FARM LIGHTING AIDED
Ideas in G-E Farm Book on What
Lights to Use and Where
to Put Them

In an attractive publication recent
ly issued by the General Electric
Company. the G-E Farm Book, a com.
plete plan for lighting the farm and
the farm buildings by electricity is
sketched out Not only the farm
house. but the %barnyard and barn it.
self, dairy buildings. the stable for
horses or cows. the silo and granary,
the hay NOW. the garage and tool
shed, and the poultry house are in
cluded in the suggested method Of
electrical illumination.
A diagram Of an electric lighting
system for every floor of the farm
house is shown. There is also a dia.
gram suggesting how the control of
the lights at the barn. poultry house
and in the b%arnyard a be obtained
from the farmers dwelling house.
On Protection of Wires
TN wiring farm buildings" says
the GLE Farm Book, conduit or
armored cable should be employed.
While there is no likelihood of fire
with insulated electric wires. mois-
ture or ammonia fumes my rot the
insulation. rubbing against walls may
wear it, or rats and mice may gnaw
it, causing live wires to be exposed.
ITO avoid breakage of lamps in
shed. at the silo chute and similar
places, wire guards can be used. In
dairy cattle exercise barns. or other
buildings where stock is allowed to
run loose, switches should be placed
at least six feet from the floor, so
that the stock annot strike against
them. 1t is best to fasten over them
a wooden box-like cover with an open
bottom. as cattle will sometimes at
tempt to investigate an exposed
switch with their tongues.
at is advisable in barns and espe.
cially in dairy buildings to install
porcelain or moisture-proof switches
and wiring devices. They last longer
and are generally far more satisfac-
tory than metal devices in outside In
s%tallations or where there is ugch
moisture"

What t1e think dbOutitI
WEDDING BELLS

The State census records show
that there T in Wyoming nearly
three times as many unmarried
females. The numbers are, respect
lively, 1882 and 1852. What's
the matter with Wyoming's bach
elors? The situation does not appear
to be as it should be. Is it possible
that not the bachelors but the mate
less females r responsible for it
in the greatest measure-that they
prefer "single ~blessedness' to con-
nubial bliss?" The inference is
obvious, regardless of whether in
ference and fact coincide, that with
three unmarried men for each I'M
married woman the latter should
find it difficult to remain unmar-
ried.
The State census provides further
interesting marital information. 1t
lists 44,578 married males and Al,
$40 married females. Inasmuch as
a wife is essential to the marriage
state and the census records 2,73S
NOR husbands than wives that
number of Wyoming husbands must
have wives who are resident else
where than in Wyoming. At first
flush the beneficiary of marital con
tentment is disposed to be sympa-
thetic toward them but Sc cond-
thought tempers the sentiment-one
should know the circumstances re-
sponsible for separation before ar
irving at a conclusion. Possibly
some of these resident husbands
without wives befittingly might
be extended congratulations, in the
cases of others probably it is the
wives who should be congratulated,
in a few cases possibly ~congratula-
lions of both husband and wife
would be apropos.-Wyoming Tri-

GUERRA CLEARS
POLL TAX
MIDDLE
Consul Urges Mexicans
IN 5. A. and Bexar
to Pay Levy.

Every Mexican citizen living in San
Antonio or Bexar county should pas
his poll tax.
Their citizenship as Mexicans does
not conflict, and is no. compromised
in any manner.
These announcements were made
Friday by Servando Barrera Guerra,
Mexican consul at San Antonio, after
studying the laws Of the State OF
Texas relative to the poll tax and
their possible effect on the Mexican
citizenship.
According to Consul Bsrrera sew
pral Mexican citizens have been call
hg daily at the Mexican consulate
requesting advice as 20 whether they
should pay the poll tax and il in do
ing this their nationality would be az
lected.
HAS NO EFFECT.
: n discussing the poll tax the con
sul explained that the fact OF paying
this tar, does not entitle Mexican
citizen to vote unless he has taken
ont his naturalization papers and does
not affect his citizenship.
"Some Mexican citizens have the
wrong idea about the poll tax" Con
sui Barrera said. "They think that in
paying it they will have to vote. No
one can vote unless he is an American
citisen or has been nationalized, even
if he has paid his poll tax.
MORALLY BOUND.
Morally" he continued. @every
Mexican citizen residing in Bexar
county is obliged to pay the poll tar.
for with this tax the public school ex-
penses are paid and the highways
maintained. And since they make use
of the schools to educate their chill
dren and use the highways, it is no
more than fair that they should share
the expenses with the other residents
Of the county"
