Chaos Of Victory.
'The task OF the founders was no

Here was the very chaos Of vic
tory. The triumphant colonists were
spent and wearied. financially ex-

future. They had little thought Of
the nation. Nationality was not the
inspiration OF the war for independ-
ence. but nationality was revealed as
the necessary means Of self-preserva-
ton when independence was won.
There were conflicting ideas. even
more pronounced than today-there
were varying conditions throughout
the colonies, now turned to states.
There were opposing ambitions, less
understood than now, because OF slow
communication and less intimacy Of
association. There were pronounced
envies and threatening jealousies;
aye, there were disturbing suspicious
and the menace OF destroying pas

KEEPS FOOD WITHOUT ICE

What convinced me Of the value 81
an electric refrigerator" one young
matron was heard to remark, was
the discovery that I could CAD about
and visit the various members Of my
large family for days on end and moi
have to worry about food spoilage IN
the ice box because the ice had
melted. Best Of all, did not have to
trouble my next door neighbor with
the key to my kitchen so the ice man
could be let in to keep the refrigera-
tor replentished."
These are only two Of the many as
sets that make the electric refrigera-
tor unique possession and well
worth its weight in gold to a medium
sized family, where, usually, there is
much wastage of food because Of
spoilage during the hot summer days,

PROGRESS OF NEWSPAPERS

We have been so accustomed to the
multitudinous uses Of electricity In
all branches Of modern endeavor that
the detailed application Of It to
specific trades is oftentimes over
looked One Of the mightiest forces
Of modern civilization is the newspa-
per. So much dependence is placed
upon this means of seminating in
formation quickly and accurately
throughout the world that it Is the
forefront of educational forces. 1t Is
but comparatively few years since
motor-driven printing presses became
commonplace. In the early days OF
this work it was quite difficult to OBJ
tain the necessary speed regulation
for some of our large presses. One Of
the earliest devices for accomplishing
this was successfully applied by the
old Bullock Electrical & Manufactur-
ing Company of Cincinnati, Ohio.
This company had developed at that
time what was known as "teaser
system" by which small auxiliary
motor-generator was used to increase
or decrease the line voltage, by buck
ing and boosting, so that control Of
voltage was obtained as low as fifteen
or twenty volts and up to the max

imum. Several of these were installed
World, New York Journal, New York
Sun, Philadelphia Inquirer, etc. This
system is now obsolete, having been
supplemented by other systems of
somewhat simpler and more efficient
makeup. 1t is mentioned simply for
the purpose Of indicating how recent
has been the call for this kind of SER
vice and how wonderfully well the
requirements have been met. In the
old Bullock system an additional fea-
ture was that Of push button method
or stopping the press instantly from
(what Is now called remote control")
in order that operation could be ter
minated by any Of the workmen who
might detect an incorrect run Of the
paper or other defect of operation.
It is quite obvious that the expan-
sion in printing during the past
twenty-five years has been Of tremen-
dous amount and 1t goes without say
ing that this increase would have
been practically impossible without
the improvements Of electric motor
drive and speed control, which have
enabled the presses to grow in size
and capacity, and yet be subject to in
slant, exact control
The application Of electric motors
has not been limited to the press
room. The type-setting machine ana
other accessory devices today owe
their greater facility Of operation to
electric motors and electric control.

HOW TO USE VACATION

The chief business Of the child for
the first twelve or fourteen years OF
| his life should be to grow strong
physically. During the school term
of eight or nine months he is usually
living in more or less unnatural
way, sitting still for longer periods
than he should following out pro-
cesses of logically arranged thought
and much too often doing things In
which he has little real interest. His
natural growth, physical and in many
cases mental, is more or less inter-
fered with.
Vacation time gives good chance
to overcome some Of the drawbacks OF
ouf schools. Three months Of long
hours in the fresh air and sunshine,
tramping, swimming, hunting, fish
ing and playing, moderate amount
of physical labor for which the child
is held responsible, plenty of plain
wholesome food, sleeping out of doors
and he will return to his school in
September with Drowned body, alert
mind, and a fund of information that
the school could not possibly give
him. His interests will be widened,
his muscles and mind strengthened
and he will have learned how to use
his leisure time.

