The farmer is just entering the
most progressive era in modern agri-
cultural history. The revolutionizing
influence that will give him a prac
ical way to increase his efficient;
ind prosperity is farm electrification
This development is still in its in
fancy, but its success is indicated
Speaking of what it will mean to in
ral life Matthew S. Sloan, Presiden r
Brooklyn Edison Company, said re
cently: “As electricity has taken tV
back-breaking drudgery out of factor
work and greatly increased factor •
production, at lowered unit cost, sft It
is taking the toil, the muscle wprk,
out, of farming and reducing cost of
crop production.
“That is one of the remaining fron-
tiers which electricity is breaking
down, and I do not think of any one
piece of work ahead of the electric in-
dustry which is more important in
its social and economic implications.

To those who went down in defeat
lagt Saturday will you accept my
heartfelt sympathy? I know by expe-
rience that you feel like a drifting der-
;elict and a friendless outcast, but not
so; you are poorer and wiser. You
will agree with me now, that all men,
and some women, are born liars. I
offer this consoling fact, that with few
exceptions the best men are always
defeated.
Now folks, altogether, let us take
these boys back into full fellowship,
given them a piping hand and a
friendly handshake (they did you)—
point out to them the star of hope
that never grows dim. They have
fought a good fight, they have run a
good race, they have learned the les-
son of life—they went wrong and dab-
bled in politics. Let’s lift them up.
All together, men.
Consolingly,

To which the reluctant victim was
forced to bellow: . •
“Ice cream! Ice cream!”
That childish diversion has passed,
but not the vogue for ice cream,
which has since developed endless
variations.
Science Approves Ice Cream
Science has investigated ice cream,
also, and doctors recommend it as a
wholesome food. Out kt th|e Uni-
versity of California, reseaxth work-
ers have been making fruit ice
creams, using canned fruits, in an
endeavor to see what grade to use
and how to use it.
Much to their surprise, they found
that the “water1” dr “pie” frnit,
which is canned without added
syrup or in water without sugar,
made the best icc cream. This was
largely because there was much
more fruit of this grade in each can
arid not an excess of liquid. The
grade is, of course, tnpeh lower in
nrice' than are the fancier ones; and
how pleasant it is to 'know that the
cheaper is the better fetr your .ptrr-
uosc! Theit are two grade s of ,pre
fruits,, one is the solid pa< wTridh

In the experiments, the investi-
gators developed ice cream recipes
using apricots, figs, peaches, pears
and crushed pineapple, but as they
were planned for commercial quan-
tities, they will not be given here,
but we will give canned fruit ice
cream recipes in home quantities in-
