By jinks, I’m speakin’ my right mind. We just sent in an order for an electric light plant. Harry says we can get a motor so small we can carry it around under our arms and can attach it to the wire any place and run our fan mills, pumps, grinders, washin’ machines, in fact everything dependin’ on the size of the motor. In the house you can take off a light bulb and attach a “lectric” iron and cooker, make it do the churnin’ and sweepin’, run the sewin’ machine, and even rock the cradle, besides havin’ light all over yer buildin’s without any danger of fire.

Wall, I’ll be goll durned. John, are ye sure ye haven’t been drinkin’ too much lemonade?
Mr. Benson
It’s right. In the spring we’re goin’ ter git a runnin’ water system made especially for the farm. Harry has had it all planned for over a year now.
Hiram
Wall, if that don’t beat the cat’s a fightin’. I knew that boy had the stuff in him when he planned that house for you and Mary.

If you folks are going, you had better be coming along.
