' Ball Bearing: Long Wearing The success of the L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriters has been due- to the fact that the wants of the user have dictated its construction. The user has decided in favor of certain . improvements now incorporated in Model 8. Among them are': . Silence of Operation The most silent running efficient typewriter ever placed on the market. Absolute silence has been very nearly attained, -"-itnu-w! ; Decimal Tabulator A help in hitting and tabulating. ' There is no extra charge for this convenience. ' t Variable Line Spacer Enables the operator to start on a given line and space from point of starting ; also to write on ruled lines whose spacing varies from typewriter spac ing. A great help in card work. Faster Ribbon Feed Insures new place of impact for each typeface. . . : " , , Choice of Carriage Return Upon special order the new left hand carriage return will be furnished in place of the right hand return. All the important features of previous models have been retained ball bearing carriage, typebars and capital shift, back spacer, key-controlled ribbon, removable platen, protected type, flexible paper feed and automatic ribbon reverse. - Write for New Caulog of Model 8.

Use of electricity on the farm for the sake of convenience, safety or comfort is urged by G. G. McNair, instructor in electrical engineering in the Kansas State Agricultural College. "Twelve years ago farm lighting plants were a novelty; today they are rapidly growing in popularity," says Mr. McNair. "They are usually operated by a gasoline engine, but in the Eastern States, and especially in the Appa lachian mountains, it is not uncom mon to see . water power used for this purpose. Where the people have water power the storage battery is not used. ' "In every State where farmers care at all for convenience one will find a number of lighting plants. Some farmers prefer the blaugas, actylene or gasoline lighting systems, so that they might utilize the heat, but there is a certain element of danger in us ing these systems. "Plants, including engine, - gm erator, battery and switchboard, can be bought for $134 up. Such plants are of very small capacity, will oper ate only a few lights and must bo charged every day."
