ELECTRICITY TO
BRING PROSPERITY
Writing in Public Utilities Fort
nightly, Raymond Francis Yates asks
a question: "Will the Electric Util
ities Lead Ue Back to Prosperity?"
In his opinion, the answer is yes.
He points out that after every de- !
pression some great industry has 1
come to the fore. The clipper ships
did this in the forties, the railroads
after the Civil War, the automobile
industry in 1920. And now the e'ec
trie industry is our logical economic
savior.
Mr. Yates points out two great and
almost undeveloped fields tor elec- j
tricity: Use of power by domestic
labor-saving machines, and electricity
on the farm. Only a small part of
Our homes have electric sewing ma- '
chines, ironers, ranges and the like
even electric toasters, percolators and
such common appliances are compar
atively rare. With the single possible
exception of the electric iron, the
saturation point for any device is
still far in the future.
On the farm, conditions are sim
ilar. A few farmers have power an
overwhelming majority have not.
Yet. according to Mr. Yates, ten".
cents worth of electricity will churn
40 pounds of cutter, separate 2800
pounds of milk and cream, sharpen
12 axes, pump four days' supply of
water, and do four large family
washings.
No other industry has greater pos
sibilities than the electric, and no
other has ever shown a finer spirit
of progress. It is not difficult to be
lieve that future prosperity will be
largely the result of electrical de
velopments. Wanted to Rent
Small tract (5 to 20 acres), with
improvements. Will pay year's cash
