Anyway, they will not be put to any more trouble than is necessary. 'The only shut-downs we know of at present will be a week from next Sunday, when the town will be “dead” electrically all day. On this day not even the churches will be supplied with juice, and those who do their cooking on electric stoves are advised to do it on Saturday and eat it cold on Sunday. It is 17 years since the present sys- tem was installed, and the longest an- anticipated- service without overhaul is 20 years.

We understand production has not yet got i l l 1 under way, and it will be a few days yet before the smaller agencies are sup- plied. Smith Bros. expect to have a car on their floor next week. The Ford this year is longer than the last year’s model, being 106 inches. It is to be manufactured on a produc- tion scale, and the bodies in both the _8s and the 45 are the same. “Lift out !the eight and put in the four, is all that is necessary for the change,” said the representative to the Chronicle.
