Electric Lighting In the Home.
A well lighted homo dispels the

Nothing conduces so much to

Electricity plays it part, with no
uncertain hnnd, in tho wolfnro of our
boys and girls.
But thnt isn't tho whole story by
any manner or means.
Electric lighting in your home is
ncnt, handsome, nnd clean. It dif
fuses n steady, even light, unaffected
'by draughts, and offoring tho easiest
light, known, on tho eye for rending.
No shndows.
Unliko all other lights, it casts no
shadows, whatever, but sheds it bril-,
liancy in all directions, unimpeded by !
fixtures or brnckets. No heat. i
And in tho summer time, you who !
hnvo felt the withering heat in the
home, have not thought kindly of
your gasoline or lnmp light, which
hns seemed to join forces with the

THE ROGUE RIVER LAND COMPANY
NO. 11 NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE
Offers an especially good foothill orchard for a low
price and on good tonus. In these days of advancing
prices, it will pay to look into this.
It pays to deal with the "Man Who Knows. " When
the Rogue River Land Company sold tho Tronson S;
Guthrie orchard at Eagle Point to the prize winning
owners, four years ago, the salesman, W. M. Holmes,
assured the purchasers those Spitzenhergtrees would
produce the world's best apples, and subsequent events
prove the soundness of his judgment. By the way:
Did it ever occur to you that most of the men who have
won out in the Rogue River Valley, bought their win
ning orchards through the Rogue River Land Com
pany? Y. M. Holmes, Manager, is always at your service
for a good buy.
