It was a still clear morning, but
autumn was in the air and a pale
sun lacked the decennary heat to
melt a tkln of -lee .which, durlit'g
the night, hod covered stagnant
pools. The damp moss which car
pets northern forests was lionry
wllh frost nnd It cracked under

mtMakable approach could he
plainly felt.
A saw-pit had been rigged upon
a slyoplng hillside consisted of
(four posts about six feet long, upon
wjiu'u ii hi oeen mici ronr si ringers,
like the sills of a house; up to Ihls
seaiTiild h d u pnlr of inclined skids.
Itesttng upon the stringers was a
sizable spruce log which hurl been

Malaneed upon this log was Tom
Linton; In the sawdust directly un
der him stood Jerry tjulrk. Air.
T.lnton glared downward, Mr.
tjulrk squinted fiercely upward.
Air. I.tuton showed his teeth In
as ugly grin and his voice
was hoarse with fury; Mr. Qiilrk'w
gray mustanho brlsled with rage,
and aJiger had raised his conver
sational tone to a rlgh pilch. Hoth
ineii were perspiring, both were
shaken to Ihe core.
"Don't shove!" Mr. Quirk ex
claimed, lu drill. Irritation. "How

you not to shove? Vou bend the

"I never shoved." Union said
thickly. "Maybe we'd do better If

those, handles every time I lift. If

"Don't siiy that again!" shouted
1 .Into n. "I'm a putieni man, but"
He swallowed hard, then with dif
ficulty voiced u H&lcm vibrant
warning, "Don't say It ugatn, thui'3

Defiance instantly flamed In
Jerry's watery eyes. "I'll say It If
I want to!" he yelled. "I'll say
anything I feel like snyin'! Some
folks can't understand Knglish;
some folks have got llgnumvlty
heads ami you have to tell Vmj "

"Hure that's. Just - the trouble

the heart!" The speaker spat on
his ban tin -and in -a calmer, more
business-like tone said: "Well,
come on. Let's go. This is our last
boa i d."
Tom I.tnton checked an Insulting
remark that had just ocenred to
him. It h:td nothing watever to
do with the subject under dispute,
but It would have goaded Jerry to
Insanity .therefore it rlumored for
expression nd the tempatlon to

In unison tho men resumed their
Intirrupted labors; slowly, rhyth
mieully, their arms moved up and
down, monotonously their aching
hacks bent and straightened, inch

Whenever Quirk looked up note
progress his eyesi were filled with
stinging particles of sawdust. His
was a tenreful job; sawdust was in
his hair .his beard. It had sifted
down inside his neckband and it

Read Below How Fully the "EASY" Embodies These
Four Cardinal Points
The "EASY" washes ALL of the family wash clean. So do
some other washers but in the "EASY"' wool blankets anil
other fluffy materials come out with their downy nnd fluffy
surfaces restored. The same applies to flannel materials be
cause there is no rubbing or applied friction, which has a ten
dency to harden the surface of materials of this character.
Shirt cuffs, collars and bands need no hand rubbing. Sheer
and dainty things could not bewashed more carefully by the
housewife using her hands as suction cups in the bathroom
wash linsin because the three suction cups in the "EASY"
gently force soap suds back and forth through the mesh sixty
times per minute. The "EASY" also thoroughly cleanses badly
soiled overalls and similar things.
The "EASY" eliminates the labor, drudgery nnd mess that '
usually accompanies the washing. There is no lifting of heavy
parts. No cleaning of parts or corners after the washing is
completed. The "EASY" is very readily moved about. It
occupies but very little floor space.
The safety switch on the "EASY"" is a very important fen- '
tmv. It is so designed that if the washer or wringer is over
loaded or otherwise mishandled, the safety switch instantly
stops the motor and the washer, and re-fuses to permit the ,
"EASY" to be overtaxed. This prevents damage to the washer
and the clothes.

The "EASY" is correctly designed from an engineering
point of view It is made entirely from copper, aluminum
