The followers of the curious creed of the Apostolic Faith, who have been holding meetings in this city for some time, have been aroused within the past week to a somewhat higher pitch of religious fervor than they have enjoyed for a long time, by reports of "great signs and wonders" from their headquarters in neighboring towns, and by the frenzied exhortation of wandering preachers that drop in on their meetings from time to time. As a result of this, their pilgrimages between Dallas and Portland have once more become as frequent as in the summer when they were at their best, and their mission on Mill Street Is being packed nightly with an ever increasing throng of the, faithful and of those who are led thither by motives of curiosity.

To you, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. It Is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than electric light, but docs it save you anything when it limits op portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but It wouldn't be economy. It is not so much what you save, but how you save that counts. t WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.
