distinctive place among the service
clubs in Casper and it's membership
is alive to possibilities of making
their own town and state outstand-
ing in the west said D. w. Green
burg, president of the club, in a
statement just issued. I'VE want
the people of Wyoming to know
that the influence of the organi-

Wind Power For
Farm Electricity

Wind-driven electrical generators
have not come into general use for
rural homes because of the feeling
that wind is too capricious a power
to be depended upon. To meet a
growing demand for an economical
and efficient plant of this type, sci
entists of the weather bureau and the
Nebraska State Agricultural college
have made a study of wind velocity
at Lincoln, Nebr., over a 10-year per-
lod to determine, chiefly, for what
percentage of the time the wind is
too light to operate such a plant.
A minimum wind velocity of 10
miles an hour is necessary to charge
batteries, it has been found. It is
not necessary, however, to charge
batteries continuously, or every day.
80 the wind need not blow at the
rate of 10 miles per hour throughout
the day or on successive days. Under
average conditions five hours charg-
ing every two or three days is suffi-
clent to keep the batteries in good
condition.
Periods of from three to five con-
secutive days without sufficient wind
TO charge batteries were not frequent
The Bozeman courier., 1927-01-07

They occurred oftener in late summer
and early winter than in. spring.
Longer periods of low wind move
ment averaged less than one a year,
occurring in any season except the
spring. Since the amount of elec-
tricity used on farms depends mainly
upon the amount used for lighting
purposes, more electricity is con-
sumed during the months when the
nights are longer. The batteries then
require more frequent charging. 1t
is interesting to find that in the dark
er months when the wind power is
most needed the percentage of hours
when it blows 10 miles or more per
hour is more than enough to charge
the batteries sufficiently. Further
investigation is needed in this field,
but the day seems not far distant
when hundreds of rural homes will
have wind-power plants for general
ing electricity.

There are certain definite require
N1ents Of bidding that should be com
pied with at all times, if the auction
player wants to become a sound bidder.
These requirements are more or less
arbitrary and vary with the position
Of the bidder. For example, if you hold
five hearts to the ace, king, it is a sound
heart bid if you are dealer; but if three
players have passed, it is not sound
