The Truth About
Electric Cooking

For large families where
the average domestic help is
employed and a large
amount of cooking done,
Electric Cooking will be
found more expensive, and
in most cases not advisable.
In small families, where
no help is employed, and
where nice equipment is de-
sired, Electric cooking will
be found many times more
convenient, more certain in
results and safer in opera
tion-as well as reasonable
liz cost.
In every family, a few
utensils for early breakfast
emergency and special uses
and for cheering up cold
meals with a warm dish or
two--is highly advisable
from every standpoint, in
Guiding that Of economy.

I'VE have clients wanting a factory
suitable for the manufacture of phon-
ographs similar to the Nictrola
They would hire at least 100 men and
need quite a good factory. We wish
YOU would tell us what you have that
we can secure on reasonable terms in
the shape of a factory. Also tell us
if your town would be willing to sub
scribe to stock or bonds Of a good con
Germ if we could influence them there.
We believe they should locate with adj
Nantages Of timber, Which you have.
We wish you would give us your opin-
ion on the matter of support from the
town. IT will be Il handsome industry
for any town. Last year three con-
Germs made over 100000, 000 worth of
Graphones in the United States and |
believe the company will employ 200
men in less than six months. II this
appeals to you and you can give us
some inducement. the writer will come
up and see your town and il there is
any public spirit at all they will be
willing TO help
Very truly yours.

ON HELD BROS. FARM
Prize Winning Stock Trapped
in Burning Barn-Combus-
ton Probable Cause.

Hinton, Ia. Dec. 22.-The large stock
barn on the Held Bros. farm, adjoin-
ing Hinton, was destroyed by fire last
night, causing a loss of $4,000 to $780,
900. Many prize winning horses n
cattle were destroyed in the fire, in
GLIDING eight imported stations and 35
head OF thoroughbred cattle. There
were also a number of sheep and hogs
destroyed and a large amount of grain
and machinery.
1t is thought the fire originated from
combustion of alfalfa hay, of which
about 35 tons We're stored in the barn.
When the members of the household
were first aroused by the glare the fire
had gained such Roadway hat only

granary and double corn crib were
burned, but the silo was saved. The
| house was we'll removed from the other

aced.
The financial loss is partially ov-
cred by insurance, but the members OF
the firm feel a personal loss in some OF
their prize stock that they do not es-
