HONOR FOR CANADA.
Wins Championships at Interna-
tional Live Stock Show.
Splendid Exhibits, Both Of Animals
i and Grain, Won Admiration Of
Judges and Spectators.

One of the. most interesting sights
at the International Live. Stock show
at Chicago was the evening parades
of horses and cattle. AS the Cana
dian section of these .parades came In
to view, and as 1t passed around the
ring, there was continued applause.
There were two or three reasons for
this, the principal one being that in
this section there were the wonderful
Clydesdales, the. BelgIans and the Per-
cl,erons that had carried off champion
ships and first prizes The province
Of Saskatchewan had splendid dis
play Of Clydesdales and showed in
number Of classes, and in every class
they got In the money. A remarkable
and noted winning was that Of the
University of Saskatchewan, showing
Lady Bruce" female Clydesdale, in
"a class of "a and taking second. In
competition there were entries from
such famous studs as C0nyngham Bros.
Of Wilkesbarre, p. L. James of Easton,
Mass, and George Chiett of the same
state. She was beaten by an imported
mare, but was later made champion
American-bred mare and reserve
grand champion, an honor never before
conferred upon anything but an Inn
ported animal.
The following are some Of the good
things that Canada won at the Inter-
national, in fair fight and no favors.
Grand championship for Clydesdale
stations; championship for American
bred Clydesdale mares; reserve senior
and reserve grand championships for
Clydesdale mares; grand champion
ship for Southdown sheep; sweepstakes
grand championship for wheat for the
continent Of America; championship
/ for Durum wheat for America.
Another of the reasons for the ap-
plause given the Canadian sections of
the parade was the heartiness with
which the American spirit was imbued
that impelled 1t to greet with the full
est appreciation the efforts Of the win
ner, and the hundreds of Canadians In
the immense audience Of the amphi.
theater appreciated 1t.
The purpose that Canada had in
making exhibits from their farms,
whether 1t was Of live stock-and they
had 1t there in all branches-grains,
grasses or. roots, was to demonstrate
i that the war had not created devasta-
ton, that the country was alive with
interest In the matter Of production
and that 1t had ability to produce in a
manner that would bring 1t champion
ships, and what better place than the
international, where it would be placed
before thousands, many Of whom, with
the enlightenment thus gained ind
with a desire to better their condition,
would be made to realize that in the
neighboring country to the north there
was an opportunity that 1t might be
Of advantage to them to embrace.

BON HOMME RICHARD :

A N OLD STORY, yes. But 1 bet
N you didn't know she won her bat
tie with a bucket!
She was the flagship of our first
J. p. who was known by foreigners as
shat pirate
John Paul Jones named her after
the Almanac published by a certain,
B. Franklin. The latter's influence in
France made 1t possible for Americans
to fit out squadron Of reprisal
against the British.
4 In the summer Of 100 five Ameri-
can men-of-war crossed under Jones'
command. After painting the Scotch
coast red they fell in with an English
fleet. For rather obscure reasons only
two ships chose to engage, 81. NJ. s..

Richard.
The British was a first rate ship
of-the-lineN while the Richard was an
old converted Indiaman. The Scraps
could throw 600 pounds Of projectiles
to the Richards 444 pounds. Crews
were Of nearly equal size.
[ At the first broadside the Richards
big 18-pounders burst and smeared
their crews along the decks or splat-
tered them on the crossbeams over
head. Besides this disaster the swift
Scraps cross jones' bow and raked
him fore and aft, which in those days
was as good as "a home run in the
ninth inning with three men on.
At this pointo Of the combat the Limey
captain staged a famous Incident. by
his fatuous inquiry: "'Has your ship
struck" To which, as every school,
boy knows, Jones replied: II have
not vet begun to fight 'sss
So they went at It again. And they
got. all tangled up with each other.
Finally they just hung together and

