Tha Alamo Electric Farm Light Plant I ' fie -ffillfJ tion sermon was preached nv Rev. G. W. Hatcher in the afternoon. A bas ket dinner was served at noon, whirr consisted of all the goo! tilings for which the good housekeepers cf this place a:e noted, and the amount of dinner which was carried back home was ample evidence that it was as abundant as it was well prepared.

He is one of New B!oomf:eld's splen did young men and is ideally fitted for the religious calling he has under taken. The large attendance at his ordination Sunday attested to his popularity among his heme folks. The Place to Buy Lumber. There never was a season so favor able for building and making im provements around your farm home as this one has been, and the activity around the Murray lumber yard is an evidence of this fact. More of all grades of lumber is being sold this spring than for many seasons. The demand for good goods and the fact that it can always be found at this lumber yard at the right'prices are the causes for the increased business Mr. Kikendall is after the lumber business of this locality, not only from the fact that it is due him, but be cause hi is ready and willing to meet all competition on the numerous grades of lumber. Here's light for your home, farm buildiDgs and yard. Here's power for your electric carpet sweeper, sewing machine, churn and fan; heat for your eleetric iron and toaster. PRICE IS LOW! You'll be surprised when we tell you how low is the price of the complete plant. If you have your own engine it is even less. The cost of operation is moderate. The plant is easily in stalled. Ready for operation when taken out of the crate. The Alamo is the ideal farm light plant simplest, safest and best takes up but little space. Since the perfec'ion of the tungsten lamp, which requires only one-third the electricity to produce the samejight as the old carbon lamp, large storage batteries are not necessary. Thereby the cost of a light plant is so reduced that it is within the means of the average farmer. The ideal plant for the farm is the Alama Electric Farm Light Plant. We were the first to introduce the small light plant into the country homes, and our present improved product is the result of eight years of successful manufacture. The plant is the simplest, safest and best, and it takes up but little space. Every farmer should have one, not only to light his building, but to furnish power for his wife's churning, sewing, etc. The price of the standard plant is 253.00, so you see it is an attractive proposition for the farmer. If you do not already have an engine of 2 II. P. or mere, we can furnish it for you for $-10.00 additional. 8 Let Us Talk to You About the Work of the ALAMO Puis Exclusive Agent for Cass County.
