C, about March first, when he will be estub Hulled in . the General Electric company's patent dopartniont and low offices, "Electricity! The Foe of Drudgery" Says Mrs. John D. Sherman ' President, General Federation of Women's Clubs ' . - w "Electrically equipped homes, mean happier and more healthful homes. The cost of electrically operated labor- reduction devices is offset many times by the saving, the increased efficiency, tho protection to health and the con tribution to the general well-being of the family of such devices." T HE constructive efforts of the forward-looking electric power companies of the United States have released an ever-increasing number of women from the ex acting duties of the household to more congenial and interesting pursuits of life. Every new electrical invention finds an abundance of power ready to serve it. Through the enterprise of these companies, inspired by individual initiative, electric power plants and service facilities are being constructed five years in advance of consumer demand. Since 1900, the capac ity of these plants has been doubled every five years. Keenly alert to their social obli gations, these electric power companies have not been con tent to rest on the expansion of their facilities. The most expert, highly skilled and highly trained technical personnel in the whole field of industry is working for the betterment of electrical ser vice and the reduction of it3 cost. As a result of this sense of trus teeship, the average home today enjoys the comforts and conven iences of electricity at a cost of only a few cents per day. Operating under the American principle of individual initiative, and working in the interests of the public, these specialists in science, engineering, finance and administration constitute one of society's greatest forces in the promotion of a freer, more en lightened and abundant life. In the continued support of this principle lies America's assurance of all that makes for progress, prosperity and cultural opportunity.

He was greeted with loud jeers. The bantam rooster mounted a table and started a speech. "I'm leaving," Gordon Lillie announced after a while. Down the street he encountered the pathetic figure of Jeff Harrison's son, Anthony. He was waiting outside the Big Buf falo. Despite the timidity he always felt at approaching the proud little fellow, -Gordon spoke to him. "Waiting for your daddy, Tony? ., The boy nodded and turned away. Lillie smiled at this evi dence of an independent spirit and entered the saloon. The place was blue with tobacco smoke. The professional drone of lookout and croupier rose above the voices of those packed around the roulette layout; nearby was a faro bank and close to the door five men sat at a1 table playing poker. Lillie caught himself with a start as he recognized one of the players as Tom Benton and another as' Jeff Harrison. Benton was in his usual bad temper. The pile of chips in front of him was small and as Lillie watched he, flung down his hand and glared at Harrison. "Wish 1 was as lucky as some people," he cried. Something in the man's tone, ugly, imputative, struck harshly on Harrison's ear. Without changing expression, he said, "If it's. not your night you can quit, you know." He stacked the chips in front of him, adding them to his already numerous neat piles. "I'm not quittin'," Benton declared surlily. "Luck's bound to change, Tom," a man behind him said It was one of his companions of the restaurant. Lillie walked away from the table, glad somehow that Jefi Harrison was winning. He watched the faro game for a while, but his interest lagged and the restless feeling within him would not subside. His eyes roved about the saloon. It was doing a thriving business. Men lined the bar two deep. The place rang with laughter and loud talk. "Say, when's CaldweH gonna get another marshal)" "Don't know," said the bartender. "They seem to have some difficulty stayin' alive. You want the job?" Gordon Lillie turned away with a smile. A lawless place, this Caldwell, yet something stirred in him as he contemplated the scene about him. Adventure was in his blood and here it was in the raw. He stopped again at Harrison's table, taking his place be hind Benton. Jeff Harrison was dealing and as Benton picked up his cards, one by one, Lillie felt something akin to a shiver creep up his spine. Benton had picked up four jacks. He saw the man's wrists stiffen; then Benton leaned back in his chair, assuming nonchalance, but with a wary eye on Harrison, al most directly opposite. The player on Benton's right tossed a solitary chip in the center. Benton raised, not for the limit of five dollars as Lillie had expected, but for two.' rThey all stayed. Benton lay back again and watched the draw with slitted eyes, his gaze never once leaving Harrison's hands as, the handsome, dark-eyed gambler dealt. - . ; . : 1 he man on Harrison s left took one card, the opener three. Benton said, "Deal to the next man," when Harrison paused in front of him. The next player whistled. "Pat I" he ex clnimed. "Give me three cards." "Dealer takes three," announced Harrison in an even voice. - "I'll let the rfnt hand"3o"the betting." remarked the opener. Benton shoved some chips in the center. "Five dollars." The man on his left threw in his hand. Harrison, however, to Lillie's surprise, tossed in ten dollars' worth of chips. A pleased light crept into Benton's narrowed eyes, as. he watched the other players drop. His hand trembled as it fondled his chips. "Your five and five better." Harrison's eyes were dark, expressionless pools. Once more he raised. Benton's stack was almost depleted. , He fum bled at his belt and brought forth a little sack, from which he poured some gold pieces. "I'd like.V he said, "to buy some more chips, if