East Side Boat Service

The Record is advised that the
steamer Tyrus has been purchased
by the West Pass Transportation
Co. for the East Side run and will
be kept on the route during the
winter provided the patronage re-
ceived will warrant it. 1t is point
ed out that the cost of operating a
boat has doubled in the past two
years, hence il is necessary to have
a goodly share of the freight bust
ness during the winter when pass
enger traffic is light in order to
maintain the service. 1t looks as
though everything within reason
should be done to cooperate with
and foster this company's bust
ness.

much hard work and naturally they
appreciate the comfort and attractive

springs from happier home atmos-

Another big problem that electric

Other things being equal. the hired
man will prefer to work on the farm

OF course the farmer who is con-
templating buying an electric plant
for his farm, will show good judg-
ment if he buys plant that is es.
pecially designed for farm purposes.
He should also make sure that the
plant is made and marketed by large

HOW ELECTRICITY
INCREASES FARM
EFFICIENCY

Not many years ago, when the
value of farm land was not so high
as 1t is today. the farmer found it
comparatively easy to raise sufficient
crops to pay him for the money in
vested.
This condition has changed, and
the farmer of today must recognize
farming as al business, and place it
upon an efficient basis, in order to
raise sufficient crops to make farming
paying Investment.
This Is exactly what is taking
place, and one of the big factors in
placing farming on an efficient basis
is the use of electric light and power.
Over 10000 of one particular kind
of light and power plant are in use to-
day on the farms of United States
and Canada. They are, saving time
: for the farmer and his family. In
many cases they are pumping water
for him. operating the churn, cream
separator, making his chores easy and
in many ways saving time and labor.
Itsa great day for the farmer and
his family when they can press, for
the first time, an electric button in
their own home. ~ $500
It's great day, for 1t marks the
beginning of new life for them-it
means that the drudgery, the hard
ships and the burdens that have
marred and shadOwed their lives have

than that, for 1t makes possible the
enjoyment of new comforts and new
