Farmers With Radio Sets Find
Easy Way to Recharge Batteries

BILE. And that 10 what It has been
found to do on farms. II . farmer
had TO convey q rather heavy storage
battery to town every time It needed
re-charging his radio outfit might be
out of commission a couple of days or
more. And with the growing function
Of radio on the farm this might prove
a calamity.
Tungars are made in various sizes
For radio work the small, portable
type in two-ampere and five-ampere
capacities Is the best for the purpose.
The two-ampere Tungar will charge
a six-volt battery at two amperes, or
twelve-volt battery at one ampere.
The five-ampere outfit will charge
six volt, three-cell battery at FIVE am
peres, or a twelvevolt, six-cell battery
at three ampereS. - !, - s.
For radio listeners who have "B"
batteries in their sets for supplying a
plate" voltage there Is an attachment
to the Tunsar which senables these bat
teries also to be re-charged, as well as
the "A" or flament battery.

An unshaded electric light Suspended
by . cord from the ceiling will compel
the farm wife to work in her own
shadow In every part Of the room ex-
cept directly beneath the light. The
glare will bring strain upon the
eyes, resulting finally in . headache
and that we'll known mean" feeling
No happy hearts from this!
Shadows Arc Not Wanted 9''
The old style type Of fixture shown
in the upper illustration is an exam
pie Of a hurtful method of illumica-
ton. which lighting specialists con-
denim. It Is a combination gas and
electric stem fixture. This fixture
causes a shadow to be thrown by the
worker on the work, because 1t is so
low. Apparently somebody got the
idea that the light is wanted on the
floor In the center Of the room and
practically nowhere else.
II this Is the only source of cleo
tricity In this kitchen, the farm wife,
II she wants to use an electric iron,
must first unscrew the electric light
bulb, then screw In the plug Of the
iron, making just enough extra work
to create feeling that electricity Is a
nuisance instead OF a convenience.

BOYS DESTROY
PROPERTY

Our attention has been called to
the destruction of property by boys.
The house belonging to Mrs. Leona
Officer In the Dicklow addition, which
has been vacant for few days. has
seven window lights smashed out on
one side, three on the other side and
considerable damage done to the
screen DOORS The police are investi-
eating this case and already have
evidence against two Of the boys, and
are pretty sure OF the third one
When Probation Officer Mrs. Grace
Stevens, who is out Of the city, re-
turns arrests will be made, and the
boys prosecuted.
The wantom destruction Of proper
ty by boys of various ages has been
going on in Blackfoot for some time,
and we hope the prosecution Of the
boys caught in this case will be a
good lesson to those who have been
fortunate enough to escape the law.

BEST ENERGY IS
POWER LINE KIND
Agricultural Engineer Says This
Sort Gives Farms Volume of
Power Needed.
is FLEXIBLE SERVICE, TOO

u
Steadily the trend of electrical de-
velopment in the United States is
reaching out to embrace the In.
electrified rural sections and the great
farming areas, according to G. A.
Atherton, chairman Of the power lines
committee of the American Society Of
Agricultural Engineers. Mr.. Atherton,
who 10 in the engineering department
of the General Electric Company's Ma
tional Lamp Works, is positive that
the various difficulties now :etaeding
the extension Of electric transmission
lines into farming districts by cleo
tric light and power companies will be
successfully met.
: American farms" he said, follows
ing the recent annual convention CT
the National Electric Light Associa-
ton, ARE now using three hundred
thousand isolated electric light and
power plants. Such plants will proba-
bly, always be used in the more re-
mote districts. But 1t is only natural
that what the farmer really wants Is
the convenient, flexible and less limit
ed service from the big city power
houses.
Farming a Big Industry
1.-THE electrical interests themselves
want to know how far electricity can
be economically carried into the rural
districts. Farming is the biggest and
most important industry In every
country. Not only does it employ
more people, but it uses more power
than any other. 1t is comparable In
size with general manufacturing of
all commodities.
Undoubtedly the chief factors In
creating the present strong demand
for electricity on the farm are the
growing realization of the labor saw
ing which may be effected for the far
mer's wife and a newly awakened
pride Tin having the most up-to-date
living conditions. Yet the part Of
electricity in the industry of agricul-
ture is by no means small, only there
must be adequate farm machinery for
electrical application.
electrified farm machinery must
be quite different from the heavy
farm machinery Of the past, intended
for use a few hours each year, and
then allowed to stand without atten-
ton until the next season. It must be
made small, efficient, probably operat-
ing at higher speed, and must be au-
tomato.
Division Of the Energy
1T must be arranged DO that each
morning the raw material may be red
In, . switch turned and without more
attention the finished material piled
or stored automatically. An entire
process with such q machine might
consume several weeks, demanding q
quarter horsepower to do what for.
merly took four or i've men and six |
ty horsepower steam engine two days |
to do. ~
But sixty horsepower, two days
year, IL very impractical and unprodt- |
able on an electrical line, whereas |
eight weeks of quarter horsepower
is quite practical and may be made a
profitable part Of the producing equip
ment Of the farm"

