THIS LETTER WON HIGH
PRAISE IN CONTEST

Imagine electricity suddenly
snatched from us. Would we
miss It? More than any other
single factor Of modern civili-
zation. Yet-we know not what
1t is-only that 1t is the greatest
blessing an indulgent Provi-
dence has bestowed upon the
human race.
How many stop to wonder
about 1t. We accept its service
as a matter of course, sublimely
unconscious OF the existence Of
this wonderful agent-until,
mayhap. something goes wrong.
Then we roundly curse the
power company.
A great many OF us consider
electricity useful only 10 run
street cars. factory machinery,
and to light streets. etc; vet,
this most wonderful agent Is
powerful enough to speed the
largest battleship and gentle
enough to operate the tiny
motor of the health giving
electric vibrator. We do not
fully appreciate the intimate
things that electricity, used
with the proper appliance. can
do for us-those common every-
day tasks that make work o
disagreetble grind.
There isn't a single task that
cannot be lightened by the use
OF the proper electrical device.
In the home electricity will fur.
nish heat and light, cook, the
meals, sweep the floors. wash

Relation OF Farmers
And Press Discussed
AT Chicago Meeting

Chicago. May 17:-Agricultural' adj
vertising and the relations of farmers
TO the newspapers formed the leading
topics before the Inland Press asso-
citation here today. W. 4. DAILY, a
dirt farmer of Animosa. Iowa. dis
cussed advertising by farmers, and
Stephen Bolles. newspaper publisher,
of GAINESVILLE. Wis, spoke on Hitch
ing Up With the Farmer"
With more people engaged in
farming than any other industry in
the territory represented by the mem
bership of the Inland Press aMocia-
ton, there is less attention paid to
the news of the farmer than to my
other branch of industry" said Mr..
Bolles. News of h farmer and his
farm is as necessary as news of indus
trial achievement along other lines.
THE flapper and the actress ELL
columns, the politician has his special
and continuous vaudeville. the woman
and her propaganda occupies pages,
while we give to the farmer only the
news when he happens to have been
stung by buying blue sky.
THE billions of assessed valuation
of his property entities him to more
than a passing paragraph. 1t is time
that there came a Christopher Co
lumbus among the newspapers who
will discover the farmer as a news
source to his and the newspapers
beenfit."

Moscow.-Many of the millions of
persons hitherto fed by the govern

upon their W resources are finding
life in Russia complicated by depreci-
alton in the value of the paper ruble,
growing constantly more difficult.
Only 100000 persons, including
the red army and navy are now re-
ceiving government rations, says the
Moscow Pravda. Last September the
number was 11,500.000.
Factory 'workmen. government en-
ployes and others cut off the free ra-
ton list receive, in theory, pay in
creases supposed to be adequate to
permit them to buy their food on the
open markets. The pay fixed today.
however. may be worth actually, in
purchasing power. only half as much
next week, or month.
Prices for TODD and other articles
in Moscow follow almost exactly the
depreciating value of the ruble as
compared to gold or foreign money,
II street brokers pay ESQ. 900 rubles to
the dollar today and 1000 900 for the
dollar a week or SO hence. bread will
cost fopr times as much a week

wheat are reasonable and much lower

lerably and this fact has made the
