If your home is rather shy of elec-
trio outlets why not call in capable

you would like to have convenient
outlets, and in very short time he
will install them for you. 1t won't
cost a whole lot. and if you want to
you can have the whole job financed
under the terms of the Federal housing
act
When you are having changes made
in the electrical system to accommo-
date these additional outlets it may
be necessary to provide new SWITCH
ing facilities Combination plates are
now available which will not only
lessen the cost of making the install
lation. but will eliminate the posi-
bility of overlooking the circuit and
blowing fuses A "no-fuse" panel has
been developed which operates as a
circuit breaker-turning off the current
automatically when it is overloaded.
After the cause OF the overload has
been found and corrected it is merely
necessary to throw the "no-fuse"
switch and service has been restored.
The bother of fuse removal is COM
pletely eliminated.
Locating the outlets.
When selecting the various loca-
tions for new outlets. bear in mind the
particular piece of electrical equipment
that you intend to use at that spot.
You should have a twin outlet for
every u feet of wall space in, the
living room for floor lamps. radios,
fans and vacuum cleaners. In the bed
rooms be sure to have outlets for
bedside lamps. heating pads, boudoir
lamps, and radios. Electric clocks,
which are now so popular. nearly al
ways could use special outlets of their
own.
Electric percolators and toasters arc
being used more and more on dining
room tables at breakfasttime. elimi-
mating numerous steps back and forth
from the kitchen. Few houses. how
ever, are equipped with outlets which
will accommodate these simplest Ut
labor saving devices. Usually the
connection is made by running an
unsightly and oftentimes dangerous
extension cord across the floor to
distant wall plug. Or possibly a wire
is run to a light fixture above the
table. Wouldn't ID be much tidier
looking and more convenient If
plug fixture were provided near the
scene of operations, either on the
wall nearer the table or possibly in
the middle of the floor under the
table?
Blessings for the Kitchen.
The kitchen Is another place where
numerous outlets are a blessing. The

OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT.
FOR FARM REALTY.
Over 6,400 Parcels Sold in
1885, Compared With
4,9OO in 1884.

Brisk activity and an optimistic
outlook In farm real estate Is indi-
Gated by figures released today by the
Farm Credit Administration on 1885
operations.
Over 6.400 farms placed on the
market were sold by the Federal land
banks to farmers and other investors
in the first 10 months Of the year.
compared to. 1900 In all Of 1884 and
400 in 1888. In addition, over
thousand part farms were sold in
1885.
Farm real estate sales during 10
months of 1885 amounted to $22.-
$4,000, with recovery of 1912 per
cent of the carrying value, compared
to $l7,600,000 for the entire year
1884 and $14,113,000 in 1888. with
recovery of 100.l and 975 per cent,
respectively. Farm real estate held
by the banks on october 81. 1885.
amounted to s95,8l6,000.
Banks Have Steady Business.
While the emergency refinancing
Of farm debts undertaken by the land
banks is now practically terminated.
the banks have had steady business
of normal financing during the year
and an unusual demand for loans to
finance the purchase of farms. Ap-
plications for such loans are now
being received at the rate Of about
1000 a month.
A part of the new interest in farm
purchases was generated by provisions
of the farm credit act of 1885, which
authorized the land bank commits
sioner to make first or second mort
gage loans for farm purchases in
amounts up to rs per cent of the ap-.
praised normal value Of the property
to be purchased. Around $500 .000, 900
Of commissioner loans have been
made since the Spring of 1888. but
until recently were used almost en-
tirely for refinancing old debts.
Interest Payments Up.
During the first IL months of 1885
farmers paid over $61 .000. 900 interest
on Federal land bank loans, which
was approximately 80 per cent of the
interest maturing, compared to about
$50, 900 900 of interest collected in the
corresponding period Of 1884. which
was 81 per cent of maturities.
During the year the Federal land
banks were successful in refunding
considerable part Of their outstand-
ing bonds at lower rates. and as a
result gradually dropped the contract
rate of interest on new loans through
national farm loan associations from
to per cent A temporary reduc-
ton to 31a per cent is provided for
year ending June 80, 1886.
