THE UNION-RECORDER. MILLEDGEVILLE, CA., JULY 27. 1*35

decision. It was the New York Yan

pounce upon the opposing pitcher
and score anywhere from seven to
ten runs in one ining. The Blues
seemed to do just the same thing.
But alas, during the disastrous road
trip of last week,' they seemed
us to be more like the Atlanta

the poor Crackers. However
not at ali despondent. All ball clubs
have their slumps, and Milledgeville
is no exception to this rule. We still
believe the Blues are going to *p «p
out of it, go on a winnig streak,
and regain the league leadership.
CHUNKERS NEEDED
We know very litlte about the
inner workings of baseball, having
little more than the spectators point
of view as to how a ball club should
be run, but it seems to us that the-
Milledgeville club has dearth of
pitchers especially in view of the
fact that the team is now playing
ox games weekly. Milledgeville'*
four starting hurlers are among the
best in the loop, but a six day sche
dule is a heavy burden for them to
carry The season has about five
more weeks to run and we certain

scout around and rustle up one more
curler, preferably a south paw, be

Can you flroet tho day’s end with a smile? Ara you rooted and ready to enjoy
those happy hours with tho family In the evening after the day’s work Is done?
EVERY WOMAN wants
an electric refrigerator and
now’s the time, of all times, to
get it. Prices are low, quality
is the highest ever. Full-fla
vored foods of healthful pu
rity, dainty desserts, spark
ling ice cubes and all the other
numberless advantage^ of elec
tric refrigeration are available
to the average family for less
money-a-day than it takes to
buy a spool of thread.
The modem automatic elec
tric range has set free thou
sands of Georgia women who
formerly were chained to the
old-fashioned coal or wood
‘range. Think of putting your
evening dinner on at noon and
forgetting it until meal-time,
when it’s ready and waiting,
done to a delicious turn! Just
think of the extra time it
means! (Incidentally, it will
cook the food at an average
cost of a penny per meal per
person.)
Nothing in this modern world
can contribute more to woman’s
peace and contentment than
ample, efficient help from electric
service in the home. No treasures
of the olden days could give more
comfort and pleasure than the
labor-saving and leisure-bringing
devices which electric service
makes possible for you.
Visit your electrical dealer or
our nearest store today. Discover
for yourself how easy it is to
own the appliances that take the
work out of housework. Find out
how little it costs to run them.

LOWER wage than any other
help you ever hired.

Take water pumps, for in
stance. Many a Georgia
woman, in the smaller towns
and on the farms, was doomed
to waste her strength drawing
and carrying water from the
well until electric service came
along to relieve her of this
drudgery. And the electric
current for a modem water
pump costs only about two
cents a day for the average
family. That’s less than it
costs to mail a letter.
Kitchen, living-room, any-
room owns its own breezes
when an electric fan is doing
its Summertime work. It
seems foolish to suffer from
the heat when an electric fan
wil run as long as twenty
aolid hours on only a nickel’s
worth of current, doesn't it?
And there are many, many
other tilings that electric serv
ice can do for you which are
just as simple, just as valu
able and just as cheap!