FARMER GOT NEWS
BEFORE CITY FOLK
THIS TIME, BY RADIO

Since radio started to equalize
things in the matter Of keeping
folks posted as to what's going on,
farmers have not only been placed
on the same footing with city
dwellers, but on occasion they
have even beat 'em to it." One
such case occurred on the evening
Of July 4, when q party Of city
men, returning from an automobile
trip In the Adirondacks, began to
speculate on how the Dempsey
Gibbons prize fight resulted.
Passing q farm and noticing that
there was radio antenna
stretched between the house and
the barn, they stopped to inquire II
any news had been received. The
farmer was found just coming in
from the barn. He listened to
their question calmly, and imme-
diately answered: Dempsey won
on points"
He had heard the report Of the
fight as broadcast BY WGY, the
General Electric Company's sta
ton at Schenectady, N. Y.-and he
had got the news as quickly as
anyone in the United States. Even
the metropolitan newspaper Offices
did not have it any sooner.

GIVING chlIdren Good Teeth.

Here are the rules Of the British
Dental association for the care Of chill
drer's teeth:
Be sure the child sleeps with the
mouth shut, and when awake breathes
through the nose. From the age Of
two let each meal contain some food
that needs grinding. Begin the child's
education In hard foods at nine
months by giving it bone, prefer
ably a chop bone, with little meat
on to exercise its gums. Do not let
children drink until the end Of the
meal. Avoid many sweets and sweet
biscuits. and only give them as part
of a meal. Finish each meal with a
piece of fresh fruit or crisp salad. or
If these are not obtanable, a stale
crust of bread, with butter II pre-
ferred but not with jam.

A NATION
IN MOURNING

Warren G. Harding, was born at
Blooming Grove, Morrow County Ohio
November 2, 1865. He attended coun-
try school, later going to college at
Iberia, Ohio He tried school teach
ing one year, but the lure Of the
printers ink drew him into the news
paper field. His family in the mean
time moving to Marion, Ohio, where
he obtained his first newspaper, and
where his ,life's interest centered
thereafter, and at the age of 10 bid In
the Marion Star at sheriff sale, where
he developed broad patience in the
making Of his paper success. Al
ways an ardent republican his ability
at making stump speeches, brought
him into politics and his first public
office was that of State Senator which
he held at the age Of "a. He served
two terms and was later elected lieu
tenant governor of his state. Four
years later he was elected to the
United States Senate, where he serv-
ed six years. From this place he was
elevated to the presidency, the first
United States Senator to be elected
president.
The President-was a life long Bap-
tiGt, q member Of the Elks and Moose
fraternities for years, and after his
election became thirty second de-
gree mason and a shriner. Golf and
fishing were his favorities recrea-
lions.
It IL hard to realize that the strong
man that stood on the last car Of he
train as It stopped in Blackfoot only
a short time ago is gone, but the raw
ages Of a sick spell in the spring, to-
gether with his long and tedious jour
ney, to take the Government closer to
the people was too much.
The entire nation extends to Mrs.
Harding their heartfelt sorrow.
