Some member of the local clubs here will welcome the delegates to Ameyicus in the name of the women of the city, and it is likely that some of them will take part in the di; cussion. "In the convention at Waycn ss,” ■■aid secretary Greer, “the engineer .for the power company was saying that, the women did not use the power they already had for washing, cooking, ironing and so forth, when a lady arose and said, ‘no wonder, the price is so high we can scarcely use it for lighting our houses.’ The same engineers also said that it would be impractical to carry it into the country, as the transformers cost as much as nine hundred dol lars. He was asked that if one transformer would not do tor sev eral farm houses and if that would .not he much cheaper than the little local paints they were now buying. p- ' ■ 3: o (h k-M -b Ish 1 ..Lm.
