Even child can safely operate Modern
Electric Range Not only because no matches
are ever needed and no fumes are present, but
because of the fact that the Modern Electric
Range is so simple to use. A mere snap of the
switch gives you fast heat. A precision clock and
temperature control make it possible for you
to do your cooking even while you are away
from home. They regulate the cooking tenn
perature and turn the current only when
needed.
AS the result of an actual analysis of electric
service bills rendered to our many customers now
using Electric Cookery, we know that the aver
age family uses this most modern kitchen servant
for less than So per month.
You, too, should modernize your kitchen with
an Electric Range. Your electrical dealer will be
glad to give you every detail of its superiority
without obligation. See him today!

Our Leonardtown
Correspondent

! LEONARDTOWN, Md, Ang. 16
For the nineteenth year the
''Showboat" made famous in
Edna Ferber's novel, is in Leon
ardtoWn and far and wide there
is great rejoicing, as this annual
visit is anxiously awaited by the
populace all over Southern Mary
land, Virginia and Delaware.
One reason why Leonardtown
takes a keener interest is that
"Queenie" and "Joe" the negro
characters in the book, are real
and natives of Leonardtown and
still alive. Miss Ferber wrote her
novel while living on board this
boat.
A tug pulls the large boat,
built inside like real theater
auditorium, from wharf to wharf
along the boats trips. Miss
Ferber also, it is claimed, helps
select the seasons plays. The
receipts on the last night are
given either to the Leonardtown
Volunteer Fire Department or
the. st. Mary's Hospital.
With no early trains to catch,
meals served on board, and the
bsleeping quarters on the same
HBhip, makes life really worth
while for the actors, and when
zone gets hot they can jump off
fhe boat into the water and cool
ADff. 1t seats around $50 persons,
Rnd each night is packed with
Aarge crowds.
