WIND RUNS LIGHTING PLANT
House, Barns and Yards Illuminated
From Power Costing Nothing
Capacity Of Six Amperes.

What is probably the smallest farm
lighting plant in the country has been
installed on the farm Of dairyman
near Poynette. Wis. This tiny plant
supplies current for "a lamps and is
operated entirely by the farm wind
mill. at total cost Of few cents q
year for lubricating oil.
The farm consists of about 100
acres and is devoted to stock raising
and dairying. The power windmill is
IL feet In diameter. with vertical
shaft extending down the tower; at
tached to 1t are the power pulleys, etc.
In addition to driving the electric light
dynamo this mill is used to operate
drill press, grindstone, corn shelter.
small saw. washing machine. grain ele-
vator and feed grinder.
The dynamo is located in small
building at the base Of the windmill
tower. This dynamo has capacity
of six amperes at IS volts. or 0.2 kilo-
watts when driven at full speed of 450
revolutions a minute. The variations In
speed. due to irregularities in the
wind. are overcome by small auto
matte switch placed In the circuit be-
tween the generator and the storage
batteries. which prevents any acci-
dents to the apparatus by breaking"
the circuit when certain range OF
speed has been passed.

SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE
All Over America, the News of the
Marvellous Dandruff Cures of Par
isan Sage Has Spread

A few years ago there was introduced
into America a cure for dandruff, fall
ing hair and all scalp diseases
This hair renewer did not attract much
attention for some months until a pro-
gressive business man, hearing of several
almost magical cures, decided to tell the
American people of its mighty power to
destroy the deadly dandruff germ
Today, without any sensational or un-
truthful advertising, Partisan Sage is
used extensively in almost every town
in America. What has produced this
great demand? Simply this: Parisian
Sage does just what we are telling the
readers of this paper it win DO
We claim, and we back our claim with
our money back guarantee that Partisan
Sage is the most invigorating and reju-
venating hair tonic 1t cures dandruff
stops falling hair and itching scalp; it
makes the hair grow strong and vigorous,
yet soft and lustrous. Tt is the only
hair dressing that reaches the root bulb
of the hair and destroys the dandruff
germ.
And to the women who are reading this
simple statement of fact, we want to say
that Partisan Sage works wonders with
womens hair. 1t will turn dull harsh
and faded hair into beautiful iustrous
hair in a few days, and is the most pleas

1913 Football Changes
I1nmdteridl Says Expert
By J. S. ooUNsELMAN

The alterations in the football rules for
1918 are of little Importance and will have
no rerceptible effect upon the game as
seen in 1912.
The rule relating to a forward pass
crossing the end line of the grdiron, strik-
ing the goal posts or bar or any other
obstruction in the end zone was amended
to exclude cases in WHICH team at
tenpts a forward pass from behind its
own goal line.
As far as is known no team in the
south was found guilty of attempting a
forward pass from behind its own goal
last season on account of fear of losing
possession of the bal lat this danger point
1t is. therefore, at once evident that this
alteration will have no effect upon the
game The same may be said regarding
the rule which no longer allows a player
TO snap the ball back with the foot. No
record has thus far been seen of such
a marvellous feat.
The rule allowing quick kick from any
point behind the scrimmage line instead
of five yards back as formerly. is a good
one and should have some effect Under
the new rule, one defensive player will
always play further back to prevent
kick over his head instead of playing
close enough to the scrinmage line to
interfere with forward passing.
No close follower of the game in 1912
would advocate any radical changes in
the rules on account of their overwhelm-
ing success. It is the opinion of many
football experts. however, that few

WAR PENS
SIPS Paid for Pen Used to Sign the
Spanish American Treaty

The pens with which peace treaties
are signed invariable fetch high prices,
If the happen to find their way into
the market, and there are many people
who would be willing to draw a check
for two or three hundred pounds for
the pen that will be used to sign the
treaty of peace between the Balkan
States and Turkey.
1t is interesting TO know that when 1t
became public property that peace had
been proclaimed between Russia and
Japan. pen manufacturers in all parts
of the world sent supplies of their pens
to those engaged in drawing up the
treaty. hoping that the document would
be completed by the agency of their
wares. In order to avoid any unfair
discrimination between the pen makers
it was eventually decided to use quill
pens for the signing of the treaty
1t was a quill pen that was used by
Spanish commissioners when they put
their signatures to the treaty of peace
drawn up after hostilities had ceased
between america and Spain. This par
ticular pen, by the way, sold for E25
some time afterwards.
The pen used by the plenipotentiaries
in signing the memorable treaty of
Paris fell into the hands of the ex-
Empress Eugene. Apart from it's his

RUBE MARQUARD, NOTED EX-
LEMON OF GIANTS, DEVELOPS
THE ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT
OTHER BASEBALL BREVITIES
by WALTER MARcHAND.

New York, February o. (Special)-The
days can be counted now till the umpire
shouts, "Play ball" and the season of
1918 is open.
The magnates have finished UP this
share of the work and will so back into
their cages until next winter, leaving the
players to hold the center Of the stage, as
indeed they should. The hold out"
league has not been entirely dissolved,
but its membership is becoming nightly
attenuated. It's one thing to say you'll
play no ball except, but it's quite an
other thing to drop out of the game.
One of the funny things about this hold
out business is Rube Marquard. Me-
Graw was the butt of at least one joke
for every dollar he paid for Marquard, and
that was quite sum of dollars, before
the Rube earned a 1.-THE of his salary. lie
was regarded as the prize lemon of the
game. Nobody but McGraw would have
taken the trouble to hold and develop
him. Then as soon as he really began to
be ball player, he develops the artistic
temperament, becomes involved In an
ugly scandal and throws down on the man
that made it possible for him to get
place in "vodville."
OF course, Marauard will be missed by
the Giants, but l miss my guess II his
present course does not hurt him good
deal more than 1t will either McGraw or
the Giants.
The recent baseball meetings were as
tonishngly unproducfiye of trades. With
SO many new leaders entering the game 1t
was believed by many that lots of deals
would be made, but the presence of the
new men seems to have had the opposite
effect. Several of them have gone to
new clubs and have no real inside Idea

was willing to buy but nobody wanted to

Joe Tinker wanted catcher. Stallings

not have been averse TO a good SOUTH

TO strengthen these positions from shs

would not be surprising If the Boston Ma
tioEals traded Campbell some time before

would trade him rather than lose star
