ELECTRICITY TO REMOVE
FACTORIES TO VILLAGES

Removal OF Americas industries
to the villages to relieve congestion
in cities, now possible through the
electrical transmission of both hydro
and steam power, was suggested by
John R. Freeman of Providence, r. l.,
in a recent address at the hydro cleo
trio session of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers in New
York City. Mr.. Freeman was award
ed the 1923 medal of the society for
eminent services to engineering.
Power has found a new epoch,
said the speaker. I'VE are in the
midst OF the greatest activity ever
known in hydro-electric development,
and problems of unprecedented magni
tude are before us.
Electricity more and more will
perform the menial tasks, Mr.. Free
man predicted. illumination will be
greater and habits of luxury will
grow.

SPRING IN THE BACK YARD

An old joke ran to the effect shat
many fine houses had a Queen Anne
front but Mary Ann back yard.
Many people clean up a front yard
as they go along. But their back
yards will go along all through
winter with litter gradually accumu-
lating, until by April it looks lfks "a
last years crows nest" as the old
timers used to say.
There is something rather fine and
sincere about the family that hates
disorder SO much that they keep their
back yard just as shiny as their front.
You could pin faith on people like
that. If you bought apples of them
you could feel that the bottom ones
would compare favorably with the
top.
The next best thing is to have q
grand cleaning at this time of the
year, and resolve that from now on
you will have a back yard which you
could use for parlor if the house
gets too crowded.

Automobile
and As
(By R B. Tilden) .

(By r b. Illden).
Arthur G. Zeller, president of the
Michigan State Auto School of De-
troit, says:
81 firmly believe in the flat rate
method of charging for automotive
service.
This system is popular with the
motoring public as the car owner
desiring repairs knows in advance
just what he will have to pay for the
job when it is beady.
In order to succeed with the flat
rate prices it is necessary to have
proper equipment as well as mechan-
les who have been thoroughly trained
in their work. The service station
must keep a very accurate set of
records in order to work out a flat
rate schedule. OF course the flat rate
is up to the public. II the motorists
of America insist upon it eventually
most service stations will come to the
flat rate.
Unfortunately the public does not
always demand the things best for
them, but in the matter of flat rates
for automotiye service they seem to
be demanding it more every day"
Maybe a bent front axle is pre-
maturely wearing out the treads of
your front tires.
Statistics show that the clothing
dollar is worth only SIC today, COM
pared with the 1913 dollar as a
standard But the automobile dollar
today buys Sill as compared with 10
years ago.
Rim cutting is largely caused by
dented or even slightly bent rims.
Make sure your wheels are in good
shape and you will lengthen the life
OF your tires
Be sure your brakes are right be-
fore starting any place.
Flush out you vacuum system 1t
is a good plan to do this every three
or four months. II you do not under
stand how to do this take the car to
the service station and have the re-
pair man do it.

COMPARES COAST PRICES
WITH GOOD OLD DELTA

Pearl Walker, brick and building
contractor, who recently returned
from California, dropped into the
Independent office the other evening,
and we questioned him regarding
some of the prices which prevailed
in the building line on the coast.
According to Mr. Walker, we have
here a handsome dry pressed brick
which retails for s14 per thousand.
California brick sells for SIS per
thousand, and they are nothing but
red soft brick A first quality, red
pressed brick. laid into wall out
there costs $50 per thousand, and Mr..
Walker says our Delta pressed brick
are equally as good, if not better
brick.
Another thing, he said, we are get
ting lime through the sugar factory
people here for $40 per ton retail,
while the prevailing price in Cali.
fornia averages better than $50 per
ton
Mr. Walker while working most OF
the time says he is much better sat.
isfied right here in Delta than he was
on the coast. "One thing never
liked out there" he said, a fellow
must travel from 10 to IL miles going
TO and from work. or else pay out
about half what you make for board
and lodging"
