' cetylene Light
L in a Modern Cow Barn
WE sell a great many Pilot Acetylene lighting plants
to dairy farmers. Because dairy farmers can get
even more out of an Acetylene installation than anybody else .
Our dairy farmer patrons make these Acetylene plants
do double work. They run an extra line of pipe to each
barn and sometimes to other outbuildings. In these
buildings they fasten the great balls of Acetylene light to
timbers and rafters.
They also equip these lights with ignition devices to
make them light with the pull of a chain without matches.
Two of these Acetylene barn lights will make a big dairy
barn as light as day. They will give more light than a
dozen lanterns and unlike lanterns, they cannot be tipped
over.
The same is true of Acetylene house lights. They burn
in handsome stationary bronze or. brass fixtures securely
fastened to ceilings or walls.
You can tell one of these Acetylene lighted dairy barns
from the road a quarter of a mile away. The light is
extremely brilliant. It is also soft and white in color so
nearly like sunlight that scientists have
success to grow plants on an extensive
These qualities make it a
cheerful light. Unquestion
ably it helps to keep the
whole household happy
and contented. Weak, dingy,
yellow lights, on the other
hand, just as surely tend to
make people dull spirited and
gloomy.
That is why we say Acetylene light is a mighty big help
towards keeping the country boys and girls from drifting
to the city.
o o o
Acetylene is too a boon to the women folks in another
way. In addition to the beauty of the light it brings
to the country home a great convenience in the gas cook
ing stove-

For acetylene can be and is used in gas cooking ranges in
thousands of country homes, just as its cousin, city gas, is
used in millions of city homes.
In every one of these homes the gas range has shortened
cooking hours and has done entirely away with the drudgery
of handling coal, wood and ashes.
You will be intensely interested in the simple mechanism
of the Pilot which makes it different from all other.', in
principle.
Its patent safety features have made it quite "trouble
proof." They have given such perfect satisfaction that we
have been able to sell no less than sixty thousand Pilot
plants in fifteen years.
With these sixty thousand plants working incessantly
in country homes, undergoing all kinds of misuse and abuse,
we have only heard of two accidents. During the same period
there has been over one hundred thousand accidents charged
to other illuminants.
For this reason the Engineers of the National Board of
Insurance underwriters called Acetylene safer than any
illuminant it commonly displaces.

MISS JANET ALLYN IN
"THE THIEF" PROVED
HERSELF GREAT ACTRESS
One of the most splendid shows
of the season was given last
evening at the Parmole theater
in the presentation of the great
problem play of Henri Bernstein,
VTh; Thief," and the strong and
forceful acting' of tbe company
was such as to keep the audience
stirred, with emotion from the
raise of the curtain until th' end
of the play, when the husband,
recognizing his own faults, de
parts with his wife for Brazil to
make a start anew. Miss Janet
Allyn, as the wife, was strong in
the tense situations that are
scattered throughout the produc
tion, ami JMiss Allyn was most
fortunate in having such an ex
cellent supporting company in
this very heavy drama. There
was a good sized audience pres
ent to witness the play and they
were all well pleased with the en
tire production. .Plays of this
kind are what go to restore the
confidence of the amusement-loving
public in the attractions ad
vertised at the theaters.

WHITE GIFT CHRIST
MAS FOR WHITE GIFTS
: FOR THE KING
Something Now in Christmas
Services at the Methodist
Church This Year.
The Sunday school board of the
Methodist church held a very en
thusiastic meeting' yesterday aft
ernoon at the church to arrange
for what is called a. White. Oift
Christmas for while gifts for the
King. This service is a trans
formation of the old custom of
receiving gifts and consists in
giving. The idea is something
new in Christmas services ami is
being adopted by the most pro
gressive schools of the country.
It is based on the lcgand of the
king of Cathey, upon the cele
bration of whose birthday his
subjects, arrayed iu while gar
ments, brought only white gift?
to the king and the king regard
ed not one gift bove another so
long as each was white. The giv
ing at this service will be of thro
kinds self, service and sub
stance each member of the
school and church will receive a
little envelope containing a leaf
let containing' suggestions for
giving along those lines. It is
expected to mak' the service one
of devotion and worship becom
ing the birthday of the King of
Kings.
The different classes of the
church are planning upon inak
inir substantial and timely gifts
to the needy ami worthy of the
city on the Christmas day, in
keeping with a spirit of reverence
for the event and for the aid of
those who have been unfortunate
iu their struggles with the world.
The program arranged to be
given on Christmas eve will be in
keeping with tbe spirit of the oc
casion and will be an exception to
the usual service, as il will bo
without Ihe usual Santa Clans
and the clap-trap incident ial to
these services.
The smaller children have not
boon forgotten and a Christinas
party has boon planned for all
those 8 years old and under, in
cluding the cradle' roll, beginners,
primary ami iuterinl'diate depart
ments. The parly will be held on
Wednesday afternoon. December
2 5. in the church parlors, and
will be in charge of Miss Zelma
Tuey. The Christmas tree and a
dainty treat has boon prepared
for the occasion and it is hoped
I make the plans outlined one
that will lift Ihe celebration of
Christinas by the Sunday school
to a higher plane and more in
keeping with the day. The pro
gram will be in charge of Mrs. E.
H. Wescolt.
