In 1912 I wrote con- cerning the electricity part of the exposi- tion that it would be up to date; in 1913 that all new discoveries to opening of fair would be there, and in 1914 that the oxpasition of discoveries and uses of elec- | tricity would surpass all previous achieve- ments, In 1915 the fact is here. The exhibits of new things In electricity are so pro- phetic of greater things to come that the very foundation laws of all hature may yet be dlscovered. And students of elec- trical englnoering, current manipulation and futricate laws of electro-magnetism |in technical colleges of the future may | well bo congratulated upon these new things.

Now the idea is to start a chain of co-operative theatres. If we got together 10,000 origi- nal investors of a dime for initial capital we could open a theatre here. Each stockholdei could be prevailed upon to bring two customers which logically would give us 30,000 to start with, and with these agreeing to bring two each and so on, the imaginary company would make at least $300 a week profit on each theatre. Multiply this with 50,000 theatres, and we would have $15,000,000 a week. But to be perfectly conservative and for safety sake, 30 as not to inflate expecta- tions cut this in half, and you have $7,500,000 a week. In a year this v+ uld become $380,000,000 to be divided share and share alike among the 10,000 original investors of 10c. lus capital might be invested in a Busses, Mountain Roads, Moving Picture Producing Co., Hyocyamus industries, ete.
