The distribution of Electric
Farm Plants is a matter of Engi-
neering rather than Selling.
Many times Electric Farm
Plants have been installed with
wonderful promises made as to
what they will do in the farm
home, which promises become a
matter of imagination to the
purchaser, as no effort is ever
made to motorize the various
equipment which should be OPP
Grated Electrically.
When a customer purchases
any electric equipment from a
Delco-Light dealer he can be as
sured that it is the best on the

SPRING HOUSE CLEANING

With the American Army in France,
Tuesday, Mar. IL. --(By the Associat.
ed ress)--After weeks of rain, snow,
wind and murky weather there came
to the American front today its first
bath of genial spring sunshine. The
skies were cloudless, and in the mod
crate temperature that prevailed
sweaters were discarded by the men
for the first time since last summer,
while in the villages where they are
billeted and in the cantOnments in
the training area the camps were dec
GRATED with rolls Of bedding being CIV
in the sunshine in the streets and on
the hilsidcs-a grateful experience
after the winter damp chill.
Everywhere one could see equip
ment hung out to dry, tent flaps and
hut windows open and hospital patti
ents breathing the sweet spring air
Meanwhile tho transport work vas be.
ing expediated ty the rapidly drying
roads.
Training Goes on Apaee.
In the training areas the fullest ad-
vantage was taken Of the open wea-
Their, the officers crowding the men to
willingly renewed efforts to make
them fit for front line service.
Under the sunshine and the still
atmosphere airdomes all along the
line sprouted flocks of airplanes, both
on trial and on serious missions, and
in readiness for an enemy offensive II
it should develop.
The troops both on the front and in
the training camps are on the tiptoe
of expectation for the arrival of Sec
rotary Of War Baker, the presence of
whom in France was announced in the
Paris morning newspapers and took
the whole army by surprise. Word Of
the secretary's presence in France
was spread rapidly by telephone from
the bases to the furthermost outposts.
Officers in villages at outlying points
stopped the newspaper motors and
asked for definite word when Mr..
Baker would arrive. "The old man
will find us ready to pass inspection"
it was said.

RATlFYING UNIMPORTANT

Washington, D. c., Mar. 16.-The de.
cision of the All-Russian congress Of
Soviets at Moscow to ratify the Ger
man peace terms, announced In press
cables Friday, was reached after re-
ceipt OF President Wilson's message
to the Russian people assuring them
that America would take the first op-
portunity to help them regain their
complete sovereignty and indepen-
dence.
A message received at the state de.
partment today from American Con-
sui Summers, at Moscow, said the
presidents message was delivered two
days before the Soviets met.
Official expression here Indicated
that American and the allies expec;
the action Of the congress to have
little direct bearing on the general
Russian situation. 1t apparently was
believed that chaotic conditions will
continue in Russia for long time to
come even though the Germans make
every effort to re-establish order and
to re.organize the country's industrial
and agricultural life.
Peace Temporary, Dispatch.
Officials here do not profess to
know to what extent Germany plans
to use her forces in policing the pro-
vinces Russia is compelled to relin-
quish or how much farther German
troops may penetrate Russia itself.
They were deeply interested in dis
patch from Moscow which said that
the Russian factions declared freely
that peace will be temporary only
and that Russia will gather herself to-
gether with new socialistic army to
resist the Germans. The fact that
only slightly more than half of the
delegates expected to attend the con-
gress were reported as voting also
caused comment. sy
The attitude of the American gov,
eminent toward any German move to-
ward general peace at the expense
of Russia, is directly in line with the
expression of Lord Robert Cecil in the
house of commons Friday that even if
such proposal came from Germany
It would not be considered.

That Tarpon Springs is very close
to Greece was demonstrated yesterday
when Mr.. A. Leousis ordered the Mob
lit Hardware company to send to his,
brother in Greece two Evenrude oil
engines besides 81 500 worth of other
hardware. This order consists of al
most everything found in a hardware
store, and will be shipped as soon as
the government license fer shipping
can be secured.
The Noblit Hardware company is
doing big business and the idea of
sending goods all the way to Greece
is new one and is deserving of credit
to the business ability of Mr.. C. C.
Barnum, the genial manager of this
prosperous concern.
Mr.. Leousis also deserves praise for
sending this business through a local
concern in preference to handling it
through New York, as would natural
y be expected.
