Electrical Contracts Using Modern
Methods Have Done Much TO re-
ducc the Price of Fire Protection
and Insure Safety.

Electricity being the most modern
and up-to-date means of furnishing
light and power, those cities in which
electricity is used most extensively re-
fleet the progressivencss of its cit-
zens.
The Improvement and advancement
that has been made in Marion both
in the amount of electrical work that
has been done and the engineering
ability displayed reflects favorably on
those who have been at the head of
| this business for the past two years.
on all new wiring installation It re-
mains for the contractors to sugges,
modern means an1 methods to those
Who are not familiar with the progress
of the electrical business.
The recent Introduction of the Edi-
son Mazda lamp and scientifically de.
signed rehectors, have decreased ma
terially, the cost Of electric lighting,
advanced the quality of light, ana
completely changed method of illu-
mination and design of fixtures.
The electrical contractor using mod
ern methods of wiring has not only
made It possible to increase the quail
ity of the light at less cost but has
also enabled his customers to secure
a decrease in insurance rates. The
rules of the National Electric Code
have been adapted as standard by all
of the insurance companies and all
wiring conforming to those rules adds
additional fire hazard and in many
cases materially reduces insurance
rates
The Ohio inspection bureau fixes
all insurance rates in the state OF
Ohio and has corps of trained cleo
trical inspectors covering the entire
state. A certificate OF inspection is
sued by the Ohio inspection bureau
is a guarantee that the wiring is not
defective and that no increase in in
surance rates will be made, due to
electrical wiring.
At the time that the United Elec-
trio company was organized. the gem
eral public was not familiar with the
| benefits to be derived from an in
spection certificate or that the in
surance companies maintained

ior insurance might be based on the
amount of the risk.
1t was the determination of this
company to do all work i'm such a
manner that every job, when complet-
ed, would pass inspection and an ef-
fort was made to secure business on
this basis. 1t soon developed. how
ever, that the public, by not demand
ing certificates made the securing Of
business difficult under the competi-
tive bidding plan.
AS the electric light ami power com
panies in all of the larger cities had
laid down a fast rule that no wiring
installed would be or could be con-
nected to their lines until a certif-
cate of inspection was furnished. IL
was decided that what is good for the
la ger cities would be good for Ma
rion. Accordingly Mr.. ELI NJ. West
receiver of the c., ID. & NJ. Ry. CO..
was prevailed upon to issue an order
that an inspection would be demand
ed on all new wiring installations The
order was met with strenuous oppo-
sitlon from some quarters but with
out results. Stories were circulated
attacking the integrity of the fnspec-
tion bureau in which they were ac-
cused of favoritism, etc. In spite Of
all opposition the order met with the
approval Of local business men and
Chief Mcfarland of the fire depart
ment.
The United Electric company's busl-
ness has been built entirely on the
solid foundation Of quality. The inti-
mate knowledge of every phase of the
electrical business by Messrs Berry,
Closer and Graf, coupled with hon
est business methods and fair treat
mont to fits customers have put this
concern where It stands today, at the
head of the electrical development Of
Marion.
The United Electric company on ac-
count of its increased business found
it necessary TO incorporate and ac-
ordlngly a certificate was issued TO
the United Electric Supply Co. on Jan.
1st, 1912. The organization was per-
fected by electing A. ]. Berry, presi.
dent; Frank CLOSER, secretary and
treasurer, and G. U. Graf, general
manager. ....
by modern business methods and
enterprise the electrical supply and
contracting business in Marion has
been changed from a small contrac-
tors office on a side street with in
sufficient stock Of material and ques-
tionable credit, as is usually found
in city of this size, to one OF the
most progressive enterprises Of the
city.
Today this enterprise ranks far
above any similar institution in any
city the size of Marion in the state
of Ohio. 1t

Nobody knows who invented the bar
rel. II has been used since time imme-
moral.
Barrels are used for all manner OF arti-
cles, solid and liquid. There are barrels
for holding sugar, salt, apples, potatoes
and so on; for all sorts Of oils, from the
heaviest lubricants TO the most volatile
products OF petroleum; for beers, wines
and all sorts OF beverages. II is contend
ed that the barrel is the strongest strue-
ture OF IFS size that can be made from an
equal amount OF wood. Its contents are
frequently the strongest that can be made
from liquids.
The barrel has tremendous power OF
resistance to pressure from within and
from without. A barrel SET on end will,
il is claimed. support half the weight oi a
railway car while the truck is taken from
beneath for repairs. Yet the primitive
barrel is put together without nails,
screws, bolts or pins-it is entirely SELF
fastened.
The barrel is smaller at its end than II

Recently one OF Martinsburg'S faStid-
ious young men bought a pair OF oVeralls
and found the name OF the sewing girl
who made them. He very promptly
wrote her a letter with all the elusive
ness necessary in such case, and in due
time received reply, which, however
was void of the romance usual IN such
cases. Here il is:

do if married some silly noodle who
gets mashed on gnl he never saw.

better than a 47-cent pair OF breeches."

Little Leaks On the Farm.

The little leaks on the farm seem innu-
merable. Year after year the very same
leaks are to be found on the very same
farms, no apparent effort having been
made 10 check them temporarily or to
stop them permanently. Ii would seem
that they are accepted as matter OF
course, and because OF this an awakening
is needed.
The waste OF by-products on the av-
erage farm amounts TO many dollars dur
ing the year. If these were turned into
cash, the handsome sum realized would
be astonishing.
There is waste occasioned by poor
fences. Waste in both money and time.
Live stock will in an hours time ruin
enough OF a crop to more than pay for a
new fence.
We find high-priced farm machinery
unprotected and weather beaten standing
in various places about the farm.
If the housewife would set SIS sew
ing machine in the rain for an hour, she
would be branded as good-for- nothing,
careless housewife, and rightly so, but
what about the husband that leaves a Sl5O
binder in the rain, sun, snow and Sleet
lor months, and the corn plow where he
finished the last row OF corn, and the
wheat-drll half full OF wheat in the cor
ner OF the field until time TO use them
again?
Corn is thrown TO the hogs on muddy
ground, bushels at time, and halt OF it
is wasted. Good, fresh, warm separator
milk is poured into leaky trough to the
pigs, and the greater part OF il is permit
ted TO soak into the ground.
Live stock is not properly protected in
the winter, and a greater amount OF feed
is necessary. Hay and other roughdge
is fed in such manner that the greater
amount OF it is trampled under the ami
mails feet.
Manure is permitted TO lay in the barn.
yard and leach until the valuable proper
ties il contained are in the air or the ditch.
Nails are bought by the pound or by
the keg and thrown here and there on
the barn floor or elsewhere, never to be
| found when needed.
Harnesses are left unoiled and unre-
paired, and multitudinous little things al
lowed TO develop into waste OF big
things.
There is waste in time and energy in
not using brain power enough in planning
work to be done. Too many useless
steps taken, too many important minutes
lost by going the long way around when
a short cut could be easily made.
The average American farmer makes
money, communes with nature continu-
ously, lives in approved American style,
enjoys life thoroughly, but think OF his
bank account being doubled, just simply
by stopping the leaks
Watch the leaks; stop them. Watch
the little things, and the big things will
take care OF themselves.
