He rein!. Mr. and Mrs, Frank Ackerman came Wednesday from Kinzua where Mr. Ackerman has been em ployed since July at the carpenter trade. They visited at the home of Mrs. Ackerman's brother, Jack Gorham and family. Boardman is becoming quite a metropolis, as it boasts of street lights. These are a decided addi tion to the town, not to mention a great saving on the flashlight bat teries to the local people. Mrs. J. F. Barlow spent several days at Athena last week where she was called by the Illness of her daughter, Mrs. Truman Messenger. "Uncle Hank" Cramer had a ser ious attack last Wednesday and for a time it was thought that he would not survive, but on Thursday ha seemed to be as well as usual.

He is a brother of Frank Cramer and has made his home with them for more than 30 years. Miss Nellie Messenger was the honor guest at a lovely bridal show er given by Mrs. Chas.

The high school play, "Adam and Eva," under the direction of Miss Alice Falk was given Friday night at tne auditorium to a large house. The parts were all well taken but Walter Denson as Adam Smith and Nellie Dillon as Eva King were eas ily the stars of the play, although other members of the cast followed closely in their display of histrionic ability. Norma Gibbons made an attractive Julie DeWitt and playing opposite Alex A"rs as her husband. Vernon Root took the part of Uncle Horace Pilgrim, Alvie Mefford play ed the part of Dr. Delameter with Buster Rands as Sir Andrew Gor don. Both vied for the hand of Eva Carl Wicklander quite distinguish ed himself as Mr. King, the rich father. Gladys Wilson made a pert little maid and Linda Hango as Miss Abby Rocker, the maiden aunt, acted her part very well in fact all did well and that home-talent plays are always popular was shown by the crowd. One criticism was of fered and that was needless profan ity that was sprinkled throughout the play. Most of this could have been deleted or milder expletives substituted. The Rhythm band made its first appearance between the first and second act and was a splendid feature. The small folks under Mrs. Marschat's diligent training made a juvenile band that had real rhythm. They played two numbers, one by Howell and one by Gaynor, and Echo Coats as the petite little leader, made a tremen dous hit with the audience. Mr. and Mrs Marschat and Miss Henry sang several selections between the second and third acts. The trio is always popular and well received. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Ballenger and Maxene, and Miss Alice Falk mo tored to The Dalles and Hood Riv er Saturday. Mrs. Leslie Packard and Mrs. J. L. Jenkins have both been on the sick list this week with flu.

How many of these steps does elec tricity save you and at what cost? CLICK! ... The gate of the crowded elevator shuts. Like a bullet you are shot upward, and once again you get a sense of the tremendous mechanical power needed to make modern living possible. In a few brief seconds more work has been accomplished than twen ty men could do in an hour. And all by a small black Genie a pound of coal a lump no bigger than a man's fist transformed by the genius of science into elec tricity. To get every ounce of energy pos sible from each pound of coal de mands not only extensive research but unremitting care in the hand ling of intricate machinery. Coal must be tested and some times put through special pro cesses before it is used. Even an elemental thing like water must be measured, analyzed and treat ed is necessary, to insure just the right pressure on every boiler. It is because of such refinements that electric service in America is both efficient and cheap. As the modern housewife, like the mod ern manufacturer, makes full use of the advantages it brings the dream of the complete abolition of human toil through electricity comes ever nearer to its realization.
