PRIVATE ELECTRIC
L G. I'll T p L A \ I S

During a generation we have pass
ed from the tallow dip to the Mazda
lamp. Tallow dip, candle, kerosene
lamp, gasoline and acetylene lights,
and electric lights succeeded each 9th
en-
The tall tallow dip standard some
times tipped over; the neglected can
die burned down and ran over, and car
ried into closets the candle set fire to
clothing The neglected lamp was
prone to explode and cats or children
pulling on the table cloth brought it
to the floor Gasoline and acetylene
lights were never free from the eX-
plosion danger SO we welcomed e.
lectricity as a convenient, clean and
safe light. 1t is safe only when prop
erly installed.
LET there be light" is not enough
now. We also want power to pump,
grind, churn, wash and sweep and
heat, to iron and cook on the many
modern devices The invisible "juice"
which can do all this must be har-
messed and controlled as is the tiny
drop of gasoline which propels the
heavy truck.
Because Of prohibitive expense only
a few nearby farmers can connect
with city plants; others must depend
on private plants for electric light,
heat and power.
These systems are Of low voltage,
and the dangerous theory is quite COM
mon that therefore they are free from
life and fire dangers. Neither Of these
dangers depend solely on voltage. A
strong, we'll man may survive a Sc
we're electric shock; slight shock
may be fatal to one with a weak
heart. Standing on a dry floor or a
rubber mat, it may be safe to touch
knife switch or brass socket;
standing on wet floor or in a bath,
this is dangerous.
In a building where there is moth
ing to burn, poor wiring may do no
harm Such is not the case in farm
barns particularly. The dampness
of the stockbarn is destructive to wire
insulation, and short circuit may
at any time ignite the gathered cob
webs. In the hayloft hay, straw, cob
webs and dust are usually in contact
with wires. fixtures and unenclosed
switches and fuse blocks. Under
these conditions the slightest electric
trouble may cause a disastrous fire
| Conduit wiring is advisable in barns
All work should be done in strict
conformity with the National Elec-
| trical Code. This is the standard
throughout the land, and the lega
standard of this state.
Farmers can do no better than tt
purchase these plants, installed, from
some known, reputable dealer, under
contract that all work comply with
said code A reputable dealer cannot
afford to let either death or fire come
back to plauge his conscience, be
cause of incompetent work.
Shun the man who tells you thai
these plants are free from danger anC
that expert knowledge is not needed
| to install them.
Mr. Farmer, your buildings, house
increasing values. You are no
prepared to fight fire. Prevention i:
your only protection.

BUILD A SILO

If you want to save on feed,
Build a silo.
1t will help in time Of need;
Build a silo
Build of concrete if you would;
Build of brick or build of wood;
Build Of anything that's good,
But build a silo.
Dairy feeds are soaring high;
Build a silo.
Summer seems a-goin' dry;
Build silo.
Cows, too, go dry on hay,
Sort of seem to fall away.
They need silage every day,
SO build silo.
Pasturage cost quite a heap;
Build silo.
Winter feeds are never cheap;
Build a silo.
Build it wide and build it deep,
'Cordin' to the cows you keep,
And for milk you'll never weep,
So build a silo
That's the burden of my song,
Build a silo.
Milk will flow, and smiles i come,
With the separator,s hum,
And you'll shout, 'I'm glad, by gum
| built a silo."

 Audra Alden proved acceptable in the role of Agnes Moran who is called upon to choose between one suitor who is wealthy but interruptions and a poor man of high ideals. Married life with both men is shown her in dream which guides her to a decision.
 One of the outstanding features of the performance was the work of Wayne Campbell as Mike Moran, father of Agnes, whose characteriza- tion was a real treat to those who appreciate clean cut comedy as dis tinguished from 'hoakum."

 Benton also told me that before that game started McGraw told him to either win or buy a ticket home.' don't know just what McGraw may have meant by that remark, but at any rate New York won."

WHEELER HAS HIS SAY

WASHINGTON, Sept 26-Governor Cox and Senator Harding are in diff ferent situations as regards prohibit ton, Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun- sel of the Anti-Saloon league, tonight said, explaining why identical tele- grams were not sent both candidates
 Senator Harding had voted for the Volstead act and for submission of the eighteenth amendment,' Mir. Wheeler said. Tt was only a question whether he stood by his record as indicated by his vote for the Volstead act. Gov ernor Cox has no record on the pro- hibition code. He was being quoted constantly by liquor interests as pledged to beer and wine amend ment. The query to him naturally was whether that was true.''

PRESS COMMENTS.
ROOT JOINS THE FAKERS.

Elihu Root has now entered into law
partrcrship with the weIl-kndMn Republi-
can firm Of Wiggle Il Wabble for the Do
fcnse OF tho Harding campaign. AS tho
attorney for n crooked client, Mr.. Root
is trying TO make the best cnse be oar, re-
gardless of the previous acts and uttcrances
OF Eiihu Root M n responsible statesman.
In his speech at Carnegie Hall, Mr..
Root asserted that Article X il moon
sistent with tho purpose and spirit OF the
league but eighteen months ago Mr..
Root wns arguing that regardless of tho
objections to Article X it should be re-
tanned for at least fvo years in order to
stabilize the peace OF the world.
letter to Will II. Hays, chairman OF the
Republican National Committee, in which
he proposed certain amendments TO the
covenant of the league. Among them was
the following amendment to Article X:
After the cxpiratio Of FIVE years from
the signing Of the convention any party
may terminate it's Obligations under this
article by giving ore y.ars notice IN
writing TO the ecrttary-general OF tho
league"
Mr.. Roots objection to Article x, as
stated In his letter. was not that il created
government" as Senator Harding
has 80 foolishly declared, or that il would
drag the United States into war against its
will, az Mr.. Root himself now prctends,
but that it, made existing boundaries
permanent: Change and growth are the
law OF life, and no generation can impose
its will in regard 10 the growth OF nations
and the distribution of power upon sue
ceeding generations. / think, however,
that this article must be considered not
merely with reference to the future but
with reference to the present situation IN
Europe. Indeed, this whole agreement
ought to be considered in that double as
pect"
After reviewing that situation in detail,
Mr. Root arrived at this carefully con
sidered conclusion: Order must be re-
stored. The Allied Nations in their Coun-
Gil must determine the lines of feconstruc-
ton. Their determinations must be en-
forced. Under these conditions the United
States cannot quit. II must go on to its
duty, and the immediate aspect Of Article
y is an agreement TO do that"
That is what Elihu Root believed before
the impossible Harding had been named
for President by the Republican Semi
torial oligarchy. Now that the Repubii-
can candidate for President has surrender
cd to the hyphenated vote and TO the
Battalion Of Death, Mr.. Root has meekiy
taken his place among the cutters and
submitted brief in justification OF his
client. The United States must no longer
20 on TO its duty. 1t must hide under the
bed and shirk all responsibility ty.-New
