The members of the Students Prohi bition Association of Dallas College will meet in the college chapel Tues day night. An excellent program has been prepared and special music has been secured for the evening. Every one who may be interested in this sub ject is invited to attend. The lower story of the Woodman Hall has been remodeled, and the partitions between the dining-room and the apartments formerly occupied by the LaCreole Club have been cut through so that all of the rooms- on the first floor are connected by wide doors. This will make it far easier to accommodate large banquet parties than It has been heretofore. While the mood is on them, the Obsebveb would suggest that they enlarge their stage also. The hall is large and comfortable, and the seating capacity ample, but the stage is so small that it is impossible to accommodate any but .third or fourth rate companies which carry little or no scenery.

Electricity for Lighting 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 wnen not needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than electric 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 housohold work. You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but it wouldn't be economy. It la not so much what you save, but how you save that counts. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.
