the improvement In electric lamps In.
the last fifteen years has given the con.

One Of the most impressive facts
shown by the above table Of electric
prices is the effect that water power
development has had upon power costs
II will be seen that In the Middle At
lantic. West North Central and East
South Central States. where there has
been little water power development,
the rates remained almost the same
for ten years. while In the West South
Central States. where there is no water
power development worth mentioning,
the cost OF power actually increased. In
New England and the South Atlantic
States. where there has been consider
able use OF water power. the price
dropped of one-third, while in the
Mountain and Pacific states, where the
greatest development Of water power
has taken place, the reduction was
fully fifty per cent

Of the eggs therein.
The nest boxes should be filed

earth or sod and new, clean straw
should be used for the top filling.
Before the hen Is allowed to sit on the
eggs she should be thoroughly busted

the powder reaches every portion Of
the body. particularly under the legs

ARMY OF CRICKETS
luvades CoviugtOn Hospital Drives
Family Away From Home
BY CHIPPING,

Covington, Ky, Sept. 26. go
Southeastern Covington is over
run with crickets.
Several days ago city officials
attempted to asphyxiate mos
quitoes that infested a stagnant
pond and weed patch back of St.
Elizabeth Hospital. Crude oil
was thrown upon the pond. The
mosquitoes were routed all right,
but the oil forced an army of
crickets to leave their happy
hunting grounds. These black
warriors invaded homes in that
vicinity. The creeping, hopping
army also visited the hospital,
doing damage. The pets entered
closets, gnawed holes in clothing
bed covering and tablecloths.
Sisters in charge of the hospital
have tried various disinfectants,
but have failed to drive out the
crickets.
Mat Ruef, Of Twentieth street,
declared that he and his family
were forced to seek other quar-
tiers.
The singing of the crickets is
unbearable, he said.
