THE ELECTION

With election day-Tuesaay, Novem-
Der 6, almost upon US, there is de-
cided lack of interest shown by the
voters, The State candidates Of both
parties have tried hard to inject little
enthusiasm into the campaign by tour
ing the State, but their efforts appear to
have had little success in arousing the
people.
AT this late date the majority Of voters
have made up their minds as to the
candidates of their choice. AS far as
the Gubernatorial candidates are con-
cerned, neither are to the liking of the
temperance people, as one is wet, the
other wetter, and both wettest.
The local w. C. T. U. has adopted a
resolution of protest, urging voters to
show their independence and use the
blank space on the ballot, provided by
law, to write the name of DR.. Howard
A. Kelly as their choice for Governor.
While the temperance people can ex-
pect nothing from either of the old party
candidates for Governor, they still have
the local Legislative ticket to look to.
The Democratic Legislative nominees
have refused to go on record on the tenn
perance question. although at least one
of them is known to be lined up with
the vets. The Republican Legislative
candidates have had the moral courage
to express themselves on this issue, and
are for Law Enforcement.
There are number of important
county offices to fill and in the selection
of officials for these Offices the voter
should be influenced solely by fitness of
candidates. We hear much clap-trap
about "party," but if candidate is
poorly qualified for the office to which
he aspires, and has nothing but party
to recommend him, he does not deserve
your vote.
The conduct of our county offices
should be on strictly business basis,
and not party basis. This sort of
doctrine is not popular with the petty
would-be party boss, but it means some
thing to the voter, when taxes are con-
sidered, when the county offices are con-
Quoted in business-like manner.
Don't listen to the self-constituted
party boss, who doubtless has an axe to
grind, but mark your ballot for those
candidates you think best qualified to
conduct the offices to which they
aspire.

WHAT TIME is IT?

How many times, during an aver
age day, would you guess that the
operators at the River Falls telephone
exchange are asked to answer the
above question? Before reading
farther, just for the fun Of it, make
a guess, mark it down and then look
at the bottom Of the End. column on
the last page of this paper and read
the answer
How near did you come to it? Did
you have any idea that the operators,
who are rushed with business calls
throughout the day, had to take up
that much time to answer that many
inquiries as to the time?
We are told that many people, rath-
er than step into the next room to
look at the clock, step to the phone
and ask the operator, and nine-tenths
of the slime" calls are as needless.
Once in a great while, perhaps, it
is a great convenience to be able to
get the exact time from the exchange,
but usually the need isn't worth the
interruption which it causes in the
service.

DAIRY FEEDING DAY"
AT ELLSWORTH, FEB.

One of the great days at the Col
lege of Agriculture was Dairy Feed
ing Day" last October, carried thru
with the splendid cooperation of the
State Dairymen's association. Among
the speakers that day was Professor
F. B. Morrison of the College of Ag-
ficulture! Professor Morrison has
general supervision of the various
feeding experiments which are con-
tinually going on at the College.
Some results are being secured which
solve many of the troubles which
farmers have now and then in stock
feeding. Professor Morrison also has
made a thorough study of the rela-
ton of market prices of feeds to the
rations which should be fed to rea-
lie maximum profits.
The Department of FalLners' Insti
tute has been lucky in being able to
secure Professor Morrison for a limit
ed number of dates. 1t will, there
fore, be possible for farmers living
too far from the College to be able to
attend some of the meetings and
courses at the College at which Pro
fessor Morrison speakes, to iset him
at some of the Institutes. His dis
cussions will not be limited and every
farmer who wants to ask questions
will be given ample OPPORTUNITY to do
so.
Professor Morrison will conduct
Dairy Feeding Day" at the Institute
at Ellsworth on February 8, 1928.
You are cordially invited.

The City Power Plant

The annual report which the pub
lie Utilities Commission requires the
City of River Falls, as well as other
owners Of electric power plants, to
submit, reveals some interesting facts.
One of the startling deductions to
be made from this city's report is the
fact that our plant could not carry
one-ninth of the load which might be
urned on if all connections were used
at the same time. The entire connect
ed load, in that case, would be 1885
llillowats or 2,459 horse power, deliv-
cred, while the turbines at both plants
can develop but 575 h. p. on the
shafts, and it takes about 21$ horse
power on the wheel to deliver one
horsepower to the consumer.
If all electric fatirons in the city
were in use at the same time it would
require the delivery of approximately
800 horsepower.
But there isn't any danger of any,
where near all of the electrical equip
ment throughout the system being
used at any one time; in fact so many
Of the appliances are used at different
times on the same outlet that that
fact alone forestalls any such occur
ance.
The following items are taken from
City Electrician E. E. Bucks re-
port of Jan. 1, 1923, to the Public
Utilities Commission:
(Note: The first item, No. of Out
lets, means all sockets and connec-
tions on the system where light or
power can be turned on.)

BANK OF ELLSWORTH
DAMAGED BY FIRE

Fire, which was discovered at about
1925 Sunday morning by f. S. Ira
Wis and Raymond Smith, damaged the
building and contents of the Bank of
Ellsworth to the extent of between
$4,000 and $4,000. The hardware stock
of A. Amundson, in the rear down.
stairs room Of the building, was badly
damaged and fixtures and equipment
of the law office of Attorney John f..
Foley and the dental office of DR.. j.
NJ. Nelson in the upper part of the
building We're damaged by smoke.
The fire appears to have started
near the coal bin in the basement and
the cause of the blaze, according to
Grin Lord, president of the Bank OF
Ellsworth, has not been determined.
The general opinion during the fire
was that the blaze must have started
from the oil burner in the furnace,
but investigation after the fire show
ed that this was not the case.
At 11:15 Erwin Brown, clerk at
the bank, visited the building and re-
ports that everything was all right
both in the bank proper and ir The
basement. About 1925, F. s. Ira
Wis, who was passing the building,
discovered smoke issuing from tne
ventilators and Raymond Smith, who
h,y lafnr. cont m tt,D
alarm.
When the fire company arrived a
few minutes later smoke was issu-
ing from the building, but there were
no signs of the fire. In few min
utes, however, the flames broke out
near the coal bin in the basement and
the firemen got busy with three
streams of water.
Fire was later discovered between
the partition separating the hank pro-
per from the Aimundson hardware
store. This blaze was hard to get at
and the steel ceiling of the building
made the task of extinguiShing the
blaze more difficult.
BY thoroughly soakirs, the upper
floors and tearing them opea for the
purpose of getting at the blaze the
fire was finally extinguished.
1t was thought FER time that the
building would be badly Quilted and
much of Attorney ;0leys library OF
law books was taken from the build
ing. DR.. Nelson's dental equipment
was also moved. A large amount Of
the banks valuable e1dpnent was
also carried out of tie B Hiding
The blaze was very stachonr one
and the firemen are to be commended
for their good work in eXtinguishing
it without further damage.
The banks estimated less OF be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 is covered Ey
insurance.
A. Amundson, the hardware man,
estimates his loss at Ground $500,
fully covered by insuraac.,,
Atty. Foley's and DR.. Nelson's loss
es are also covered by Insurance.
