parties—when they have time, hey may listen to battery radio* —when they have time. They may lead the latest fashion magazines and farm perlodicals-when they have time. The NRA meant nothing to them because it did not permit their husbands to take enough wives to put each of them on an eight hour day. But the picture isn't as dark as it seems for there is a magic, word which will perform more miracles than Scheherazade ever dreamed of when she told the story of "Aladdin" to the Sultan of the Indies. The word is "electricity." The jinni of today will pump water, sweep floors, wash dishes and clothes; fill bath tubs and troughs, heat irons, stoves and operate iron ers, turn motors which operate cream separators, feed grinders, lathes, hammer mills, saw mill, through radios, it will pull music from the air, and it will even warm beds. But, unfortunately, the number of farm homes Which have access to or use to any appreciable extent this magic are far in the minority. Why? To answer this 'lon and in view of the curt er merest in the l “Rural Electri ion Act” pro- j gram being need by the government, t' .iter made a survey of A<’. county. For * uke of conformity the surv is conducted among the Hird .stomers of tho Decatur pal Electric Light and Power impany. Some of the homes ited have used this system since 1919. The writer also made use of the city's list of potential customers. From these potential customers it was learned that the majority of the farmers want electricity. However. the development of rural lines began shortly after the war. Two years later the farmers were in the throes of an agricultural depression from which they arc just beginning to emerge. Consequently they were compelled to conserve what little cash they had to pay interest and debts. Nevertheless, th® city has built 78 miles of rural lines. At the city hall it was learned that many farmers have never exceeded their minimum charges. The average bill is only $1.25 to $1.50 a month. The names of several customers were classified as to large, small and medium users. The writer then visited them to discover first hand the use being made of electricity on the farm. First of all, the survey revealed that the farm wife is the great user of electricity which is freeing her from the bondages of the centuries. Almost invariably the first investments in electrical appliances have been for the homes, refuting the old claiifi that "farmers will spend thousands of dollars to build and equip their barns and out buildings while permitting their wives to live in hovels." I In almost every instance the first, step in the use of electricity has been the lighting of the houses—then the barns. This is the only use made by some customers. 1 The next investments are usually washing machines, electric irons and electric sweepers. Next, in the line of major investments, are pumps to furnish running water in ihe houses and often to the barns. About this time the old battery radio is replaced with a new electricl set. During this time a number of minor appliances usually have Iteen purchased, such as toasters, curling irons, electric fans. etc. 1 Then it is that the farmers begin to think of appliances tor themselves. I’ortahle motors are purchased which may be used for a variety of purposes. Electric cream separators, incubators and milkers are purchased. Lights are used to provide longer working days for the chickens and cows. Feed grinders and hammer mills are installed. I Some farms have electric refrigerators to keep the families food as well as the cream ami < ggs cool None were found who used electricity to heat their houses. | It should be understood that none of the farmers have all the electrical appliances listed, although there arc a few who were visited who had and used the majority of them- ' Thus far the survey was easy. When it came to the question as t 0 why more electricity was not used the answers were more vnrled and less conclusive. Many farmers, perhaps correct1v but at least in the absence of accurate figures, believe that upIlliijn ,.,.a heated or operated by gasoline or a, voseiie arc cheaper Ilian those using electricity, Due tors have been used to an extent, o provide heavy power. The low minimum of kilowatts ver month required of users of the DccatUl me do not compel the heavy use □Tcorrent as do rates with miniruunw several times higher on othcr commercial lines. All ofthis I. jUs to the coiicluuiou that farm' era are not “sold" on the idea of complete cTbctriiication. Perhaps the most important ,dea‘gleaned from the farmers was xnressed in the statement of one. .-/bought a new motor this year II times heep ou Ulie tins I "Hl [i" U v aiiotlter next year." ReturnluK prosperity will see a great ud-

vance in the use of rural electric- - ity. Appendix In thia essay, which I am submitting In answer to the type three group. 1 have attempted to show the progress and development of electricity among the farmers in Adams county only, To better illustrate my essay I am enclosing font- photographs taken during the survey. They are typical of tho uses being made of tide new development. The light useq to take these pictures was obtained from the farm electric light systems.

.quick pictures of Jon and then 1 fled. The new glare of publicity on the Lindbergh case with Huuptmann’s approaching execution and public discussion of tho case by Gov. Harold Hoffmaji of New Jersey and others also contributed to the Lisdbergh’s decision to i make a new home in England. United States and British gov-' eminent officials as well us steam-; ship operators cooperated with Lindbergh in keeping their depar-1 ture secret until today. Only a few closest members of the family sa.w them off ou the comparatively small ship, which sailed from a Hudson river pier early Sunday morning. Other members of the family knew the | Lindberghs were going abroad, | but thought it was only for a visit! and not to live indefinitely. The American Importer, of the. 1 American Merchant line, is due ■ at tosh, Ireland, Dec. 29, at Liv- 1 erpool, England. Dec. 30. and Manchester on New Year’s Eve.

Thus with the New Year the i Lindberghs will begin their new life, in a country which they! chose because they believe its' people aro the most law abiding in the world. Where in England they plan to settle down was not known. j ChrisHnati day will find the ' famous filer and his fagnily in i its way slowly across the same j mid-Atlantic on a steamer making 1 ocean over which he flew to fame, and consequent unwelcome publicity, in 1927. Their only companions on the voyage of self-im- j posed exile are the officers of the American Importer. But the loneliness of their voyage wins in complete keeping with its object—peace and isolation. Bobo U. B. Church Plans For Program The Christmas entertainment of the Bobo U.
