ELECTRICITY HELPS
FARM PRODUCTION

Success in farming, as in any mod
ern business, depends largely upon
getting the greatest poss BILE return
with the smallest expenditure of time
and effort.
There was n time, not so very long
ago, when that was merely an attrac-
tive general principle-when il was
just considered good business to put
such principle into effect. But things
are different now. Today we are con-
frOnted with the absolute necessity Of
marshalling all the forces of the farm
community for the battle for increased
farm production.
1t Is because of this necessity that
the Government Bureaus are lending
every possible aid to the cause of in
creased production; that County
Agents are making every effort to
help the farmers in tLeir respective
territories; that money Is available
as never before for the purchase of
all items of farm machinery and
equipment which will help to the
common end, assure bountiful ilarv.
ests year after ear, and an adequate
food supply for our dependent mil
+ lions.
Forces heretofore overlooked are
being called into service by the farm
er. One of the most valuable Of these
aids is being discovered in the use of
lectricity-complete electric service
made possible by the Introduction of
dependable electric light and power
plant for farms.
Electricity is helping the farmer
and his family to do more and better
work with less time and effort, and as
result of the modern conveniences
made possible by electricity, it is
making the farm better place to live
and to work.

dren Are Blind.-Mother's Prayer
Answered at Birth Of Last Child.
Colorado Springs, Colin little
home at Lake George, 25 miles from
here, there is baby boy who, when
he grows up, will be able to tell his
father, his mother and brother and
sister of the beauties of the mountain
region in which they live, but which
have been shut out to them throughout
their lives.
This baby, the pride and wonder of
the entire district, possesses the bless
ing of sight, denied other members of
the family. The baby's father is Ben
jamin Richards. He is blind. The lit
tie mother, now the happiest woman in
all Colorado, was Miss Myrtle Highly.
She was born blind. She was a stud
ent in state school for the blind and
while there met Richards. His sight
had been destroyed by an accident.
Drawn together by their affliction,
which sent them through the world in
darkness, Richard and the little blind
girl we're married Five years ago
baby girl was born. Anxiously they
waited for the word that would tell
them whether the innocent newcomer
had also entered the world In darkness.
Their hearts were torn when they were
told the baby girl would never see.
Three years later baby boy arrived
and he, too, had been denied the gift
of sight.
Two years passed. A little girl, now
5 years old, played in world of dark
ness about her mother, who had also
never seen the light of day. A little
boy grouped about the floor. 1t was a
| home of darkness. Neigbhors told the
mother that her little ones were pretty
| children, and she smiled and coddled
| the little hands and faces she could not
see.
Time went on. The mother knew
that the stork would soon hover over
the home again. She knew that he
was about to bring another baby soul
| into the world and the mother prayed
that this innocent might be spared the
blight of eternal darkness. The moth.
er was cheerful and hopeful, but when
the time came for the father to sum.

stood still. The doctor could only tell
them that he hoped, but there was
prenatal influence to be overcome.
Waiting with the mountain friends

the room. His face was wreathed in
smiles. He grasped father Richards by
the hand.

olp.TIME TABLE ETIQUETTE

Even at so late a period as the Res
toration, 1860, it was the custom for
the guests to take their own knives
and forks to an English banquet.
Pepys records that he did this when
he went to the lord mayors feast in
the Guild hall. In the previous reign
the lord chamberlain had found it
necessary to issue regulations for the
benefit of the officers invited to dine
at the royal table. They were re-
uuired to wear clean boots, not to be
half drunk on their arrival, not to
drink more than one goblet to every
two dishes, not to throw the bones
under the table, not to lick their fin
gers.
The Stuarts undoubtedly did much
to refine English table manners, for
it was one of the points admired by
Mary Queen of Scots that the customs
she introduced from France made her
court and royal banquets more exqui-
site and genteel than those OF her
rival, Queen Elizabeth. AS forks came
into use, the old-time Importance or
the table napkin began to wane. From
being a necessity it became luxury,
on the fastidious use of which eti-
quette has at various times placed
strange values.
Under the third empire in France
st. Beuve brought disgrace upon him
self because at breakfast at the Tuil-
cries he carelessly opened his napkin
and placed it over his two knees. To
this he added the crime of cutting his
egg in two at the middle. Court eti-
quette prescribed that the half-folded
napkin should lie on the left knee, and
the top of the egg was to be merely
broken with the edge of the spoon
and drained with the top of the spoon.
For his failings in these respects
st. Beuve's name was struck off the
imperial visiting list.

There can be no real goodness, no
vital character, without struggle. If
there were no temptation recorded
in the life of Jesus, we should be
compelled to imagine one. 1t is al
together significant that the report
of the Temptation probably came di-
rectly from the Master himself. He
knew its meaning.
"The disciple is not above his
Lord and therefore he is engaged in

quering evil is his task and he is GER

conquest is first, then TO battle
against the evil forces in the world
about us. The battle is a long and
hard one. Bunyan shows how Ap-

against sin. Resisting unto blood
in striving against sin, is sometimes
deep necessity of the soul. The
story is told of Mississippi river
steamboat captain whom they at
tempted to bribe to carry load of
cotton during the civil war when
cotton was contraband. They offer
ed $4,000 at first and then ran the
offer up to S50,000 or more; where
at the captain got his revolver and
drove them out, sayig, You're get
ting too close to meH' He knew his
limit! There is point of safety be-
yond which it is impossible to go
without defeat.
Temptation today is often most Sc
we're because it is made matter of
profit. All forms of pleasure and
evil are commercialized. Men do not
care how much others suffer. They
place temptation on sale. They put
a cup to their brothers lips. They
put a lewd woman to beckon him to
he'll. They purchase virtues gold
with the deviP1 dross. We are max
ing fine progress in suppressing COM
mercialized vice. The war, with all
it's woe, has helped. To make men
fit to fight we are keeping the saloon
and brothel at bay. What is good
for fighting men who go to the front
is good for citizens who stay al
home. Let us mobilize our forces
against evil and take as much temp
tation as possible out of our broth
er's way.
DIR. John r. Mott. President of the
great worlds Y. M. C.. A. organiza-
ton, has made fine suggestion
about meeting temptation in Christ's
strength. This is what he says: "Let
the approach of temptation remind
us instantly of Christ. Each time
when one is tempted to be mean, OF
selfish, or vain, or jealous, let the
very temptation remind him of the
presence of Christ. In one of the
battles of Manchuria, the Japanese
captured certain Russian guns anC
brought them into action against
the enemy in the same battle. Thus
we may make the occasions fol
stumbling sources of strength in tina
they will remind us of the nearness
] of the triumphant Christ"

Cured at Madrid, Spain, Sunday, Feb
ruary 3, 1918. The cause of his death
was given as smallpox, and as the
cause of his death was an infectious
disease, the remains cannot be
shipped to this country until after
the lapse of ten years.
Mr.. Norwood was about % years
of age and was native of this coun-
ty. He attended the Butler High

he attended business college. Af-
ter finishing his course at business
college he took civil service exam

tion to his duties soon attracted the
attention of his superiors and he was
promoted and sent to Spain as vice
consul at Madrid. He was a young
man of marked ability and had not

certain foreign governments to see
whether a certain amount of horse
meat could be used in such countries
as have resorted to it at times for
