In both departments, howovcr, great few years and the introduction of u great varioty of devices for the uso of cur rentheating and cooking appllancss, small motors for all purposes, etc, has made it possible for companies in small towns to givo twenty-four hour service. Tho averago reador may not know vestment in an electric light plnnt Ib feu tem. In any electric plant from two to ting system to every dollar represented by tho power generating stations. This fact is more striking when compared with the comparatively cheap, delivery systems of factories, mills and trade establishments. Such contrast brings out ono of the many differences botwoen electric plants and other kinds of container clal industry ono of tho reasons which entitles electric companies to be -con sidered in n class by themselves. Without a proper distributing system tho best power station ever built would bo worthless. Tho great cost of preciation attending it, necessarily is reflected in the chargo? for service. In terest must be paid on the capital used, taxes must be paid on tho property cre ated, and depreciation charges must bo All these expenses nnd many others service, Bince this is the only source of North Platte Gas & The Baynes Lecture.

Not only does this man go into tho woods nnd live with tho animals but ho brings them back to his home and insists on their visiting him for weeks and months. His homo might be termed a Eoological garden nnd- those 'who 'hear his lecture can appreciate what a glorious good timo he has with his visitors." Mr. Baynes will be at Tho Keith Tuesday ovening, March 8th, with theso same picturers and tho same Iccturo which so pleased tho people of Chicago. High School Lecture Course No. 5.
