DALLAS, OR. -lw!a Electricity for Lighting mmmmmmmmmimmmmimmmmiiummmmm leeawaww. m Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To you, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnon not needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed to savo bother of lighting and adjusting. In Bome homos the eleotrlo light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than eleotrlo light, but does it save you anything when it limits op portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but it wouldn t be economy. It is not so much what you save, but how you save that counts. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.
