PLANNING FOR SUMMER

You're going to need electricity on
your farm this summer. Thousands
OF farmers used it for the first time
last summer and are loud in their
declaration that they wouldn't &c
through another summer without
electricity to help out.
In the first place, electric lights be-
side being bright and radiant, are cool
lights. They will not heat up a room
after night as will all open fame light
Then electric lights do away with the
necessitysof cleaning smelly coal oil
amps and anterns-and how they dc
smelf on hot summer nights.
Then you'll want electricity this sum
mer to run the electric fans that will
cool the hot kitchen, that will make
cool breezes around the dining table
and that will drive the hot air out OF
the bedrooms and make the nights
comfortable.
All these things you are going to
want this summer and, if you want
them hard enough you can have them
The small individual electric plant has
been developed especially with the idea
'of giving eectricity to the. farm homes
no difference wehre they are located
And farmers are adopting them too. in
great numbers. Nowadays if you trav.
el the country roads in Maine or Ohio
in Alabama, Iowa or Oregon, you will
lind the farm homes lighted after dark
with electric lights, and served in the
day time with electricity from their
own electric plants.
If you want to enjoy electric SER
vice this summer yourself, it will pay
you to cast around a little and get
electricity would mean to you. If you
can get your buildings wired, the foun-
dation built for the electric plant and
the plant installed before theh OF and
busy summer days come YOU will be
well on the way to the most comfort.
