This range is an exact duplicate of the larger electric ranges. Lois Van Landingham, of the Hawthorn School received the prize for her school and it is with pleasure we print her essay, at the same time extending her our congratulations. PACIFIC POWER & LIGHT COMPANY. Hawthorne School. Grade, 15-A THE USE OF ELECTRICITY IN THE HOME. Electricity is a useful and powerful thing. We use it in a great many ways. We have elec tric lights, irons, percolators, toasters and stoves. It gives clearer lights than oil lamps and we do not have to carry it from room to r.irm D mjikps th ironinir easier and vour iron does not get cold so quick. You do not have to be running from the ironing board to the stove all the time. The electric percolator makes much better coffee and saves time and work. You do not have to build a fire when you want some coffee, you just put the coffee and the water in and turn on the electricity and you will have some coffee in a few minutes. The electric toaster makes much better toast and you do not have to hold it over the stove. You "just put the bread on the toaster and turn on the electricity and you will soon have some toast. The electric stove is much cleaner than a coal or wood stove. It saves time and work. It does not take an hour to heat it. You turn on the electricity and your stove will soon be hot. It is so good it is used in most every home. LOIS VAN LANDINGHAM. 3 I 1 when the ceremony 1. performed In the office of I'ollce Magistrate Patrick Magulre.
