Dispatch asserts that General Sherman
laid It IN Columbus On August 12, 1880.
md In support Of the assertion pro-
auces from Its hles the copy of a
ihort address he made there at that
nme. In which the now famous ex-
preston defining war was made.
The occasion was a reunion Of the
Civil war soldiers OF Ohio. President
Hayes was . guest OF honor, and most
'f the living generals Of the Civil war
we're present. The addresses wa-e
made In the open at Franklin park.
II WAS raining hard when General
5herinan's turn came to speak, but he
vtOOd out uncovered and delivered his
short speech. As published, 1t CON
iained just 3Os words. Abiding to the
tact that old soldiers did not mind the
cain, he continued:
"You all know that this Ia not SOL
diering. There IL many a boy here to-
day who thinks war Is all glory, Tut.
boys, IL Is all hell. You Gun bear that
warning to generations yet tS come.
! look upon 1t with horror, but, If It
has to come, I am here"
This last clause brought great ap-
plause and when 1t subsidized the gen.
enl proceeded on. another line OF
thought.

The value Of words Is going up, at
least In Rouen. There the courts
have decided that the artistic values
Of the words and music o. a poem are
equal. At present In the United
States and Canada the writer Of the
words of song gets only a pittance
II the royalties or q small sum out
right at the start. In England many
Of the most popular ballads have
brought their writer's no more than
two or three guineas. while the COM
poser goes on cashing his royalty
checks for years. What measure pub.
fishers apply to the two arts thus
combined to make words SO much less
valuable than music Is rather hard to
understand. Verse writer's might well
send little gold medal to the just
minded citizens Of ROuen who have
ruled 1t q false one.

Electricity for Every Farm

An advertiser published recent
ly by the Delco-Ligffs Company of
Dayton, Ohio, announces that there
are over 100000 Delco Light electric
light and power plants in service or y
American farms. To those who have
watched the progress OF agricultural
improvements and advancement in
this country this announcement gives
cause for thought as to the future of
electric service for the farm. ,
In September, 1902, the town Of Le-az
banon, Ohio, held its first Centennial;
Celebration. There were at that time \
two residents of the village who owned s
automobiles, wheezy and asthmatic af-
fars of the "one-lung' type, resembl-s
ing made over buggies in appearances
Occasionally they could be persusdci q
to run for a short distance, but most
of the time they were stalled in the /.
barn are on the streets, and their ow<
ners were stretched on their backs uni
derneath, tinkering with the insides. u
The history of the automobile in.
dnstry suggests a prophecy forAtfe su-h
ture. And indeed today We : fIid flIHf
prophecy well on its way toward fulsx
fillement. ~
| The first farm electric plant>was ir5a
stalled some thirty years ago and theretl
seems to have been little progress
ment along mechanical lines. IJicee
the first automobile it had a great

| little if any effort was made toward !
stimulating interest in TIE idea of eletLs.
tric service for the farm. The natuE
raj result was that despite the funds-
mental soundness of the idea, only
1900 plants had been installed on
farms in this country ZIP to four years
/ ago. So
Then suddenly a change took place.
The Dayton Engineering Laboratories
Company of Dayton. Ohio, known all
would market farm electric plant
of "Delco" starting, lighting and ig-
lnition euuipment. announced that ii
designed and built upon new lines.
The experience of this company in
building electrical apparatus for au-
tomobiles was doubtless of invaluable
assistance i'm the early engineering
work and probably helped them to
produce a plant which was successful
from the first. A new concern, now
known as the lcoLight company.
and also located at Dayton, was. or
ganized for manufacturing and selling
work. The product was produced un-
der the name "Delco- Light"
| It's a long cry from the centennial
celebration in Lebanon, o.. to "elec-
! tricity for every farm" and the aver
age citizen of that day probably
dreamed npitb tbar of fbo autn,,,l,fl, a = (

light and power for the farm. Yet to-
