OREGONS ENTER OHIO
Celebrate Arrival in That State By
Defeating Mansfield By Score
of 48 to 20.
After defeating Linesville, the crack
team of Pennsylvania, The Oregons'
basketball team entered Ohio, opening
their week of play in that state with a
victory over Mansfield, by a score of
48 to 20. The news of the game, which
was played Wednesday night, was
telegraphed into Dallas by Dan Pol
ing, the ex-star center, who played on
the Dallas College team in the years
when it was first building up its
championship reputation.
Evidently delighted both by the
victory and tho sight of his fellow
players of former years, he voiced his
joy in the terse telegraphic expression,
"Dallas 48, Mansfied 20. A sight for
sore eyes. DanPoling."
Manager Teats has telegraphed the
following schedule of games for the
coming week: January 28, Ada,
Ohio; January 29, Canton, Ohio;

ter, Indiana ; February 3, Notre Dame,
Indiana. Letters and mail for the
members of the team should be
addressed to Muscatine, Iowa, to
insure their prompt and certain
receipt.
Considering the strain of incessant
travel and playing to which they have
been subjected, the Dallas five is in
excellent condition and expects to
score au almost unbroken chain of
victories during the next week.

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 ot lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the eloctric 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 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.
