BARES UNIQUE
LIGHT TEST
Oil Lamps Found Cheaper
Than CandIes-Electricity
Cheapest Of All

In 1894 there was published in
the 'sunited States. Gazette" OF
Phiadelphia an interesting commen-
tary on the respective merits and
costs Of candle and oil illumination.
A test WIS made Of both mediums
in the form OF an ordinary glass
lamp having q fiat wick half an
inch broad, and nodded candle
OF the size called skies" Both
were allowed to burn sixteen and a
half hours. Two end three fifths
candles and five ounces Of oil
tabout one-t third Of a pint were con-
sumed during the test.
Telling OF this test the Gazette"
sayss From this experiment 1t ap-
pears that one gallon Of oil will
burn four hundred and two and
two-fffth hours, and that ten and
three-fifth pounds OF candles will
burn the same period OF time. Sup
posing. therefore, oil to be seventy
five cents per gallon, Il ID equal in
expense to nodded candles at seven
cents per pound.
AS oil can be bought for less
candles always waste by being moved
from place to place, it is evident
that the advantage on the side Of
oil is. very great
It is interesting to note that at
the costs given for candles and oil
respectively. and estimating the
cost OF electrical current at ten
cents per kilowatt hour, that cleo
tricity makes possible a tremendous
saving to householders.
In other words, one candle power
OF light derived from nodded
candles cost the old-time home
maker one and a fifth cents; one
candle power from illuminating oil
cost seven-tenths of a cent. while
one candle power of light derived
from an electric incandescent lamp
costs modern home-makers but one
hundYedth of q cent.
When the other tremendous adj
vantages Of electricity are con-
sidered in comparison with drippy,
tallow candles or smoking. danger
Gus oil lamps, the 1925 housewife
should indeed be moved to thank
fulness that she lives in this age,
enlightened by such a splendid
medium az the electric lamp.

YEGG TO PEN
FOR 5 YEARS

Minot, N. d., Jan. 17.-Asserting
that society is safe from "men like
you only when you are incarcerated,"
Judge Andrew Miller in federal court
recently sentenced Stanley Brown,
convicted postoffice robber, to serve
a five year and a 10 year sentence
in the federal penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, the sentences
to run consecutively, and to pay a
fine of 1000. Brown was convicted
on two counts of an indictment re-
turned against him by federal
grand jury.
Brown accepted sentence apparent
ly nonchalantly, walking from his
place in front of the bar to chair
at the counsePs table, where he sat
down and wheeled around to smile
at his wife who sat gazing down.
ward. The convict evinced no sign
Of emotion at any time, and the only
words (which he spoke to the court
ere sentence was passed was to deny
an Interrogation as to whether he
had ever been arrested at Sioux City,
Iowa, on holdup charge, and to ad-
nit that he had served sentences in
the Minnesota penitentiary and in
the South Dakota state prison.
Brown said that he had been arrest
ed in Sioux City on a vagrancy
charge, and was shortly released.

Oppose Sunday
Observance Law

Darlington, N. D., Jan. 17.-Peti-
tions are being circulated through
out Foster county and other counties
of North Dakota to ask congress to
vote down the proposed Sunday Com
pulsory observance bill which is soon
to be taken up by the senate.
Chief in their opposition to the
pending bill, which is docketed as
"S. 321S," are the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists, and they ask not only the
defeat of this bill but the defeat of
any other religious legislation that
may be pending.
Andrew Schmidt of Stutsman
county, who lives on a farm IL miles
south of Sykeston, is one of the
most ardent opponents of the pro-
posed bill. Mr.. Schmidt has been in
the United States for 26 years, and
he came here from Russia, where he
says that he suffered persecution for
his religious convictions.

ASKS FIGHT ON
SMOKES LAW
f. L. Watkins Appeals to
Church Congregations

Stating that "the attitude of Gov
ernor A. G. Sorlie and his opposition
to the passage of moral laws and
his request that the Legislature re-
peal the snuff and cigarette laws.
make it very probable that the
cigarette law will be repealed"
Rev. +. l.. Watkins, superin-
tendent of the State Enforcement
League, has issued request to
"Friends Of Moral Laws" for action.
Mr.. Watkins suggests that a res.
olution be prepared against repeal
Of the anti-snuff and anti-cigarette
laws, presented to church congrega-
tons, vote taken and the resolu-
tions sent to the legislature.
He also suggests having men and
women write the Governor and Sen
ate and House members urging that
these laws be not repealed.
Request for quick action is made.

township, Barnes county, north of
here, by bursting flames and strang-

who had living quarters on the sec

phone checked the blaze enough to
allow them to run past it and out
of doors. The structure soon was q
mass Of flames and was destroyed.
The fire broke out between parti-
tions. and is believed to have been
caused by defective wiring or a short
circuit. 1t was discovered about 5
a. m. and is believed to have smoul-
dered for several hours before burst
ing into flame.