you," indicating Harrison, "ain't got any objections, I'd like to raise the limit." Harrison inclined b dark head. "You can remove it com pletely if you like." At sight of the little sack, Benton's companions, both of whom stood near Lillie, exchanged a quick warning look. Ben ton smiled. "Ain't no use buyin' chips. Here," counting out the gold pieces, "is my pile. There's five hundred there. If you want to call it you kin. If it's too much for you, you might want to call part of it." Contempt edged his voice." "I'm calling all of it," Harrison said quietly, and for just one fleeting second a look of alarm crept into the slitted gray eyes of Tom Benton. Then, slowly, he spread his hand on the table. "Four jacks," he said. Harrison, exposing his own hand, said quietly, "Mine s higher." He held four kings. The tableau held for a moment; then occurred the drama that Gordon Lillie was not to forget as long as he lived. Ben ton looked nt Harrison's cards, amazement and incredulity written on Jus face. Then he transferred his gaze to his suc cessful opponent, who was raking in the money and chips. His face clouded; with a loud bang he crashed his huge fist on the table. . ' Harrison looked up inquiringly, a slight smile playing on his lips, and the smile goaded Benton to fury. "I said a little while back." he littered, trying to keep his voice level, "that I wished I had some people's luck. I'm not so sure it's luck. He folded his arms and ghired at the other. Harrison paused in the act of gathering in the stakes. "I'm not so sure I know what you mean," he said calmly. Benton laughed mockingly, at the same time rising and backing away from the table. "You dealt and drew three cards. Ask anyone in here what chance a man has of making fours by drawing to a pair." A red flush stained the gambler's handsome face. Other than that there was no sign of emotion. Quietly he looked into Benton's eyes, and Gordon Lillie's heart sank. He knew in stinctively that Benton's hand had closed about the butt of a six- shooter the moment he had folded his arms. If Harrison made n threatening move it meant his death. Didn't Harrison know it? He started to cry out as he saw Harrison's hand go toward his left breast, but in the same moment he heard a boyish voice behind him and was aware that Tony Harrison had come in. At the sound of the boy's "Daddy!" Harrison's eyes wavered. In that instant Benton fired. (To be continued.) Men quarrel and kill in Caldwell and ride south to No Man's Land. Read the next chapter. ROSEBURG AND MEDFORD PLAY . TO 7 TO 7 TIE (Continued from page 1.) of the time yelling themselves hoarse. It was a fight all of the time, yet It was one of the clean est games to be seen on the local field this year, ami after the game the players of the two teams ex hibited their sportsmanship by forming immediate friendships and each of the Koseburg players took his opponent into his own home for a meal and visit over night. Roseburg Starts Drive The game started with Roseburg kicking off. Medford got away with a 10-yard pass, after two line bucks had failed und Roseburg then spilled a triple lateral pass, forcing Medford to a punt. Rose hurg then carried the ball back to the center of the field with a ser ies of line bucks that gave them three successive first downs. Then 111 the center of the field with fourth down and only a yard to go Roseburg threw safety lo the winds and tried to buck the ball over and failed only by an inch. Hut Medford fumbled and RoHe burg recovered the ball on her own 40-yard line. For the rest of the quarter It was a nlp-and tuck game with Roseburg keeping the ball in Med ford territory. Ab the quarter nenred Its end Roseburg again drove down towards the Medford line but lost the ball on downs and Medford punted otit. As the second quarter opened it was Roseburg's ball on Medford's 45 yard line. A split buck was good for 10 yards, and the same play from the 35-yard line gave Roseburg the first touchdown. Kntler converted the goal with a perfect drop kick, while ttie line and backfleld blocked out the Med ford team to a man, giving the kicker all the time he needed. This made the score 7 to 0. Medford Scores Mcdfnrd did not wait long to even up the score, opening up with a brilliant attack Immediately. A reverse piny went through the Roseburg team for 40 yards and then took the ball to the Rose burg 22-yard line, where Entler, playing safety for Roseburg, made the tackle. Medford tried through the Roseburg line and failed to gnln and theti went through on an other reverse that scored a touch down. They completed a pass over the line to cover the goal. That ended the scoring although each team tried desperately dur ing the last of tho half and In all of the third quarter the playing was almost entirely In the middle of the field. The teams tried every men or football, but the defensive tactics of each team were : excep tionally good. Medford nulled the crowd to its feet In the opening of ine third quarter, when a Rose burg pass waH Intercepted and run back to Rosehm-K'H HO-vard line. hut the local boys drew up their goal defense nnd shoved the Invad ers back to the 40-yard line. Med ford ugaln invaded Roseburg's ter ritory In that quarter, falling by Ioks than six Inches to penetrate to tho Koseburg goal. A long com pleted pass, and a line buck car ried tlie ball from Roseburg's 35- ynrd line to the 5-yard line. There Roseburg stiffened her defense nnd Medford drove with all her might at the line and on the fourth down the ball rested just six Inches inside the field. Goal Attempt Fails Roseburg punted out of dnnger ami then after holding Medford to downs opened up 'With an attack that started in the center of the field. A pass was good for a 12 yard gain and with a minute and a half to go the local players bucket!

