100000 ELECTRIC LIGHT
COMPANY FOR COLUMBUS

Incorporation papers have
filed by the Columbus Electric
and Power Company of our Viii
lage at Santa Fe, N. NJ, the COM
pany being capitalized at 5000.
900 divided into shares Of 500.
each, of which twenty thousand
dollars are paid up. The incor-
porators and directors are: J. l..
Greenwood, c. NJ. Greenwood and
b. N. Reed all being Columbus
citizens.
This news item has been copi-
ed widely and great interest is
evinced in the fact of incorpor-
alton, many people from abroad
already sending in for informa-
ton as to shares. etc.
The incorporation includes the
two theatres, the Crystal and the
Columbus Theatre, and the eX-
isting light and power plant
the latter will be enlarged by
new machinery as rapidly as
orders can be filed.
The fact of incorporation
under such heavy capitalization
is particularly interesting as
showing the faith of the share
holders in the future of Column
bus-and as the best citizens are
interested in the company fnan-
cially Il is a promise for contin-
ued developement of the village,
whether the army remains with
US or not.
The Columbus Theatre has a
practical fire exit TO the left of
the stage-the door is equipped
with the latest safety device
and leading TO a concrete hall
where a slight grade without
steps leads directly into the open
air. Red lights will mark this
eXit-all the doors swing out
ward and the theatre is fireproof
in every detail. The chamber the
films are handled in is asbestos
lined on galvanized iron sheath
ing, this in turn being superim-
posed on concrete supported by
steel laths-an automatic shut

chamber in case of heat being
generated in any way, so that

Soldiers are fine critics. most
Of them are city bred men, ac-
customed 10 the best in theatric
wares, and II is a mistake TO
bring to the town so-called at
fractions that are not up TO a
high standard--it hurts the
town and most of all II hurts the
house presenting poor plays.

Mrs. Keeler, one of Columbus
pioneers has returned TO the
town on a visit TO her daughter
Mrs, Margaret Barron, after
months spent in the vicinity Of
Colonial Dublan-Mrs. Keeler
had a trying trip from Casas
Grandes over the Mexican North
western to Juarez-it being
necessary TO sit up in an un-
warmed car all night. Mrs.
Keller says attacks on the train
were anticipated but there was
no trouble from any quarter.
She believes the fight OF the
refugees is due 10 fear OF mis-
treatment on the part Of the
Carranzistas equally with fear
that Villa will attack all who
have worked in any capacity for
the American army.
Mrs Keeler's many friends
are glad 90 have her once more
among them.

AMERICA TO BE EFFICIENT, IN WAR, MUST
DEAL FAIRLY WITH LABOR, SAYS GOMPERS

BY SAMUEL GOMPERS,
President of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Copyright, 1917, by the Newspaper
Enterprise AssociatIon.)
Despite our every endeavOr, each
day seems to make war more ineVi-
table. Under these conditions it be-
comes the great task of the Ameri-
can labor movement to demonstrate
to the world that democracy can be
efficient in war, even as it is in peace.
The more democratic countries Of
the world have always proved them
selves the most efficient and progress
sive in the pursuits of peace, as was
first demonstrated by the American
colonies when they broke away from
the leading strings of Great Britain.
It is now our duty to show the world
that in war also the same superiority
can be maintained.
In this movement to make demOc-
raCy efficient in war the labor move
ment must take a leading part, even
as it has played the lead in every
other democratic movement in the
worlds history.
1t is from the ranks of labor that
the armies are recruited and organ
lied. It is Iabor's power that makes
it possible to create the great ma
chinery and the endless supplies Of
munitions which the prosecution Of
modern warfare demands. And it is
only through the untiring harmOni-
Gus action of labor that the armies
as we'll as the civil population are fed,
clothed and transported.
Democracy can be efficient only
when it is united.
When there is discomfort, dissatis-
faction and discOrd within the ranks
of democracy its power is crippled
and dissipated. Production Iags and
the YigOr Of the entire industrial life
is impaired wherever there is a force
at work creating disunion, dissensiOn

NJ. Jensen. a Dane. the latter two be.
ing drawn for, the semi-final match,
the winner to wrestle Olin for the
championship.
The two men wrestled for four
hours when Jensen gave up. Saarela
was so exhausted that he would have
had no chance with DIN, but the match
was scheduled to take place immcdi-
ately. When Olin understood his coun-
tryman's condition he refused to wres.
tie him and lost the match by default.
DIN wrestled in tho Graeco-Roman
style until he came to America in 1912.
For four years he has been studying
the American catch.as.catch.can style
and in his American matches has never
been defeated.
Last December ne was matched with
Stecher in Springfield. Stecher got
his scissors hold twice and Olin broke
it and at one time had Stecher's shout
ders on the mat momentarily.
stecher arose and left the hall and
the referee gave the match to Oltn.
DIN is now after matches which will
win him the wrestling championship.
The strange thing about the Stecher-
Olin match was that Olin declared the
scissors hold was not painful.
He says the half nelson Stecher uses
with his scissors is harder to stand
than the body pressure.
Other wrestlers who have felt the
scissors declare that it is too painful
to resist.
