MEDFORD GROCERY COMPANY
CHANGES TRAVELERS
January first B. P. Theiss, who has
been on teh rond for tho Medford
Grocery Co. sinco tho forming of tho
company, will bo succeeded by E. S.
Miller who -will cover the territory
which has been in charge of Mr.
Theiss up to this time.
Tho growing bnsincss of the com
pany has necessitated the addition of
a traveling salesman, so that Mr.
Theiss may have more time to devote
to tho local business and other af
the firm.
Be sure yon arc right boforo yon
go ahead, is good advice that applies
to the light business as well as othei
business. Electric light nas stood
the test of time as tho safost and
most economical licht and before
considering cheaper lights st the ex- j
perience of people who have ued
them several months at least. 240
THE LIGHT QUESTION

widhiug to oomo hero. Sloopor ao
oonnuodutlons and small nmountw of
onuh in oounooUon with (bono tiokotn
may i1ho bo forwarded nt tho nmuo
time." If
Tho boll has sounded tho knell of
korosone, gnsolino lights nnd other
fonus of incompotent illumination.
Aro you ready to quit themf
Haven't you tolerated them lonp
ouough?
There was a 'time whou buromjj
pitch faggots furnished tho only
means of artificial illumination folks
knew alont. And it was considered
sufficient.
Then camo tho tallow dip, and or
exybody discarded his pitch faggot
in disguest.
Tho tallow caudle was noxt to ox
ort its supremacy over tho tallow
dip, and folks wore glad.
Tho noxt step of development was
korosine lamps, and they in their
turn were welcomed as a ploasiug
stop in tho right direction.
Then camo tho gasolino lights,
which Jacksonville tnod and cast
into the junk pile several years ago.
And now aa a logical development
of science, wo have tho greatest of
all illuminante electricity.
Mnybo some day something will
replace electricity.
But tho probability isn't strong
enough to justify us in waiting for
it
No othor fonn of artifieiul' ilium
iunnt equals electricity in brilliancy,
safety, neatness, healthfulness, econ
omy nnd cheerfulness.
Elei trie Hghlin, units no fumes
or odors, and in tho roo hygenio light
for living roonu and I cd rooms.
Th fact (lint electric light con
sumes no oxygon, liko all open flntno
lights do, proves it to bo tho health
iest light known.
It keeps tho air as pure and wholo
somo aa if no light wore burning at
all.
The importance cf this, ono fenture;
is readily apparent when it is known i
that an open flame light bums more
oxygen, from a room, Uian four per
sons would breathe.
No matches. No dangorons, dirty
matches are needed in tho homo that
w electrically lighted.
No washing and filling of lamps,
no danger of explosions; no danger
of leaks; no plumber's bills; no Mek
oring flamo to bo blown out by a mid
den guBt of wind; no fine si.udge of
soot ocntinunlly emanating from
your light to bo rtopositcd on cur
tains, drnpenes, mit furnishing.
when yon want to flood your home
with light, simply turn tho button.
Think hard now don't you want it T

THE ROGUE RIVER LAND COMPANY
NO. 11 NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE
Offers an especially good foothill orchard for a lovr
priee and on good terms. In theso days of advancing
prices, it will pay to look into this.
It pays to deal with the "Man Who Kmrns." When
the Rogue River Land Company sold the Tronaon &
Guthrie orchard at Eagle Point to the prize winning
owners, four years ago, the salesman, W. M. Holmes,
assured the purchasers those Spitzenbergtrees would
produce the world's best apples, and subsequent eyents
prove the soundness of his judgment. By the way:
Did it ever occur to you that most of the men who have
won out in the Rogue River Valley, bought their win
ning orchards through, the Rogue River Land Com
pany? y
W. M. Holmes, Manager, is always at your service
for a good buy.

European forests bavo rocontly

pears In Immenso numbors and haa
caused serious damage, especially to
conifors. In Saxony means to abato
tho plaguo have bcon given particu
larly careful study, and th0 electric
light waB found to bo tho beat weap
on. It was noted that tho moths wcro
most actlvo botweon tho hours of 10
p. m. and 1 a. m. and It was during
theso hours that tho oloctrtc light
was omployod. In Zlttau'tho street
lights woro turned off at tho earlier
hour, and tho load of tho town elec
tric lighting plant thus rendered
avnllablo was used to oporato 40

ozch pair a powarful suction ven
tilator was stationed, having a plcco
of wire nottlnt, a fow inches beyond
tho outlet, Tho insects, attracted by
tho light, wor0 drawn Into tho von
tllator, and when discharged against
tho netting wero cither disabled or
killed, Tho beams from tho search
lights woro directed toward tho
neighboring forest, and Insects In
enormouB numbors woro attractod to
tho brilliant Bourco of light and final
ly Bucked In by tho vont'lator and
destroyed.
In tho porfected devlco, as finally
adoptod, two searchlights aro employ
ed, adapted for curronts from 30 amp,
to CO amp. and Bhlolded In front by
highly polished glass disks. In front

2800 cubic foot of air In tho samo
tlmo. Tho outgoing blast of air en
ters an opon box alongsldo, throo
sides of which arc- composod of wire
nottlng. In this tho moths moot tholr
fnto, and It Is emptied nB fast as their
bodlos acctimulato In such quantities
as to obstruct tho froo passago of tho
air blast.
Four o'f thCB0 dovlces woro Install