COUGH'OR COLD THAT-HANGS ON plowed through twice for first downs and. rested on the 11-yard line. With about 30 seconds to go, and the ball in Roseburg's posses aiiii on Medford's 11-yard line, Entler dropped back for a drop kick. The pass from center wus low and hit the ground before the kicker could get it, and Kntler was forced to run. He was tackled be fore he had grasped the ball se curely and fumbled, Medford re covering, and the game ended on the next play. Spectators were delighted with the exhibition, which included nearly all of the tricks of the game, coupled with heady and hard playing. The two teams were very evenly matched, Roseburg perhaps bein? somewhat the heavier, which wat offset by Medford's experience the visiting team having playec several games this year, whllr Roseburg was engaged Saturday li its first contest. "Chuck" Clay, Medford's nuar terback, played a wonderful game, particularly in directing his team. "Hod" Turner, who refereed the contest, said that Clay was one of the headiest quarterbacks he has ever watched on a high school team. The boy was also a game youngster.. 'for he insisted on fin ishing out the last quarter while playing on a sprained ankle: Oren Wilsey, Medford half back, was a great strength for the visl lng team, particularly because of his work in running Interference. Wilton White, at left tackle, proved Roseburg s hardest oppon ent, when the local team had the ball, for White was not to be de nied when he started through the line, and time and again he smeared Roseburg plays behind the line. On Roseburg's team It was hard to pick out an outstanding player. The team played so well together that Individualism was not pres ent. Entler at quarter directed his team In a fine manner and proved himself a real triple-threat man Entler did not show up with bis usual brilliance, because he went into the game with orders not to carry the ball himself, as he was suffering from injuries sustained in scrimmage earlier in the week. Bill Gawler. Worth Wells, Ner- bas and Zenor, each played good games in the backfleld, Oawler and Wells particularly showing themselves as real line plungers, making big gains on their drive through the opposing line. Coaches Well Pleased I One of the outstanding features i of the game was the true sports ; manship of all participants. There ; was no unnecessary roughness in the game and no Intentional foul ing. The teams played hard but there was 'an absolute lack of "dirty" football. After the game the boys mingled In the most friendly manner and the Medford I boys stayed over night in the homes of the local players. Coach Ray Henderson, a former I Roseburg resident, now located at Medford. stated that his tfam had never met with fairer treatment ' and had never participated in a cleaner contest. He was high In his praise of the Roseburg team and particularly praised the work of the ofticials, who although be ing Roseburg men, were absolutely fair in every decision, Mr. Hender son said. Coach Henderson was somewhat handicapped due to the fact that his heaviest guard, Cave, a IGO-pound player, was unable to play because of sickness that de veloped on the way. to Roseburg, the boy being made carsick. While his substitute played a good game, the lack of weight in the line, was somewhat of a handicap. 1 ' ; 'l, Coach Cochrane of the Rose burg team was well pleased with the showing made by the Roseburg squad In the game, which for all except Entler was the flrBt in which any of the hoys had partici pated. He complimented Medford ilghly on the class of ball played y that team and was particularly -) leased by the sportsmanship shown. The line-up was as follows MEDFORD Pos. ROSEBURG , Zumbrunn f.
