BOONE POWER TO BE READY 1 ABOUT FEB. 1 First Five Miles of Rural Electric Program to Be Completed Then. BY ARCH STEINEL Times Staff Writer LEBANON, Ind., Jan. 10.—Electric current to permit irons to skim swiftly over the blue jeans of Boone County farmers, to operate laborsaving water pumps and to perform every task that city folk take for granted will be tumeS on. early in February. A creosoted utility pole standing today at the intersection of Lebanon and Noble-sts, in South Lebanon, heralds electrification of this county's farms as the first in Indiana to become “city-fied.” Dedicatory exercises under auspices of the Indiana Rural Electric Membership Corp. were held yesterday afternoon at the site of the first pole and in the high school auditorium. Prepare for Extra Load Today the Public Service Cos. of Indiana began equipping its Lebanon substation with transformers and switches to care for the increased load. The A. A. Electric Cos., Cicero, 111., began bringing in poles and supplies for the first five miles of the line. The first cables are to be strung from farmhouse to farmhouse, on State Road 32, west of Lebanon. With completion of the first five miles, the current is to be turned on. The first 161 miles of the JB7 miles to be electrified will be ready by May 1. Salesmen Invade County The demand for immediate use of the power brought electric appliance salesmen flocking to Boone County to sell washers, water systems, toasters. Some radio and electrical equipment firms resorted to oldtime “door-to-door” peddling. Rates submitted to tho Public Service Commission call for a minimum rate of $1.50 monthly with a scale that will permit electrification of barns, homes and farm equipment at a ’cost not to exceed $8 monthly. The kilowatt hour rate will be less than that paid by Marion County suburban residents, electrical engineers say. Speech Is Broadcast Dedication speech of Morris L. Cooke, Washington administrator of the Rural Electrification Administrator, was carried over a radio network yesterday. After the exercises farmers in the lobby of the Boone County Courthouse discussed informally the far-reaching effects of the project. "Electricity will add $25 an acre to the value of my farm,” vouched a bewhiskererl and weather-beaten veteran of the piow. "Yep,” spoke up another. “And it’s going to mean I’ll use the juice to grind my own feed, get rid of my battery radio, give my wife that electric washer she’s been wanting, raise my chicks by electricity instead of coal oil. Maybe I can install a bathroom.” Agree on Benefits Republicans and Democrats joined in declaring that the $567,000 Federal grant for the project eventually will send more people back to the larms and prove a boon to farmwife as well farmer. Those on the dedicatory program as the first post-hole was dug included James K. Mason, president of the Indiana REMC; Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend; I. H. Hull, general manager of the Indiana Farm Bureau Co-operative Association; Mr. Cooke; The Rev. Eilis Cowley of Thorntown; Mayor Carl Dale, Lebanon, and the Thorntown High School Band. The pioneer mother was represented by Mrs. Eliza Routh, of Dover, 92, who knitted beside a lighted candle at the rites in the high school auditorium.

Follow This Plan for Better CONTROL 4 COLDS

For Fewer Colds .. S Vicks Va-tro-nol helps 11 Prevent many Colds At the first warning nasal irritation, sniffle or sneeze, use Vicks Va-tro-nol—just a few drops up each nostril. Va-tro-nol is especially designed for the nose and upper throat —where most colds start. It stimulates Nature’s own functions —in the nose —to help prevent colds, and to throw off head colds in their early stages. Used in time, Va-tro-nol helps avoid many colds.

Developed by Vicks Chemists and Medical Staff; tested in extensive clinics by practicing physicians—further proved in everyday home use by millions.

six-year term on the Morgan County bench expires Jan. 1, 1937, announced today that he will not seek re-election. Beyond expressing a desire to resume the practice of law, the judge declined to explain his decision.

For Shorter Colds .. Ik Vicks Vapoßub helps J End a Cold Sooner If a cold has developed, rub Vicks Vapoßub on throat and chest at bedtime. Vapoßub acts direct —two ways at once: (1) By stimulation through the skin like a poultice or plaster; (2) By inhalation of its medicated vapors direct to inflamed air-passages. Through the night, this combined vapor-poultice action loosens phlegm, soothes irritation, helps break congestion.
