In the same way the name
of Volta, another LATHAM,
who developed the first sue
,cessful electric battery, is
used to designate "Voltage,'
which is:
The electrical pressure
which sends electric current
Through a wire; just as
"pressure" designates the
force which sends water
through a pipe. Thus a "60-
volt" current of electricity
differs from a "120-volt" cur
rent of electricity as a Is
pound water pressure differs
from a 3O-pound water pres
sure.
Water is trans m i t t ed
through hollow pipes; cleo
trio energy through solid
wires. Water runs through
the hole in the pipe, the out
side of which confines and
presents the loss of the wa
ter. In the transmission of
electrical energy the copper
core of the wire corresponds
to the "hole' in the pipe, and
the insulation corresponds to
the pipe itself, combining and
preventing the escape of
electric energy, or current.

Have you ever stopped to think
how many places and how much
place is Rosby? Half of Rosby is in
Helga township and half in Bemidji,
half is in Hubbard county and half
in Beltrami county. Just. few rods
east we find FROM and Fardin town

away is Cass county. There are two

ern and the 500 Line. Rosby boasts
of fine creamery and well she may.
The butter made here is of such good
quality that some residents Of Be-
midi consider it a privilege to drive
out from town to purchase it. There
are two hustling little general stores,
a potato warehouse and there is soon
to be a community center building
for Union Sunday<school work. A lot
more could be said for Rosby, but
isn't it some place for such little
place? :. ..,<.
: John Burpe had in about one hun
dred twenty acres of potatoes this
year. His brother James Burpe, Jr.,
will be associated with him in the
potato venture next year. They have
a warehouse at Rosby and are plan
ming on several more. Besides rails
ing a large acreage themselves, they
expect to buy and sea- potatoes on a
large scale.
Some people, no names mentioned,
are lucky enough to take rifles in
hand, walk to the reserve limits and
just far enough beyond for good
range and shoot Mr.. Buck, who be-
ing old enough to die, tags around
after some people.
There came to Hedge township
about; two years ago one Rasmus
Halverson. He made contract with
J. p: Pogue to clear forty acres of
land for which service he was to re-
ceive twenty acres. Mr.. Halverson
fulfilled his part Of the contract a
year ahead of time, so did Mr.. Pogue,
the results being that Henderson has

land under, cultivation, several cords
of wood to sell, with more to cut
and last year he raised five hundred
bushels Of potatoes on two acres. Mr..
Halverson is bachelor.
Speaking of bachelors around here,
is would take four hands of five

Home Rule Upheld
"The outstanding features of the
as the cities were concerned" said the
report, were the numerous and form-
dable efforts to break down the prin-
ciple of municipal home rule which has
gradually become engrafted into our
laws; the repeated attempts to increase
the number of tax exemptions, which
are already too numerous in this state;
the efforts of state departments TO in
crease their powers by taking away
from city governments municipal ac-
tivities which they have operated and
supervised; and the endeavor of the
traction companies to deprive munich
palities of franchise powers and to
transfer to the cities the cost of paw
ing, construction and maintenance. The
united and vigorous opposition of the
cities was productive Of splendid re-
suits, as it defeated all OF these at
tempts to decrease municipal powers
and functions and to increase the cost
of government
