That is| what people said of Fred P. Mann of Devil’s Lake, N. D., when‘ - he did that very thing, back in 1907./ . Y “The town will never support a store half that size,” they! declared. . .

He attributes his remarkable success entirely to advertising— advertising in every possible form. , 1 Three years ago he set out to learn why one-thm} of the bubiness in his state was going to mail order houses in large cities. His survey proved to his satisfaction that it was because only 10 per cent of the local merchants were ‘live advertisers.” Since then he himself has made greater inroads into the business of the Chicago mail order houses. “You can do a big business anywhere,” he'says, “if yougo about it right.—Red Wing Republican. —_—0 “THE MACEDONIAN CRY” ; | The Albanian government has offered itself to the Methodist| Episcopal church. It is rare, indeed, for a nation of over a mil- lion people to ask a church to take over its educational develop- amotntsto. The government is prepared to co-operate in every possible way by providing sites, farm lands, buildings, and adds that: “The people will be your servants.” Bishop Blake has inaugurated his work in Europe with definite, tangible projects and declares “that to turn aside from this effer, to stop our ears to this cry would be tragic.” Indications are that he wilt carry out the wishes of this nation.

My last Name is Watt; I was named after the Promi- nent.Scottish Family of that Name, and am Proud of it; and I will tell you a little of the history of that side of My” Family. ‘Of course, you know by ‘this time that I am Electric Power, or Force, which has existed thrdughout the Ages. but which first was studied and written about by \Dr. William Gilbert of Queen Elizabeth of England’s time. Galvani, an Italia is credited with first detecting a current, or flow, of Elec- tric Force, and his name is .used as the .basis for the name of the Process of Gal- vanizing Iron. ) In the same way the name of Volta, another Iatlian, who developed the first suc- cessful electric battery, is used to designate ‘“‘Voltage,” which is: 2 The electrical pressure which sends electric current through a wire; just as ‘“‘pressure” designates the force which sends K water through a pipe.. Thus a “60- volt” current of electricity differs from a “120-volt” cur- rent of electricity as a 15- pound water pressure differs from a 30-pound water pres- sure. : Wateristransmitted through hollow pipes; elec- . tric energy through solid wires, the hole in the pipe, the out- side of which confines and presents the loss of the wa- ter. In the transmission -of electrical energy the copper core of the wire corresponds to the “hole” in the pipe, and . the insulation corresponds to the pipe itself, confining and preventing the escape of electric energy, or curyent.
