HOPES SHOW WILL
REDUCE PRICES
President of Electrical Com
pany Says More Users
Means Lower Rates.

That South Bends Electrical Pros
perity week show had purpose. and
that the purpose OF the exposition
closed Saturday night was toward
n reduction in rates in South Bend
was the statement OF F. a. Bryan,
president OF the Indiana and Michi-
gan Electric Co, Monday. The
shows direct purpose was the edu-
cating OF the people in the new uses
q electricity and the interesting OF
them in these uses; a lowering Of
rates, said A1r. Bryan, will follow
an adoption by a greater majority OF
residents of electricity in home, Of
fee and factory.
cit is our hope" explained Mr..
Bryan, that the publicity accruing
from the show will result In more
users or electricity and more con-
sumers will mean a reduction Of our
costs. which in return will result in
another reduction in rates.
The cost OF electricity in any
community depends largely upon
what Is technically known as the
degree Of saturation in that COM
munitv-by this we mean the num-
Der OF customers compared with the
population. AS an example, in South
Bend our lines cover practically the
entire city. Tt is self-evident that il
we can have five customers in every
block, our costs are materially below
what they would be if We had but
one customer to the block"
Asked if this policy had been fol-
lowed I'm South Bend, Mr.. Bryan
said it had. and cited the reduction
in rates effective May I, 1912.
AT that time" said Mr.. Bryan,
1--WE advertised our sixth reduction
in cost of electrical energy for il
Eliminating purposes in South Bend"
South Bends electrical show is
considered one Of the most success
ful in this part Of the country, from
point Of attendance and exhibits
alike. From the opening of it's
doors on Monday until midnigh Sat
urday. an a'mOst incessant stream of
people wound down the aisles Of the
Inwood building. closely observant
Of each and every interesting dis
play. II
Educational as we'll as entertain
ing. and advertised throughout this
section, the South Bend exhibit
drew crowds from miles around. In
diana and Michigan power is used in
many small centers outside South
Bend. and while sub-companies in
these centers have special induce
ments during electrical prosperity
week. which was a national affair,
the South Bend show was advertised
to patrons OF these sub-companies as
a means of educating the people in
the advanced uses of power.
'@The management OF the electric
company" said Mr. Bryan. has ac-
tually taken stockholders money
money which might have gone 10 the
stockholders, and used it for this
publicity effort-the Electric show
believing that in the end this pub
licity will rebound to the benefit OF
the people Of South Bend"
That another year will see another
AMI better prosperity week is the be-
lief of electrical men, who cite re-
ports from over the country as proof
Of the success of this pioneer move
ment. Organization, perfection and
education have united in forcing to
the fore a movement for the better
ing and expanding of electrical ser
vice until today its uses are univer-

Many fans with a statistical kink in
their minds have been figuring, ever
since Eddie Collins became a member
of the White Sox reasons for the
peerless second baseman's greatness.
They have Iamped his bIoated bat
ting average and concluded that he
was on the pinnacle of fame because
of the regularity with which he
slammed the ball to various portions
of the outfield or beat out rollers
which do not pass the inner defense.
They have looked over his base
stealing record or his feats of de-
fensive ability and decided that it was
proficiency in these departments that
set him aside from other ball players.
All three conclusions are correct
when Jumped together. But Eminent
Eddie is famous mainly because he
can enjoy more than one thought at
a time and make his hands and feet
instantly answer the command of his
brain. He has the physical ability CO..
operating with mental agility.
This ability enabled Reb Russell to
win a game with one run from the
st. Louis Browns. 1t was loudly APP
plauded, but still did not get all the
consideration due it's worth. In the
second inning Jimmy Austin was on
second base when Agnew sacrificed
in the direction of Brief. The ball
rolled badly and travelled by the first
sacker.
Collins grabbed it in time to have
nailed the batter at first, which play
Austin was figuring on, The Browns
