FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1S10.
: v...,1(kcbard work
The sky hangs like a leaden pall
Over the sodden earth, no ray
Of sunlight, and the steady fall
Of drizzling rain, a landscape gray
Dismal and drear. And I sit here
And think how dull Is life and sad,
So much that's bad, it drives one mad.
Life Is not worth the living.
A kind friend calls, her face aglow
With sunny smiles, dispensing cheer;
Her words of love and sympathy
Dispelling doubt, distress and fear.
Dark thoughts take flight, the world looks bright
Once more life seems a blessed boon;
My soul in tune, I find full soon
Life well Is worth the living.

The Light Question
Tue bell has sounded the knell of
kerosene, gasoline lights and . other
forms of incompetent illumination.
Are you ready to quit them?
Haven't you tolerated them long
enough?
There was a time when burning
pitch faggots furnished the only
means of artificial illumination folks
knew about. And It was considered
sufficient.
Then came the tallow dip, and
everybody discarded his pitch faggot
In disgust.
The tallow candle was next to ex
ert its supremacy over the tallow
dip, and folks .were glad.
The next step of development was
kerosene lamps, and they in their
turn were welcomed as a pleasing
step In the right direction.
Then came the gasoline lights,
which Jacksonville tried and cast
into the Junk pile several years ago.
And now, as a logical development
of science, we have the greatest of
all illuminants electricity.
Maybe some day something will
replace electricity.
But the probability isn't strong
enough to Jusitfy us in waiting for
It.
No other form of artificial illum-
inant equals electricity in brilliancy,
safety, neatness, healthfulness, econ
omy and cheerfulness.
Electric lighting omits no fumes
or odors, and is the one'hygenic light
for living rooms and bed rooms.
The fact that electric light con
sumes no oxygen, like all open flame
lights do, proves it to be the health
iest light known.
It keeps the air as pure and whole
some as if no light were burning at
all.
The importance of this one feature
is readily apparent when it is known
that an open flame light burns more
oxygen, from a room, than four per
sons would breathe.
No matches. No dangerous, dirty
matches are needed in the home that
Is electrically lighted.
No washing and filling of lamps,
no danger of explosions; no danger
of leaks; no plumbers bills; no flick
ering flame to be blown out by a sud
den gust of wind; no fine smudge of
soot continually emanating from
your light to be deposited on cur
tains, draperies, and furnishings.
When you want to flood your home
with light, simply turn the button.
Think hard now don't you want It?

j social and dance given by the band
boys at Selma New Year's eve, I
jfeel it no more than right the boys
should have a word of praise.
About a year ago the band was
organized and practiced for consider
able time, but made but few public
appearances, and during the summer
months it did but little work and
many changes in members, so that
this fall it was in bad shape, but a
few weeks ago a reorganization and
election of new officers was held,
the services of Mr. Horn, of Sucker
Creek, being secured. The way he
straightened out the rough places
was not slow and on the above date
the band was prepared to furnish
first-class music at the entertain
ment. .
While no special mention can be
made of any of the boys, I can sure
ly say that they all did nobly and
were always ready with an encore,
which was in every case called for,
showing the audience was well
pleased.
While praising the band we must
also call to mind the work of the or
chestra, composed of Mr. and Mrs.
Sidler, violin and organ, and Messrs.
Horn and Clark, cornets. Although
they had little time for practice, they
certainly furnished some of the best
dance music this side of Grants
Pass.
The evening's entertainment was
opened by a few selections by the
band, after which the boxes were
sold, "netting the boys about $75;
boxes running as high as $9.
The boxes were sold by Rev. Shoe
make, and the music was conducted
by Instructor Horn, both doing their
part very creditably.
This was the first appearance of
the new band and we can see nothing
but success ahead.

Tuberculosis in Cows.
A dispatch from Gresham, this

Two government inspectors made
