CHEAP ELECTRICITY ON THE
FARM.
M. H. A1eysworth, executive man
ager of the National Electric Light
gates attending the convention of the
middle west division, in st. Louis, said
that the work of electric utility con-
Germs would not be done until cheap
power is furnished to farms, howso-
ever distant farms may be from the
generating station. The farm wife, he
said, is entitled to the w~ork-saving
facilities which the city wife has.
The farmer must lave cheap power,
he stated, for running machinery, and
the farm wife must have washing ma
chimes, electric ironers and other con-
veniences.
The farm will have electric power.
Power will either come by transmits
sion from a distance, or it will be
generated in a county or district and
will be distributed by copper wire in
to hundreds or thousands of adjacent
houses and grounds. The farmer
brought the telephone out into the
country, along the highways and
across fields, and he will obtain cleo
trio power.
Farm life is not SO desultory as it
was a few years ago. The farmer
has the radio. the telephone, the
photograph, the motion picture and
the automobile. In many respects
farm life is happier, more pleasant
and more easeful than city life

THE WOMEN'S LEAGUE AND
GREATNESS.
OF course, as people differ on every
subject on earth, they naturally differ
on what constitutes greatness of hui
man personality. The people whose
names appear oftenest in the news
papers frequently are considered the
persons who are great. The National
League of Women Voters, however,,
takes a somewhat different view-the
right view. When asked to name a
list of the twelve greatest American
women they did no turn to the news
paper files to secure a list of those
whose names had appeared ~oftenest.
Some of the women named are scare ]
" known to the mass of the people.
The league took the position that the ,
true test of greatness is the extent
to which a person has uplifted and
benefited humanity. Persons who in {
a quiet and almost obscure way have {
rendered unreasonable service are :
numerous, and would stand high on +
such q list.
We have thought for some time that :
Tim Sullivan was unduly interested +
in Henry Ford's candidacy for the a
presidency. The reason was picked t
which said that ARRANGEMENTS had y
peer made for Ford to APP S
point all the Ford agents in the t.
