Chicken Thievery No Longer Joked About The chicken thief has long offered j good material for the jokesmith. ! Chicken stealing used to be regarded af a more or less minor offense and a joke on the loser, these days of bold banditry, however, when trucks are driven through country districts and frequently loaded with involun tary contributions from the farmer's poultry shed and pig pen, thievery has reached such proportions in mjiny sections as to be really serious. v * In some State, local vigilance com mittees have been formed to combat these thieving miscreants and many cases of capture and conviction of the evil-doers are reported. These law p.ikd-order forces naturally are called upon after the offense has been com mitted. Commission of the offense is made easily possible generally because the farmer's premises are poorly lighted after night, and the unwel come visitors arc able to work in-the dark. It would be a great help te-4he farmer when he hears an unusual roise around his premises after night to be able to light up the place and actually see what, or who, is makinir the disturbance. Electric liglrtr would be a great protection in such a case and would very often make "TtP' pos sible to prevent the stealing, which has been planned. Electric lighf has the advantage of being easily con -trolled. A bright light on a light pole properly loeated in your door yard or barnyard will light up "the premises and scare away the thief. He doesn't like to work i, nthe light. With a switch in your bedroom or by the kitchen door, you can turn this lip ht on or off at a moment's notice. You stay safely in the dark and ex pose the would-be thief to any atten tion which the circumstances indicate h( deserves. Any farm home can have electric lights, for a farm electric plant can be installed on any farm, anywhere. Nor is the protection of^electric lights the only benefit electricity will render on the farm. Electric lights arc the finest sort of light, of course, any home can have, and the farm home should have as fine lights as any oth er home. With electricity, all the mens and drudgery of caring for kerosene lamps and lanterns are- done away with. Then the electric power will save a great deal of the labor that otherwise must be done by hand. The electric washer, the electric iron, elec tric vacuum sweeper,- electric fan, electric warming pad, all these are modern devices created to save time i ami labor and to provide ease and comfort for the housewife, the farm er's wife as well as the city man's. All the machines around the place i that would ordinarily be turned with a crank can be run with an electric motor arid a great deal of labor and drudgery eliminated. The cream sep arator, grindstone, fanning mill, bone cutter, the lathe in the farm work- j shop—for all these electricity Will render a service that can be secured in no other way, and it is very eco nomical. Electric power is cheap as compared with hand labor. Many "a job that would take hours of expen sive hand labor 'can l>e done in less time if done the electrical way, and the only cost is a few cent's worth of electricity. Don't forget, though, with all these advantages, that one of the big bene fits is that of protection. Light is one of the greatest preventatives of crime that exists, and light can be use 1 to prevent crime in the farmer's barnyard, as well as anywhere else.
