THE FUTURE OF ELECTRICITY. !,

~~~~
In the opinion of experts the pres
ent demand for electric service should
be trebled in the next 10 or 10 years.
A survey of the past quarter-century
in electrical history gives more than
adequate grounds for such forecast.
Practically all the vast progress that
has electrified thousands of commu-
mites, many of them small and isolat-
ed, and revolutionized the life of our
wage earners has been made in 25
years. Yet the field for possible devel-
opment has barely been touched. Elec-
trification of homes and factories is
far from complete and new uses for
power are being discovered almost
daily. Great railroad electrication
projects have been inaugurated and
others are planned. And one of the
greatest of all developments, the cleo
trification of farms and rural terri
tory, is in it's infancy Mass produc-
ton and distribution of power,
through the medium Of interconnected
electric systems serving hundreds of
communities and countless homes and
factories, has steadily raised the quail
ity and efficiency of service while de-
creasing the cost. The day Of the
small plant giving Indispensable and
frequently interrupted service to a
| few customers at relatively high
cost is over. No imagination can ac-
curately foretell the future. Uses of
power will be evolved that as yet
are undreamed of. The home and fac
tory and farm will reach standards of
prosperity and efficiency that far ex-
coed anything within present human
knowledge. The electrical age is still
| gathering momentum and moving for
j ward at a dazzling pace.

Peter Learns About the Fish.
Who knows his need is wise indeed
II he avoids the taint of greed.


Peter Rabbit was sitting near the
Laughing Brook. He was hidden under
a fern. It was Just the sort of place
in which Peter likes to Sit He could
see any one who might come along,
yet was not himself likely to be seen.
It Is by sitting in such places that
Peter had learned so much.
Now, just beyond Peter was pool
in the Laughing Brook. It was q fa-
vorite pool of trout. Many nice trout
had Farmer Browns Boy taken from
that pool Many d nice trout had Billy
Mink and Little Joe Otter caught there.
And many a school of little trout and
minnows had Peter himself seen in the
clear water of that pool.
Peter was thinking of the grumbling
he had heard on the part of various
fishermen who were in the habit Of
Bear was one, Billy Mink was another.
Rattles the KingfSher was third, and
there was Longlegs the Night Heron.
All had been complaining that some
one had taken most of the fish from:
the Laughing Brook. But who 1t was
no one seemed to know.
At one side of the pool near which
Peter sat was a great fiat rock. As
Peter looked over at 1t he saw head
appear on the farther side, and then
there glided up over the edge OF that
rock one of the biggest watersnakes
Peter had ever seen. It was Mrs.
watersnake. She coiled up for q sun
bath. Peter wasn't afraid Of her, for he
knew he was too big for Mrs. Water
snake to pay any attention to. So he
remained right where he was. Mrs.

last she began to move. She slid over
the edge of the rock into the water, and
Peter thought he had probably seen the
| last of her.
But Peter hadn't seen the last of
Mrs. Watersnake. Almost at once she
reappeared and climbed back upon the
rock. In her mouth was nice young
trout. This she began to swallow head
first as soon as she was out on the
rock. Little by little it disappeared.
Goodness, what job a snake has
to eatl" thought Peter. I'm glad I
don't have to swallow my food that
way. don't see what fun there can
be in eating. My, my, look at her
mouth stretch! It makes my jaws
ache just look ing at her"
After while the trout disappeared
down the throat of Mrs. Watersna1s
and she once more settled herself for
sunbath. But Peter noticed that her
head was close to the edge of the big
rock, where she could look down into
the water. It wasn't long before she
glided into the water again, and once
more she came up with trout, which
she proceeded to swallow in the same
manner that she had swallowed the
first one
It suddenly popped into Peters head
that here might be one cause of the
scarcity of fish in the Laughing Brook.
Already Mrs. Watersnake had taken two
while Peter had been watching her.
If there were many of her kind ur
and down the Laughing Brook, it was
no wonder that the fish were getting
scarce. 1T seems to me-" thought
Peter, that I have heard that Water
snake families are very large families.
If that Is so, 1t must take lot of fish
to feed the young snakes when they get
big enough to take fish. And because
they are seldom seen these snakes could
Fget most OF the fish in a brook without
any one ever knowing it. They might
get the fish and others get the blame. "

Wendell McKibben and Oscar Ham,

Wendell McKibben and Oscar Ham,
mers, Seniors at Wiona Teachers Col
lege came up Friday to be at the
tournament. Wendell in high school
here and has made name for himself
at Winona, where he was also star
player. Winona College won State
championship among similar colleges.
Miss Cecilia, Schwengle, Senior at
Mankato State College, spent the
weekend at home, incidentally taking
in the tournament at Redwood Falls.
The principal topic of interest
among the farmers and business men
at this time is the hoped for building
of a new and up-to-date creamery
for Lamberton. The subject has been
in the minds of the more progressive
for some time. In no community is
there to be found more progressive
and aggressive farmers than in the
Lamberton district. Dairying is
steadily increasing but the disposal
of cream has been unsatisfactory and
a large amount to various cream
stations. There is no doubt that even
those grocers who handle cream
would profit much larger extent by
the increased volume of business that
would be sure to come to Lamberton
business men through the building of
a new creamery. To this end G.. G.
Baker of Slayton, who is now here
and a field representative will solicit
every dairy farmer in the territory
for the sale of stock at one hundred
dollars a share. Mr.. Baker is di-
rector of the Land O'Lakes Dreamer
les is much enthused and encouraged
a second meeting of the tentative
board of the new creamery was held
in DIR. Van Duzee's office Friday eve
ming with some of the farmers at
which time a report of the sale of
sixty shares was made. 1t is hoped
that with better roads and the assist
ance of Mr.. Beyers, field man, the
sales can be pushed to a successful
close by April first. The contem-
plated building would cost approx
mately $4,000. To this end all
farmers and all business men are
urgently requested to put their
shoulders to the wheel and boost the
new creamery that will bring added
prosperity to all.
Mrs. William Wolfe, eighty-three
years of age, mother of Mrs. Frank
Kaatz living south of Lamberton,
