Farmers appreciate the addition of
comforts and conveniences to farm
life should not fail to visit the exhibit
of the Lalley-Wilson Electro com
pany on the Tractor Show grounds.
The Lalley Farm Light plant will
litre bi shown in operation. At a
small cost for operation it will furnish
a brilliant, steady light for the house,
barn and other buildings. It also will
operate the churn, pump, separator,
electric washing machine, vacuum
cleaner and electric fans. It also can
be used to charge an automobile stor
age batttr .
Though so simple in construction
that anybody can operate it, the Lal
ley light plant has many distinguish
ing features that appeal strongly to
the man who knows anything about
engines and electricity, and the cost
of operation is only a few cents a day.
No technical knowledge is required
to operate the plant and keep it in
good working condition. It is of sub
stantial design and rigid construction
throughuot built to last. It has been
on the market six years and has stood
the test.
As for a description of the plant, it
may be said that the engine is a one
and one-half-horsepower Lalley, with
cylinders ground to insure accuracy,
all parts machined and all revolving
parts carefully balanced. It has a Ber
ling magneto and carburetor of the
float feed type, Lalley design. The en
tire engine is lubricated by putting oil
in the gasoline tank. This obviates
damage through lack of lubrication,
for if the engine runs out of oil it also
runs out of gasoline and stops.
The batteries are specially designed
Willard. The generator is splendidly
designed for the plant. The switch
board is very simple. In charging the
battery the engine is stopped auto
matically when battery is full.
Krefeld, City Where Where
"Die Wacht Am Rhine" is Born
Krefeld, the city of Prussia from
which comes the news of the death
of Lieutenant Schaefer, one of Ger
many's star aviators, who had been
credited with the destruction of thirty
airplanes belonging to the allies, is
the subject of a bulletin issued by the
National Geographic society, which
says: Krefeld, the great silk and vel
vet manufacturing center of Rhenish,
Prussia, from which America and
England annually received $5,000,000
worth of these fabrics before the war,
is one of the most progressive of
modern German municipalities. Its
population at the outbreak of the war
was 130,000, having increased four
fold during the last half of the nine
teenth century. Unlike most cities dat
ing from medieval times (the first
mention of it occurs in the annals of
the twelfth century), Krefeld was al
ways an bpen town. The foir great
boulevards which enclose it form a
great rectangle instead of a circle,
such as the boulevards which have
replaced the fortifications of waljed
pities.
.The city is situated three miles
from the Rhine on the left bank and
is thirty-four miles northwest of Co
logne :.iul fifteen miles northwest of
Dusseldorf. Its Water commerce pass
es through the large harbor of Linn,
which it owns.
The prosperity of Krefeld is at
tributed to the' fact that it offered
an asylum to Protestants and Men
nonites in the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries. These peoples, flee
ing from religious persecution,
brought with them the art of velvet,
linen and silk weaving, the last named
being introduced from Holland in the
eighteenth century. Now, or at least
in the prosperous times just before
the outbreak of the war, there were
more than 20,000 looms in operation
in the citv, producing fabrics valued
at SJO.OOOiOOO annually. Other indus
trial activities of the community in
cluded the manufacture of cellulose,
chemicals, leather, dyes, carpets, cra
vats, cotton goods and machinery.
The Krefeld Technical school for the
study of the textile industry is world
famous, and in times of peace enrolls
students from many countries.
Three miles to the south of the
city is the Gradbach road, a mem
orial of the battle of Krefeld, in which
Frederick the Great's general, the
Duke of Brunswick, , defeated the
French during the seven, years' war.
From a sentimental standpoint Kre
feld derives its chief importance to
the people of Germany from the fact
that it was here that Karl Wilhelm,
composer of the national air, Die
Wacht Am Rhein, was living at the
time t'-'t he gave that music to Prus
sia. Wilhelm was born at Schmalk
aldan in 1815, but for twenty-five
years (1840 to 1865) 4ie was a music
teacher and director at Krefeld, where
a monument has been erected to his
memory.