The INLAND CANAL

Pensacola has been awarded an all
water. rate to New Orleans. which
means that Pensacola shippers and re-
ceivers of freight will be able to take
advantage of the reduction in freight
rates over the all-rail rate which has
hitherto existed. In other words.
freight originating in the Mississippi
valley takes the all-water rate from
New Orleans to Pensacola, and can be
received in this city via any steamship
line which will maintain a regular SER
vice to Mobile.
Now, 1t naturally follows that steam
ers TO be used in this short coastwise
trade must be small, and therefore
scarcely able to buck the severe
storms which sometimes sweep the
gulf. Therefore the need of a canal
from here to Mobile. connecting with
the inland waterway from Mobile to
the Mississippi Immediately becomes
apparent.
The best way to convince the war
department of the need of an inland
canal is to show that there is a move
ment of freight from New Orleans 70
Pensacola by water. If the chamber OF
commerce can show that there has
been 10000 tons of freight moved from
New Orleans to Pensacola. that will
be powerful argument in favor Of
a canal. Pensacola merchants can helm
make the canal possible.

FoRD's PROPOSAL.

Henry Ford has the happy faculty
of doing the unusual, and doing it first.
His latest sensation is his offer TO
the government of 100000 for the
Muscle Shoals nitrate plant, with an
additional payment of half million
annually for 100 years.
1t is a stupendous proposition. The
total purchase price would aggregate
vestment for the period of 100 years
would be half as much more.
A short time ago the farm organi-
cations of the country asked the gov
eminent to complete the plant, and
were told that it was impracticable.
Ford doesn't believe that is true and is
willing to stake several fortunes on
his judgment.
1t is hoped the government will ac-
cept the offer. 1t promises well, not
only as an industrial expansion at a
time when industry needs just such a
stimulus to start moving, but it also
promises to provide fertilizer at a
rate cheaper than it can be obtained
now. -------
Speaking of Mr.. ,Ford's proposal, W.
A. McRae, commissioner Of agriculture,
says:
Thus, pull off my hat to Mr.. Ford
for having the vision and the daring
to force the issue before congress and
the people of the United States. He
proposes to do what congress was
asked to do-make fertilizer for farm
ers and explosives for Uncle Sam in
time of war.
TVS is a case where money talks
on the right side. in more convincing
terms than the sophistry of the hired
tools of the trusts. If congress won't,
then let Mr.. Ford do the work of sup
plying an essential element to the
farmers with millions of hungry acres
with cheaper nitrogen, that the tenn
ing millions may be fed. There are
people who would starve thousands
and bankrupt millions If thereby they
could profit personally. We need men
today on the firing line of public opin-
ion who will say. They shall not passl'
just as was said along the battle line
in the vlne-clad hills and the poppy
strewn wales of Flanders.
May there be others like Henry
Ford, who will come forward and force
the government to do things, or take
down the barriers so that public spir-
tied citizens may act"

kilowatt- or kilowatt-hours A
kilowatt is a thousand watts. The
watt is the unit of electrical power,
found by multiplying together the num-
Der of volts-the volt is the unit of
electrical pressure-and the number of
amperes, an ampere being the quanti-
ty Of electricity which will flow
through a wire or other conductor
having a resistance of one ohm, at a
pressure of one volt. A watthour
therefore represents the work done by
one watt of electrical energy expended
for one hour and kilowatt-hour a
thousand times that amount
Perhaps it would make the electrical
energy represented by a kilowatt-hour
more readily understood by those not
versed in electrical matters to express
it in horse power. A kilowatt hour is
practically equivalent to one and one
third horse power hours, since TAG
watts equal one horse power. There
fore the rs K W. II. indicated in the
bill mentioned were equivalent to ap-
proximately 80 horse power hours.
Thus the householder to whom the bill
was rendered had had the equivalent
OF 80 morse power Tor one hour, or one
horse power for 35 hours.
Moreover, this energy was available
at any moment, and at the outlay of
only the energy involved in pressing or
turning a switch button, to light his
house run the electric fan, flat-iron,
washing machine, ironer, vacuum
cleaner, sewing machine, dishwasher,
toaster grill, percolator heating pad,
vibrator, ice cream freezer, electric
heater or other household appliances,
or to light his shop and operate the
various electrically driven machines it
contains. All the labor incident to the
generation and distribution of the cleo
trical current has been done for him.
He has not had to give moments
consideration to the operation Of en-
gines, waterwheels. generators, or to
repairs or fuel.
