Electricity Everywhere; Difficult to Define YOUR PROTECTION is our JOB! “What is electricity?” is often asked of the scientists in General Electric’s research laboratory, pop ularly known as the “House of Mag ic.” L. A. Hawkins, executive engi neer of the laboratory, has an an swer, although he says whether an answer is possible depends on the kind of definition desired. "For instance, the question ‘What is water?’ may be answered in three different ways,” explains Mr. Haw kins, whose company for the past 65 years has been applying elec tricity to everything from a minia ture light bulb slightly larger than a pinhead to a mammoth 208,000- kilowatt turbine in a power station. “First, we may define water by its composition ; second, by its source or occurrence, and third, by its properties, its boiling and freez ing points, its density, its action as a solvent, its part in maintaining life. etc. “But when we come to electricity, we find only one kind of definition is possible, because electricity is the most fundamental thing in the universe and is the thing of which everything else is made. Electricity cannot be defined by its composi tion, for it is composed only of it self. Neither can it be defined by its source or occurrence, for it is everywhere, wherever there is mat ter or radiant energy. “Therefore, electricity can be de fined only in the third way, by its properties—and to describe these properties adequately requires a book or several books.” You never really know the value of adequate automobile insurance until "after the accident". If an accident strikes, your Fanners policy* goes swiftly and surely to work—assumes your financial loss—protects your interests. Safeguard your auto and without insurance. your possessions.

LEE’S SHOE SHOP A. C. McINTYRE. Attorney 123 S. E. Court — Pendleton for Plaintiff. Post Office Ad- dress, Pendleton. Oregon. I (Aug. 3-31) Here are a few pointers on care of gas water heaters: 1. Brush burners at least twice a year. Clean burners give a clean flame and eliminate backfiring. 2. Open the drain faucet at the bottom of the heater once a month or every two months to drain off sediment. Sediment, if not drained off, impairs the efficiency of the heater because it has an insulating effect. It is not necessary to drain off much water, just a quart or two until the water runs clear. 3. Water heaters as well as hot water piping should be insulated to conserve heat. 4. The thermostat of the water heater should be adjusted so that the temperature will not exceed 140 degrees. Excessive temperatures not only waste fuel but may be injurious to the heater and the piping. 5. Conserve fuel by having leak ing faucets repaired and by not washing dishes in running hot wa ter. Calving Cows Bringing the dairy cow through the calving period in best possible shape is one way of adding to total milk production without using more feed. On the other hand, trouble during this critical time can reduce the cow’s production for the entire lactation period. Some recommend reducing the grain ration a week be fore calving. During the last few days give a light, laxative feed of bran, oats and a little oil meal, to gether with water from which chill has been removed. The cow should have a clean, well-bedded box stall. It is a good idea to wash the udder with soap and water to protect the calf. After calving, the cow should be offered lukewarm water and left with the calf in the box stall for a few days. Continue the laxative grain mixture, but do not overfeed. If the calf can be induced to suck all quarters, no hand milking is needed. After the cow is returned to her stall and milking resumed, increase the grain gradually. It will take three to six weeks before the cow can take full feed, depending on production.

Only 26 cities were served. A coast-to-coast ship ment then spent 36 hours in the air, anj made 16 refueling stops. To day’s transcontinental trip is an overnight flight of 16 hours. Last year 1,405,000 air express shipments were made, nearly 100 times as many as in the first complete year of the service. This year express cargo has hurtled through the skies at the rate of more than 40 tons each day. over 18 commercial airlines whose routes aggregate 45.000 miles. These air-borne tonnages include lightweight merchandise such as flowers and latest-style Easter bon nets. but shipments are headed by machinery, electrical parts and hardware. These items amount to 27 per cent of the total weight. Thank You “We have enjoyed our four-year stay in Hermis ton immensely. We entered business in Hermiston on July 3, 1940, and since that time have had the pleasant experience to make many friends. Many of our customers have been with us throughout these four years and many have traded with us at numer ous times during this period. To one and all we wish to express our heartiest thanks for this patronage. It has been indeed a pleasure to serve you.” Best Wishes “We have sold our business to Merton Ransom of Milton. Mr. Ransom comes to Hermiston well qualified to handle a Chevrolet agency as he was associated with the Price-Ransom Chevrolet Co. in Milton for 14 years prior to purchasing the Hermis ton Auto Co. We wish Mr. Ransom the best of luck in this enterprise and hope that he enjoys his stay in Hermiston as we have enjoyed ours. To the many customers of the Hermiston Auto Co., we wish to state that your continued patronage will be greatly Goodbye “There comes a time for farewell,” is also applic able to our case. Until I became seriously troubled with asthma some months ago, I had hoped to make Hermiston our home for many years. However, it is impossible to render good service when one feels ill and cannot get proper rest. For this reason, we have switched our scene of operation to Heppner where the altitude is more favorable. We leave Her miston with some regret, well knowing that the fut ure of this town is bright and that we are leaving be hind many intimate friends. However, “there comes a time for farewell.” Strawberry Mulch I | | | 1 . Behrman Jewelry Open Evenings Charlie Says List Five Pointer* for Care of Water Heaters QUALITY : , THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1944 THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON. OREGON. PAGE FOUR e a Strawberries need a mulch of straw or hay for the winter, both to protect the roots from the alternate freezing and thawing which breaks them and heaves up the then root- less plants, and also to protect the fruit buds from extreme cold. The mulch usually should go on the strawberry bed in late November, before the ground freezes thorough ly. Several inches of straw or hay make the best mulch. Leaves mat down easily and kill some of the crowns of the plants, but may be used if nothing else is handy. Corn stalks are too coarse to give the strawberries much protection with out making the covering too heavy and thick. Marsh grass is an ex cellent mulch. HERMISTON AUTO CO.
