SOON TO COMPLETE WORK ON
THE LOCAL ELECTRIC LINES

The improvement of it's distributive
system by the local electric light COM
pany is expected to be complete about
July A. For weeks the company has
had squad of men scattering the
transformers throughout the city. The
transformers were formerly pretty

advisable to place them at more dis
tant intervals to facilitate general
service. New poles and heavier wires
are being placed where necessary not
only to improve the service but to
cut down the power lossej in the pro-

is conceded to be about the strongest

game as sure to be seen. The local
lineup has also been materially
strengthened during the past week or

capable of playing to finish any of
the lineups of this vicinity.
The local team now needs a little
support from the local people in the

game. They hope to have a larger
turnout to the games in the future,
especially those on the home grounds.

The average small manufacturer

dies in the same time in which Stude-
baker builds $4,000 has to charge
each body $40 for die cost. The diff
ference of $1S is in the price but not
in the body. The customer pays it
but he gets nothing tangible for it.
It is one of the penalties of uneco-

Thus a car priced at 81, 200 to 81 400
can be sold as low as $l045 when
