ELECTRIC STOVE GAINS
IN FAVOR EACH YEAR

The electric stove is no novelty In
the kitchens of the West. while in
the East 1t is gaining ground year
by year, especially small stoves or
cookers that permit oven. baking and
the use of at least two hot plates on
top. Such stove BENEFITS the house
wife in the following manner: First.
there is no waste heat: therefore she
works in a cool kitchen. Second, alb
solute cleanliness is possible at all
times. Third, labor is reduced to a
minimum because an electric stove is
always ready. Fourth, with no flame
there is safety. Fifth, the character
of the stove permits more time for
social duties.
Summing up. therefore, II is evil
dent that an electric stove is safer,
superior and socially more acceptable,
big time and labor saver. compared
with old-time stoves. Without dirt.
ashes, gases or smell. it makes an
ideal addition to a clean and well-kept
household. AS no oxygen is con-
sumed by IL. the air of the home Ii
purer. As 1t is small, no kitchen Is
crowded by it's use. AS IL is scientific
in construction and operation. II
means that the housewife can pre-
determine results with certainty in
roasting, baking or stewing. You
can cook by the clock" is a phrase
quite justifiable now.

ELECTRIC HEADLAMP
IS HERE TO STAY.
Special DINNER Makes II Prac-

sable oil-burning illuminatiye head
light. and in It's place there has come
to stay a new electric headlight with
its 900 900 beam candlepower.
The electric headlight at first was
somewhat troublesome. espec ally in
railroad yards, for, like many other
new appliances, il was TOO good"
That is. IL was too powerful, and II
blinded the, enginemen and yardmen.
This has been overcome, by the use
OF a special DINNER. and whenever
the locomotive is passing through the
railroad yards or passing another
tran. the DINNER is used and the
candlepower OF the electric headlight
Is reduced to approximately that OF
the oil-burning headlight.
To provide for the extra lights
about the engine. including the elec.
trio light for the fireman, as well as
the marker and classificat' on lights
on the front of the engine, the
steam driven dynamo mounted on the
engine Is rated at 500 watts. The
engineer also enjoys the electric
light nowadays. and by means OF the
switches and DINNER he can control
the lights instantly as desired.
The electric generating equipment
is very compact and takes up slight
space on the locomotive. The dyna-
mo is thoroughly enclosed to. guard
against the elements. but so designed
that the electrician can swing open

The dynamo and small steam tur-
bine are driven and mounted on the
same shaft, the turbine taking steam
from the locomotive boiler through
an automatic regulator valve, which
compensates every variation in boil
er pressures between 125 and $50
pounds, superheated steam. so as to
keep the dynamo revolving at nearly
constant speed. The dynamos are
supplied IN different voltages, from
80 to 10, for the requirements OF
different railroads. These outfits are
very efficient, only sufficient steam
to perform the actual work required
being admitted to the turbine nozzle.
I'm the headlight bulb is enclosed in
a nitrogen gas envelope, so as to give
thef highest efficiency possible.

ELECTRIC INCUBATOR
IS PUT ON MARKET

An electric incubator especially de-
signed for city and suburban poultry
raisers recently was put on the
market
The incubator has capacity OF
seventy-hve eggs. IL is heated by
two electric light globes placed in the
top compartment. Between these
globes and the lower egg chamber is
a steel plate, which retains and dis
tributes the heat so that there is an
even temperature In all parts OF the
incubator. A thermostat regulates

some mighty interesting things about
what farmers buy. For instance,
there were in 1919 only two thirds as
many accessory orders as plant or
ders. About every third farmer who
bought a plant bought fan. An
average OF only three fixtures was
sold with each plant. Only one In
every nine plant buyers buys mo-
tor, while nearly every plant buyer
buys-a heating device of some kinA.
About one in every nine buys vac
uum cleaner or a washing machine,

be gaining more rapidly than the
sales OF cleaners.

would appear that the farm plant

makes it possible for farmer to pay three One-cent payments. And this is made possible without the compound ing of interest, without building and loan association computations, without actuarial figures of any kind, but by plain simple interest at 6 per cent. You, who are familiar with the amorti- zatiOn table, understand how the farmer pays 6 per cent interest on his loan and pays 1 per cent additional each year for thirty-three years to wipe out the principal.
 Can Pay Principal Any Time.
 "Under the farm loan act, the bor- rower may pay off his loan before the expiration of the 33 years, if he chooses. He is permitted to pay off any part of his debt on any interest payment date, after five years, without previous notice.
 q want to get into the record this plea from the farmers of the West. 1 want to say that this law in it's pres ent effectiveness is necessary in order to keep the farmer on the farm. In the corn belt which is the garden spot of the nation, the population in 1910 was less than in 1880. At the same time the cities of that corn belt have increased their population by 1oO per cent. You have got to do something to keep the farmer on the farm. You have got to give him some benefits. He is the only man in this nation who has had no particular benefit from the government.
 "We are now in the most critical pe- riod of the worlds history, and if this law increases production-and it does it surely should not be interfered with for the next three or four years"
 Tells of High Rates in Montana.
 When Senator Gronna asked Mir. Ramsey if it was necessary for the people of Montana to have joint stock land bank in order to promote agriculture, Mir. Ramsey replied:
 'It is absolutely necessary in order to get money at 6 per cent. I want to say to you that the mortgage com panies in our state have no rate less than per cent and that they are get ting s, 9 and 10 per cent. We have filed exhibits with your committee showing that the mortgage houses are getting 10 per cent, and that some times they are exercising usury above 10 per cent, getting commission of 10 per cent. This is the situation in Mon tana and that is why am pleading for per cent money to develop the state" ,"

George l.. Ramsey Tell How Montana Men Feel About Working of
 Farm Loan Act.

"For the first time in their lives farmers can now feel comfortable when they put a mortgage on their farm."
 George l.. Ramsey, president of the Montana Joint Stock Land bank at Helena, Mont, made this statement when he appeared before the senate committee on banking and currency to protest against the Shoot bill, which would put tax upon farm mortgage bonds issued by joint stock land banks.
 He said in part:
 How Long, Loans Are Paid. "1 have had farmers say to me, This is the first time I have felt comfortable in my life,' when the papers were signed and the money turned over. The reason for this statement was that heretofore they had looked forward to five-year renewal of their mortgage subject to the favor of a mortgage broker and subject also to the pay ment of a commission. They have said to me: Today I have my loan placed for 33 years and now 1 can see plainly that I shall be able to pay this debt, It is wonderfully beneficen1 provision of the farm loan act which
