"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.

W EENESI. LYNN
(Continued from page 5.)
trouble enough gettin' hold of good guitar players and you've
plumb ruined two of them in the last month.
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.

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

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

ynrd line to the 5-yard line. There
Roseburg stiffened her defense

might at the line and on the fourth

CREOMULSION
FQRTHE. 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.
