Auto Receipts Short Over Year Of 1916

Automobile license receipts paid in to
the secretary of state for the period
between Jan. l, 1917, and June l, 1917,
are short total sum of 1891, sl9.25 in
comparison to the corresponding period
last year, according to figures compiled
by Secretary of State w. S. Allen.
The shortage is due not to decrease
in the number of automobiles in the
state, but because of the operation of
the three-yesr automobile license num-
Der plate law, which went into effect in
1916.
Under the old law every AUTOMOBILE
ist was compelled to obtain new num-
Der annually, and the plates for each
year were different. 1t was possible
for police officers to determine at a
glance when car was operating under
an old license.
The 36th general assembly revised
the automobile laws in 1915, and pro-
vided that the number plates issued
should be good for three years, but
that the license fee was to be paid an
nually as before.
Automobile owners are taking ad-
vantage of this law to neglect to pay
any license fee at all, declares MIR.
Allen, and on June l, 1917, 46, 665 own
ers who registered in 1916, had failed
to register in 1917.
The average license fee for 1916 was
Ss.45, and using this as standard the
net shortage to June l was 1894, 3l9.
The number of new cars registered
shows big increase over 1919. On
June l. 27,7O6 new cars had been reg
istered for 1917, compared to $4,000 for
the same period in 1916.

Death Of Mrs. Pat Sullivan.

The sudden death of Mrs. Pat Sulli-
van which occurred Saturday night,
June Goth, by bolt of lightning, cast
gloom of sorrow over the commune
ty. Mrs. Sullivan had been down town
in the early evening shopping for over
Sunday. Shortly after returning home
her brother, C. T. Bagan and wife rode
in from St. Paul in their auto and just
before the storm of rain and lightning.
The men folks were out in the barn
putting away the car when they heard
the awful crash which seemed almost
like an earthquake and lit up the house.
They rushed towards the house and i'm
agine their surprise to find the lifeless
form of Mrs. Sullivan lying on the
ground.
Thinking Of her husband out without
coat or hat she went out to bring them
to him and it was while passing be-
meath tree which was adjacent to a
path that led to the barn when the
bolt came which so suddenly ended her
young life. Her sister-in-law was
standing in the door of the house and
she received shock, the lightning pass
ing between her feet scorching one side
of her foot.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
at 10 O'Clock, Rev. Father Gmeinder
reading the requiem Mass and the re-
mains were laid to rest in St. Patrick 9
cemetery, followed by many sorrowing
relatives and friends. The sympathy
of the entire community is extended
Mr.. Sullivan and the other relatives.
Lucy Bagan was born Nov. 4th, 1885,
in Fillmore county, MIMI, on a farm
near Chester, and died June Goth, 1917,
in Leroy, Mimi, aged thirty-one years,
seyen months and twenty-six days. She
lived there until her marriage to Pat
Sullivan Feb. II, 1907, after which she
lived in Leroy, life of happiness be-
loved by all her neighbors and friends.

Electricity---Everybody's Servant
The Farmer Coming Into His Own

most great problems, was In itself
rather simple-not the building of
new and complicated machinery to
drive current further at a lower
cost, but the application of the
known principles of generating and
handling electric currents the devel-
opment of small generating plants of
a size suitable for supplying electric
ity on the farm and in the church or
store, and at cost easily within the
reach of every progressive farmer.
Years of experimental work by some
of our best engineers have produced
plants of this type which are thoroly
dependable.
Now the result of this is that cleo
tricity is at last the really universal
servant In the country home,
church, school, community house,
store, club and camp, as we'll as in
the city, electric lamps pour out
their flood of pure light from hand
some modern fixtures. The day of
the coal oil lamp is over. Not only
the farm house itself but every part
of all the other buildings on the place
is lighted safely and conveniently.
And light is only part of the serv-
ice that electricity is ready to render.
In the home the vacuum sweeper, the
electric iron, toaster, coffee percola-
tor, fan and washing machine are at
the service of the housewife. An au-
tomato electric pump furnishes hot
and cold running water to all parts
of the house at all times. In the
dairy milking machine, the cream
separator and the churn are electri-
cally driven. The tanning mill, the
corn grinder, the grindstone and
many other pieces of light farm ma
chinery are turned by small motors.
The comfort, the convenience of
electric service will have the same
effect in the country home as they
have had in the city. This service
will give people more leisure, more
opportunity to read, to keep in touch
with all that is going on in the world
about them. 1t will make their liv-
ing easier and better. And if it can
do these things for all of us, it will
indeed have proved itself the best of
servants.
The farmer, indeed, is coming into
his own, as well as the city man.
