Tampering With Time


II is customary in Legislative assemblies, from
Congress down, TO extend the time OF the final
session by setting back the hands Of the clock
so that they shall not indicate the hour for adj
journment until several hours after the true
time has arrived. This was done at the close
CT the Colorado Legislature, and several bills
were passed after the hour when the oonstitu-
tionsl limit Of the session was reached II is
proposed to test the constitutionality of these
laws and it should be done MS a means of aseer-
tanning the legality Of this kind of legislation.

day, that the overworked employees of the
Government are TO have a day of rest,
which they may devote solely to their re-

we must remember that the poor crea-

The marriage of Miss Pauline Maude
Oakley to Mr.. Frank King Clark at Holy
Trinity church on Thursday evening.
brought out the smart set in large num-
bers. The young and the not SO young
were out in force, wearing modish gowns.
The bride was regal in French gown of
lace, and the bridal veil was Of the same
beautiful material. The beautiful ma
tron-of- honor, Mrs. Thomas W. Griffith,
the four bridesmaids and the flower chill
dren lent pictorial effect to the scene.
The uehers were men with grace and ease
of manner, and their courtesy contributed
greatly to the enjoyment Of the occasion.
The color scheme was white and green.
The chancel and altar were banked with
palms and white carnations; the rood
screen also was covered with ferns and
white carnations. On the screen were
hung wedding bells of white carnations,
while Oh every pew was an immense bow
Of white ribbon and a wreath of aspara-
gus fern.
A pretty reception followed at the
home Of the brides parents. Above the
high green hedge surrounding the
grounds we're hundreds of japanese
lanterns enclosing electric lighJs. The
bride and groom received the guests
under wedding bells OF white carnations
surrounded by bower of green. The
walks and drivewavs leading to the
house we're canvased in white, and here
many Of the guests danced to the strains
OF aagenow's orchestra, which was
stationed on the upper balcony. From
this balcony. amid the strains from
Romeo and Juliet the beautiful bride
threw her shower bouquet to her girl
friends below. The bouquet was caught
by Miss May Burr amid shouts of ap-
plause. At the rear of the lawn was a
tent in which the brides and grooms
cakes and ices were served from an i'm.
mense round table laid with lace and
garlanded with green. In the centre
OF the table was tree of asparagus fern
surrounded by brides roses. The table
was lighted by six silver candelabra. and
the tent by Japanese lanterns. Coffee
and lunch we're served on the lawn in
bowers made in the shrubbery.
The wedding gifts were displayed in
the dining room on tables covered with
white velvet. The gifts we're numerous
and very beautiful, consisting largely of
cut glass, real lace and silver. The
grooms gift to the bride was magnif-
cent ring Of diamonds. Mr.. and Mrs.

From the first I have held that this

been observed upon both red and GRIM

of acres Of red clover have been de-
stroyed by it. / am OF opinion that red
clover is its original food. Without
doubt it is a native American insect
and has spread it's attacks TO crimson
clover and peas. % y@.E

the total loss from the attacks Of this
creature along the Atlantic coast states
was S3,00O,oo0 and that the pea crop,

We have shown conclusively in ex-
periments and work in the field that
this insect can be kept j n control to q
very great extent If taken in hand In
time. In the first place, the peas must
be planted in rows 2 or so inches
apart and not broadcast or in drills,

effective. Forty men were engaged to
work in the field, and the 500 acres

third day for a period Of two weeks,
and the entire field was saved, netting
the owner from %. COO to 10000 cases

Perhaps no }insect In recent years has
