No home is modern without them. They are as important as sanitary plumbing. Good lights are equally important, how ever, if you happen to live in a rented house. Your landlord owes it to you, and you owe it to yourself to have nothing but the best light. Electric lights are easily installed and will prove a source of lasting satisfaction to you.

"Always at Your Service" Oranges are once more plentiful The orange famine last week was not long in its existence but was most complete, and the arrived of delayed carload lots was much appreciated, as it were. The wholesale price on oranges has gone up somewhat but does not effect the retail figures. Nothing new of importance and no changes in prices, , is the summary of market conditions this morning Forest officers in Washington and Oregon plan to discontinue the use of barbed wire am their forests. This will affect their own pastures and pub lic drift fences. They say barbed wire has no advantage over smooth wire, that it injures stock, and that it is more likely to be borne down by soft snow. Stockmen of the Ochoco for est, in Oregon, recently constructed drift fences of smooth wire, though with some misgivings; now they say they will never use barbed wire again.
