Justice Bryant was placed in rather
embarrassing quandary Saturday after
noon. when after having performed the
marriage ceremony that bound Jelle
Siverstrer and Catherine NJ. Loclkemey-
er together for life, he was informed
that the bride had not understood a
word that he had said. altho she had
nodded in the affirmative to the Hues-
tons that had been put to her. When
the ceremony had been duly performed
and the couple declared wed, Justice
Bryant was informed that the bride had
just arrived from Holland last week and
knew less of English than the justice
does of Dutch. After celebrating over
the matter Justice Bryan decided that
the marriage was all right anyway and

John l.. Bagnall. one of the govern
ment experts connected with the eyper-
iments on the part of the department of
agriculture for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the cause of the swine plague,
hog cholera and other swine diseases in
Page county, spent Wednesday in this
place and While here stated that there
are but two herds of hogs affected by
cholera in the county and both of those
are on the east side of the county. He
attributes the almost total absence of
cholera in great part to the high price
of feed and of hogs, saying that because
careful in feeding hogs, and as the most
of the diseases of the hog are caused in
great part by faulty feeding, the result
is a very light percentage Of sick ones.
He also thinks that the swine plague or
cholera will be quite prevalent in Page
this fall because the spring crop
of pigs is large and the promise of a
big crop of corn is good. The two COM
bined will cause farmers to rush young
hogs into condition for market as soon
as possible. Overlooking will result in
4 great deal of hog sickness.
