Farming on Business Basis.


Day by day the farmer is coming to
q fuller realization of the fact that
the farm as we'll as the factory must
be run on business lines if farming is
to be made really profitable. There is
no better proof of the great profit pos
sibilities in agriculture than the fact
that forming has always been the
means of making good living and
often comfortable fortune despite
the very inefficient methods used in
our gradfathers' aud even in our faith.

The city manufacturer would be in
the bankruptcy court in a very short
time if he employed merely hand labor

applicable to the busiess he would

Ors. In fact he would not be able tc
do any business at all because he
would be unable to sell his product at
price anywhere near the competing
price of the machine-using manufac.
turer The principal of increasing pro-
duction through labor saving has been
recognized on the farm as well as in
the city with the result that mechani-
cal equipment of all kinds has replaced
to great extent the old, time-worn
hand work methods of doing business.
And now the farmer is following the
city man yet another step toward real
living efficiency. Mr.. City man has
learning that labor saving is a good
thing not merely in his business but in
his daily life at home that he will have
more energy for his daily work if he
can enjoy his leisure hours to the full
without having to do any firing non
productive work. The farmer is follow.
ing his example in this respect and
today on farms where the pumping
churning, sweeping, washing, milking
and hundred other firing chores
were done by hand in time outside of
the real working hours, we now find
the farmer and his wife and family
enjoying the leisure that their hard
work entities them to. Electricity fur.

power plants, has become the house

one thinks of when electricity is men
toned and it Is true that electric light
is universally used wherever it can
be obtained. 1t is also true that elec-

ence in the farm home, Frightening
and cheering every phase of home life. |
But many a farm family is finding that
the work electricity does through the
many electric power appliances now
available for home use in even great

In Memoriam,

In loving remembrance of little Ag
mes Robicheaux:
A precious one from US has gone,
a voice we loved is stiIled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given,
And though the body slumbers here
Her soul is safe in Heaven.
Grieve not loved one, as those who
have no hope,
For little Agnes is not dead, she is
sleeping in the arms of Jesus.

ASK DELAYN
REROUTING PLAN
Engineers Favor Closer Study
of Street Railway Problems.

There viii be two meetings OF the In
dianapOlis Chapter Of the American AS
ISOLATION of Engineers next week. at the
indianapolis Chamber Of Commerce build
ing, one Wednesday noon and the other
Thursday evening.
The following report, by 4 special COM
mittee. on the matter Of street railway
rerouting, has been adopted by the chap
ter:
"On the matter Of street railway re-
routing, your special committee on that
subject beg leave to report:
THAT as the result Of the chapter dis
cussions and the committees study Of
the matter, they are strongly Of the opin-
ion that disjointed and hRphazard at
tempts to improve matters for either the
public or the company, such as the pend
ing city ordinance for a general loop, are
wrong in their inception and would prove
harmful in their application; that the
move by the Chamber Of Commerce for q
thorough expert study Of the whole sub
ject applicable TO a long term Of years
should be encouraged and supported"
The opinion expressed in the report
was further that the entire subject should
be considered as one Of the major parts
OF the duties OF the city planning com
mission; should be interviewer with the
other features thereof and any action
should await a-detailed report by that
commission, treating the subject In all
its phases and not its mere relation to
values Of central real estate; that II
probably would be fair for the city and
the company. TO share the cost Of en-
ploying an expert engineer to consult
with the commission and report to them.
THE committeeman are confident
continued the report that the street
railway routes as at present established
are in many respects susceptible Of vast
improvement with probable savings in
operating cost. whereby the continuance
Of the scent fare may be ASSURED that
the annoyances and inconyeniences OF {
fare including odd cents should be
avoided if possible to do so, besides the
added tax upon the cOmpany's patrons.
tt is seIf-eyident that any public utility
must earn enough to pay its operating
expenses and legitimate fixed charges
the company at the present time is
barely doing this, If at all. aud the great
addition TO operating expense entailed
by adding many miles Of car travel
without any proPortiOnate increase in
revenue, as would be OccasiOned by the
enforcement of the proposed loop ordi-
nance, would drive the company into
early bankruptcy, to the great detriment
OF the public service and general injury
to the community"
