IT was something of shock to
his many friends throughout the
state when Walter J. Smith plead
guilty in District Court in St. Paul
Tuesday. His friends were OF the
opinion that the difficulties could
be explained satisfactorily and
while they admitted an error in
judgement on the part of Walter
no one was under the impression
of a deliberate crime, and are not
as vet convinced of such, even
with the plea of guilty. Walter is
a victim of circumstances and his
amiability. He had too many
friends for the good of his purse
and no one was denied, in fact,
the best was never too good for
Walters friends. The sympathy
of the range communities is ex-
tended to the unfortunate man
and his unhappy family. He has
been sentenced to five years under
the indeterminate plan. Pickit re-
ceived the same sentence. A stay
of a short time was granted to
allow Mr.. Smith to get his business
affairs in order.

What Is a klIoWatt?

A watt is unit of measure for
electricity just as the quart is unit
of measure for milk and the bushel
as unit of measure for corn. Kilo
is a Greek word measuring 1 900
and kilowatt is l 900 watts. The
watt takes its names from James
Watt, the famous physicist.
Here are few things kilowatt
of electricity will do:
1t will light 5000 cigars.
It will run an electric clock for
10 years.
1t will heat curling iron three
minutes every day in the year,
Sunday included.
It will heat the bedroom for an
hour in the winter, or keep the
room cool for FL hours in the sum-
mer if a small ventilating fan is
used.
It will propel an electric auto
mobile three miles, knead eight
sacks of -four into dough, or operate
an electric piano for 10 hours.
1t will light an old 16 candle
power Edison lamp for IS hours.
Or a 25-watt Tungsten lamp for
40 hours.
Or a 40-watt Tungsten lamp for
SIS hours.
Or 6O-watt Tungsten lamp for
16 hours.
Run a 9-inch electric fan for rs
hours.
The energy produced by a kilo-
watt hour of electricity should keep
a small motorcycle at top speed for
an hour.
The energy produced by a kilo-
watt hour of electricity running
through a motor will raise twenty
two tons of coal in one hour.

More Section 80 History

Bearing the notice of a special
act of congress authorizing him to
make entry upon any homestead

ing land laws says the News Tri-
bune, Hugh P. Strong of Superior,
walked into the United States Land
offices in the Federal building
yesterday and selected a number
of small islands and other small
tracts in St. Louis and Aitkin
counties, aggregating $50 acres.
After making entry Strong pre-

the notice of the act passed by
congress for his special benefit

land department up to that time.
According to the provisions of
the act, Strong had two years from

himself of his privilege almost the

The sudden and unexpected ap-

ment at the land Office yesterday
marked the elimination of the
famous Pettijohn script case, which
had been dragging through the
courts since 1894. This case was
carried to the supreme court of the
United States, and later caused
special legislation by congress.
The controversy was based on
the question of ownership of Sec

of Ely. In 1885 under a certain
Indian law, William T. Pettijohn.
a prominent citizen of Mime

emitting him to piece of land he
might select. This script was as
signable, and Pettijohn transferred
it to the Buffalo Land & Explora-
ton company, which, in 1887
selected SeCtlOn 81.
In the meantime Strong made
entry on the same section under
the homestead act and in 1894,
after having lived on the grant for
FIVE years, patent was issued to
him.
The Buffalo Land & Exploration
company, disputed his claim to the
property, and the case was carried
to the supreme court, which decid-
ed that the patent issued to Strong
was held in trust for the Buffalo

TALKS ON THRIFT
HOW THE BANK MAKES" MONEY
SAVINGS BANK CENTENNIAL. 1870

It would seem that after the
bank takes your money, protects
it, pays it back on demand or as
you order, lends you money, dis

you, It would have nothing else to
offer in your behalf. But it has

incidentally makes money for it.
self.
When you see the president or
the cashier of bank signing his
name to a row of four crisp new
bills (they always come in sheets
of four) you may wonder what he
is doing. and what is behind it all.
We will show you by simple
illustration. Let US suppose you
want to borrow thousand dollars
and offer your note to your banker.
He knows you, knows that you
will pay, and wants to accommodate
you. He looks at his books and
says: Il can't spare the money.
The law says 1 must have fifteen
cents out of every dollars I owe
my depositors in cash, or where I
can get it on demand; and I have
just what the law requires. If !
give you credit for the note and
let you check against it, I increase
my debts and make my condition
worse, for if I do not pay you in
cash l must stand ready to do so. "
But being a resourcful banker,
and knowing how, he asks you to
wait minute while he goes to
his strong box. He finds gov
eminent bond which he bought a
year ago when he had plenty Of
spare money, for cash, and comes
back smiling and says: Very
we'll, in three days you can have
your money. I will turn this bond
into bank notes for you" So he
sends the bond to Washington, and
in return the Government sends
him 200 crisp new fve-do1lar bills,
