When you wish .to express a description of elasticity don't
say "As elastic as rubber" say, "As elastic as the equipment of
the Eastern Oregon Light and Power company." v
You are continually stretching the company's equipment:
to nearly its extent or squeezing it to its smallest limit.
Just consider At one o'clock in the afternoon it is bright
sunshine. You arc . not using electric power or lights. Sud
denly a storm breaks, darkness closes down at once and you and
everybody else, immediately 'switch on the lights. . -
This means that the electric company must make a quick,
1 '. jump from a small load to a heavy load. You press the button
or turn the switch and great electrical machines respond in
stantly to your touch.
The business of serving you with electric light and power
is one which calls for much equipment and capital investment.
I3ut more thttn that, this is a business which demands constant
' alertness in the men behind the equipment.
You keep them on the jump with your rapid ups and downs
in electricity use, but you don't catch them napping.

In Walla Walla at the Whitman

ther commendation or cncouliima.
They will appear In prelude. The
Neighborhood Club hadles sex
tette Is a newer organization but
it Is mude up of six of the fore-I
most singers of l.a Clrande and
they arc preparing a splendid eve

that Andrew loney, the local di
rector, will nol bo In town, Pro-,.
lessor Smith of Caldwell college

Predcrirk Wells some fifteen or
eighteen local aesthetic dancers
