Sealed Ttebt- KePt Right The country seems to be experiencing a healthy and general readjustment of prices. Prices in many lines seem defi nitely to be coming down —and the purchasing power of the dollar to be going up. However, milk prices for October held closely to t he September price, which w as at a high level. The October milk price was aboiit 30% higher than the May price. Our price on B U F F A LO CORN G L U T EN F E ED declined some 35% since May. In this general decline of prices, the feeder of BUFFALO CORN GLUTEN FEED has had a distinct advantage in the shape of our guarantees against decline in our price. With these guarantees on BUFFALO CORN GLUTEN FEED, the dealer has been able to rewrite his price from time to time, and keep current with the declines; and the dairy farmer, who has bought this feed with the same protection, is able to mark down his costs in the same way. A grain ration with a liberal proportion of BUFFALO CORN GLUTEN F E ED can be made up—on account of these guarantees—at a much lower cost than with other concentrated feeds.

A. C. RECORD. - - q^ Life on the Ocean with Electricity at the Helm IN the old days, life before the mast was rated in terms of man power but the new sea is measured in horse-power, with elec tricity as the controlling force. A modern electric ship, like the "New Mexico" or the "California," is a great city afloat. With oil or fuel, a central power plant generates sufficient energy to propel the massive vessel and to furnish light and power for every need. And on the shore the application of electricity to the loading, unloading and repair work saves time and labor. To make possible marine electrification the future needs aboard ship had to be visualized and then the machinery engineered to meet those needs. In this capacity the organization, experience and facilities of the General Electric Company have been serving the American Navy and Merchant Marine. 95-S53 1
