Electricity and the Servant Problem.

Newer applications OF the electric motor are now
available for the household which. perhaps, are not
SO generally known. Electric dlshwashers can be
had, which relieve this necessary process OF al
Its drudgery. The electric iron greatly lightcns
the labor OF this part Of the work. Knife cleaners
and grinders can be had which are electrically
driven by a small motor. In fact. any household
appliance which requires turning can he driven
In the same way. Yet this does not by any means
cover the comforts to be had from the use OF this
small servant, for many other uses are being found
for II which contribute TO the comfort OF all. Flee
trio hair dries are now available for those who
need them. and electric Nbratofs for those whose
systems are benefited by such stimulation. II
will probably not be long before electric sweepers
can be purchased. which will not only make that
labor easy but entirely prevent stirring up of dust.
In fact. electricity bids fair TO convert the home
into a palace OF luxury and assist nightly In solvs

ONE SOLID LEAGUE.

There should be no necessity for in
tegral leagues within the limits of
city like Astoria. The word league is
a misnomer when used in any restricted
sense. 1t should stand for a broad and
wholesome unifcation Of the citizens OF
the community for her success and pro
gress along all lines and anything less
tells of Indifference and worse. A city
with all the God-given advantages pos
sessed by Astoria should have but one
league" the composite, eager, resource
full, vigilant and active citizenry that
never fails to see a good thing, 60 after
it, capture it, apply it, and brag about
it, as another of the city's commanding
attractions, or utilities; live and popu-
lar spirit that makes for the good Of the
community at all times and gets itself
talked about the world over. That's
what Astoria wants.

course, is a small amount when you
speak of pay day. But it will an

and illustrate. | noticed that a ma
jority Of the people as soon as they
received their money took the car
for Portland. Many Of them. no
doubt, went to the city to make
purchases with their ready cash.
II struck me this Is decidedly un-
fair to the home merchant who Is
ready to give credit to all who are
honest and reliable. | know you
can buy as cheap in ST. Johns as
you can in Portland. Just why
man will allow the home merchant
to give him credit from month to
month and then spend his ready
money in Portland is more than I
can conceive. Perhaps a majority
of these people do not know they
can buy at home as cheap as they
can elsewhere. And the home mer-
chants will carry anything for which
