CHEAPEST CHORE
BOYS CARRIED TO
FARM BY WIRES
These Hired Hands Also Perform
Household Tasks Quickly And
Neatly Without Complaint.

Farm boys who reluctantly turn a
tanning mill to clean grain probably
will feel no better about that task
when they hear |. P. Blauser, special
ist in agricultural engineering, Ohio
State University, say that five cents
worth of electrical power will oper-
ate mill long enough to clean loo
bushels of grain.
Boy-power on the tanning mill
would be worth only a fraction Of a
cent an hour when compared with the
expense of electrical energy. Rural
homemakers also would fall into the
low-wage class when doing the family
washing because another five cents
worth of electricity will turn out a
big washing.
Father places himself in the coolie
class every time he milks the cows,
because five cents worth of electricity
will operate a mixer while milking
20 cows. That would make the farmer
milk four cows by hand for cent
Most farmers would concede two OF
three cents an hour is a rather low
wage for effort expended after hard
day in the fields.
The servant that rides the power
wires also will do other onerous farm
tasks for five cents. Mr.. Blauser in
cludes in the nickel class such jobs
as turning a grindstone three hours
mixing two tons of feed, grinding 10(
to 1000 pounds of grain, shearing 75
sheep, pumping 1000 gallons of wa
ter, churning 100 pounds of butter
or washing 1000 milk bottles. Al
these tasks can be done with power
delivered through electric motors, as
well as an additional 100 jobs which
may cost more for power.
Motors, ranging in size from one
sixtieth to seven and one-half horse
power are adapted for farm uses
Most power companies forbid the use
of larger motors on rural lines. Prices
on quarter-horsepower motors may
range from Sc to SIS, depending on
the type.
The size of motor to use, of course,
depends on the size of the taks to be
done. Household tasks and many
farm chores fall within the province

Keep Your Grit!

Hang on! Cling on! No matter

Push on Sing on! Things will

Sitting down and whining never

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Presg financial Writle.

NEW YORK, April lin one Of
the fastest Saturday sessions in
more than year, the stock market
today rallied and then relapsed
at frequent intervals but managed
to end on rising note.
The European scene held Wall
Streets attention to the virtual
exclusion of domestic business and
political happenings. Many traders
were said to have stepped In on
the buying side at the opening on
the theory the sharp declines OF
the past two days called for q
correction" no matter what trans.
pireS overseas.
The rapid churning of the list put
the ticker tape several minutes be-
hind floor dealings during almost
the entire first hour. There was
showdown in the final period as
Hitler started his speech at Will
helmshaver. A revival of bidding
come back for numerous issues that
had undergone pressure after tho
opening. Transfers for the two
hours approximated 100000 shares.
Final gains ran to or more
points for favorites, but there were
number of losers of as much.
The financial district seemed to
derive some courage from the be-
lief that the stronger stand Of the
Anglo-French entente might avert
war. In addition indications of calm
over the week end were seen in
the fact Prime Minister Chamber
lain left London for his country
home, Polish Foreign Minister Josef
Beck had not seen fit to postpone his
trip to London tomorrow, and Mus
solini's latest utterances were viewed
as relatively moderate.
Prominent stocks on the recovery
shift included United States Steel,

General Motors, Chrysler, United
States Rubber, Goodyear, Mont
gomery Ward, Doublas Aircraft,

has been in every instance, that
New Deal legislation has been en-.

the guise Of dealing with an emer-

Looking Out for Their Jobs

(Pondera NewsJ
The desire of some men to keep
Mr.. Roosevelt in office is under
standable-it means keeping them
selves in jobs. Undoubtedly Harold
donald Duck) Ickes has pondered
how drab life would be as 4 one
horse lawyer back in Chicago and
undoubtedly Harry Hopkins shiv-
ers when he thinks of going back to
beating tine sidewalks of New York 8
slums as a social worker. These boys
are the real coat-tail riders. They
realize the deep-seated hostility Of
the American people against pres
ident remaining in Office for more
than two terms, so they are build
ing up a picture Of the desire of
kindly Mr.. Roosevelt ito return to
his fields and woods. unless
here they take a quick breath-un-
less circumstances arise that would
make it impossible for him to lay
down his burden. What circum-
stances. you ask? Oh, war. with
or without threat of our involve.
ment or an equally acute emerpen-
cy. In that event. We are solemnly
told, Mr.. Roosevelt would not let
lis personal desires interfere in
what would seem to him to be his
duty.
Such an unwanted statement,
coming from the secretary of inte-
rior may be taken with grain of
salt. No doubt there will be an
emergency around in 1910. The
president and his New Dealers al
ways can coniure an emergency
when it suits their convenience. II
one does not happen along, they'll
contrive one. Back in March OF
1887. you remember. when Presi-
dent Roosevelt was fighting to pack
the supreme court, he told the coun-
try crisis was just around the cor

Salinese Highly Cultured

Far from being childlike people,
the Balinese are highly cultured and
responsible. Their culture is in part
due TO the fact that when the east
ward surge of Mohammedanism
drove the intcllectuals of Java into
Bali they brought with them their
classics and continued to write
poetry and cultivate the arts of mu-
sic, dancing, sculpture, painting.
etc, in Bali. Virtually everybody in
Bali is an artist; priests, peasants,
coolies, princes, men, women. and
children alike all are more or less
trained in dancing. wood carving,
acting. or singing
