RE8IGN8 FROM BOARD,
At the meeting of the school board
last week the resignation of Mr. A.
W. Davis was accepted and Mr. C.
J, Miller was appolntou In his place.
Mr. Davis' letter of resignation
follows which explains bis resigning.
Mr. Davis mado a good member of
tha board while he acted In that ca
pacity and bla reasons for resigning
are those we might expect from a
thorough going business man.
To tho School Board, St. Johns, Ore.
Gentleman: Please accept my res
ignation, I am of the opinion that
a member of the board should visit
the schools and give tho business
more attention generally than I am
allc to do, or have any prospect of
doing In the near future. My time Is
so taken up that I cannot Justify
myself In assuming these Important
duties. So I think It best to mako
room for some one that will give it
tho attention It should have.
Respectfully, A. W, Davis. ,

Klectric Light is the magnet that draws trade. The
bright store Is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can
no more resist the attraction of n brilliant, Klectricnlly lighted
store than they can resist the clarion call of n brass band,
, Is your conijK-titor with the Klectrically Illuminated show
windows, bright interior nnd sparkling Klectric Sign getting
nn advantage over yon ? The moth never flutters around the
unllghted candlel Up-to-date stores nowadays consider
shop-window lighting n necessity, whether they remain open
after dark or not. Competition forces modern methods,
A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klectric
Unlit will make many n sale "the night before," Klectric
light compels attention, makes easy the examination of your
display, shows goods iu detail and fabrics iu their true colors.
And don' t neglect the Klectric Sign. It is soliciting
"tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning
your name iu the public mind. It is a solicitor that never
becomes weary never stops work costs little.
