MANY HOME COMFORTS
Begin WITH GASOLINE
Supplies Farm Homes With Lights.
Fans, Water and Cooking
Conveniences-

We have almost forgotten that
Just a few years ago the only uses
found for gasoline were those OF
cleaning and cooking" said z. B. Do
ran, assistant professor of agronomy
Louisiana State University. ITO be
sure, grease spots are still taken out
with gasoline and possibly some corn
bread is still baked in an oven ON a
gasoline range, but, in the meantime,
our ideas as to the usefulness of gaso-
line have completely changed. We
connect the word gasoline now almost
wholly with the word power. When
we speak of gasoline we think of
power.
"And 1t is only still more recently
that gasoline stands for power in the
home The farmers wife is coming
into her own and gasoline is the mag
ic word.
I'VE must not neglect to explain.
however that the magic is brought
about by close association with cleo.
tricity. The gasoline is the source of
power for the small engine; the small
engine is connected to the generator,
and the operation Of the generate,
causes electricity to be stored in bat
terfes. From this point we branch
out into several lines. First, we have
electric lights, then electric current
Tor numerous small cooking appli-
ances. comfort from electric fans, and.
by an ingenious type of pump ami
tank the only completely satisfactory
system OF country water works.
1T begins with gasoline. The home
comforts of modern farm life are DOS
sfble only because of the readiness
and completeness with which this
clear, volatile fluid can be utilized"

WORMS CAUSE GREAT

Worms don't bark and howl, but
they kill more sheep and lambs than
