It has divorced itself from faults, real or imagi nary, which, 20 years ago, were believed an integral part of corporate business. Today it is interested in service as well as profits. It believes that profits should be made by increasing volume and lowering rates, under the theory of mass production. It labors steadfastly in the public in terest The electric industry is not a philanthropic enterprise. It has millions of employes and stockholders who must receive good wages and fair dividends. But it has found that good business is public spirited business. It has found that if it is to do what is good for itself it must likewise do what is good for the people. Today great electric companies, far from trying tt charge exorbitant rates, make voluntary rate reductions a matter of policy when conditions warrant. They arc constantly improving standards of service through the application of science anti good management. They arc- leading the agicultura! revolution by extending electric ity to the nation’s farms. They work toward a time when every American business home and farm will have good electric service at a low cost. Denunciations of the industry cannot cloud facts. All one needs to do is to think back 10 or 20 years to the time when electricity was provided by small local plants. Think of the standards of service and the rate structure, then and now. It is not shallow flattery to say the electric industry has made amazing progress under private con trol—it is a most obvious fact.

Norcott WE GET OUR SHARE We closed a good year, said E. G. Harlan of the Ore gon state chamber of commerce. “We” means Oregon. Records show 781 families. Many more came on which we have no card yet. To show how it works. V. E. Hall, formerly of Monanga, N. D., with whom we had much correspondence about coming to Oregon, wrote from Payette, Ida. where he found what he wanted that eight of his neighbors were now living in Oregon. Two fam ilies in Eugene and the SIX others in Malheur county. Our Los Angeles office is now hitting its stride. Sales are being reported back there almost daily. The Vale project has received many as well as other sections of the state. Some uplifters do us good; others do us good and plenty. It is some consolation that cold waves are not per manent ones. The show staged by the Senate, too, is practically “all talking.” Beauty is only skin deep and a lot of folks are mighty thin skinned. All extremely old people, it seems, either used lots of whisky and tobacco, or none. It is difficult to grow old gracefully, particularly if one happens to be a pedestrian. Americanism: Getting mad when a foreigner says what we think of some of our customs. Admiral Byrd’s style is somewhat cramped by the fact that this old world has only two Poles. We read that America has about 200 dialects, and it seems that our radio has mastered them all. Pity the poor fellows in Berlin who had to draw their own beer when the waiters went on a strike. With all our American engineering skill, it seems that we can’t build a parachute that will open every time. Sinclair Lewis says life in America is dreadfully dull. Evidently he has not mingled in certain Chicago circles. UNCLE SAM PREFERS CENSUS ENUMERATORS FROM LOCAL DISTRICTS UKNU1NK * Estate HEATROLA B M T A 1M A SS BSW 1V %
