ELECTRICAL PROSPERITY WEEK
Tl'e electrical ludustry is not
codttut to sit quietly and wait for
prosperity to take its own good time
ubout coming back. This is uot at
all the nature of things electrical!
It is gclng right out after prosperity
dining the week of November 29 -
aud December 4, aud bring it back,
or know the reason why. And j
wheu this three-billiou-dollax in
dustry starts out after anything it
usually gets it.
Electrical Prosperity Week is to
be a country-wide, six-day celebra
tion. Its purpose will be to show ,
to tho public how electricity, the all
pervadijW force of the universe, the ;
most willing and most reliable ser
vant lu the world, is permanently
linked with present-day progress.
The great celebration will herald
far aud near electrical wonders of
which millions do not know, possi
bilities of which they have never
dre-ioed, facts which will surprise
the most optimistic.
Tne lirue is set for November 29
to December 4; the place, the Un
ited SUtes of America. Timed for
the beginning of the Christmas shop
pi'ig period, it will afford an ef
fective stimulation to tho "shop
e^rly" idea. The movement origi
ua* d with, the Society for Electri
cal Development, Incorporated, with
headquarters ia New York. It is
barked by the uuited glectrical iu
t-n-sts cf the country.
It is planned to rend the cloutls
o£ degression, to hasten an era of ;
brightness, truth and understanding,
♦o foster a spirit of optimism.
All are not fully aware of the j
v.ut possibilities of electricity in
sclvi.ig domestic and business prob
lems. Homes where drudgery ex
ists can be made cleaner, brighter
au.l healthier by this willing servant
Expensive, inefficient and wasteful
methods now employed iu thousands
of industrial and commercial es
tablishments oau be bettered by
vlectric power.
It Is the purpose of Electrical
Prosperity Week to bring these
faets home to people by displays,
exhibitions, lectures, shows and ad
vertising. People will be shown
mr^t conclusively that electricity is
a necessity, not a luxury; is
economical, not expensive; is simple,
not complex; is general in scope, mti
limited; is safe, not dangerous; is i
useful tvery day in the week. The |
Society for Electrical Development,
supported by legions of boosters,
romprising a unanimous and un-!
broken lineup of the electrical fra-1
teraitv throughout the country, is
managing the great event. Opti
mists find this movement a real op
portunity to rally to the banner i
ever increasing numbers.

Seward, Xot. 1—Before an inter
ested audience ol -women at the
Pioneer hall. Judge F. M. Brown
talked for an hour yesterday after
noon on the laws of Alaska. The

deeply Interested, "The Relation of
the Territorial Laws of Alaska to

poiuts which w9re not clearly un
lcrctood. Among other questions
liscussed was tho ore that the law
July gives the widow of a man leav

REAL COURTESY.
Nothing is a courtesy unless it be
meant for us. and meant friendly or
lovingly. We owe no thanks to
rivers that they carry our boats, or
winds that they be favoring and fill
our sails, or meats that they be nour
ishing. for these are what they are
necessarily. Horses carry us, trers
shade us, but they know it not.
Ben Jonson.
Unconscious Versification.
Among examples of unconscious ver
sltk'ution the one cited below should tie
noted ns being probably the best on
record. Many Imaginative writers be
come lyrical, inspired by the beauty
of their subjeet or by the mere har
mony of words reacting on their Im
agination. but the following lines,
which might be a stanza from "In
Memorlatn," are from a solemnly pro
saic textbook on the "Parallelogram
of Forces," by. I fancy, Sir David
Brewster:
And hence no force, however great.
Can draw a cord, however fine.

JCORRECTING A FAULT
You have undoubtedly noticed that a number of your negotives
taken durine the past summer have been flat. This is due to CNDER
exposure—and the way to fret the best results is to use a tri-pod, giving
a little time to the takinjrof the picture. Try it—the result will more
than corapensrte jou for the trifling cost of the tri-pod. If you do not
have one, we can supply yt ur wants. Metal orwood. With or without
