Two children were born to them, Edmund H., who lived at home with his mother, and Lucy A., wife of Clyde Randall of San Antonio, Texas.

The' injury is causing her much pain and, on account of her age, will keep her confined to the house for some time. Q It would require the concentrated and joint energy of six strong men to equal the power of this little 90 pound Elecftric Motor The men could not sustain the strain long, but the motor would go on hour after hour, supplying its maximum force. The motor is so small you can put it in any out of the way cor­ ner. Connected to our mains it is ready for work day and night and takes pay for only what it actually does. Small industries as well as large ones find Electric Power has advantages that place it in a class alone. Public Service Co.
