THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 10«, New Invention Expands, Deflates Dresses to Fit USE OF POWER AIDS FARMERS Electrical Energy Provides Cheap Chore Boy. By I. P. BLAUSER Farm boys who reluctantly turn a fanning mill to clean grain probably will feel no better about that task when they hear that tests by agri cultural engineers at Ohio State uni versity indicate that five cents worth of electrical power will operate a mill long enough to clean 100 bushels of grain. Boy-power on the fanning mill would be worth only a fraction of a cent an hour when compared with the expense of electrical energy. Rural homemakers also would fall into the low-wage class when doing the family washing because another five cents worth of electricity will turn out a big washing. Father places himself in the coolie class every time he milks the cows, because five cents worth of electric ity will operate a milker while milking 20 cows. That would make the farm er milk four cows by hand for a cent. Most farmers would concede two or three cents an hour is a rather low wage for effort ex pended after a hard day in the fields. The servant that rides the power wires also will do other onerous farm tasks for five cents. Included in the nickel class are such jobs as turning a grind stone three hours, mixing two tons of feed, grinding 100 to 1,000 pounds of grain, shear ing 75 sheep, pumping 1,000 gallons of water, churning 100 pounds of butter, or washing 2,000 milk bot tles. All these tasks can be done with power delivered through elec tric motors, as well as an additional 190 jobs which may cost more for power. Motors, ranging in size from one- sixtieth to seven and one-half horse power are adapted for farm uses. Most power companies forbid the use of larger motors on rural lines. Prices on quarter-horse power mo tors may range from $6 to $18, de pending on the type. The size of the motor to use, of course, depends on the size of the task to be done. , Household tasks and many, farm chores fall within the province of the small inexpen sive motors. Real work such as running a silage cutter requres sizes toward the upper limit per mitted on rural lines. Land, Labor Are Saved By Good Farm Layout Labor efficiency has always been the keynote of American agricul ture. American farmers have wast ed land, but they have harvested a larger yield to the worker, or to the unit-of-labor, than any other farm ers in the world. They have economized in labor, which was scarce, and have wasted land, which was plentiful. The future problems of American farm ers include a better use of land, a greater intensity of cultivat on. and, at the same time, the rra n- tenance of a high productivity of the individual worker. A well-planned farm layout offers one means of saving land and labor A good farm layout should provide not only an efficient field arrange ment, but also a well-planned farm stead, econoirrcal fences, conven ient lanes and driveways, and the most profitable use of land. These are statements of Prof. W I. Myers, head of the department of agricultural economics at Cornell university. Many New York farms of today need rearranging, he says, because of changes in agricultural conditions, the use i f more machin ery, the need for larger and less irregular fields, and similar require ments.

PAGE FIVE THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON. OREGON. When a lady gets her dress back from the cleaners, and finds—she says—that it has shrunk three inches, she’s mad. And when she goes to the cleaner and asks him to pay for it, he’s mad. And the first thing you know, half the population is mad with the other half, and the country is ripe for a revolution. But this won’t happen any more if the invention of a Seattle man clicks. W. R. Frentzel has invented a machine which will restore mi lady’s dress exactly to its original form. And a Seattle company thinks it is so good that it is ready to em bark on quantity production. According to the inventor, no mat ter what the woman’s figure, the machine will simulate it. In dem onstrating the device recently, he claims, he ran a 14-size dress through all the paces, from size 14 to size 20 and back to size 12. He made it wide across the waist—he made it narrow across the shoulders—he took it well down near the calf—and then ran it back to the knees. Frentzel’s invention is a compli cated assemblage of rods, springs and gears with more give than a flivver. It can be expanded and de flated—a twist of a lever here, the setting of a gauge there and presto —the dress is not only shaped but pressed in the same operation. Dress shops, cleaners and dyers, who have seen the machine in op eration say that it is the biggest thing in the women’s apparel clean ing industry since the invention of woman herself. A factory has been installed and soon the machines are expected to be moving along the pro duction line at a rapid pace. Government Using Fewer Words; Cutting Expenses Americans are the greatest self improvers on earth. A new job in Washington—that of “correspondence counselor” in the agriculture department has been created. The title is new, rather; for three years James F. Grady has been helping the Farm Credit ad ministration streamline its letters. Right now Grady is meeting once a week with soil conservation offi cials, helping them conserve words in their letters. Grady believes that far too many words are wasted in the average government letter—and business letters, too, for that mat ter. “Hoopskirt” and “stuffed shirt” expressions, he calls them. Expres sions such as, “ You are advised that congress has specified,” or, “As per statement attached hereto.” The average government letter, it is estimated, costs 75 cents to pro duce. Grady says that by eliminat ing useless verbiage, letters can be shortened by from 30 to 60 per cent So you can see how much the conser vation officials, under his tutelage, can conserve. Grady’s six tests of a “satisfactory” letter are whether it is “clear, concise, complete, cor rect, appropriate in tone, neat and well set up.” CANNING SCHEDULE Meat will be canned Friday morn ing, February 7.

Willis Burchet. 24-3p When a politician announces his intention to run for office, he “throws his hat into the ring,” the pluase being a figurative one first popularized by Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, but its origins go back much further than that. It is a variation of the old literal “gage of battle," a practice of other centuries when a man invited physical combat by throwing some article on the ground as a challenge to be picked up by an opponent. The word “ gage” is defined as a pledge made by a per son to fight in support of his prin ciples. In olden days, the gage was usually a glove or cap. In America in the last century, it was common for the strong-arm village sport or bully to challenge all comers to a boxing or wrestling bout by staking out a ring on the ground and daring anybody to toss a hat in. If any man accepted, he would literally toss in his hat, and the fight would be on. A similar custom is said to exist even to this day in certain parts of Great Britain.
