FARMERS WIFE
PROFITS BY new
! LIGHTING PLAN
Is Now Able to Do the Churn-
ing, Sweeping, Ironing,
Etc., by Means Of
Electricity.

Mr.. w. L. Killy, president and
general manager Of Killy & Moves
company, Willys-Light distributors
for eastern Nebraska and western
Iowa, says:
"The farmers wife, after genera
tons of irksome toll, is coming into
her own.
with the universal adoption Of
the auto and the more recent per-
lection of individual electric light
ing and power plants, her home life
has undergone an epochal change.
Churns by Electricity.
For the most part she churned
by hand, washed by hand, swept by
hand and sewed by uncertain light.
The result was that she grew old
before her time and enjoyed none of
the pleasures to which she was
rightfully entitled.
No development of the eroa has
done SO much to better her condition
as the modern electric lighting and
power plants. With the perfection
OF these a decided change has been
brought about in her daily life.
Where once she bent over tub she
now has power washer. The hand
! churn she has discarded for one
operated by all electric motor. The
old broom has been supplanted by
vacuum cleaner. The smoking oil
lamp has been replaced by an cleo
trio portable. The sewing machine
and milk separators are now equip
ped with motors.
The irooning is done by cleo
tricity. There is modern sanitary
plumbing and running water in the
house-improvements which may be
traced directly to the new plants
which furnish the necessary power
for pumping.
"For the first time the women
folks of the farm are living like
their city cousins. The recent an
nouncement and demonstration of
new electric lighting and power
plant known as WHY'S Light, BY the
Electric Auto-Lite corporation of
Toledo, has done much to bring the
potential value of these modern
home electric systems to the atten-
ton of the farmer.

ROAD BUILDING.

Nebraska and Neighboring
States to Secure Equip
ment Early for Spring
Work.

c. c. Dawson, district representa-
tive of the Lee Loader Body COM
pany, builders of road building ma
chinery traitors and body equipment,
spent the latter part of the week
with Kopac Brothers, who represent
their line in this section.
Mr.. Dawson feels that Nebraska
and other western states will buy a
great deal of their equipment dur
ing the coming season in order to
facilitate the road improvement
program which is now under way.
According to Mr.. Dawson the old
day of building roads with road
scrapper and drag is past. 1t is
now necessary to employ modern
methods far more efficient than the
old style road drag. Many of the
western counties are already fgur-
ing on machinery and equipment
which will enable them to build
good roads and permanent roads in
a short period of time.
Mr.. Dawson aside from having
been connected with many big en-
cheering projects throughout the
country is known to the sportsmen
OF almost every country on the
globe. Dawson has been "big

sited almost every corner of the uni

has been the administratpr of the es- tate of Allen T. Smith, who died on March 15, 1916. Action was brought hy persons interested in the settle ment of the estaJe in question to re- move Jonathan Il. Smith as adminis- t-ator. which effort was successful, it being alleged that he was not pro- ceeding with the settlement of the es- tate as he should because he would not sell the real estate at public auc- ton. Mir. Smiths wife is an heir of Allen T. Smith. The cases were tried together, both having appealed, though on different grounds, from the decision of the probate court of the town of killingiy.
 Selectman Alcott D. SayIes of the town of Killingly was called as the first witness. NIT. Saylea, after the death of Allen T. Smith, was appointed conservator of Mrs Smith. He testi- fed that the probate court of Killing ly allowed Mrs. Smith B a. week from her husbands estate during the time pending settlement. He tried to have the estate settled promptly, being anx- ious lest Mrs. Smith should become d town charge.
 He said he had interviewed the ad- inihistrstor, Jonathan Smith, relative to having the Allen T. Smith place sold and asked MT Smith why, as administrator, he didn't sell the prop erty, which is located in the eastern section of Killingly. Eventually action was taken that brought forth an order from the Killingfy probate court that the place be sold at public auction The administrator will persist in refusing to hold such sale. and said he was so doing by advice at counsel. MT. Sayles applied for Mr Smiths remo- val as administrator and he was re- moved. Tie property remains unsold.
