No matter how any of these

JUST LIKE HIRING
ALL 13 MEN FOR
ABOUT 3< AN HOUR
your housework for about 3<* an hour.
(We don’t mean one man for 3f;
we mean all thirteen.)
You reallv are that lucky. For it
would actually take thirteen skillful
huskies to match the sen ice you get
from electricity for the same pittance!
It’s easy and perfectly natural to
take electric service for granted. Sim-
ply hv plugging in you produce the
i miracle of light—cold for refrigera-
tion—power for cleaning and wash-
ing—heat for cooking toasting iron-
ing. Not to mention the mill.on
dollars worth of entertainment your
radio brings you.
Yet half of our customers pav only
* seven cents a day or less for electric
service. Almost all of them use at
least three appliances. Many cus-
tomers who use five or more appli-
ances pay no more than ten cents a
dav !
W’hv is electricity so cheap? First
because of our economies in operation
and second because of your increased
use of electricity. These have brought
the price of electricity steadily down
to where most customers get about
twice as much electricity today as
thev got a doren years ago for the
same money. The average unit price
is only about half of what it was.
Moreover sou automatically cut
your own rate every time you use
more. The more sou use the lower
the price.
W’e of Central Power and Light
Company are proud of these accom-
plishments. W’e pledge that as in the
past we will continue our work of
bringing you more and better electric
service ... at less cost to you.

SAMMY HALE
ISSTILLATU
Veteran Player Head
Of Westex Club
MIDLAND——He's past <4 and
has been pounding the base paths
for almost a quarter of century—
but Sammy Hale still can play a lot
of third base.
Out here in the West Texas-New
Mexico League Hale cavorts like a
rookie half his years but the feel
of those aging legs tells him he soon
will hang up his glove.
But you wouldn’t know it from
the grandstand. Hes Just finished
hitting .357 and fielding .917 as
playing manager of the Midland
Cowboy*. And he plans to be back
next season doing the same.
First Signed In 1917
Hale signed his first professional
contract in 1917 with San Antonio
of the Texas League. He went to
the majors playing with Detroit.
Philadelphia and St. Louis of the
American League and compiling a
batting average of 309
He piled up a fortune but the
stock market crash of 1929 earned
it away about the time he began the
drop down the baseball ladder.
The West Texas-New Mexico lea-
gue. a Class D circuit that Hale
says is “as good as any Class
league." is the lowest classification
In which he has played. But he
hopes to get back to Class AA ball
not as a player but as a manager.
Hale Is Popular
Hale Is popular with both players
and fans and if good will can put
him back up the ladder he's on his
wav says League President Milton
Price.
Hsle stands ace high with Claude
C Duffev. an oil man who owns the
Midland club.
Price says there is a strong pos-
sibility Duffev will buy Hsle a fran-
chise and set him up in the base-
ball business.
“It certainly would suit the folks
in this league." Price declared.

REDS GET EDGE
ON FLAG FIGHT
Mound Superiority Is

NEW YORK— Oft—'The Cincin-
nati Reds with Paul Derringer and
Buckv Walters rested and full of

pitching edge over either the De-
troit Tiger* or the Cleveland

Some might like to argue the
point particularly tho«e who regard
Young Bob Feller of the Indians

ovbious to this observer at least
considering all the factor*.
