FRIENDS CELEBRATE HALLOWE'EN AT CARRS T » moat ai. cewrful function of its < ver field by the Friends Christian Endeavor was the Hallowe’en t^-cial •Id Tuesday at the hi • of George C rr on 63d avenue. Nearly fifty young juople passed through some weird ai l tiesh-creeping ordeals, beginning with the entrance through a ba- ment door guarded by “ghosts” and illuminated with “punkin” lanterns The l>est feature of the evening un doubtedly was the clever fortune telling of the Indian Squaw “Pennsochollun,” who, seated in her tepee in a dark cor ner made every one bow the knee humbly before her. The identity of the witch was successfully concealed until her part of the program was con cluded and she joined the merry-makers as Miss Estella Strand. As may be imagined with such a be ginning the fun was riotous and up roarious and the games continued until a late hour. A most satisfactory number was fur nished by still another trip to the base ment where a most delicious supper was served by the social committee, al though the way pumpkin pies mys teriously disappeared was nerve-racking. Much credit for an enjoyable evening is due Miss Minnie Mendenhall, chair man of the social committee and her associates. The evening closed with the singing of “When Love Shines In.” Walter Morton, infant child of Paul Storms, was buried Monday afternoon, the victim of cerebro meningitis. Death occurred on Friday evening previously. The funeral was held at the residence. G. H. Bateman Passes C. H. Bateman of Bellrose died early Thursday morning at hie home of fiver trouble. The funeral will be held at the residence near Bellrose on Saturday morning at 10 o’clock. Interment will be at Ixine Fir. Mr. Bateman was one of the most highly esteemed men of his neighbor hood and hie departure will be sadly felt by many friends.

Lewie, 60 on the ballot. The Herald has mentioned Mr. Lewis so often that it seems hardly necessary ■>ut will give thia parti z admonition. ; There is no better candidate in the race. He is the only farmer in the county running f >r otlice, and an ottice at that that can otter him nothing in the way of a salary ana no relamerá* tion except the opportunity to give good service. Lewis will do bis best and he is worthy of your votes. Making Electricity on the farm ..Many farms and ranches in Colorado are located near small streams and creeks from which electric power may be readily obtained; and at reasonable cost of development. These usually range from about 20 to .50 horsepower, appealing to the individual owner but not to corporate development. They are in the same class and involve the same simple principles of conservation as for irrigation. In fact, instances arise where both irrigation and electric power may be secured from the same stream. This is particularly favorable and it is a question which feature one is Justi fied in calling a by product, from the view of agricultural industry. Similarly, localities are found in the state where a community development ia not only possible, but desirable, for electric power as for irrigation. This has been so fully worked out that actual electric wkter-power plants are in very successful operation, without an attend ant. This represents great care and forethought of course, in the develop ment of the proposed electric plant. It has been made entirely possible by the necessity of meeting demands which are everywhere now satisfactorily bandied by automatic electric control. Merely to cite one instance, in the use of the electric oven, the farmer’s housewife enjoys the same exemption as the city dweller, in having simply to press the button and the electric clock and thermostat do the rest. Of course in this case she understands the value of the tireless cooking feature of the electric oven, after sufficient heat baa been obtained. But the principle remains true and is now applied to the most intricate modern machinery—ti remove from hand control all that mby be better done by electric control.—W. 8. Aid rich.
