THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE
CHATS WITH
' YOUR ,
GAS MAN
TI13 use of heat and power In
unite- or gas, electricity and
other forms gives to each man,
woman and child In thte coun
try, the equivalent of 30 sor
vnnts. Tho Smithsonian Insti
tution believes that if our modem
puhlla utility companies woro
taken away It would requlro
tlirco billion hard-working slaves
to duplicate their iw(ork.
A striking bit of information.
But think how comparatively
recent these aids to comfortable'
nnd convient living havo been
made to Borvo us.
It was not long ago that
Franco had a tax on windows
and poor people Bpent thoir
nights In darkness and foul air.
Our grandmothers had to wash
tho globos and trim the wicks
o: oil lamps. Plenty of old
settlors, now living, can recall
tho days when they ran a mllo
from tho nearest neighbor's with
a shovelful of blazing coals.
As II by magic, theso things
have now passed forover. Gas,
olectrlcity, tho street car, tele
phone, telegraph theso havo
replaced your 30 servants.
