RETIRES FROM BUSINESS Ed BIddle Leases Dallas Foundry to - D. 5. Harris and Henry Stump. After a 20 -years' business career in Dallas, Ed. BIddle has leased the Dallas foundry and iron works to D. S. Harris and Henry Stump, two young men formerly in nls employ, The lessees took charge of the business Wednesday morning. Their lease is for a term of one year, with the option of purchasing at the expiration of that time. Erom a small beginning 20 years ago, the Dallas foundry has grown until it ranks as one of the important industries of Polk county. The plant is modern in every particular, and the output is shipped to all parts of West Bin Oregon. Mr. Biddle, the retiring manager has worked at the machin ists trade for 48 years, and thoroughly understands every detail of the bust ness. Having acquired a competence, he now purposes to take life easier. His many friends predict, however, that having worked so long at the trade, he will find it difficult to break away from it; in fact, the "old man himself furnishes good grounds for this belief by announcing that he will 'hang around the place, just to help the boys out if they get in a tight place."

Dallas College a.dded another sprig to her laurel wreath when the "Wineed D's" defeated the East Side Athletio Club in Portland, Wednesday night, bya score or 33 to 14. Although the more incurable fana tics on the basketball question sat up until nearly midnigh't waiting for the report of the game, little more than the score could be learned, and an eager crowd awaited the home coming of the victorious team on the Thursday morning train. The majority of the Dallas aggregation had stayed in Portland however, and the two who did return were fairly overwhelmed by the storm or questions that greeted them From their answers it was learned that the game, although extremely rough, was a comparatively easy vie tory for Dallas. Shaw starred for Dallas with a record of 8 field goals to his credit, and all the other members of the team played a clean and error less game. Teats, of Dallas, acted as referee and Professor Rinerler. of the Club, as umpire. One of the amusing things about the game, wa3 the fact that the Dallas suDDorters who accom panied the team, althouah inferior to tne Portland delegation In numbers, did three-fourths of the yelling, and, figuratively speaking, fairly "rooted tneir opponents off the earth."

The latter Electricity for Lighting Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To you, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. It Is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month." You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than electrio light, but does it save you anything when it limits' op portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but it wouldn t be economy. It is not so much what you save, but how you Bave that counts. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.
