WINDMILLS OF THE FUTURE
They May Provide Electric Power
When Coal and Oil Fields Are
Giving Out

"The exhaustion of our coal and oil
fields is a matter of centuries only"
writes J. B. S. Haldane, the distin-
guished British scientist, in his article
eff You Were Alive in 2123," in Cen
tury. GAS it has often been assumed
that their exhaustion would lead to
the collapse of industrial civilization,
l may perhaps be pardoned if l give
some of the reasons which lead me to
doubt this proposition.
water power is not, / think, a
probable substitute on account of it's
small quantity, seasonal fluctuation
and sporadic distribution. 1t may
perhaps, however, shift the center of
industrial gravity to well-watered
mountainous tracts, such as the Him.
alayan foothills, British Columbia
and Armenia. Ultimately, we shall
have to tap those intermittent, but
inexhautible, sources of power, the
wind and the sunlight. The problem
is simply one of storing their energy
in a form as convenient as coal or
petrol. If windmill in ones back
garden could produce a hundred
weight of coal daily (and it can pro-
duce it's equivalent in energy), our
coal mines would shut down tomor-
row. Even tomorrow a cheap, fool
proof and durable storage battery
may be invented that will enable US
to transform the intermittent energy
of the wind into continuous electric
power.
Among it's more obvious advan-
tages will be the fact that energy will
be as cheap in one part of the coun-
try as another, so that industry will
be greatly decentralized; and that no
smoke or ash will be produced"

UNITED WE STAND"

Said wise old bee at the close of
the day: "This colony business doesn't
pay. I put my honey in that old hive
that others may eat and live and
thrive; and / do more work in a day,
by gee, than some of the fellows do
in three. | toll and worry and save
and hoard and all l get is my room
and board. It's me for the sweets
of my hard earned pelf." So the old
bee flew to the meadow lone and
started a business of his own. He
gave no thought to the buzzing clan,
but all intent on his selfish plan he
lived the life of the hermit free-"Ah
this is great!" said the wise old bee.
But the summer waned and the days
grew clear, and the lone bee walled as
he dropped a tear; for the varmint
gobbled his little store and his wax
played out and his heart was sore, so
he winged his way to the old home
band, and took his meals at the help
ing hand. Alone, our work is of little
worth; together, we are the lords of
the earth; so it's all for each and each
for all-united stand, or divided fall.

MOONSHINE WHISKEY-POISON

Boys and millions of thoughtless
older people don't realize that moon
shine whiskey, regardless of how it
is made or of what, is a rank poison.
Not a drop of it has been properly
aged. 1t has been put through no
process for taking out the fusel oil
and other poisons contained in all
new whiskey, whether made in the
mountains of Kentucky or in some
ones cellar. Nor can it be put
through such process except by prop
er ageing in wood.
The danger in drinking wood al
cohol is very little greater. The man
or boy who drinks either is a fool and
potential suicide. The man who
sells either is a knave and a poten-
tial murderer.
Whiskey, properly aged, of the gov
ernment inspected, bonded and stamp
ed variety was bad enough. But as
compared to moonshine, with which
the country is in growing quantities
now being flooded, it was as nectar
of the gods compared with the dis
titled poison secretions of prairie
rattlesnake.

FIFTY YEARS AGO Sror,,,, IN . mr.,

Such a job and quickly, too,
They'd not give the work to you,
So do it.
When on you task is laid,
Do it.

Giving work to men they doubt,
So when they have picked you out,
Do it.
Stick right there and play the man,

They who ordered think you can,
Do it.
Never doubt yourself, but say:
"They have faith in me or they
Would not throw this chance my way
I'll do it."
Difficult or something new,

Or possessed towards streak,
For another man they'd seek,
So do it.
