A: Card Of Thanks

To our friends who so kindly said a few words in our behalf, and we will aim to make new friends by giving good service to the old ones.
 Never betore were we better equipped to do so than at present.
 The increasing cost of living is a recogized uni versa1 condition. The price of every commodity which enters into the everyday life of the peo- pie appears to have ad- vanced.
 The one notable excep- tion which we wish to call to your attention, it is Electricity. Two reas- ons may be stated for the resulting decrease in the cost of electric light to the consumer: First--bet- torment of central station machinery and methods. Second---i improvement in the incandescent lamp.
 We have always striv- en to give our customers the benefit of any in- crease in efficiency, with the result that you are getting today three times as much light for the same money that you did ten years ago.
 This is made possible by the use of Mazda" lamps wherein you now get 32-cand1e power for the same price that you formerly paid for sixteen, and the development of water powers that were going to waste until made to help mankind by the aid of local and outside capital. And we feel req sonab1y sure that all fair minded men will give that from the states an ever break with that of local.
 Many people are still using the carbon owing to the differ ence in first cost of the two lamps; but when you stop to think that for 40 cents you can get a Mazda lamp that will give you 34.2 candIe-power of light, as contrasted with 16.8 candle-power from a 50 watt lamp.

POLI'S THEATER


 Tonight is the big Turkey night at the Poli new theater on Main street. With turkeys and chickens for distri- button among. those patrons in the audience who are fortunate enough to secure them before the big supply is exhausted, there will be keen spir- it of hope and rivalry inspired.
 Before thias big. offering is made, and afterwards there will be the usual large six. act show, supplemented, by reels of the finest, most expensive and best acted pictures, which have been taken and, are again projected with a view towards preventing eye strain, or that disagreeabIe hickering motion which is found so objection able. And with perfect ventilation, commodfous and comfortable seats, where more enjoyment will be found at picture shown than at the big PoH theater. The performance this. week includes the famous grille act entitled .tThe Minstrel Kiddies.'' This ensemble of freshness is most remark direct from one of the famous Broad way musical comedies, and when it is known that not one is over IT years old, the Hthness, gracefu1ness and brilliance of feature and motion will be accounted for. On the bill and performing remarkable feats of sing ing, dancing, fencing and juggling, as well as eccentric novelty, are Vic torine & Zolar, Schroede & Mulvey, Lonzo Cox, Maley & Woods and Wd1- lie Hale and brother. A two reel film, '"The Escape of Jim Do1an," adds an attractiveness to this collection of fun and inspiring novelty which makes full evenings enjoyment at popular prices,
