Be it further RESOLVED, That we sincerely condole with the family of the deceased on the dispensation with which it has pleased Divine Providence to afflict them, and commend them for consolation to Him who orders all things for the'best, and whose chastisements are meant in mercy. Be it further RESOLVED, That this heartfelt testimonial of our sympathy and sorrow be forwarded to the husband of our departed Neighbor by the recorder of Riverview Camp 6818, R .N. of A. Varina M. Marshall Frances Vyeital "V*.Alice Beavis Mew York.--Providing electricity for a large city is not exactly • simile task. The casual observer may easily come to the conclusion that all there Is to the task is to have a large enough power bouse, and that the steam produced shnli he used to torn the dynamos which generate electric current. And then, as is so well k'.awn, the current will Sow along the various "circuits and be used by 1 the consumers. And in theory it is all Just about as simple fcs that In practice t history is quite * btt moire complicated: Company Prepares Chart. Only as much electricity can be used as is generated, and It is bad business to generate more than la needed. Yet there are millions of push buttons that can be used by consumers at will to make any sort of an electrical demand on the system. It Is a fact that If all consumers were suddenly and unexpectedly to throw every motor, every toaster, every vacuum cleaner, and every electric light on a! once serious trouble would be experienced. The company is prepared for ail ordinary fluctuations in electrical demand and tries to make provision for every unusual demand. Suppose a severe storm arises at noon and all the offices in the city suddenly turn on the lights. A huge sudden and unusual demand for current is created. But the operating staff has known about the coming of the storm and the spoilers are producing steam vigorously and the spare dynamos are spinning madly so that when the lights are actually turned on no difficulties arise. Each day the variation In electrical load Is carefully charted and the operating staff has learned to know what to expect each hour of the day. every day of the year, and what to expect when unasual conditions occur. such as a storm during the daytime. The New York Edison company made a <UBly chart for each day last year and an observer can analyze this chart to learn the secret^ of the New York homes. When do these New Yorkers get up? Do they get m> earlier than the folks Id smaller town! or later? When do they swing their Mttallons of toasters into service to mve the day its proper beginning? f In Bed at Midnight Let us go back to midnight. The light total la obviously low; most people are already asleep and have been for two hours. By 1:90 a. m. the darkness and quiet haA Increased greatly. By four o'clock everybody except a tpw of the p0rmaMnt'«|K dodgers has retired. At five In the morning all the city Is asleep. Along toward els e'doek the city begins to awake. Between eight and hlM fvenrthlns Is in full blast During the noen hour there la a drop in demand as factories and workshops turn off their machines. Immediately after lunch the demand on the electric system begins increasing and reaches Its crest at five. Then as work ceases the demand for current decreases rapidly in spite of the lights which c^re being turued on every^where. The demand decreases sharply at 9:30 o'clock and continues decreasing until midnight and on until four or five in the morning, when the next day begliis. Saturdays, Sunday* and holidays show special forms of load curves. Winter and summer show their differences. Bright days differ from dull days In their requirements. The demand never ceases. Day or night winter and summer, there is some curlent being used all the time. 28, ladiaa* Up to Data.'

"The destruction of the universe would end the scientists, but would be a triumph for science," Kaempffert continued. The ultimate triumph for science 1 The story has a happy ending, too. In blowing hp 'he atom and the universe, knowledge may be gained as to how to build up the atom. Thus the ancient dream of transmuting leatd Into gold might be realised If it were not for that accident putting aH the scientists out of commission. K Is said that in normal times the United States usee about 690,000 000 pounds of wool, exclusive of carpet wool. Of that amount about 300.000.- 000 pounds are produced at home. The remainder is imported. Wool is one of the few Important raw materials for which we are at al! de pendent on other lands, for there are certain fine fabrics that are Improved by making them of a mixture of do mestic wools with varieties not grown i» this country and that will not be grown here. Therefore It will never be advisable to cease importing these varieties. That, however. Is an unimportant matter. It would be greatly to our advantage to increase largely the domestic wool crop by raising more sheep. In the event of a war that should cut us off from a foreign supply there is scarcely any article a full supply of which would be more Important than home-grown wool, nor Is there any article of which it l* easier to Increase the "home production. All that Is needed Is pasture land. ' r A dollar savCTtfc' a dollar earned. j! 1 ' >XBSONALS Mrs. E. G/ Peterson and son. Bob, spent Sunday with relatives in Chicago. Mrs. P. H.
