In the death of Governor Withy
eombe, Oregon loses one of her most
loyal and likeable citizens.
Having been one of the fortunate
pioneers of the state the Governor
worked for years for the Improve
ment of the lands and stock of the
rural districts, and was always far
sighted In his expressions of the fu
ture. A year and a half before the Unit
ed States entered the war he was
sounding the warning that the danger
was coming and that was considered
to lightly by the most of the popula
tion. At the Inter-State fair in this city
e said in au address at that time,
that the war was Bure to come, that
patriotism had reached a dangerous
ly low ebb and that the task of tak
ing the part of the deciding factor in
the world conflict was to be taken by
the United States.
His record as war governor was
ne of the best in the nation and as
such will be long remembered by the
people of the state and nation he so
loyally served.

clung to the trees for the past ten

More than four thousand Delco-Light plants were de
livered for war work. They were used to supply elec
tric light in camps, storehouses, hospitals, Y. M. C. A.
huts, airplane hangars, sub-chasers and other branches
of the service.
In Red Cross hospitals at the front, Dtlco
Light operated life-saving X-ray apparatus.
Delco-Light was specified by the Government because
it is dependable, efficient, -simple to operate, requires
little attention and because it is AIR-COOLED.
The result of Government tests and the satisfactory
use of Delco-Light on oter 60,000 farms are your as
surance that Delco-Light will give you ihe same de
pendable service.
It betters living conditions, increases farm efficiency,
and soon pays for itself in time and labor saved.
