Chest examinations hold no terrors
for Sammy, who is learning the value
of regular annual physical examina-
ton at one of the free chest clinics
conducted by the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association, which is
supported by the sale of Christmas
seals.
Prevention is the slogan of the free
chest clinic which goes into every
nook and corner of Wisconsin seeking
out early and unsupported cases Of
tuberculosis and preaching its gospel
of health. More than 1900 Wiscon-
sin people have active tuberculosis
and less than 1900 of them are being
cared for in tuberculosis sanatoria.
Many of the remaining 1900 do not
even know that they have the disease.
To discover such unknown and I'M
treated cases of tuberculosis and to
see that they are properly cared for
is one Of the main functions of the
free chest clinic, for every unknown
case of tuberculosis is a menace to
the entire community.
Nearly $4,000 examinations have
over $500 people were found to be
tuberculosis.

eyes Of the common two-legged
variety Of hen.
The Petaluma hatchery is electric
throughout, and it's new plant will be
able to ship $4,000 chicks daily. The
output for a single season is three
million chicks. Thirty of the largest
egg farms in the vicinity are kept
busy supplying eggs for this hatchery.
The owner of this super-hen studied
electric incubation for two years,
both in this country and abroad, and
finally came to the conclusion that
Matching by electricity is the last
word in artificial incubation. He holds
that it produces a sturdier, healthier
chick and one that natures more rap
idly to the producing age.
Throughout the heavy Matching
season, from the first of February
until June, the temperature in each
of the twelve hundred incubators is
maintained at 103 degrees without
the slightest variation. In the new
plant of this hatchery, electric heat
ers are to be installed in the offices,
so that it will be an all-electrlcal
plant, using no other kind of fuel.

Christmas seals have played a big
part in this girls life. She is Lucille
Harmon Of Milwaukee, a former stu
dent at the Milwaukee Vocational
School.
With money raised by the sale Of
Christmas seals, the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association undertook to
give careful examinations to the boys
and girls In the Milwaukee Vocational
School
Lucille was one Of the first girls to
be examined. Her first examination
disclosed nothing, but on later
examination, tuberculosis was found.
She was urged to go to Muirdale Sana-
forum, and her parents wisely decided
that, for her own sake and for the
protection of the younger children in
the family, the sanatorium was the
place for her.
Now she's making baskets, which
means she's on the way to a cure.
She says she's going to stick to cure
taking until the disease is complete
ly arrested.
More than $500 young boys and
girls were examined at the chest clinic
conducted at the Vocational School.

PUBLIC FORUM
A Communication.


There has been an erroneous report
circulated throughout Grant county
regarding the cost to the county of
prosecuting the Shields case, and CEN
surfing the district attorney, George
B. Clementson, severely. The report
has been circulated that the Shields
case cost Grant county $4,000, which
is absolutely false and the facts in
the case are as follows:
Witness fees on preliminary exam
nation, $3.50.
County judges and reporters fees,
$6019.
States witnesses circuit court,
$12696
Sheriff's fees and other expenses
for issuing subpoenas, service of war
rant. etc, $500
If The state is obliged to pay Mr..
Shields witness fees, there would be
an additional cost of approximately
$4,000, which is the total cost in the
Shields case. 1t appears that Mr..
Clemenston has been severely crit
icised for prosecuting this case, by
those who were not familiar with the
case and by those who were inter
ested in making capital out of it.
However, we wish to correct this
erroneous report that has been cir
culated giving the facts and figures
as they appear. The writer PERSONAL
ly knows that Mr.. Clemenston went
the limit in permitting testimony to
be introduced in order to show m
both sides of the case that the pub
lie of the county might know exactly

EXPERIMENTAL WORK
BEGUN in TWELVE STATES
Eleven Farms Have Electric Sere-
ice at Red Wing, Minn.-Sev-
eraI Lines in Alabama.

With the general cooperation or
the National Committee on the Rela-
ton of Electricity to Agriculture, the
great fundamentals of farm electr1fl-
cation are being thoroughly studied IN
ten different states in various sections
of the country. Within the next few
years-for it can hardly be done
much sooner-both the agricultural
and the electrical interests will know
with scientific accuracy just what the
American farmer can hope for in the
way of permanent, extensive and
profitable electric service on his farm,
supplied from the power lines OF cleo
trio light and power companies.
The first of the state Investigations,
and at the present moment the most
advanced of them all, is the co-opera-

Booklet Tells Function
of Electricity on Farm

Summarizing the possibilities of
farming by electricity, an attractive
illustrated booklet has just been is
sued by the General Electric Com
pany, called 1.-THE G-E Farm Book. !"
In addition to listing, with brief de-
scriptive text, the applications of cleo
trio current to field and barn work
and to house work on the farm, the
publication discusses the sources Of
electricity and the principal problems
involved in getting electricity to the
farm.
The main divisions of the booklet
include the sources OF electricity, the
electric light, heat and power com
pany, radio on the farm, electricity in
the home, miscellaneous electrical ap-
plications, lighting on farm buildings,
electricity in poultry raising, in the
farm workshop, in the barn, in the
dairy, in irrigation, and the value of
highway lighting. This booklet is
furnished without cost to farmers or
rural residents interested.

tive experimental line at Red Wing,
Mimi, built by the Northern States
Power Company and to be operated
for at least three years by joint CO
operative committee.
This line now serves eleven out Of
possible total of nineteen customers.
All of these eleven farms have been
wired for electric lights in the farm
houses, eut-buildings and yards. The
electrical apparatus put into opera
ton consists of electric ranges, IRON
ing machines, irons, washing ma
chimes and vacuum cleaners, as well
as electric feed grinders, cream sep
arators and pumps. There are also
on these farms three electric incuba-
tors and three electric brooders.
Equipment Loaned to Farmers
The activities stfn to be undertaken
comprise electric silage cutting and
blowing, electric threshing. electric
wood saving and electric milking. An
effort is also to be made to pillow fields
electrically.
Electrical manufacturing compa-
MES have loaned to the farmers for
three years the equipment which is
being used. From the beginning of
this enterprise electrical manufactur-
ers have followed it keenly. The Cen
eral Electric Company, displaying a
cooperative attitude as to policy, has
both engineers and commercial men
regularly in touch with the work in
Minnesota.
The installation of electrical de-
vices has meant, on several OF the
farms, the necessity of solving Incl
dental problems. When running wa
ter was installed in the house a whole
electric water system, including pip
ing and pumps, was naturally involv-
ed Also in kitchens where the stove
had been relied on for heating as well
as for cooking, the introduction of an
electric range meant making over the
house heating system.

states by all three methods) a
thorough analysis iss being made,
which will not cease until the basic
question is solved, no matter If it

own, particularly in Wisconsin. In
Alabama a very thorough program
for gathering authentic data for the
benefit of the Southern farmer has
been worked out and is partly under
way. A careful survey Of existing
conditions on 500 farms in 25 different
communities has been made, and no
less than four experimental power
lines are in operation, all extending
out of Huntsville.
From these lines twenty farms, one
nursery, one gin and two secondary
agricultural colleges are receiving
electric service. The total length of
the four lines is slightly more than
twelve miles.
Early in the spring of this year in
vestigations were begun to determine
the actual cost and returns from the
use of electric power for the different
appliances on the line. For this pur-
pose each piece Of equipment was
metered separately.
