Even after taking the greatest

tendent, "criminals may be able TO
get in their work or accidents may
happen. but carelessness in properly
locking houses or caring for prop

inals easy. but actually tempts many
persons of weak mind to commit
crimes"
Residents Of the ciAy are advised by
the acting superintendent to careful
ly fasten doors and windows of their
homes in order to safeguard their
lives and property. Prompt reports
of depredations always should be

use labor-saving machinery. The
Sma!: electric light and power plants
now in use on so many farms accom-
pllsh a lot OF this labor saving. In
stead OF spending hours pumping and
carrying water for stock and for all
household purposes the modern farm
fanny has an electric pumping system
installed, which keeps water at a pres
sure OF fifty pounds wherever it is
needed in the house or barns. Grind
stones, tanning mills and many other
light power appliances in the barn
which used to require the time Of two
men are now turned by electricity. In
the house the pumping, churning, sep
arating, sweeping, washing and ironing
are all done by electricity, relieving
the farmers wife Of great part OF
the burdens which have made her life
hard one. And Of course electric
light itself makes the farm home
bright and cheerful place to live.
Where electricity serves the farm
family we Rnd the best OF living con-
ditions, and we find too that every
member OF that family makes each
hour Of labor pay a profit.

ELECTRICITY FOR THE FAR MER

What is a farmers time worth ?
What is he worth an hour? Does he
charge his business-the business OF
farming-with the value Of the time
he gives to it? And does he know how
much time he is giving to executive
work and productive labor and how
much to non-productive labor? The
farmer who is not giving these things
little thought is not in the front rank
OF those who are making OF farming
what it really should be,-a business
on a business basis.
The average gross income from a
farm OF one hundred and City acres
will be something over $1,000. and to
produce that income between 1000 and
5000 hours OF productive labor are
required. This makes the average
productive labor hour worth about 40
cents
To make every one OF these 40 cent
hours productive Of its share Of profit,
II is necessary to reduce non-produc-
tive labor to the minimum, and in
farming as in manufacturing il has been
found that the best way to do this Is to

Our men had been tired out by the
strenuous work required to defeat the
rough team that came her from Berke-

Alsatias found us easy. Friday night,
however, in the last game of the
season, Shepherdstown and Haeers-
town locked horns in desperate
struggle, for both teams wanted that
game. The home players got the lead
in the beginning and held it all the
way through the game, winning by the

CERTAIN Democratic politicians Of
influence continue to hirt with what
is left OF the liquor business, and there
is possibility that the party will take
ZIP with those who, like Governor
Edwards Of New Jersey, would defy or
aorogate the prohibition laws. This
would be poiiucal suicide, for il the
Democratic party allies itself with the
outlaws who make every otner cond-
ZION subservient TO a restoration of the
whiskey business it will be deserted by

have been its very backbone.

ITS right funny 10 see the extra
ordinary efforts Of some Of the pol
iucians to Straddle the prohibition
fence. The frantic believing and iouo
outcries Of those who have lost the
profits of disreputable but lucrative
business are soaring them on the one
side, while on the other is the inn
mutable fact that iorty-hve of the
forty-eight States declared that the
nasty business shall not have a place
in our country. The liquor people
and the newspapers they control, such
as the Baltimore Sun, are making a 10
OF noise, but they are not representing
the real sentiment of this country.
