be demonstrated that by applying
electric energy to all farm operations
in which electricity can be of service,
and to all possible duties in the farm
household, the use of electric current
will be so great that the power COM
pany will find it profitable to make
the rates low. Otherwise, as already
stated, the number of customers per
mile of transmission line is so small
in the country, as compared to the
city, that the expense, and hence the
rates, are much greater.
Solution Rests With Farmer
This puts the whole matter upon
the shoulders of each individual farm
err Contrary to what the farmer
might suppose, the more electricity he
uses the cheaper he gets it-provided
that every other farmer follows the
same procedure. While it might cost
every farmer in a given territory rs
cents a killowatt hour for electricity
if each of them used the electricity
merely for electric lights in the farm.
house and the barn (because of the
expense of building and maintaining
the transmission line with only three
customers per mile, compared to ten
times that number in the city, 1t
might cost each farmer only 10 cents

II this idea Is found to be correct it
will perhaps prove one of the biggest
possibilities ever placed before the
modern farmer. It will show a way
out of the present dilemma-hew to
provide power line electric service on

it economically justifiable to both
farmer and power company.

cussed particularly the factors which
make it difficult to furnish the farmer
with electric energy as cheaply as 1t
can be provided for the city and town
user.
lone mile Of city distribution line
ordinarily serves from thirty to one
hundred customers" said DR.. Neff.
"But one mile of distribution line in
farming districts usually serves only
three customers. 1t can be readily
seen, therefore, that power company
can serve city customers more cheap
ly than rural customers.
"But If farmers can use electricity
for every possible farming purpose 1t
seems likely that rural rates can be
made so cheap that no farmer can at
ford to be without electric service,
and every farmer can afford to have
it. It is to prove or disprove this fact
that the present investigation is be-
ing made"
To Put Theory to Test
This theory Of securing electric
service for farmers on reasonable
cost basis by electrifying the entire

Tokyo.-The future of the leper il

less contagious than is generally sup
posed, a judicious system of segrega
ton. with the present methods of treat
ment, will rid Korea of the menace
according to Mr.. Mackenzie, head Of

"At one of these nine patients h. ge
been discharged with no trace OF th|
disease left" said Mr. Mackenzie. BE
fore the special treatment was begun
in the Fusan asylum the yearly deatt
rate always was above 2 per cent
For the last year it stands at 21a pei
cent. but as half the deaths resulted
from typhoid it may be said that the
death rate from normal causes was
only slightly over 1 per cent.

1924, age 48 years, IL months and II

this loved one.
She was an ardent believer of the
Catholic faith and died with all the
rights of the church. Some few years
ago her health began to fail and all
that medical aid and loving hands
could do was of no avail.
She contracted cancer, and for
months bore her suffering with the
fortitude of a Christian until death
relieved her.
Besides her aged mother she leaves
five sisters, Hattie of Watson, Sask,
Canada; Ida of Lyons, Iowa; Theresa
of Beverly Hills, Calf; Josephine and
Martha at home. Two brothers, Jo-

Those who preceded her in death
were her father, Joseph Gunther, July

March 8, 1919.
Relatives from abroad who attended
the funeral were Anna Palmer of

This, of course, cut down the
