alfa and 8 for timothy. With a fair
ly active demand for hay It is ex
pected that a considerable part of the
new crop from this county may find
markets outside. Many of the larger

places was a week or ton days later

the first crops have been cleaned up
and the second crops coming ulong
nicely. Irrigation water Is fairly
plentiful in most parts yet, which
should practically Insure a normal
second crop. Farmers In the dry
farming areas have anticipated higher
hay prices this full and have arranged
to put up the meat of their hay
needs from crops grown on tho farms,

LINCOLN had been dead many years . . . the
world vaa waiting for another Emancipator.
To millions 6f women', slaving over wash-boards,
goose-irons, floor-scrubbing and lamp cleaning,
the i;esponsibilities of house-keeping meant the
loss of leisure, of youth . , t of beauty . . . of
health itself.
Today's housewife is a woman of affairs with
time to devote to needful physical and mental
recreation. Not one man ... . .. but a score of in
ventors, aided by hundreds of engineers . . . have
declared her 'henceforth and forever free." Elec
tricity has liberated womankind!
The humblest home can today afford the con
venience of electrical servants. Tasks, once back
breaking, are accomplished" easily. Electric
washers, irons, vacuum .cleaners, .ranges and
heaters are within .everyone's reach. The cur
rent to run them flows from your wall-plug
at the lowest .cost in historv.
The woman of moderate means to
day has time lo devote to reading,
beauty-culture, hobbies and social
service work; time that in her own
mother's day was filled with ardu
ous tasks.
