ELECTRIC DEVELOPMENT IN
THE FUTURE
The field for future development of
the electric industry is so great that
-capital investment in utilities is ex
pected to increase by a third within
five years, according to a survey made
by Bonhright and company.
Six outstanding reasons for poten
tial growth are given. About one-third
of the population still lives in un
lighted homes, and more than half of
wired homes contain no electric labor
saving devices, except flatirons. The
average home, when completely equip
ped with electric service, will con
same ten to twenty times as much
juice as at present.
More than 90 per cent of American
farms are not yet served with elec
tricity, and but half of oqy industrial
power requirements are met by the
utilities. In recent years factories
have been consuming a steadily in
creasing amount of electric power.
But two per cent of our railway
mileage is electrified, with great proj
ects announced for the future. We
have hardly begun lighting highways
and airways.
The developments of the future bave
been charted and begun. Farm and
railroad electrification have proven
practical and economical. More and
more homes are being adequately wjr
ed and equipped with electrie appli
ances. The amount of power within
the command of each industrial work
er steadily increase. The electrical age,
that has revolutionized domestic and
economic life, goes on with increasing
momentum.
DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE
(From the Walton Tribune)
The Tribune desires to place all
ral organizations on notice that in the
future it will give no free publicity to
any entertainment, no matter in what
name nor for what cause given, where
admission is charged, and any outside
parties are to share in the proceeds.
We are referring specifically to
Monroe organizations, and everything
from the churches and schools to the
c-ivic. patriotic and social societies are
Included.
We will go our full length in boost
ing either of them or any affair sixrn
sored by either of them, but we will
draw the line whenever and wherever
any outside person is financially con
«*erned and is using the local organiza
tion to put money in his own pockets.
Last Friday evening the people of
Monroe patronized an entertainment
for which the programs, the posters
and other printing was done outside
of Monroe.
This was no fault of the splendid
organization sponsoring the entertain
ment nor of the very excellent lady
at its head; she understood, that what
printing was to he done would natur
ally he given to the printing offices
in Monroe. And she felt outraged when
she learned the facts in the case.
One of the men in charge did sub
mit one of the jobs to both printing
offices, but finding himself unable to
hammer them down below a living
price, he walked out of their shops and
carried the work to another town.
The fact that the printing had been
taken away from Monroe was known
to The Tribune beforts its last issue
went to press, but it went ahead and
gave a long free notice regarding the
entertainment, despite the treatment
that had been accorded it.
In other words, says Editor Camp.
“G(et your publicity where you get
your printing.” That’s fair enough.

I it 5 Million
Homes Tonight
A host of babies will enjoy sound sleep
tonight. And their parents will have
unbroken rest. Castoria is the cause of
this contentment in a multitude of
homes.
Good old Castoria! Children cry for
it. Mothers swear by it. Not a house
hold where there is an infant should
ever be without it. A few drops of Cas
toria quiet Baby in a perfectly innocent
manner. It is natural slumber that fol
lows. Castoria is a purely vegetable
product. No opiates. No narcotics. Of
any kind.
Now you know why trained nurses
give Castoria as often as an infant is
ailing, or even restless. Ajid why doctors
tell mothers it is the first and oniy
home remedy when Baby has constipa
tion, colic, diarrhea, or other upset. It
is made for babies, and safe to give
babies, and other things are not.
Fletcher’s Castoria is “oid-fashioned”
if you count its fifty years, but it’s an
old-fashioned mother, nowadays, who
worries along without it. Twenty-five
million bottles bought last year! Think
of the number of mothers who rely on
Castoria! All these mothers can’t be
wrong! To keep a bottle in the house
is a precaution you owe your little one.
