ELECTRICAL ACHIEVEMENTS.

(.'nr Great Advances in Devices of liar .and l’eace Thai Were Made During i«n.J. Each year sees a remarkable development in the electrical industry, and though the European war has made progress along these lines, an impossibility in most of the countries on the other side of the ocean during the past year, nevertheless 1915 has contributed its share toward electrical advancement in this country. ' Though much of the elect rival apparatus in use at. the present time has reached such a high state of development that there is little room for improvement and marked advance except by radical invention, new appliances are being found all the time for electrical power, and it is along this line that the development during 3 915 is’ noteworthy. Perhaps the greatest progress of the year has been made in the electrification of railroads. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad On October 1 completed the electrification of the first 113 miles 0 f the Montana division,' from Three Forks to Deer Lodge, Mont., and in addition another 100 miles was put in operation on Jan. 1, 1916. It is

planned to electrify another 200 miles during the present year, and it is expected ultimately that the entire 850 miles from Harlowton to the coast will be operated by electricity. * The New York, New Haven and Hartford the Pennsylvania, the Norfolk and Western, the New York Central and the Anaconda and Butte are other railroads which have extended their electrification during the year or have inaugurated the reform, so that today there has been electrified over 2,500 miles of single track of steam railroads in the United States. An electrically operated brake has been put in service during the year on separate units of a train, and has made much more rapid stopping possible than could heretofore be accomplished by means of the old air brakes. This development, it is said, will add materially to the safety and economy of railroad operation, as previously much valuable time was lost, in putting on the brakes, in communicating the impulse by means of the air brake from the engine to the different cars of a long train. ! In the field of wireless development much has been achieved during 1915. Uninterrupted communication has been carried on beteewn Tuckerton, N. J., or Sayville, L. 1.. and stations in Germany, and nies- ’ sages have been transmitted between the Eiffel tower in Paris and Washington, while wireless telephone .communication between the Atlantic' coast cities and San Francisco was commercially established. The wire-' less telephones has been successfully operated on moving trains of the’ Lackawanna railroad, and will not only be a convenience to the public hut will be eventually used in sig- 1 nal work on freight trains to avoid 1 the necessity of stopping for orders. This will mean a material saving to the railroad companies, as each unnecessary stop of a long freight train means a loss to the company of be-1 tween S2O and S3O. On Sept. 30, T 9.15, the human voice was successfully transmitted by wireless telephony between Wash-' ington and Pearl Harbor. Hawaii, a ' distance of 4,600 miles, a test which served to show the infinite possi-. bilities in this branch of the service. 1 One of Europe's greatest electrical achievements during the year is the 1 (development of wireless signalling from aeroplanes, which has made! scouting in the European war in this way an effective means of locating 1

World’s Champion Corn Grower. DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR. At the State-Wide Primary, March 7, 1916. HEADQUARTERS: Rooms 207 and 208, English Hotel, Indianapolis, Indiana

WHO IS HE? For thirty years he - has been a successful grower and exhibitor of corn lie won highest honors in World's -Shows at Paris, St Louis, Chicago and Omaha. The New England states had him as manager of their Agricultural Exhibit at Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1911. It was a marked success. A European nation wanted his services. A writer from Australia calls him "the Burbank of Agriculture.” No man of the United States has ever received such national and international recognition in this line of important work. .He has proven himself a champion of the people's interests in public gs fairs. He was a member of the Indi ana General Assemblies of 1909 and 1911. He manifested a right publicattitude by voting la favor of impor-

enemy troops and batteries, and has done much toward revolutionizing modem warfare. Progress has also been made during the year in the use of electricity for navigation. The battleship California, the keel of which was recently laid in the New York navy yard, will be the first electrically driven battleship built, and it is claimed that the big advantage in the new power will lie in the great saving in both weight and space, amounting to 40 per cent, when compared to the oil style of reciprocating engines. The purification or sterilization of milk and water electrically is also new, and is an important step in the progress of the industry. A dairy company not far from New York is now operating a machine which purifies 1,000 quarts per hour, the treatment completely destroying disease carrying organisms without affecting the digestive and nutritive quality of the milk. This deVice, it is said, will mean a great saving in time and money.—New York Commercial.

The Legend of Evil.

This Is the sorrowful story Told when the twilight fails And the monkeys walk together Holding eacii other's tails. "Our fathers lived in the forest. Foolish people were they. They went down to the cornland To teach the farmers to play. Our fathers frisked in the millet. Our father? skipped in the wheat. Our father? hung from the branches, Our fathers danced in the street. "Then came the terrible farmers Nothing of play they knew. Only—they caught bur fathers \nd set them to labor, too! "Set them to work in the cornland. With ploughs and sickles and flails, Put them in mud-walled prisons And—cut off their beautiful tails! Now we can watch our fathers. Sullen and bowed and old; Stooping over the millet Snaring the silly mould. "Driving a foolish furrow. Mending a muddy yoke, Sleeping in mud-walled prisons. Steeping their food in smoke. "We may not speak to our fathers For if the farmers knew They would come up to the forest And set us to labor, too!” This is tlfr horrible story Told as the twilight fails And the monkeys walk together Holding each other’s tails. —Rudyard Kipling.

taut measures which meant better citizenship and by voting against those which did not. His record met the approval of organized labor. He showed himself to have an open mind when considering legislative measures He made a state-wide reputation as a man of sterling character and moral courage. His legislative record is conclusive evidence that he has not been, is not now, and will not bo controlled .by any machine. He be lieves that public sentiment is in favor of real Democracy and that public sentiment is' opposed to “Bossocracy.” THE PARTY WILL BE STRENGTHENED BY THE NOMINATION OP A MAN OF PRINCIPLE WHO IS SUPPORTED BY PUBLIC SENTIMENT. CHORE IS “THE MAN OP THE HOUR." CLORE CAN BE ELECTED. - —Advertisement.
