is expected that both will be completed
within ninety days, after which time
24-hour service will be maintained in
Newport. Work on the transmission
line has been delayed by the company's
inability to secure delivery on the ma
terial required, but as all material has
now been delivered and all necessary

sub station at Standpoint will be COM

to have the power completed and in
operation within eighteen months.

They Didn,t Have to chanue.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is con-
spicuous exception. It was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any one can af-
ford it and SO nourishing that every
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur-
ance of muscle and brain.
The Quaker Oats Company meets
all demands in the way it packs
Quaker Oats; regular size packages
and the large size family package;
the latter both with and without
china. 4

Jack Johnsos has made known to his

Anyone that says We are going to
fake the fight on account of the NOV

that's ALL" was the way the colored
champion introduced the subject.
Everybody l have met asked me
whether or not the fight will drag
out 10 or IL rounds on account of the
pictures Well, the fight will last that
long, but not because It has been fix
ed or will be fixed that way.
II am not foolish enough to think
that / can knock out Jeffries in the
first round or two. l am equally pos
tive that he can't do it to me, and
that is why I say that the fight won't
be over inside IL rounds"

said:
"If Jeffries can get back to the

the championship, He struck time
when there were no really big men.
I am certain he would never have
