Electricity on the Farm in Winter

Many farmers are now experience
ing for the first time the many advan-
tages of having electricity in their
homes during the cold winter days.
The short days make it necessary for
the farmer to do much of his work
after dark but the one who has cleo
tricity on his farm with bright lights
in the barn. sheds and other buildings,
can do his chores and other work
early in the morning or late at night
under favorable conditions.
The farmers work Is also greatly
reduced and much time saved by hav-
ing electric power run his light mach
inery and pump water. Fresh water
from the well is much better for the
stock than freezing water from the
tank. 1t is especially important that
the dairy COWS have plenty of water
and they will drink more of it, if it
comes direct from the well.
Electricity means fully as much in
the house during the winter months
as it does in the barn and other build
ings. There is more time spent in
the house by every member Of the
farmers family during the long Win
ter evening than at any other time
of the year. 1t is during these
months that most of the reading and
educational work is done. With a
coal oil lamp for light, this work is
done under most unfavorable con-
ditiOns. Everyone has to crowd a
round the dim light which burns the

oxygen in the air, causing it to be-
come impure and effecting the health
of those in the room. Naturally such
poor light does not encourage read
ing and study work. With soft
bright electric light. however. con-
ditiOns are different. There is plenty
of light in all parts of the room. the
air is pure. and there is no injury to
the eyesight. Certainly great deal
more pleasure is derived from the
long winter evenings when there is
elect ricity in the home

LESSON FOR SUNDAY. FEB. II.

Lesson Title: "Jesus Teaching by
Parables-Four Kinds of Ground"
Lesson Text: Mark 4:1-2O.
Golden Text: "Take heed there
fore how We hear"
l. Are You Deaf?
There are II great many defective
people in the world. Sometimes their
condition is amusing and sometimes
it is tragic. If you had the choice of
any limitation upon your physical ca
pacities, would you rather lose your
eyesight or your hearing? Why?
Just as it is true that. "There are
none so blind as those who will not
see," so also there are people who
will not hear or not according to their
notion or preference. One of the first
stories which Jesus ever told related
to four kinds of hearers. You can
read the interesting record in Mat
thew 13: :1-30 :36-43 Our hearts are
like the soil with tire exception that
we can make them responsive and
fruitful or not as we desire.
ii. The Soil of Life.
OF the four groups which Jesus
mentioned, which one represents you?
Here are the preOccupied people.
Their minds are like a hard trodden
path. When new ideas come they
lie like seeds upon the path, but do
not get into the soil. Christian truth
has to compete with great many
other things which make trodden
path in the minds of men. What is
ION your mind principally? Are you
so preoccupied that you do not hear
Whit your Lord says?
Some men are emotional. They
follow one thing as easily as another,
and they follow nothing very long.
This is like the seed which fell on
the rocky ground. where it had not
much earth.'' Religion faces pecu-
liar dangers in impulsive natures.
They receive the word with joy, but
''they have no root in themselves"
Therefore they only "endure for a

The Happies't st
Farmer

The happiest farmer these
cold winter days is the. one who
has electricity on his farm. The
short days make 1t necessary
for him to do much work after
dark, but this doesn't matter
If he has DBLCO-LIGHT, for in
that case all he needs to do is
press button and PRESTO he
has Il good bright light right
where he wants it and he is
free TO work.
With DELCO-LIGHT there is
no, cropping around with a dim
lantern that may set the hay
on fire. DELCO-LIGHT gives
good safe light in the hay loft.
In the grain bin. behind the
stalls. yes, in all parts of the
barn. Out in the COW barn he
has plenty of good light and can
feed and milk the cows under
the most favorable conditions.
DBLCO-LIGHT will operate
the milking machine and save
labor in many ways. 1t will
operate the pump and provide
running water-fresh water
from the well, which is much
better than to have to break the
ice and give the stock freezing
water. That isn't all. DELCO-
LIGHT furnishes electric power
for operating all farm machines
that are turned by hand, such as
the cream separator, the pump,
the tanning mill, the grindstone.
the chrTn, the washing ma
chine. etc. 1t saves a lot of
labor and time. that is why
DELCO-LlGHT pays for itself
and that Is why farmers all
over the country are having
DELCO-LIGHT installed. Thou
sands of farmers are enjoying
DELCO-L1GHT these cold win
ter days. Now is the time to
investigate DELCO-LIGHT.

DECLINE TO TAKE JURISDICTION OVER
 EARLY CLOSING PLAN
Birmingham Traffic Association Had Asked to Have Order Closing De-
 pots Early Annulled

Washington, November 14-(Special) The federal railroad administration re- clined today to take Jurisdiction in the and wholesale merchants of the Bir- mingham district that an order of local authorities closing depots for receiving freight at instead of o'clock be an- nulled.
 The Birmingham Traffic association addressed it's petition to Director General McAdoo, remembers or his railroad cabinet and to Senators Bankhead and Underwood. The latter to the railroad administration presented the case this morning, the verdict was a reference of the case to B. l.. Winchell, regional director at Atlanta
 In the petition, the traffic association sets out the promise of MT. McAdoo that III assuming control of the situation no embarrassment or unnecessary incon- veience to shippers Or receivers of freight would be caused and then proceeds ap- parently to prove that in Birmingham actual and costly discrimination is to be practiced. The petition declares that at Knoxville, Nashville, Montgomery and Atlanta the hours for receiving freight has not been and would not be changed and that as a result, Birmingham would be greatly at a disadvantage in the transaction of business. The charge is made that it is patently unfair for the railroads arbitrarily to put into effect a rule which under state authority 1t had endeavored to put into operation and had repeatedly failed. It is also all legged that there have been no changes in conditions at Birmingham or any other point in the district to make the establishment of the new hour necessary.

 Indications are that people from all over the state will come here to attend this great show, which is being staged by Uncle Sam. The flying exhibition will be the greatest ever staged here, ana then, too, it will give Birmingham cltl- ezns the chance of getting closeup View of all the models of aeroplanes used in the service
 The scout planes will make flights, the battle planes will go forth in the air in battle formation, the hospital ships Will be seen. as will the bombing planes, which created so much terror in the Rhinish towns and caused the Hun citl- zens to beg for mercy.
 Proceeds from the attraction will be turned over to the soldiers in order that a swimming pool may be built at Taylor Field, the event being given under the auspleces of the State Fair association.

SHOULDER ARMS"
 GREAT PHOTOPLAY
"When Do We Eat?" on Same Pro-
 gramme at Strand

Shoulder, Arms" at the Strand thea tre, in the mind of the reviewer IS without doubt the most human or any of the Chaplin comedies and will go a long way toward driving away the days worries. There is not dull moment in the entire three reels and the audiences were kept in continu- ous uproar.
 Taking. as it does. trench life as its motif, the comedians ingenuity is given full sway and one cannot help but laugh at his assumed s~ngfroid while under fire. his earnestness as sharp shooter, his unique camouflage. and other little Chaplin touches.
 Enid Bennett in the Paramount pie ture, ''When Do We Eat?" is being shown on the same programme, and is as delightful and pleasing picture as has been shown in Birmingham for sometime.
