BOARDMAN "Adam and Eva," a three-act com edy, will be presented by the stu dent body of Boardman high school in the school auditorium on Satur day evening, December 15 at 8:00 o'clock. This is a bright and amusing play on a wealthy Ameri can business man with an extrava gant, selfish family.

The young man soon finds himself confronted by the same hurricane of flippancy and terrific bills. As a final remedy he deludes the family Into thinking that father's big rubber business is ruined.

Phone 30FS A nnouncement A Christmas Glad-Making SALE Beginning FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7th Drastic reduction on all articles at the Fair Store will take place during this sale which lasts to New Year. We aim to prove that chain stores and catalogue houses can be beaten by individual business ownership. The secret of success in the modern mercan tile game is not the great purchasing power for the change in styles often eliminates the effectiveness of buying in bulk. The indi vidual merchant has the advantage by often purchasing his needs by preventing accu mulation of so-called dead stock. The cat alogue houses and chain stores have seen their best days. Equal opportunity for in dividual achievement is the slogan of President-elect Hoover. Individual achieve ments possibility is the best preventative against monopolizing prices in the future by catalogue houses and chain stores. The Fair Store home . recently.

This is approximately $28.30 a year, or eight cents a day. What a giant of power is the steam locomotive as ri thunders up the grade. Yet the roar of its exhaust tells the tale of tons of living steam that go to waste. In the generating plant of your electric light and power company are power giants of another kind softly humming turbines with the strength of a thousand loco tives on their shafts. Not so much as a wisp of steam escapes. Rather, each jet of steam is made to multiply its power four teen times. Not until the last ounce of its energy is exhausted is it released, and even then its 'heat is used to warm the water for the boilers. Every detail in the operation of your electric light and power com pany is planned to yield the ut most in efficiency and economy. That is why the modern electric motor can pull the load of other engines many times its size at but a fraction of their operating cost. That is why the modern factory and the modern home can take ad vantage of the electrical miracles of our scientifi cage at a cost which puts the power of electric ity within the reach of all. As daily it is put to ever wider use, the complete electrification of America approaches realization.