WAR BRINGS TURKISH
WOMENJNTO VIEW
Gentler Sex Is Now Employed
by Offices, Warehouses, Posts
Telegraph and Telephone
Exchanges.
Rotterdam, Netherlands, July 3.
(By Mail.) Even in the land of the
harem the war is bringing women into
public employment and the public eye.
Hard shocks are being administered
to old prejudices in Turkey-, woman's
agelong seclusion is being assailed,
and it will be strange indeed if the
facts recorded in the latest letter of
the "Nieuwe Rotterdam Courant's"
Balkan correspondent do not have a
lasting effect on the general position
of women in the east.
Such announcements as "the Min
istry of War requires women for of
fice and warehouse duties, at a com
mencing salary of 400 piasters (equiv
alent to normally about $19) a
month," emanating from the depart
ment of imperial posts, telegraphs
and telephones, the Turkish Red
Crescent (Turkish Red Cross), the
railway companies and the municipal
ity can now be read daily in the pa
pers of the Turkish capital, says the
writer quoted. The notices particu
larly add that the candidate must pre
sent a written statement from the
head of her family that she had been
given permission to accept such work.
More Pay Than Men.
They are signs, of the . times, tes
tifying to the prevailing dislocation of
ordinary life, in Turkey. Women
are not only permitted, but openly
invited to come and do men's work,
beside and among men, and even in
public. Moreover, they are offered
immediately a salary of $19 a month,
while, in ordinary times, a male be
ginner had to serve the first few
months for nothing.
Since the beginning of the war liv
ing at Constantinople has become
two or three times as dear as before,
and before, and longer hours are
worked even in the public depart
ments. Nevertheless, the conservative
old Turk, cannot yet bring himself
to grant his womenfolk the permis
sion required by the government.
The more levies of young and older
men are called to the colors, how
ever, the greater the need of substi
tute labor becomes. Women and girls
are more and more in demand for
occupations which, according to
Turkish ideas, are unsuited for them.
Few Mcijlem Women at Work
It is still for the greater part
Greek, Levantine and many Jewish
women, and women subjects of coun
tries allied with Turkey, who have
given ear to the calls for women
labor. Practically no Moslem women
are to be found engaged in office
work, it is chiefly in the telephone
service, and the offices of the Red
Crescent that Moslem women are to
be found, and then only a few. Some
Moslem nurses have also recently
made their appearance in the dressing
stations and the war hospitals, but
they wear a white cloth so wound
round the head, and pinned together
under the nose, that only eyes and
nose are visible. Armenian women
show just as little inclination for
public occupations.
Swedish People Hear
Of Anti-Draft Rioting
Stockholm. July 15. The pro-German
portion of the Stockholm press
republished with evident satisfaction
a telegraphic dispatch to the Berlin
Tagesblatt, reporting anti-conscription
riots in the Lnited States. The police,
the dispatch said, were compelled to
restore order in Cleveland and Chi
cago. Resistance to conscription is
declared also to be especially vigorous
in Montreal.

Airmen Come In for Part
Of Prize Money in London
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London, July 15. For the first time
in history officers and men of the fly
ing corps have been granted partici
pation in the allotment of prize
bounty. The case was in the prize
court this week when the captains
of the warships, Severn and Mersey,
with two aeroplane pilots, claimed
prize money for the destruction of
the German cruiser Konigsberg, lying
in the Rufigi river, German East
Africa. The president awarded 1,920,
a portion of which the airmen will
get for "spotting" for the guns of the
warships,

War Revives Latin as
Useful to the Nations
Latin is getting a little revival as
a result of the war. Latin phrases
abound in law, diplomacy, etc. For
instance, the European pacifists are
demand peace on the basis of the
'status quo ante bellum," which be
ing interpreted means simply the
londitions existing before the war.
Latin is valuable because it is so
crisp; it usually takes more words
to express the same idea in modern
languages. But the phrase "status
quo ante bellum" is too long, and
so the initial letters of it are used
for brevity: "S. Q. A. B." The war
ii making lots of language. For ex
ample, the new form of German ma
chine gun pit, protected by reinforced
concrete, is known as a "mebu." The
word will not be found in any diction
ary. It is made up from the initials
of the German terms, "Maschinen
Eisen Betum Unterstand." In this
country we constantly abbreviate
"high cost of living" to "H. C L."
The initiative, referendum and recall
are likewise telescoped into "I. R. R."
"Anzacs" is another word which the
war has created and which the pro
fessors would hunt for in the diction
aries in vain. It, too. is a made-up
word, in which the "A" stands for
Australia and the "nz" for New Zea
land; it refers to the troops from
those countries. No doubt some term
will be found to distinguish the
forces which this nation is to throw
into the war. "American" is really too
broad a term, for it includes the
whole western hemisphere. "Uso
na" maw possibly be adopted
standing for "United States of North
America," though it sounds too much
like a breakfast food or a brand of
crackers. New York Tribune.
