Priceless Service 
Despite fire or storm or flood, a telephone operator 
sticks to her switchboard. A lineman risks life and 
limb that his wires may continue to vibrate with mes¬ 
sages of business or social life. Other telephone em¬ 
ployees forego comfort and even sacrifice health that 
the job may not be slighted. 
True, the opportunity for these extremes of service 
has come to comparatively few; but they indicate the 
devotion to duty that prevails among the quarter-million 
telephone workers. 
The mass of people called the public has come to 
take this type of service for granted and to use the tele¬ 
phone in its daily business and in emergencies, seldom 
realizing what it receives in human devotion to duty 
and what vast resources are drawn upon to restore service. 
It is right that the public should receive this type of 
telephone service, that it should expect the employment 
of every practical improvement in the art, and should 
insist upon progress that keeps ahead of demand. Tele¬ 
phone users realize that dollars can never measure the 
value of many of their telephone calls. The public 
wants the service and, if it stops to think, cheerfully 
pays the moderate cost.

ENG I N E

There is no other farm engine 
like it. Simple in construction 
and easy to operate. It is only 
one engine, yet it takes the 
place of six engines. It will give 
from IK to 6 H. P., yet it is so 
light that two men can carry it 
easily. Set it anywhere and 
put it to work. 
Change Power 
as Needed 
It is a 6 H. P. when you need 
6, or IK H. P. when you need 
only IK. or any power in be¬ 
tween. Fuel consumption in 
proportion to power used and 
remarkably low at all times. 
Adjustment from one power to 
another is instantaneous. 
Barns Kerosene 
Operates with kerosene or gaso¬ 
line. Easy starting, no crank¬ 
ing. The greatest gas engine 
V 
value on the market. And you 
can prove all of these statements 
to your own satisfaction. 
What Users Say 
Ivan L. Blake, of Hannibal, 
New York, says: “Only engine 
economical for all jobs. I run a 
28-inch cord, wood saw, a 24- 
inch rip saw, a washer, a pump, 
and a grinder, and it sure runs 
them fine. It has perfect run¬ 
ning balance, and it sets quiet 
anywhere.” 
Clarence Rutledge, of Mani- 
toulan Island, Ontario, says: 
‘‘Have given my Edwards four 
years’ steady work and like it 
fine. It uses very little fuel. I 
run a 28-inch cord wood saw, 
also a rip saw, 8-inch gx -ider, 
ensilage cutter, line shaft for 
shop, churn, washer, separator 
and pump. Have had ten other 
engines and the Edwards beats 
them all.” 
Frank Foell, of Cologne, New 
Jersey, says: “It’sa great pleas¬ 
ure to own an Edwards engine.. 
I run a wood saw, cement mixer. 
threshing machine, etc. Do 
work for my neighbors. Easy 
to move around and easy to run. 
2 would not have any other.”

American Agriculturist, January 26, 
T HE leading event of the past week of 
national importance is the announce¬ 
ment that the Democratic National Con¬ 
vention will be held in New York City 
on June 24th. This ends great strife and 
bidding for this convention among several 
cities, the chief of which wer§ Chicago, 
San Francisco and New York. It will be 
held in Madison Square Garden, which 
will be enlarged to seat 20,000 delegates 
and visitors. This will be the first time 
that the convention has been held in 
New York since 1868. 
The Committee on Immigration of the 
House of Representatives has been busy 
drafting a new immigration bill. This 
bill is much more restrictive than is the 
present law. It favors the yearly ad¬ 
mission of but 2 per cent, of foreigners 
from each country in 1890, and it greatly 
cuts down the totals from southern 
European countries. 
* * 
Much interest is being aroused through¬ 
out the country by the campaign of 
Brig.-Gen. S. D. Butler, Commissioner 
of Public Safety in Philadelphia, to clean 
out bootlegging and vice from that city. 
General Butler was a commander of 
marines during the war, and has brought 
the same military spirit of efficiency into 
his office as safety commissioner. When 
he began, Philadelphia was nearly “wide 
open.” Within a very short time, all 
kinds of crooks found the atmosphere 
of that city decidedly unpleasant. 
During the severe gale reaching hurri¬ 
cane proportions that swept the entire 
Atlantic Coast on the night of Wednes¬ 
day, January 16th, the giant dirigible of 
the navy, the Shenandoah, formerly the 
ZR-1, was torn from her mooring mast at 
the Lakehurst, New Jersey, naval station. 
There was a skeleton crew on board under 
the command of Captain Heinen, zeppelin 
expert. 
When the ship broke loose her water 
ballast was dropped, the engine started 
immediately, and she was allowed to ride 
with the storm, with the result that the 
giant ship was soon under control. 
However, she was blown as far as Staten 
Island before it was possible to turn her 
about in the driving gale and head for 
home. The mooring mast was not dam¬ 
aged, but the metal nose cap on the ship 
used to hold her to the mast was com¬ 
pletely torn away. 
During the entire flight the crew on 
the ship and radio stations on the earth 
were in constant communication. This 
is the first time that the troubles of an 
airship in distress have been reported to 
peop 3 as they occurred. Thousands of 
radio fans listened to the messages sent 
out from the giant dirigible. After a 
nine-hour battle with the storm the 
Shenandoah was finally brought back and 
safely maneuvered into her hangar a little 
after four o’clock Thursday morning. 
ALBANY NOTES 
G overnor smith sent a special 
message to the State Legislature on 
January 14th calling attention to the 
appalling number of accidents with 
automobiles and asking that legislation 
be passed which would help to reduce 
such action. He made the special sug¬ 
gestion that every autoist in the State 
should have a state license and cited the 
Massachusetts Drivers License Act as 
an example of what can be accomplished. 
A report from Albany states that the 
Republicans have refused to accept 
Governor Smith’s plan of 25 per cent, 
tax reduction and have substituted in its 
place a plan calling for no tax reduction 
but a return of from 75 to 90 per cent, of 
the revenue from the localities from which 
it is derived. The State now gets 50 
per cent, and the localities 50 per cent, 
of such revenue.
