TIPS ON GETTING MORE WORK FROM ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

Says: 
Holloway Givens is cir- 
culating a petition against 
hard-surfacing Mill Creek 
highway because it will 
bring a lot of tourists 
through here, raise taxes 
by increasing the price of 
farm land and lead all the 
farmers to going in debt 
for trucks. 
Holloway Givens was 
also against the new water 
works, the electric light 
plant, the court house, and 
every other public expense 
in the past twenty years 
except the redemption 
fund for the old Northern 
railroad bonds, most of 
which he’d got hold of at 
eight cents on the dollar 
after the promoters blew 
up and failed to build the

“Fine until the minister 
asked the bride if she would 
obey her husband.” 
“What happened then?” 
‘She replied, ‘Do you think

replied, ‘I do’.”

With more than one-third of 
America’s farms electrified, 
electric power has become one 
of the busiest of farm hands. 
Here are some tips on more efh- 
cient ways to use electricity: 
Use one large lamp in place of 
several small ones whenever 
possible. A 100-watt bulb gives 
as much light, uses less current, 
and costs less than two 60-watt 
bulbs. 
Place good reading lamps so 
that two persons can use one 
lamp at the same time. 
Turn off all lights not in use. 
If a night light is necessary for 
children or in sick-rooms, try a 
tiny lamp which uses only a six 
or seven watt bulb. 
Defrost the electric refriger- 
ator regularly. Whenever the 
coating of frost on the unit 
becomes more than one-fourth 
inch thick, the refrigerator runs 
too much. 
Check the refrigerator door 
to see that it fits tightly. 
Do not crowd the refrigerator 
too full. Overloading keeps the 
cold air from circulating prop- 
erly. 
Do not keep the refrigerator 
door open any longer than 
necessary. 
If you have an electric range, 
turn the current off a short 
time before the food is done. 
Use flat-bottomed pans large 
enough to cover the units of an 
electric range. 
When heating up an-electric 
oven or roaster, use it to capac- 
ity but avoid overcrowding. 
Be careful not to overload 
your electric washer. 
If you have an individual 
water system, keep _ leaky 
faucets repaired, or the pump 
will run overtime. 
Use all appliances according 
to manufacturers’ instructions. 
If the wiring in your home is 
old or there are too few outlets, 
have it checked by an electri- 
cian. Too small wires or over- 
loading of a circuit will cut 
down on the efficiency of appli- 
ances and make operating cost 
higher. 

States that lead in producing 
cheese are Wisconsin, Illinois,

ume are Wisconsin, Ohio, Cali-
