Automatic selling has made rapid
strides since the World War. Chewing

cities, one may buy through machines
a large number of commodities, lncluo-

brushes and paste, razor blades, canules
and even groceries.
Numerous services are made avallaoie

Great Britain Best Customer.
Several foreign countries are COM

manufacture of coin-operated machines.
notably Great Britain, Germany and
Denmark. Despite this competition,
numerous machines are sold in these
countries. Great Britain is the best
customer, although there IS a special
handicap in that country to the spread
of coin operated machines because OF
the lack of a decimal coinage. Ameri-
can manufacturers have had to make
special study of the coins of the coun-
tries to which their goods are delivered
and adapt their mechanisms to the

Rise and Fall of Spinach.

The American public seems to have
been literally fed up on spinach, not
withstanding the vegetables hearty in
dorsement by the medical fraternity.
It may have been that the rebellion was
in the domestic nursery, for fond par
ents were given to forcing the spinach
upon their little offspring. and the chill
dren as a rule do not evince any great
amount of interest in it. In fact, they
refuse it absolutely in most cases. This
decline is indicated by the fall in the
imports of seed, for most all the crop
of this country has been grown from
foreign seed. In 1924 this figure reached
100000 pounds. but in 1925 there was
a decline to $4,000 pounds. The fol-
lowing year the figure was 2,471 900
pounds, and in 1927 there was another
small decline to 2,085,7 pounds.

BOOTHS DEFENSE
!. IS DUE WEDNESDAY
Counsel, Rather Than Gen.
eral, Expected to Appear
Before High Council.
~ the Associated Press.

LONDON, February 8.-Gen. Brani-
well Booth, commander in -chief of the
Salvation Army, has until next Wed
nesday to appear before the armys
high council and defend himself against
proposed deposition.
I'VE are making our last delay in
the settlement Of this important mat
ter" said a leading member of the
high council. THE general has been
given every opportunity to state his
case in full through his counsel, Will
liam A. Jowitt. But 1t Is a fortnight
since the Chancery Court decided he
must be heard, and members of the
council must return to their distant
posts.
I'VE have agreed to the postponement
until next Wednesday because Counsel
Jowitt has explained to us he would be
engaged before the House of Lords on
Tuesday"
1t is expected that Jowitt, rather
than the general himself, will appear
before the high council Former ad-
judication Of the general as unfit to
continue in his post was declared in
valid by the Chancery Court because
his defense had not been heard.
Another note in the army conflict
was sounded by Commander Evangeline
Booth, sister of the general, who said
she was distressed because after six
weeks sojourn in England she had not
been allowed to see her brother.
She complained that total strangers
were allowed to have long converse
tons with him. while she was excluded.
She is a leader of the reform element
in the army which is seeking to depose
the general.

an offer by the company on the ground
that the recapture provisions were not
satisfactory. The revised offer con-
tanned what was described as more adj

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK
BY Edison X. Waite

j. F. Owens. vice-president and
general manager of the Oklahoma Gas
& Electric Company. says:
That one OF the greatest problems
confronting the country today is the
retention on the farm of the type of
men, who after leaving the farm, have
made successes III modern business
ventures.
To keep men Of this character on the
farm there must be brought to the
farm many of the conveniences that
are commonplace in city life
These conveniences must be such as
will eliminate much of the drudgery
incident to farm life and bring more
profits.
Men and women on the farm are
entitled to leisure hours for recre-
alton and cultural development.
Electricity has demonstrated by its
use where it is available in the country
that much of the drudgery incident to
farm work may be eliminated by tax
ing advantage OF what electricity
offers,
Bringing electricity to the farms
offers many intricate problems. but
these problems should be studied by all
IF the parties interested, to the end
that the greatest utilization of this
modern boon to mankind may be avail
able for the rural sections to the same
extent as it is in urban localities.
Careful study of the problems in
golved in bringing electrical power to
the farms will prove to all parties at
interest its feasible application to
agriculture.
