to the man hired on the ordinary fiat
schedule his months credit Is $35.
There remains due him for the entire
period 1913, which is distributed over
the remaining two months.
This secures the farmer from loss
by the hands quitting without cause.

man who hires out. He knows Just
what he is to have each month of the
period, and if he leaves before hrs
time is out there can he no disputes
as to the amount due him. This
plan eliminates lost time for rainy
days, and TT assures to the man who
totes fair" fair rate for the en-
tire season. and in addition to that
holds out to him the inducement Of
excellent wages during the late fall.
On the other hand by this method
the farmer is protected against the
common practice of quitting at the
beginning Of harvest. Altogether the
plan commends itself to the careful
attention Of the business farmer
