Wires are the
Nerves of Industry
TT AVE you ever seen a progressive
A Acity without wires, hidden or ex-
posed—the copper wires, the metal
nerves of industry?
Every surgeon knows that to cut a
tendon, sever a sinew, part a nerve,
is to restrict the functioning of the
human body.
Every engineer likewise knows that
td separate a community from its source
of light and power, is to set that com-
munity back a long span of years. Were
this separation to be prolonged, sus-
pended animation would take effect
and city progress would be done a
death blow.
We are accustomed to the free use
of hands and legs, and we are also
accustomed to the daily advantages of
reliable and ample electric light and
power It is only as we picture what
deprivation would mean, that we can
fully appreciate the blessings of this
modern age of health and light and
power and the other conveniences that
are ours.

Birds Like Candy
Commenting on grackles Mrs.
&nsel 0. Cole of Iowa informs Na-
ture Magazine of Washington of an
interesting bird party held for her
many bird friends. Mrs. Cole put
?andy on the birds’ feeding table.
I'he result was surprising, for
among those who attended the party
mere robins and their young, ori-
oles and their babies, catbirds, blue-
jays, cardinals, rose-breasted gross-
beaks, - chickadees, nuthatches,
tufted titmice and, of course, Eng-
lish sparrows. Grackles flocked in
and carried off bits to their young.
They also tried the soaking' process
in the bird bath and appeared much
surprised and chagrined to see the
oandy dissolve.
Ocean Sounded by Sound
By a new invention the depth of
the ocean is being sounded by sound.
The echo sounder, as the new ma-
chine is named, works on the prin-
ciple that sound is echoed back from
the bed of the sea, just as it would
be from cliffs on the shore. The
ipeed at which sound travels in sea
water is 4,935 feet a second. The
distance to the bottom is determined
by the length of time it takes for
the sound to travel there and back
to' the ship.
Teeth and Taxes
Believing that a dental clinic for
civil employees would lower taxes by
reducing time lost through sick
leave, the city health officer of Syd-
ney, Australia, has recommended
chat one be established. Ho savs
that it Would require the full time
of a dentist and a female dental as-
sistant, and that the cost would be
$10,000 the first year and $5,000
each year thereafter.
Dough Mixer Turned Trick
An attempt to rob a bakery at
Temple, Texas, was unsuccessful.
Failure was due to employees in the
fear of the bakery who unexpected-
ly turned on a high-speed electric
Jough mixer, which the bandits mis-
took for an automatic alarm. When
;he whirring noise began they de-
camped speedily leaving behind
Frank Butler, the owner, with hands
raised in the air.
Practically all eggs, when first
laid are of equally good quality.
It’s of course true that size,,color
and shape of egg are important
factors, in a first class egg, how-
ever these factors, must be con-
trolled by breeding. Under aver-
age conditions all eggs are fresh
when first laid. Soon after they
are laid they deterioate very fast,
unless given the proper care.
There is no way to convert a bad
egg into a good one, the only
thing to do is to keep it; from get-
ting bad.
Pages after pages have been
written about the necessity of re-
moving all roosters after hatching
season and thus producing only
infertile eggs. Speeches have been
made by the hundreds, blaming
the roosters for several million
dollars annual egg loss due to bad
eggs. Country Agricultural Agents
and home Demonstration Agents,
'have been appealing to the
farmers with tears in their eyes, to
help produce a better egg, by re-
moving the roosters from the
flock during warm weather. Great
trains have been run, showing the
importance of producing infertile
eggs. In many States the politi-
cians have been considering pas-
sing a law, making it illegal to
Produce anything but infertile
eggs in warm weather: The IT. ,S.
Dept, of Agriculture, has spent
thousands of dollars in "printers
ink, paper, motion picture reels,
etc., to further show why the roos-
ter should be kept away from the
laying hens out of breeding sea-
son. In R. R. stations and court-
houses all over the country, color-
ed posters have been piit up, to
show the necessity of producing
infertile eggs. In many cities and
towns, everything but the fire
department has been called upon
to put on a “rooster day” .or a
rooster parade, merely to get the
people to bring the surplus
males to town and market them
to help \produce infertile! eggs.
County school Sup er mferiden t s
and have been getting the school
children interested in the cam-
paign. Boys and Girls Club work
all over the State have been talk-
ing about the importance of pro-
ducing infertile eggs.
The infertile egg campaign has
been just about as successful as
prohibition. It is hard to under-
stand, why our egg producers can-
not see tiie advantage of produc-
ing infertile eggs in hoUweather.
It is not because they do not
kpow. It s riot because they cannot
find the time, because in 30 minu-
tes they can do the job. It is not
because it does not pay, because
infertile eggs bring more on the
market than fertile ones.
The male birds, will eat a great
deal of feed between nowj and
next hatching season, old males
are not desirable for breeding
purposes, because young males
are morq vigorous and produce
better fertility.—By F. W. Kaz-
meier, Bryan Texas.

Rushing to the front window, ]
according to the story, she wateh-
ed her husband close the garden
gate and walk toward his club'-.
Trembling within every limb
with a peculiar sense of expect-
ancy, she left the room and enter-
ed his study. |
Yes, his coat was there, hang-
ing from a peg on the inside of
the door.
Qufqkly she searched the
pockets and with a cry of an-
guish she found what she had
dreaded, but yet fully expected.
It was the telltale letter—the
envelope addressed in an unmis-
takable feminine hand—oh, the
brute! to deceive her like this.
She could never believe him,
again—and to think that she had
trusted him—oh, what a fool she
had been.
With a sudden resolve she de-
cided to act. Rushing up into her
bedroom she donned her hat and
coat and then left the houses
Her mind was made up—she
would put up with his deceit no
longer—in future she would post
her letters herself.
