Answer:
ELECTRICITY

Look at the chart above. The upper line
represents living costs as far back as
including rent food. clothing.
household furnishings. etc. Notice the
mountain peak during the first World
War. and the rising slope during the
present ar.These upward curves mean
money out Of your pocket. You pay
more and more for the things you buy.
Now look a, the bottom line OF the
chat-the one headed steadily down
ward. That is the average price OF
your residential electricity since 1914.
Thanks to rate reductions and increased
use. your average price OF electricity is
LESS today than before the war. II is
lower in price than even during the
depression in 1882. And ii is only hall
the price you paid during the last war.
Electricity is cheap.

PITCHERS PUT UP
FIGHT IN S0FTBALL

Thursday night. in the Juneau
Softball League, the Signacs defeat
ed the Support in a pitchers battle,
80. This was the hardest fought
battle this season and was anybody's
ball game up to the last out Sen
escu of the Signacs allowed only
three hits and Kistner of the Sub
port gave up five hits. In the first
inning the Signacs scored two runs
on singles by Sundsten. Senescu and
Tennyson. In the second inning
Bradley got on first by walk and
consecutive singles by Burkette and
Perry brought him around, complet-
ing the scoring. The SUPPORT threat
ened in the third inning but Mueller
was tagged out at home on a close
play to end the rally.
In the second game the Coast
Guard led by the stellar pitching
of Tonilin defeated the City team
5 to l. Tomlin in his second time
on the mound this season showed
fine control and should develop into
one of the leagues leading hurlers.
Henning turned in a workman
like job for the City team but poor
ball handling caused his downfall.

Guard being unearned.

In looking over the possible tim
Der for ball team the other day
the Chamber of Commerce was
struck with the fact that what
Major General Hershey had left
them was similar to the choice OF
vanilla" The surprising thing is
that they were able to muster as
many potential players as they did
CHANGING down the list of the two
teams one is Immediately impress
ed by the fact that the two teams
seem to be about equal: equally
bad. That, at least, promises to
make the game worth the price Of
admission: one war bond.
Batteries for the two sides
haven't as yet been picked, that
will come later after a few practice
games determines which men can
see from the pitchers mound to
the home plate. The catcher will
not be important because 1t is
rather doubtful if he will be kept
very busy.
The umpire for the game has
been selected and Minard Mill,
having the least friends on either
team and being in business that
didn't make much difference how
he called them, has kindly con-
sented to do that chore.
June % was picked for the day
OF the game because 1t is the long
est in the year and it will need
mighty long day to get in seven
innings. The Empires entire sports
staff will be on the grounds to
cover the game for the various
press associations and KINY will
carry the CORY details to all the

Tickets will soon be on sale and
can be purchased from any mem