how many advantages there may be
| in cooling in the aforementioned
manner, cooking by electricity pre-
sents advantages that are unique. So
unusual are these advantages that the
home-maker who Is fortunate enough
to live in a community that offers a
special electric cooking rate would
not think Of doing her cooking by
any other method.
The electric range has had a long,
uphill road to travel in order to at
tain recognition. Now that more
and more women are coming to ap-
preciate it's manifold achievements, 1t
is daily becoming more popular. Yet
for the last fifteen years the electric
range has been endeavoring to i'm
perss wholly Indifferent public, and
only today is it becoming at all sue
cessful in thsee attempts.
The most healthful and efficient
way to cook is indisputably the cleo
trical way. This was discovered to
be true with the advent OF the perco-
lator, the toaster, grill and waffle
iron, which only paved the way for
the larger and more comprehensive
device that could do the whole bag
of tricks"-the electric range.
1t does away with standing over a
blazing stove; it can practically cook
the meals for you while you are out
of the house, if need be, and it is a
cool, practical, healthful way to cater
to the culinary demands Of your fam
lily. The heat in an electric range is
controlled Your foods do
not tougher over a too-slow fire or
scorch on a too-hot one. There are
three degrees of heat-low, medium
and high-which give ample oppor-
tunity for your various requirements.
It offers the quickest, surest and best
means Of capably performing very
necessary household duty and is far
from being a luxury" as it was at |
first considered.
AS a matter of fact, the electric |
range has proved it's worth, both from
he standpoints Of saving time, labor
and energy as well as the conserva
ion of food. There is so much less
of meats that are cooked
that this one fact alone
merits your consideration.

Railway Express, the largest users Of
electrical trucks in the world, his
words carry weight. With the marked
growth Of his company came the nee
essary additions of hundreds of cleo
trio trucks, which replaced gasoline
trucks and horse-drawn delivery wa
CONS.
Business men the world over watch
the growth or retardatfOn of express
companies closely, for they act as
business barometers to the mercantile
world, being just as essential as is
the parcel post department to the
Post Office. They compile statistics
Of shipping conditions over the Sec
tions of the country in which they
operate. With the surety Of Dun and
Bradstreet they can put their fingers
unerringly upon the bright business
spots Of the nation.
The American Express has been
asked why it did not operate at low
rates as does the Parcel Post depart
ment. In his speech Mr.. Cowie re-
piled to this query wittily, to the eff
feet that the American Express had
mo loving Uncle Sam to pay the
taxes, rents, insurance rates and so
forth on the various properties Of the
company" Everything must be paid
for, he might have added, truthflIy,
too, that the lowest insurance rate
paid on any of the express company's
property was the rate paid on electric
trucks and their garages.
"The failure Of the horse-drawn
truck in the seriously congested traf-
fic of New York City and the more ex-
pensive maintenance Of gasoline
trucks" have been, according to Mr..
Cowie, factors in the rise in popu-
larity of the electric truck

growing concern in which executives
are especially employed to study the
most economical methods Of trans

upon the electric truck, further ar

ROGUEING YOUR SEED FIELDS
By R. T. Spangler,
Assistant Agronomist.

Every seed grower at this time is
busy rogueing his clover and alfalfa
fields of noxious weeds and those that
may bring down the value Of his crop.
1t is very important that he should
know what weeds to take out and
those which will come out in the re-
cleaning process. Those that fall
under the latter class need not be
rogued as the labor required will cost
more than the extra value received
from the sale of the seed.
AS general rule weeds that pro-
duce seeds near the same size as the
commercial seed should come out. If
the field is too weedy it is best to cut
for hay. Every year the market for
dirty, low grade seed is becoming
less and less and it is Improbable 20
grow such a product
What to Rogue Out
Dodders are probably the worst
weed pest to the seed industry In
Idaho. II present in field it will
generally show up in yellow patches.
However, the cutting out OF these
patches does not insure the seed be-
ing dodder free, as the chances are
that there are some plants growing
singly which are never seen. A very
small plant may produce large num-
bers of seeds.
Buckhorn and bracted plantaln
should be taken out Seeds Of these
plants are considered noxious in most
states and their presence in CONNER
cial seed may condemn 1t for sale.
The other weeds considered nOxious
in this state that should be rogued
out are: mustard, quacK grass, Can
ada thistle, wild oats, dodders, corn
cookie and perennial SOW thistle.
Poverty weed, night Towering catch
fly white champion, hoary cress,
Frenchweed and Russian knapweed
are also serious weeds to look for In
In addition to these there are three
more common weeds producing thou
sands of seeds per plant that should
be dispensed with. These are Rus
sian thistle, water grass and green
foxtail; all Of which produce seed
similar in size to alfalfa or red clover
seed. In white and alsike clover
fields the pig weeds and lambs quar-
ter should be rogued out as seeds

GEYSERS FOR POWER

1.-THE demand for electrical energy
for light and power is leading to the
development of power-sources hither-
to not thought of as available for
power purposes and artesian wells
and geysers are among the latest re-
cruits to be put to work.
"In northern Florida there are
numerous artesian wells, deriving
their upward pressure from their
higher source in the Appalachian
mountains. The weight of water,
whether is flows down, as ordinarily,
or upward, as in the case Of an arte-
sian WELL is a source Of hydro-elec-

THE HUMBLE MINE MULE will
soon be out of a job, if present indfcs-
lions are to prove a criterion. His
old-time prerogative is being usurped
more and more by electrical energy,
generated either from steam plants or
from hydro-electric power sources.
There are, it seems, 1900 coal mines
in active operation in the United
States. Out of this number, more
than half are equipped with electric
cutting machines and electric light,
the latter having finally taken the
place of the famous oil lamp that was
fastened to the miners cap.
