Electricity Produces the Copper for
Our Pennies.

The copper cent is a product Of
electricity.
Almost pure copper is used to
make our only copper coin. This
pure copper is secured by an cleo
trio process. In the old days it was
a very expensive process to refine
copper ore and the resultant copper
was far from being pure. Now this
refining is done by electricity, much
the same way as electro-plating is
accomplished. The copper ore is
placed in a tank near the positive
plate of battery and the electric
current turned on. The copper is
rapidly broken UP into minute par
ticles, called atoms, which are car
ried through the water by the pass
age of electricity and deposited on
the negative plate of the tank. The
result is known as ''eleCtrolytic
copper which is the purest known
in the metal industry.

ed licenses to sell intoxicating Ii

being J. H. Bolton, SEVERN Gillund
and Ole N. Nelson. All these places
are on the west side. Applications
for licenses had been received from
=. p. koppang and A. G. Wickman
on the east side but neither have
thus far complied with the require
ments of the council. It is claimed
that Mr.. koppang either has or will
withdraw his application, as he is
not anxious to enter the business
again. Only one more saloon, in
addition to the three now running,
can be licensed under the law. Ma
yor Wittensten says it is his inten-
ton to make every saloon keeper
live up to the laws regulating the
liquor traffic, as closely as it is pos
sible to do so.

Pure SEED GRAIN
ASSOCIATION FORMED
ORGANIZATION EFFECTED AT a
MEETING HELD HERE LAST
SATURDAY

A meeting Of farmers interested
in the organization of a Marshall
County Pure Seed Growers associa-
ton was held here last Saturday af-
ternOon, L. L. Lamberson presiding.
Prof. C. P. Bull, of the State Agri-
cultural College at st. Anthony Park
was present and spoke of the Dene-
fits to be derived from such an or
ganization and of the value of CO.
operation among farmers in general.
By using one variety Of seed in a
neighborhood and breeding same up
on the same plan as may be done
with livestock, it is possible to pro-
duce a grain of such high and uni
form excellence that the communi-
ty may become noted for producing
such grain. That is what has hap
pened at Cokato, where the farmers
some years ago agreed among them
selves to raise only one or two va
rieties of corn and oats. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Bulls address,
several farmers expressed them
selves in favor of organizing Pure
Seed Growers association and res
olution to form such an organiza-
ton carried by unanimous vote.
a. A. Ayers was chosen as president
and Ole Neraal, director of agricul-
ture in the Warren High School, as
secretary, and these gentlemen with
G. A. Tullar constitute an executive
committee. A vice president is to
be appointed from each town join
ing the association.
This is a very important move
and if taken hold Of in earnest will
do wonders for the development of
agriculture in this section.

pecially among the older people,
that electricity in the housewife at
tract the lightning during a thunder
shower. 1t is no uncommon sight
to see men and women turning out
the electric lamps and getting as far
as possible from the electric fix
lures during a severe thunder
shower.
lightning does not follow along
electric light wires, except in rare
instances and then to no great
amount. If a large amount Of
lightning attempted to follow an
electric wire along the street il
would instantly burn up the wire. If
a small portion of a lightning dis
charge attempted to enter the house
via the electric light wires there is a
little device located UP in the attic,
or down in the cellar, which is call
ed fuse box designed purposely
to prevent any such entrance. The
fuse is bit of lead wire inserted
in the electric circuit in such a
manner that any attempt to force
a large current overthe circuit will
instantly melt thelead wire and stop
the flow of current. With the fuse
melted out there is an inch or more
Of air gap between the house wires
and the street, which is quite
enough to stop any ordinary circuit
which might try to run among the
house wires. Current heavy enough
to jump such an air gap would es-
cape down the light pole outside.
The idea that electric motors,
electric latirons or any other cleo
trio devices for the home can Tex
plode" is ridiculous. No dangerous
explosives enter into their CON
.struction. Electricity itself cannot
explode. It does not burn. Danger
Gus shocks exist only in the i'm
agination.
For years and years fire insurance
companies have kept accurate re-
cords OF fire causes and they have
determined that electricity causes
fewer fires than gasoline, kerosene,
matches, gas and other things in
daily use about the house.
