THE SUPERIORITY
OF ELECTRICITY

Civilized people need electric
lights at night.
The early cave men used wisps
Of hay and branches of trees
and resinous knots of wood for
this purpose.
Later occupants Of this sphere
used tallow dip candles.
Subsequent generations ad-
vanced to the stage in which
they burned oil.
Oil lamps were then improv-
ed at different stages.
Then came electricity.
The crudest electric light bulbs
were superior to the best and
most modern lamps.
The present electricl lights are
as superior to the original as
the first were to the old tallow
dip candles.
That 8 the reason every owner
of q home wants electric lights.
The superiority Of electric
lights over all other forms. Of
lighting homes is too evident to
require argument.
Why not have your home cleo
trio ighted7
Electric lights are time savers.
They are more sanitary. They
are more cleanly. They are much
safer. They are less likely to
cause fires that destroy your
homes, less subject to accidents.
You need electric lights in your
home.
Small electric light plants are
now built for use on the farm
and in city residences that are
practical, efficient and economi-
cal.

What a blessed thing it is that
we can forget! To-day's troub-
les look large, but a week hence
they will be forgotten and buried
out Of sight. Says one writer: !:
eff you would keep a book and
daily put down the things that
worry you, and see what be-
comes of them, it would benefit
you. You allow a thing to an
noy you, just as you allow a. fly
to settle on you and plague you;
and you lose your temper and
justify yourself by being thrown
off your balance by causes which
you do not trace out. But if
you could see what it was that
threw you off your balance be-
fore breakfast, and put it down
in a little book, and follow it up
and follow it out, and ascertain
what becomes Of it, you would
see what a fool you We're in the
matter" The art Of forgettir,
is a blessed art, but the art Of
overlooking is quite as impor-
tant. And if we should take
time. to write down the origin,

Of our troubles, it would make
us 50 ashamed Of the fuss we
make over them, that we should
be. glad to drop such things and

be worn out in petty worries,
frettings, hatreds and vexations.

Luck is something which strikes a
man when he is not looking for any
thing higher than pair of sevens. 1t
is the principal asset in certain card
games which do not have to be puri-
fed ever and anon by bringing in a
fresh deck.
Luck is priceless possession in the
hands of man who is about to go
broke with a low, discouraged PUNK,
but who is suddenly left $4,000 by
some relative whom he would not reeog-
nize except by standing up beside the
daguerreotype. Lots of people who are
now wearing sport shirts and gossamer
hose would not be doing so if luck had
not been dropped into their humble
homes and left a bank roll that would
choke an artesian well. No one should
complain of this however, as the mon

a billion their value in 1914, the pre-
vious banner value year in the coun-
try s crop history. Theoretically, at
least, it betokens an abundant supply
of food for man and beast in the Unit
ed States during the winter which is
at hand Incidentally, it indicates a
growing disposition on the part of
American farmers to derive from their
land the maximum production of which
it is capable. This augurs well for
the future of American agriculture and
of life in general in this country. Apart
from considerations of export, which
are ever present, a steadily and rapidly
increasing population inevitably pre-
supposes a corresponding increase il
the demand for foodstuffs; and it i:
well that agriculture, the Fundamental
source of all food supply, is taking heeC
of this fact and governing itself ac
cordingly.
