MIDDLETOWN LOST 10 MASSEY

The Middletown base ball team met
its second defeat of the season on
Saturday last, by the close margin of
to 5. Colt was the opposing team,
strengthened by Washing on College
battery, and two other college players.
In the third inning the locals went up
in the air, and allowed the visitors to
make four unearned runs; in fact not
one of their runs were earned.
Antworker, pitched a fine game,
allowing but seven hits, and these were
we'll scattered throughout the nine Inn
ings, and had he received good support
would have shut his opponents out.
However borrowing the one fatal inn
ing the home team played in their
usual good form.

A BATHROOM FOR THE FARM

In no way is electricity serving the
farm family better than in making pos.
| sible modern up-to-date bath room.
When water had to be pumped and
carried by hand, when it had to be
heated on the kitchen stove, and when
tubs had to be gotten out especially,
then getting ready for and taking a
bath meant lot of disturbance and
muss. But electricity has done away
with all this. The small electric light
and power plants now in use on so
ma ~ farms all over the country fur
nish plenty of power for the operation
of electric pumping systems. These
systems have been developed to such
great extent in the last few years. that
they are now almost entirely automatic.
Once installed, the pump driven by an
electric motor and controlled by pres
sure switch, keeps water under pressure
at faucets all over the house. The
water service thus obtained is in result
the same as that enjoyed in the city.
There are very efficient heaters, too,
which will heat plenty of water for a
bath in half hour or less, or which
will keep the water hot all the time if
desired. All this means that any men,
ber of the farm family can now have a
hot bath in a real tub at the mere turn
of the hot water faucet.
State health departments have for
many years urged the adoption on the
farm of sanitary measures such as in
door toilets and sewage disposal sys-
TENS and che same authorities are thor
oughly convinced of the value of the
health of the farm family of conven-
lent, ready at-the- minute bathing ia
cilities.
Many farms that have electricity
consider the bath room the best service
has given them, but there
are, of course, many other reasons for
the increasing popularity of electricity
on the farm. 1t gives the best of light
in all parts of the house and barn. it
does all such chores as pumping, milk
ing. separating and sweeping, and in
doing these things it lightens the labors
Of every member Of the farm family.

NEGROES LEAVING
SOUTHERN HOMES
FOR NORTHLANDS
Migration Increase Is Noted
in Census Report for the
Year Ending 1920.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE total
number of negroes reported as born
in southern states and living in the
north and west had increased from
.534 in 1910 10 7s0,794 in 1920, the
census bureau announced today in
special report on negro migration
based on returns OF the last census.
The southern boundaries Of New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, H.
linois. and Kansas were taken as the
dividing line between the North and
South for the purposes of the report
OF the 10,sS1 ,3O9 negroes enumerat-
ed in the last census there were 3S..
j75 for whom no state of birth was re.
ported The 7s07S4 southern born ne
groes shown to have migrated TO the
North or West constituted 81 per
cent of the total of 9,00G,94S negroes
born in the southern section. The
per centage Of this migration pre-.
ceding decade was not shown against
this migration from the South and
West 10 the total OF 741,97 reported
in the last census as born in states
OF the latter region, 47,223 or GA per
cent were living in the South Thus
the preparation of Southern born ne
groes who migrated TO the North or
West. according TO the report was
about one.fourth larger than the pro
portion of those born in the latter
region who migrated to the South.
While il is impossible to calculate
exactly the extent Of negro immigra-
ton from the South during the decade
ended with 1920" the report said,
the available data indicates that ap.
proximately 400 900 or somewhat more
than half OF the 73S73l survivors of
the net negro migration from the
South to the North and West prior TO
January /. 1920, left the South sub
sequently to April Is, 1920"
Although migration to the North
and West has not taken place among
the far southern negroes TO the same
extent relative to their total numbers
as among the negroes in the northern
part Of the South, there was neverthe.
less a pronounced increase in such
migration from the far South during
the past decade
