ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME

John Gillespie and his wife moved
to town last fall to enjoy electric
light, steam heat, gas, and the other
advantages found there. He had to
rent his fine farm and the family
missed their neighbors quite bit.
Town milk wasn't as good as their
cows used to give, cream became a
minus quantity, and visitor would
not have noticed the friend chicken
or canned peaches that used to load
their table back on the farm. All
for the sake of conveniences.
Dozens of other retired farmers are
in the same position. Having saved
up for years they moved to town to
ease down and take things comfort
ably.
II the home place had had the con-
veniences they sought for, these fami'
lies never would have moved from
the communities which they built
Fortunately there is a change for the
better and the next ten years will see
farmers getting all the city convene
ences and keeping their rural luxur
les, too.
Pumping and carrying water II
blizzard weather gets to be an ole
song, the same as budding around
heater or kitchen stove. The house
is as cold as refrigerator plant ant
rheumatism runs amuck. Night set
ties down at $3.50 o'clock and smoky
lamps make the house dim and unin
viting. 1t is no wonder that father
and mother long for electric lights
and water in the house.
In the last six years dozens Of con
veniences have been worked out fol
the farm which are individual. Town
conveniences have been possible be-
cause of the central plants, pumping
stations, and pipe lines. On the farm
the job has been to make plant
which would supply the family's
needs satisfactorily but yet with the
cost of installation and upkeep in
expensive enough for the farmer.
There are the farm gas systems,
acetylene and gasoline. Acetylene
gas machines are on the market in q
comparatively safe form. Gas ia
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1916-10-20

made by dropping carbide into water
and is piped over the house to the
burners, stoves, and water heaters
1t gives the best light known to read
by, and a gas stove is very convenient
and far superior to a gasoline stove.
An excellent feature is the possibility
of running a water heater, affording
an everlasting supply of hot water
This advantage electricity does not
offer along with the gas crate. Gas
is the most convenient fuel known.
One generator will run furnace,
lights, cook stove, water heater and
fireplace.
Some persons are afraid Of the
acetylene exploding and removing
the house. II 1t is mixed with the
proper amount of air and match
applied dynamite cannot do more
than acetylene. For this reason gas
o1ine lights are often used, but the
fact remains that either gasoline
natural gas, or acetylene will blow W
If mixed with oxygen and ignited
All three are burned in thousands OF
homes with rarely an accident.
A good furnace Is managed as east
ly on the farm as anywhere. One OF
the hot air type capable Of heating
eight rooms will be installed for
about $3.50, depending upon the
amount of work to be done. Steam
or hot water costs the most but are
most satisfactory, always giving a
smooth and even heat.
There is no reason why a farmer
should not have furnace II he can
afford it. 1t is poor judgment today
for a man to build farm house with
out one. He is about 30 years behind
the times and will be the first to COM
plain that you can't equal the COM
forts of town life on the farm. O.
Automobiles have eliminated dis
tances from the rural calendar and 1t
is as easy to crank up the old boat"
to go to town for picture show as 1t
is for the fellow townsman to develop
leg power to get to the same exhibit
ton. But so much has been said
about the motor car.
Too many agents have canvassed
the country to make 1t worth while to

The taxpayers in Wayne county
were informed last evening, through
the medium of Lester E. Boykin, of

may have the services of an expert
road engineer to supervise the con-
without any expense whatever to the
county. Mr.. Boykin spoke before a
poorly attended meeting at the high
school auditorium. where he presented
the subject of Good Roads" and
showed by stereopticon slides how
the county could be saved hundreds
of dollars by building the right kind
of roads in the proper way.
While in Wayne county, Mr.. Boy
kin, who is touring the state in COM
pany with Road Expert Tobin, took
photographs of Wayne county roads.
The Importance of good drainage
for roads was emphasized by the
speaker. He said that freezing in
jures the road much more than thaw-
ing and that if road is properly
drained, both in the matter of a proper
crown and also the proper underdrain-
ing, freezing will not injure it so
much.N
