The above picture shows very inter

lighting and power plant, manufactured
by the Domestic Engineering Company,
of Dayton. Ohio
The rural light and power question is
which has been troubling engineers
all over the country for number of
years. 1t has Deen found in most cases
impractical to extend the service of city
power houses into the country account

be maintained on such lines-all for the
service of a few isolated places-wou:'i

Engineers realized that with these condi-
lions it would be necessary to produce
isolated e.ectric plants, that is to develop
electric generating plant which could
be installed right the farm or country
home. and which would give the
service that furnished by power houses
in the cities. But experiments along these
lines brought out great difficulties The

used for stuffng furniture, etc. The
firm incorporated, set up business on
4 grand scale in an old church on
some property that Jim had fallen
heir to, and settled themselves to
await the expected thrush of business.
One day stranger appeared on the
scene, evinced considerable interest In
the operations and asked Jim whose
formula was used. Jim replied with
dignity that il was their own, of
course, whcreupon the man triumph

said. Here's the same formula, it is
mine and what's moro. it is patented"
BY that time Jim's partner was half

Jim's absolute ignorance saved him.
After that episode. Jim decided to let
tho public do him. and has stuck TO

of About 10000 Men

WASHINGTON, July 12.-lmmediats
organization Of an extensive National
Guard recruiting service was au-
thorizcd to-day by the War Depart
ment TO bring regiments on border
duty up to full war strength of about
10000 men. With nearly $4,000 rcgu-
lars on border duty, the government
would have 100000 men or more en-
gagged in protecting the line.
Three officers will be assigned to tho
recruiting service for each regiment
ordered to the front. Each separate
battalion, company, battery or other
unit will have one officer. Tho Adj
jutant-General of the respective States
will supply the names Of officers for
this duty.
Recruiting has been made necessary
by the fact that all unfit men and
those with dependents to support are
to be discharged from the guard regi-
ments as rapidly as possible. While
the work of filling the gaps was in
progress. however. 1t was determined
to go n step further and attempt to
