shortly after Jack Frost makes his ap-
pearancep and San Francisco was de-
luged with rain. all Honolulu was alive
with the spirit sof festivity and jolli-
fication and through Il all there was
not an unpleasant incident recorded
to mar the success of the occasion.
Practically every business house in
the city was open until q late hour;
orchestras and bands pfayed here and
there and the citys Great White Way
and side streets, from Alakea to Nu-
uanu and from King to Beretania, lit

was not armed with q tin horn, tick

merry throng and the spirit Of Christ.
mas reigned unchecked. Automob iles,
carrying parties Of matchmaking cele-
brationists. passed along the streets
in countless numbers, the occupants
throwing confetti and streamers and
singing to the accompaniment of
screeching horns and ear-splitting rat
tiers. The celebration, lasted until
well into the morning. special cars
having been run by the Rapid Transit
Company to convey the merryIhakers
to their homes. A large force of POI
licemen was on duty in the city, be-
ing stationed at the street corners to
regulate the traffic and at other van
tage points and. as q result OF the
celebration, not one accident or un-
pleasant happening appeared the next
morning on the blotter at the central
station. y. =. 81: 2. sss

That Hawaii has been Disseminated against

fommittee was the belief voiced in these columns
i few days ago, following the action Of the com.
mittee in reducing Hawaii's representation in
national Republican conventions from six yot-
ING to two non-voting delegates The following
ftport Of what happened in washington on De-
telpber II confirms that belief It is from the
Associated Press: ~ .ss
The District Of columbia and Alaska were pro-
fided with two delegates each by separate action.
and the Philippines Porto Rico and Hawaii were
also given two each without ne right to vote
It Is evident that those Republican leaders

when successfully accomplished Is all the

that electricity and the devices operated

OF any bed will furnish a soft, pleasant
light for reading. a heating pad will sup
ply almost any degree of warmth just
where Il is necded-a toaster and liquid
heater will change the food from some
thing chilled by the time II has been
carried from tho kitchen. to a hot, appe-
tiEing luncheon prepared especially for
the patient. But this is not all. there Is
the luminous radiator for taking the chill
off the room and making IT more cheer
ful-the fan changing the air. and doing
away with the stagnant feeling-and the
ozonator for bringing pure mountain air
right into the sick room without enden-
gerlng the patient by drafts from open
windows.

"a very few years ago electricity meant

the Johnston Electric company.
This in itself was a convenience. Not
only was 1t convenient, but 1t was safe
clean, cool and healthful as well. The
housewife was not long in finding out the
advantages of electric light and adapting
it in her home.
but today electricity means a great
deal more than light--it also means heat
and power-and milady has again been
quick in adapting it to her household du-
ties.
Electricity will do the sweeping-the
electric vacuum cleaner does 1t quicker
and cleaner than the broom. This cleaner
not only cleans the carpet. but upholstery,

ELECTRICITY will do the washing-the do
mestic electric washing machine does not
require the back breaking work OF tthe
washboard. A switch starts II and IL
needs no further attention until the

washing machine quickly pays for itself.

ELECTRICITY will do the cooklng-the

"Do it Electrically"
Good Advice to Spug

Electrical shops in Omaha are making
attractive window displays for this holi-
day season and at night the gorgeously
decorated and lighted windows show up
to fine avantage At the Burgees-Gren-
den company store, 1911 Howard street.
a large Christmas tree fully lighted by
muitlcolored electric globes stands ma
iestically in tho window, and around II
are displayed electrical devices suitable
for gifts.
The Electric Shop at 1910 Farnam has
also prettily trimmed It's windows for
the season. and passersby are carefully
observing the practical value Of the many
things which are displayed there. The
"spug' idea and the slogan. DO 1t elec>
trically," go hand In hand, and the pub
lie is making more use OF things elec-
trical for Christmas gifts than ever be-
fore.

Electrical Current
is Getting Cheaper

Though II has been said times without
number II is always worth reteliing that
the cost OF electric service keeps coming
down while everything else is going up
Food shelter. clothing, luxuries-all cost
much more now than they did ten years
ago and none OF them has bettered in
quality. Ten years ago none OF the pub
lie utilities gave the service Il gives to-
day, and all OF them charged more for It.
For less money you can send more mes
