Gibson, ftoanokm Texas On top of all the savmns it brings savings of time and labor and actual money Lalley Light itself is-a saving and a good paying investment. You might be inclined to doubt that. But owners themselves say so. Read their own words: From the Justice Garage, at Spencer, S. D. "Since installing the Lalley, it has cut down our light bill almost $15 per month. George Reudi, Bloom field, Neb., says his plant doesn't cost three cent3 a day for light and the washing and ironing in addition. Can you run your lamps and lanterns on three cents' worth of oil per day? William Kroeze, Arling ton, Wash., says that his Lalley expenses arc very small for running 25 lights, a washing ma chine and an iron. From Texas, G. W. Toone writes that he has had experience with several plants, and finds that Lalley costs less to run than any of the others. At Shelby Settlement, Ohio, Father Jacob Kuebler lights the Sacred Heart Church, the parish house and the sisters' house with Lalley, for less than 50 cents per week. So there is only one way you can consider Lalley Light and that is as an economy. At the end of the year, you can figure up in dollars anc cents if you like the exact Lalley sayings. And you will find, more than likely, that they come very close to paying for the plant, if they do not actually pay for it. LALLEY LIGHT CORPORATION DETROIT, MICHIGAN - - U.S.A.

"1 don't like It. not one bltl" ox clnlnu'd Reuben Hull, In a worried way. "What Is the trouble now. Reuben?" Inquired his wife. "Vcrda. She's on my mind and It makes nn. suspicious nnd uneasy." "Suxplclous of what? Uneasy why?" demanded Mrs. Hall, rousing up coiiNiiiernhly, for her favorite nloco hnd won from her almost a motherly rupnrd. ".lust this, Martha," explained Reu ben .olMrly: "Vordn has been here a month, and talks of staying two. Doesn't It look to you as If there Is something in the wind when a city bred girl prefers this dull, way-back life of ours to the excitement 9f the town? Then, again, who supposed when Brother Luke sent her on thnt the bewitching little fairy wns going to have every young man In the village fall head over heels In love with her?" "You great goose 1 Vcrda Is simply enjoying the heydey of her beautiful youth. Do you want to shut her up like ii prisoner In n nunnery?" "I don't," dissented Reuben, "but I owe n duty to her father to see that she doesn't fall In love with some poor, shiftless fellow nnd us get blamed by Luke for It to the end of the chapter." "She Is up to enjoying life like the sweet, rational creature she Is," per sisted Mrs. Hall, "and don't go, like tho meddling simpleton you are, nnd Interfere with her Innocent pleasures." It was coincidental and suggestive quite that at the general store that evening the usual Indolent, gossiping group making their headquarters thero should lie discussing a new legal meas ure, "tho search and seizure law." Now Reuben did not very deeply tako In the merits of the proposition nnd hugged the delusion to his narrow mind thnt he had discovered a way out of his troubles. "Search and seizure," ho medltnted, on his way home. "That strikes mo right. It must mean thnt when a per son, say n relative or a guardian, wishes to protect a person under his care and responsibility the law says search and seize for tho benefit of the relative or ward. My duty Is plain. I won't tell Martha ; she'd 'only encour age Verda under all circumstances. I owe It to my brother and to my con science to keep a closo eyo on the glrl,"nm1 I'm going to do It!" Ve'rdn weiit away with some girl ac quaintances the next day and Mrs. Hall had occasion to visit the town stores. As soon as he was nlone Reu ben locked himself In tho house, so as to bo sure thero would bo no Interrup tion, nnd went upstairs to tho room apportioned to Terdn. "I like tho girl," ho soliloquized, "and I'm no prying spy. It's for her own good nnd my duty to Brother Luke," and he went to tho bureau in one corner of the room and opened Its top drawer. Thero was a ring with n dainty bit of. ribbon tied around it, and a faded rose and a little packet of let ters. The first of these began with, "Dear Miss Hall," tho next three or four with "Dcnr Verda," and the last, nrdent, full of love nnd expressed de votion, boro such words ns "darling" and "dearest." They were signed with an initial only It was "It." "Who Is 'R?' " ruminated Reuben, "and I, wonder what Martha would say to all that gushy trash? AVhy, the fel low writes as 1 he owned Verda 1 Kn gaged? Oil, I must ndvlsc her father, or got the girl back homo at once." Reuben sat down under a tree In the garden and cogitated deeply over tho subject In hand. Then the hnyrack wagon came up and Verda went up to her room, but came down again nlmost immediately and, with an expression of palpable anxiety and excitement clouding her face, discovered Reuben and ran up to him. "Oh, Undo Reuben I" she exclnlmed hrenthlessly, "some one has been ran sacking my bureau and they have taken some some things I wouldn't lose for tho world. Maybe, some bur glar hasi visited tho house." "Was It some letters you havo missed?" questioned her uncle. "Why, yes, uncle how did you know?" "Sit down, Verda. I have something to sny to you," and forthwith ho ex plained tho merits of tho ense, while his niece, open-eyed nnd astonished, stared nt him as though ho wero a professional robber. "Oh, undo! How could you?" she ut tered polgnnntly. "And who Is 'R,?' " ho challenged. "Ho Is tho only man I 6hall ever love," declnred Verda. "Ho Is Ray mond Breer, and although I only knew him two weeks, and ho hns gone away for a spell, ho writes mo every day, and who hns n better right?" nnd Verda broko down with tears and Bobs, while Reuben Hall muttered to him self! "Well, she's got good sense to win the wealthiest young man In Rush vllle."' "And, oh, uncle," suddenly voiced Verdu, "with your horrid search and seizure idea you missed something. I may as well confess everything while I'm about It. There 1" nnd she extend ed a folded document "And whnt's that, now?" ho Interro gated, and Verda's reply enrae like n thunder clap: "Oh, only our mnrrlngo certificate, Uncle Reuben." -::o:: niblinn Will I'iito Gibbon Is to have nineteen blocks of paving, this to take In all tho bus iness district.
