The freight train was bearing the
electrician to his destinations It had
reached the munition factory, and in
the darkness he dropped from It and
hurried to the powerhouse. Near the
doorway on a table lay a pile Of cleo
trio light bulbs. He picked up a
handful and sauntered across the
yard and into the main loading room
on an errand conspicuously innocent
in appearance. But in his pocket was
the tiny sparker which when affixed
meant destruction OF lives and prop
erty, the death or injury Of the hun
dreds OF women who worked about
him innocent Of the danger that hung
over them.
He removed a globe from a socket

were replaced. At Tast-he unscrewed

people are in the mob which, led by
the girl whose father has been

storms the gate of the plant seeking
the life of the superintendent, whose
mania for high production figures has
caused the accident.
The mill scene was photographed
entirely by the light of the blast fur

r. W. MIZE TO RUN FOR PLACE
AS 2ND DISTRICT COMMISSIONER

R. W. Mize of the Goshen district
has announced his candidacy for the
office of county commissioner from
the second district. Mize has many
friends in the Lynden district, and
visited here this week.
AS chairman of the Board of Sup
ervisors of Lawrence Township, Mize
made a great record, and he will have
the solid support of that township,
and will draw votes in all sections
where he is known.
The Everson Valley Home COM
mented on Mr. Mize's candidacy last
week as follows:
"R. w. Mize announces his candid
acy for the office of county commits
sioner in this issue. Mr.. MiZe for
several years has been chairman of
the Board of Supervisors of Lawrence
Township and has made an efficient
officer. His election to the office he
seeks will not be misplaced vote"

Sixty men, every one two-fisted
fighter, take part in this scene. At its
conclusion five of the most capable
sluggers were caught by the camera
lying face down on the fioor-not for
effect, but because they were licked.
Rex Beach happened to be in the
studio when the raid scene was pho

hands full keeping him out of the set.
