OREGONS STILL WINNING Add Four Victories to Their List Since Defeating: The Redwings Last Week. Since defeating the Redwings last week, the Oregons have added four more victories to their list. Thursday night they defeated LaCrosse, Wis consin, by a score of 31 to 23 and oo Friday and Saturday nights they played Portage, winning the first game by a score of 31 to 21 and the second by a score of 39 to 15. In the latter game the Oregons throw 16 field baskets to their opponents two, the remainder of the points being made on fouls. The game in Nee nab. last night was one of the closest that has been played during the tour, a slick floor hamper ing the team work of the westerners and holding the score down to 27 to 24 in their favor. The boys report a rougher style of playing to contend with as they go eastward, but are in excellent con dition and fully able to take care of themselves against any aggregation they may meet as the record of their scores indicates. The game last night completed the list of 21 games out of which the Dallas five won 19, lost one and tied one. They had, at the very best, not hoped to win more than 18 out of their first 21 games, and the fact that they have exceeded all expectations in their recent achievements is a source of gratification both to the members of the team and to their numerous sup porters in Dallas and in Polk county. Tonight and tomorrow night the Oregons will play In Fon Du Lac and on Thursday night they will return to Neenuh for a second game. Polk County Girl Honored.

HALL $ HAYES FURNITURE STORE 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 electrio light, but does it save you anything when it limits op portunities for work and reoreation 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.
