Science and Invention describes q re-
cent achievement of a French scientist
who has successfully tried out In his
house q scheme for operating electric
lights without cost.
Upon his wGter-supply pipe he has
fitted highspeed water turbine,
which drives Il dynamo, charging
storage battery, Every time faucet
is turned on in the house the stream
Of water is put to work at loading the
battery, which furnishes current for
the lights. 1T is simply utilizing en-
ergy that is ordinarily wasted" says

It renders the land unavailable fOH

Another method of curtalI--
inc expenses is to produce more
for home consumption in order
to reduce so far as practicable.
the cash outlay for food. The.
orchard, the garden, the poul,-
try yard and the feed lot can
be made to produce many good
things to eat for which we have
in recent years substituted puf-
chased foods. Many farmers
now see the wisdom Of return
irg to the production of more!
home supplies, even if this does
mean smaller quantities of pro-
ducts for the market.

CHANGERS OPERATE
CONSUMERS UNIONS

The Agricultural Grange News, .
the official organ of the Washington
State Grange, describes its work as
follows:
Our Grange warehouses are con-
sumers' unions. They sell very little
that we farmers produce. They can
not afford to pay as much for eggs as
does the (producers) poultry associa-
ton, for they are not specializing in
eggs. They cannot afford to pay as
much for fruit as do our (producers)
canneries; they cannot afford to pay
as much for milk as does the (produc-
ers') milk products associations.
Hence the Grange warehouses are
not primarily farmers affairs. for far
mers as such are not producers; while
the Grange warehouses are consum-
ers' (buyers) stores"
A recent direct report from the Seat
tie office of the Associated Grange
Warehouse Co. says: The greatest
need was for a central system of book
keeping and accounting, and central
control of business practices. So a
central auditing and bookkeeping de-
partment was added to the organiza-
ton, and now score or more Of
Warehouses make daily reports and
have their records kept in this Of
flee. This system has been a wonder
full help to many of our Warehouses
and we believe it is the backbone of
our whole system. We are gradually
working, our business more on the
Rochdale methods.

speare in one of his plays, who de-
manded pound of human flesh to

hundreds of years has been set forth
as an incarnation of greed and deprav-

sands of unprincipled, cold-bIooded

thousands Of American farmers and

Judge George Slime, awed by the
ferocious appearance OF the groom in
marriage ceremony which he per-
formed at his office in the courthouse

Amos Eagle Boy and Anna Bird
Necklace, young people Of Indian
blood from LaPiant, S. D., were the
contracting parties and while the
loneliness Of the bride stirred with
in the court a manly inclination to
press his lips to her cheek, he took
one long glance at the young aborigine
whom he had made her husband and
refrained. Eagle Boy appeared to be
in no mood for trifling and bulge
in the side of his coat, suggested that
there lay his tomahawk and Judge

purchase Of the same kind, let it be a

down a $40 note of United States bank
and gets. besides his parcel, Sl.55 in
change. There was no difference Of
any kind. certainly not a difference Of
price. in the articles purchased. The
only difference was in the value of the
$40 notes rendered in payment, The
American $40 note is valued at s1.55
more than the Canadian $40 note. Nor

the other. But today1the Canadian who
