Pack, emphasized the fact that in oraer to bring about rural electrification on any appreciable scale, both the power companies and the farmer will have to look on the farm as a factory and apply electricity in a multiplicity of ways to increase output and cut labor costs the same as it has been done in the city factories. He pointed out that it is an economic impos­ sibility to deliver small amounts of electric energy to scattered farms at a reasonable price and that failure of most rural lines in the past has been due to farmers limiting use of electricity io lighting. “ It is up to agricultural colleges, manufactur­ ers of both electrical equipment and farm imple­ ments and last, but most important of all, the farmers themselves, to cooperate with the power companies iu bringing about rural electrification,” he said. ♦‘Experimental lines in twenty states built by power companies have shown that there are more than a hundred practical ways for use of electricity on the farm. “ Nine-tenths of the cost of bringing electricity to the farm is in distribution and farmers should not be fooled by those who talk about developing water power as an aid to bringing electricity to the farm. If electricity could be produced for nothing it would have little effect on the cost of service to the farm­ er, for the costs of distribution greatly outweigh those incurred by generation of electric energy.” More Hokum Congress, in response to a noisy appeal, has passed an act barring pistols from the mails. There is now no way in which they can be shipped except by express, automobile, airplane, ship or other con­ veyance not employed by the United States poet- office. Thus the heinous mail order traffic in re- rolvers has been stopped and sellers of’ these fire­ arms are compelled to adopt’ the more innocent .method of express, automobile, airplane, ship, etc., delivery. \ There are a few exceptions noted in the bill, however. Revolvers can still be sent by mail to manufacturers of firearms who are thus able to repair them and return them to their owners by eyyess, airplane, etc., etc. They can also be sent through the m ails1 to bona fide dealers, who can sell them over the counter to anyone who has a permit to carry a gun. Thns the terrible business of selling revolvers to all but about 110,000,000 of our citizens has received a check. Congress had before it a bill introduced by Rep. McLeod of Detroit which aimed to prevent shipment of revolvers to interstate traffic. This measure might have had a sad effect on gunmen in states that possessed no plant capable of assembling a revolver, but the bill was not considered. The bill which congress did pass does not go into effect until ninety days have expired. Gunmen are notoriously thriftless and will probably make no effort to stock up during this period. Perhaps, however, they figure there are various ways of get­ ting weapons iu spite of the act. They will find, however, except by express, automobile, airplane, ship, etc., etc., or by purchase from a bona fid« dealer. A*T t o * Offe? I o»o»¿r sfpo GCT -IU a T • raabsw t ?
