prices which that work calls for. Con

obtained by the active contestant from
families who aro already satisfied
patrons ot the Kimball,
Moreover there are many homes In
which the drudgery of wash 'day la en
dured simply because they do not fully
understand just how easy and economical
t Is to send the washing to a thoroughly
modern ahd efficient laundry, as Is tho
KlmbatL Here, then, 'is tho opportunity
for the contestant to do some good work,
both for himself and for the pecnlo
who are not availing themselves ot the
Kimball laundry service, by pointing
out to them Just how work, worry and
money can bo saved by sending the
washing to tho Kimball, and thus secure
the votes to which the paid bills from
these customers would entitle them.
"You will be delighted when you open
the package," Is a slogan which the
Kimball Jaundry employ to accurately
convey the satisfied feellngt comes to

Maohinery Hall at
Exposition Biggest
Wooden Building
An army of laborers Is working- a trans.
formation In the grounds ot tho 1915
Panama-Paclflo International exposition
and In view of tho progress that Is being
made In the construction of the exhibition
palaces, It la certain that the buildings
will be completed several months In ad.
vanco of the opeplng ot the great fair.
One of the most Interesting pieces of con
struction work now going on Is In Ma
chinery halU The huge structure Is
crossed each way by a series ot lofty
' naves, IK feet high, while tho heght of
the bulldng from the floor to the roof
Is 135 feet. The ornamentation Is being
placed on tho exterior of Machinery hall.
It consists ot a cement composition
! called Imitation Travertine stone. It Is
a faint ivory yellow In color, several
i shades removed from white, and at a
distance presents the appearance of white.
In the brilliant sunlight this shade will
i not be as glaring upon the eyes as pure
White Is.
gome Idea of tho Immensity of the
building may be gathered from the fact
that while It la a wooden building, the
largest In the world, t will require 1.500
Ions of hardware In 1U construction, such
as nails, bolts, Joint plates, and the like.
On October 1 the building was 0 per
cent completed.
Fleets ot steamers are unloading lumber
at the exposition docks. More than
40,000,000 feet of lumber have been de
livered of tho required amount of 70,000,00)
feet As many as nine steamers dis
charge cargoes at on time.
A Gift You Know
Will Be Appreciated
No longer is it desirable to give a pretty
trifle, that will be cast aside tho day after
Christmas the day of the useful gift is
here. Nothing will givo more pleasure to
the housewife than a gift of an Electric Flat
Iron. It will iron better, in less time and
with less labor than any other method.
An Electrical Gift Will Please!
