The Rose Festival As sociation officers and manager are arranging to sell a seat for $1.10 that would sell ordinarily for $3.30 —and will then give the entire net profits to financing and stimulat ing morals among the armed forces of the United States. It is promised that a royal court will 'be selected, supported by a junior court, and that a program of rare interest will be ready when )he "roses come home in June”. "This is one time when we don’t care if it rains,” said President George W.

WHU iailM King’s Grocery and Market “Where Your Money Buys More” Phone 91 At the Mile Bridge, Riverview Electricity Will Help Have you been asked to produce more pro ducts in less time and with less help? Let’s smile and do it. In some countries you would be told, not asked, and your products would be taken, not bought. Electricity will help you solve lots of your time and labor problems. Let it do all or some of the following jobs: Brood your chickens automatically, light your henhouse and warm the chicken’s drinking water to produce more eggs, run your motors for feed grinding, machine sharpening, and water pump ing, run the milking machine, save labor and time around the farm, and give refrigeration for cool ing milk, thereby raising the grade. It will also give you entertainment by oper ating your radio and by doing many of the petty jobs around the home such as ironing, sweeping, mixing, cooking, water heating, and in fact, al most anything you want done can be done elec- trically. The latest electrical appliance is, of all things, an electric tooth brush.
