MEDFORD’S
AIR SHOW
The city of Medford were hosts to the air- minded
people of southern Oregon, Monday and people flocked
into that city to view the stunts performed by the in
trepid fliers of both sexes as their planes zoomed through
the air in many topsy-turvy shapes. To many who
viewed this spectacle that was all that mattered but that
was not the reason why Medford invited the people of
all southern Oregon to their fete. They wished to ac
quaint the people with their advancement along the
lines of aviation and truly they have worked wonders
there. Their municipal air port is one to be proud of.
If is the work of the dreamers of Medford—the men
and women of vision who had a mental picture of what
southern Oregon needed in the way of accomodations for
aerial vehicles and they went out and provided those ac
comodations. It was this progressive spirit which Med
ford wanted to show to the rest of the people of south
ern Oregon and we feel that all who attended the show
were able to congratulate the “Pear City” upon the ef
fort it has shown in aeronautical advancement.

Electricity—The Time Saver
In the days before electricity oil th* fiirni, breakfast meant
continual trips to and from the kitcli u ran; e. Now, with
home electric aids, nn)thing from colice to ham ai.d eggs
can he prepared right at the ta’de.
i'he time saved with these nn,l other electric appliancea,
tuch as vacuum cleaners, washirg and iron'ng ninelJnes,
refrigerators, fans and water heater:-, is worth ninny limes
the trifling cost of the eleelrieity coiKimed.
And around the farm, electric motors drjyiag nmpr, milk
ing machines, feed gi-inde-f, and other farm equipment,
do their work swiftly, tirelessly, and at a fraction of the
time and cost of hand labor.
