ELECTRICITY FOR FARMS
Small Streams May be Made to Pro-
duce Farmers Power,

QuCc SNS'' s
Electricity on the farm is OF such
prime Importance that every feasible
method is being tried out whereby cur
rent may be provided in locations iso-
lated from central service.
Since Henry Ford, by constructing
on his own farm series of small dams
whereby a little stream was made to
generate 800 horse power, demonstrat-
ed the possibilities latent in even tiny
streams, numerous farmers have taken
a leaf from his book and installed
similar hydro electric plants which are
giving entire satisfaction.

WORK OF THE LAWMAKERS
Legislature Has Put in Two Busy
Weeks. - .

Faster work and a moro definite aim
than have characterized any legisla-
ture for a number Of years feature the
present session, after two weeks OF
work, and with five new revenue pro-
ducing bills going through the mill,
and with little else on. the surface OF
statewide importance, the South Car
lima legislature seems on the high road
to adjournment within the forty days
allowed for the regulation term.
There is one central theme. running
through legislation at this session, and
aside from that there is little else OF
importance, taxation, with a special
eye to tax reduction. There seems to
be a pretty general understanding
among the leading members that the
total of appropriations can hardly be
reduced, but that new revenues must
be produced, and before the second
week ended Friday afternoon five
revenue producing measures had been
introduced by the ways and means
committee of the house.
The bill to provide a tax on inherit
ances is with the senate, Judiciary
committee, where a few kinks are be-
ing ironed out.
The income tax bill has passed the
house and has gone to the senate
where 1t is now being given consider
alton by the finance committee, for IN
itial approval or disapproval.
The bill to provide tax on hydro
electric. power plants has been intro
duced in the house and is on the cal
endar for second reading.
The corporation license tax bill Is
also on the calendar of the house,
where it will probably receive atten-
tion, during the week ahead.
The gasoline tax bill passed the
house and is on the senate calendar
for second reading.
Representative Simonhoffs bill TO
require men to undergo physical ex.
aminations before marriage, passed
the house last year and is on the SEN
ate calendar for third reading.
The bill by Senator Bonham, to reg
ulate traffic on the highways Is
scheduled for third reading soon.
The bill to provide tax on moving
picture films passed the house, where
it was introduced by E. A. Brown OF
Barnwell, and is to be debated In the
senate early IN the next week.
The bill to enlarge the railroad COM
mission and combine 1t with the puD-
lie utilities committee, and the bill 10
reouire free telephone service between
towns, are to be debated early in the
week. -. 49,,

decided to build larger dam and in
stall plant sufficiently large to grind
feed for his stock, light his home and
barns, churn his milk, run his sewing
machine, wosher, and sweeper and
possibly cook his meas and heat his
rooms. THE greatest cost" he said,
"is the initial installation; and that Is
comparatively small. The operating
cost is very low."
Commenting on tho possibilities of
electric power on farms suggested by
Mr.. Maddox's happy experiment, the
Birmingham News said:
Almost every farm has more o. less
uadevelopcd waterpower that is going
to waste and it might well be utilized.
What is 10 prevent five or six farms
in a community clubbing In, erecting a
dam and putting in a sufficient turbine
and generator and storage batteries, so
that these farm homes may all be
lighted by electricity-the farm and
outhouses lighted; power available for
use to operate pumps. washing ma
chimes and other housekeeping appii-
ancesy ens!lage cutters, corn shelters,
grindstoaes. churns, cream separators,
small grist mil,s-even cooking ranges
and sewing machines? Who, more
than the farmers wife, upon whose
shoulders rest so much Of the burden
of feeding humanity, needs the assist
ance, c'ectric irons or ironing machines
and an abundance of lights at all
times?
Current could be sold to other
neighbors and sufficient income there
by obtained to maintain repairs, to
offget depreciation and renewal, and
perhaps even to replace initial invest
ment.
E. almost any concern dealing in
electrical machinery would be glad to
advise with !. farmers contemplating
sucL installations and to give engineer
iES advice relative to dam construction,
amount of fall. head of water, and
other technical information."

THE PRESIDENTS COOK.
Mrs. Maria Protz Has Held That Jof
for Twenty Six Years.


"I have not been cooking for thirty
two years for nothing" said Mrs. Ma
ria Protz, who is responsible in large
measure for the continued good dispo-
sition of the president.
Mrs. Protz Is the White House COOK
born in Denmark, she says she Is CIT
izcn now of the United States, where
she has spent twenty-six years, relates
the New York Globe, .. ..
Back to the original question, HOW
do you keep the president happy MIS-
Protz did not hesitate about her an
swer that thirty-two years had taught
her much about cooking.
The ertire management Of the White
House is in the hands Of housekeeper
in whom entire authority is vested. IL
is she who hires and fires and keeps
order among the army Of workers en-
ployed in the executive mansion.
In the kitchen is still another organ
ization, for there Mrs. Protz, who is
head cook, reigns complete. The chlel
cook prepares all the food for the pres
idential table, while the assistants COOK
only for the servants table. The dish
washing, scrubbing and heavy work
with the pots and pans is done either
by the assistants or second boys.
Mrs. Protzs contract with the presi-
dents frame of mind, although indirect,
is vital, for it is she who makes out the
daily menu for the official" food as
we'll as the servants table.
. Food Comparatively Simple.
"The food served to the president is
simple compared to what it might be,
Mrs. Protz said, "and the greatest care
Is exercised to manage the mansion
with economy Here's sample of one
of my favorite dishes, which brings the
platter down empty every time"
And Mrs. Protz dictated the follow
ing recipe:

guc. potatoes, raisins, chestnuts are the
| ingredients.
Soak the beef overnight. In the
morning boil one and a half hours
(Mrs. Protz allows thirty minutes OF
boiling for every pound of meat.) See
that the tongue is tender, but not cook
ed to pieces. Prepare potatoes into
small balls and cook; them until tender,
Make a brown sauce with the juice of
the meat. and add sultana raisins and
