r WORLD'S GREATEST BARGAIN! HE greatest. bargain of all is the sight-saving, time-saving, laborsaving commodity we call electricity. Despite: constantly increasing costs and the importance of higher and higher taxes our rates have steadily declined. The "light bill" of the average home on our lines is no longer that. It is an electric service bill for light, for washing and ironing, for radio entertainment, for house cleaning. In hundreds of homes it also includes automatic cooking and automatic hot water. : Today the average customer palys 45%, less per unif (the kilowathour) than he paid ten years ago. Ten years ago his bill was mainly for light—today he receives all these additional services and yet his total bill has not increased appreciably. Truly, Electricity is the World"s Greatest Bargain. ~ _

| TR Sl 8 Townsend ot Indiana’s 1937 Falr enoMßs———r ¢ < 3 o G ed & Ry GOV. M. C. TOWNSEND After serving four years ss Commissioner of Agriculture and active head of the Indiana State Fair, Governor Townsend said today that it is only natural that be held more than usual interest in the annual Hoosier exposition and predict that the 1087 renewal will be: bigger and better from every angle. _ Removed from active conneection with the expesition by his elevation to the state’s chief executive position, Governor Towngend refuses, however, to allow himself to get out of touch with the Fair, He holds high hopes that the 85th annual exposition to be held this year Sept. 4th to 10th, inclusive, will exceed the 1986 Fair in attendance. A new record was set last year when 865,961 persons viewed the exhibits, but according to Governor Townsend all records are made to be broken and he sets the goal, he hopes will be attained, at 400,000 this year. In serving four years as Commisstoner “of Agriculture, Governor Townsend spent much time in making the $8,500,000 exposition space the most beautiful and efficient as an exhibition grounds in the world. During the past year he has lended every moral support to Henry F. Schricker, present Commissioner of Africulture. and the Indiana B_oardTo Agriculture in continuing that improvement and beautifying program. Referring to the fair as “The Show Window of Progress,” Governor Townsend urged. every citizen of Indiana to make every effort to attend the expesition at least two or three days. He maintains that much time is required to view all the exhibits and to fully realize just what the grand old state of Hoosierdom- pos- . sesses and produces.

Unusually familiar with fair work, after 20 years as secretary of his home county fair, and several years as member of the Indiana Beard of Agriculture, Mr. Morris expressed & feeling today that the Indiana State Fair, Sept. 4th to 10th, inclusive, will 'be the outstanding exposition in the 85 years existence of the Fair.

Each holds a desire to produce prize winners, whether it. be. in- live stock, horticulture or home economics. The keen. rivalry that is donlgx ing each nym among Hoosler exhi ons is reflecting in attendance, With more prosperity in existence s record breaking turnout is anticipated $o pass through the turnstiles and see what Indiaps has, produced in com- | parison with other states, Mr. Morriy said ; Mr. and Mrs. Phil Gresn of San Diego,.
