ELECTRICITY REVOLUTIONIZES
LIFE ON THE FARM

The Domestic Engineering COM
pany, manufacturers Of Delco-Light,
has placed more than $4,000 Of these
electric plants on farms In sum-
mer homes. stores, schools. churhes,
motion picture theatres. telephone
exchanges and on yachts and mo-
tor boats. Most of them are on
farms, but all are furnishing elec-
tricity in places where electric service
would be out of the question If it
were not for simple, compact. eff
cient Delco-Light.
To even the casual observer the
Delco-Light exhibit at 212 Erie ST.,
Toledo, Ohio, will give good idea
Of what it means to have cleo
tricity on the farm for lighting the
house and barn and to help out with
chores. There is scarcely a piece of
light farm machinery, from the feed
grinder down, that cannot be hooked
up to an electric motor run by Deico-
Light. The washing machine, the
grindstone. the tanning mill, churn,
cream separator. electric fans. vac
uum sweeper, any Of the small ap-
by electricity from your own electric
plant.
One of the most important features
offered at the DelcO-Light exhibit this
year is the new DelcO-Light water
system. small affair so far as size
goes, yet it is able to furnish from
275 to $50 gallons of water per hour,
making it possible OH the farm to
have water under pressure for house.
hold use, for the stock and for fire
protection.
Delco-Light on the farm is chang
ing entirely the character Of living

farm.

The price trend in all farm produce
is positively downward. Europe can
go months on her own crops. With
exchange so unfavOrable, she will re-
duce her imports to the minimum. 1t
is probable that America will ship
fpodstuffs most heavily during the lat
ter half of the season. Now that post
ponement of the railroad strike has
been made contingent upon the gov
ernment's success in it's attack upon
the high cost Of living, lower prices
are virtually assured, at least for some
i time. July food exports show mark
ed decline from June. when the Amer
lean Relief Administrations program
ended. HOover's statement that
northern European ports are overflow
ing with meat, fats and dairy prod
ucts tended further to confirm the
downward trend.
In answer to the perplexing ques-
ton, what should the farmer do with
prices tumbling, market critics advise
moderation. If producers food the
grain and livestock markets, they will
only effect violent breaks and suffer
the more. Yet they will hardly find 1t
wise to hold tenaciously. The public
expects lower prices and price agita-
siOn will dominate the markets for
some time.
Running the farm like corpora
tion-an experiment that will be tried
near Reading, Pa.-has more than
superficial interest for the progressive
farmer The Reading company will
issue $4,000 capital stock, employ
1850 acres in raising gran, dairy and
garden products, cattle, and horses,
and maintain a store for distribution.
1t intends operating verftable open
air factory. Doubtless others will fol-
low its example. The nation has come
to recognize that farming, far from
being a haphazard enterprise, can be
conducted as business and science
Books of accounting have been in
stalled on many farms. Business ad-
ministratiOn invariably improves up
on earlier careless methods.
The department Of Agriculture has
invited foreign governments to ap-
point representatives to attend an In
ternational Farm congress at Kansas
City, Mo-, September 25 to 27, where
modern farming methods and equip
ment, including markets. will be dis
cussed. The international agricultural
movement has gained volume and i'm
portance steadily during recent years,
and the interchange of ideas Is gener-
ally recognized as advantageous. The
American congress should prove an
other forward step.

Car shortage has been reported
from many parts of the grain belt.
Box car loadings have increased over
Il few weeks ago, but the number of
tons per car has decreased from last
year. The livestock markets have
neve. been more erratic than at pres
ent.- Quotations are often worthless
when they reach the country. While
the hog movement may be curtailed, a
fair run of Western cattle and sheep
will continue, many traders believe.
Corn is reversing its poor start, and
harvest will begin about the mid
month in some regions. Corn exports
from the Argentine have gained vol
ume, relieving European needs.

PRESIDENT WILSON
TOURS COUNTRY IN
INTEREST OF LEAGUE

President Wilson is carrying the
dght for the League of Nations
right to the people. to the citizens
of the United States, whom, he
says, are the only ones to whom he
he owes any report.
He is making countrywide tour
and speaking before large audiences
to win support for the Peace Pact.
Points Wilson Makes in Tour for
League.
The treaty contains Magma
Charta of labor and next month
there is to be the first world assem-
bly, of this kind in Washington. 1t
will be held whether the treaty is
ratified by that time or not.
1 testify that this is an American
treaty, not only, but it is treaty,
that expresses the hearts Of the peo-
pie. If l could not have brought
back this kind of treaty 1 would
have been an unfaithful servant
l never entertain moments
doubt but that the treaty will be
accepted. and the only thing 1 have
been impatient about is the delay.
1t is not a dangerous delay except
.Or the temper Of the peoples scat
tered throughout the world who are
waiting.
Do you realize the world is wait
'ng on America? The only country
IN the world that is trusted at this
moment is the United States, and
they are waiting to see If that trust
Is justified or not.
We had taken by processes of
law the flower of our youth and we
old those mothers and fathers and
sisters and wives and sweethearts
that we were fighting war which
would end business of that sort. If
we do not end it; If we do not do
the best that human concert Of ac-
ion can do to end it, we are, of all
men, the most unfaithful.
The treaty is unique in the his
tory Of mankind because the center
of it is the redemption of weak ma
ions. There never was congress
# nations before that considered
the rights of those who could not
enforce their rights. This treaty
builds up nations that never could
aave won their freedom in any 9TH
er way.
