The charming home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Oliver Baylor was last night
the scene OF a beautiful wedding,
when Miss Nora Young, of Kentucky,
and Mr.. Frank Ferguson, of Illinois,
were married in the presence of a
number of friends, Rev. Curry H
Love officiating.
The bride wore beautiful gown of
white silk and lace, with orange bios
SONS, and carried white carnations
and asparagus fern. The house was
handsomely decorated with cut flow
ers and ferns, many of the flowers
having been sent by an aunt of the
bride, from her home in Pasadena.
There we're also quantities of yell
low columbine which we're greatly
admired and were brought in by Mr..
Johnston from the L U E ranch,
where the bride has often been a
guest.
Ices, cake and coffee were served
during the evening, the bride cutting
the handsome heartshaped BRIDES
cake, and later tossing her boquet
among her glrl friends to be caught
by one of the group.
Mrs. Ferguson has lived in Clifton
only during the past winter, but has
made host of warm friends by her
attractive personality. She is a
charming type of Kentucky beauty.
Mr.. Ferguson, who has recently
come to Clifton, is also a Kentuckian
but for several years has made his
home in Illinois, where his father is a
prominent and well-to-do business
man.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson received
many handsome presents, including
much cut glass and silver.
The young couple will remain in
Clifton for the present, but expect to
visit California later in the summer.

pumpkins is the man who blows

Revised Version.

In a certain Sunday school re-
Gently the lesson for the day had to
do with Mammon and the corrupt
ing influences of great riches.
Toward the close of the exer-
cises the superintendent called upon
the infant class to repeat the Gold
en- Text, which had special refer
ence to mans inability to serve his
Creator and the money god at one
and the same time. The class fail
ed to respond as it should, when the
superintendent, noticing his own
young hopeful in the ranks, who
had that very morning been drilled
thoroughly on the text, called on
him. The response was immediate,
though slight departure from the
original, for in a voice that was dis
tinctly heard in all parts of the
room there came the following mod
ifcation:

Pert Paragraphs
The National Salute and the Salute u
the Union.

The National Salute and the Salute 70
the Union.
The question as to why the ma
tional salute consisted of twenty
one guns was put to one of the
classes At Washington preparing
young men for the entrance exam
nations for West Point and An
napolis, and, strange to say, not one
of the embryonic generals or ad-
mirals 'hit the nail on the head"
The "coach," who knows Ameri-
can history away down underneath,
furnished the information that the
national salute, which is the inter-
national salute-that is, the salute
given to the national flag-is fixed
by army regulations at twenty-one
guns, and that the number appears
to have been in conformity to the
custom of foreign nations at the
time when the number was SO fixed.
The first record Of national sa-
Lutte is in the army regulations of
1912, which was in conformity to
the number of states comprising the
Union, then eighteen, but in 1918
. new regulation was made fixing
the number at twenty-one, which
was at that date the number of
states in the Union, and which was
ut the same time in accordance with
the kings regulations Great Brit
ain), which fixed twenty-one guns
to be fred as a salute on the ami
versary days of the birth, accession
and coronation of the king, the
birth of the queen, the restoration
of Charles II. and the gunpowder
treason.
At that date the national salute
in France was also fixed at twenty
one guns, to be fired only on Corpus
Christi day and on the kings birth
day.
1t is proper to remark, however,
that the national salute Of twenty
one guns at the present time ap-
pears to be peculiar to the United
States and Great Britain, inasmuch
Is the national salute of France is
101 guns, of Germany SO guns, and
that the superlative salute in the
United States is that on the Fourth
Of July of one gun for each state
in the Union, and it is called the
salute to the Washington
Post,

Waters Of the Oceans.

The oceans occupy three-fourths
Of the surface of the earth. A mile
down in the sea the water has .
pressure of ton to every square
inch. If box SIX feet deep was
filed with sea water, which was
then allowed to evaporate, there
would be two inches of salt left in
the bottom of the box. Taking the
average depth of the ocean to bs
three miles, there would be a layer
Of salt 440 feet thick covering the
bottom in case all the water should
evaporate. In many places, espe-
cially in the far north, the water
freezes from the bottom upward.
