ELECTRICITY AND PROSPERITY


James ]. Hill. premier railroad or
gantzer and fnancier, paid glowing
tribute to electricity when asked
what he thought OF the plan to devote
the week OF November 90 to December
4 TO 2 celebration OF the return OF
good times and to be known as
Prosperity Week" Said Mr.. Hill:
Electric energy can be carried any
where. 1t has, therefore, taken the
place OF millions of human hands. Nor
is there any ascertained limit to which
its uses may he put. A great transfer
nation has been wrought in the life
time OF single generation.
Railroad engines, street cars, ele-
vators. all sorts of light power ma
chinery, are now fitted with electric
motors. The mysterious force is busy
about our houses. lighting, sweeping,
washing. cooking, heating and per-
forming deftIy and quietly scores of
lesser tasks. The country calls for it.
Much Of the manual labor about the
farms might be performed by this
subtle agent that already knows how
to milk a cow"
