Miss Isabel Irving.

Miss Isabel Irving, who is booked
in Jerome X. Jeromes comedy, Susan
in Search of Husband" at the Met
ropolitan theater is a particular fav-
orite with women theater-goers and
she is always exquisitely gowned. In
''Susan in Search of a Husband" she
wears several dresses that are said to
be advance styles directly from the
best Paris workshops. OF course, no
woman can afford to miss seeing them.
Besides, the title of the play is es-
pecially attractive to women and ev-
eryone is anxious to learn the meth
DDS used by Susan in her successful
hunt for husband-for as a matter
of course her search does eventuate
successfully.

WARREN MAYOR A
MATRIMONIAL
BOOSTER
Offers of Fine Lot to Bachelors
Who Will Tie Up
For Life.

a message to the Times from War
rem states that the town is agog over
Mayor August Lundgren's offer to pre-
sent large residence lots to the five
old maids. or old bachelors who first
abondon the selfish single blessedness
for matrimOny. to the profit and adj
vancement of the city and surrounding
territory.
Mayor Lundgren has just been elect
ed to his fourth consecutive term as
head of the city government. He is in
tensely interested in the welfare of
the city and this portion of the state.
He has found that his family and his
prosperity have increased in equal
ratio. and firmly believes that family
firesides are more valuable to COM
munity than bachelors apartments
and eating houses.
At a late meeting OF the city council
the matter came UP and was cOnsid-
cred in a more or less joking way,
when it was discovered that every
member was in favor of bachelor
tax or some similar measure. Before
taking any compulsory steps. however,
it was decided to try persuasion. A
number of bachelors, almost every one
Of which are comfortably situated re-
garding this worlds goods. and sew
eral are wealthy, are willing to assume
the matrimonial yoke, but lack either
the courage openly to seek a mate,
or the opportunity, owing to the COM
paratively lesser number of marriage
able ladies'
To overcome these obstacles plan
is being considered to have City Re-
cOrder Powell make and keep a secret
record of the Warren unmarried who
are willing to consider proposals from
eligible persons of the opposite sex,
and also of applicants from distant
places. All such persons must agree
to make their home at or near that
city. Recorder Powell agreed to do
this for small fee.
The married men of Warren are all
supporting Mayor Lundgren and the
council in their plans, and the small
number of what might be termed
spinsters favor the plan. The bach
elOrs are non-committal.
That locality abounds in mercantile
and industrial opportunities and it is
hoped by this means that many persons
of both sexes may be induced to go
there and aid in developing the coun-
try.
Last year nearly half the teachers
in the Warren schools made excellent
marriages Immediately after the close
of the school year and almost as many
marriages are expected to take place
this year but there is still room for
more.

One of the most convincing ele-

WINTER INJURY OF 1ksza.

Most Of our fruit trees have . Ger,
tain power OF resisting cold. the lower
limits Of this power being different
with different trees. Generally the
trunks and limbs suffer rather than
the roots. Peach trees and pear trees
suffer most In our northern climate.
There are several factors that enter
into the winter injury of trees. besides
the excessive cold. Drouth In the fall
or excessive wetness in the fall may
prove very disadvantageous to the
trees. II the winter prove to be cold.
II insects have defol;ated the trees In
the summer, thus preventing the elab-
oration Of plant fool for ripeninE up

an easy prey to severe cold. Trees

In the fall are especially likely to be
injured by the cold. says Farmers Re
view. even II that cold TX not severe.
FAN rains have the same effect
sometimes, when they follow long
season of drouth. The reason Is
that the new wood formed does not
have time to harden before the COM
ing OF cold. This accounts for the fact
that the branches of trees are more
often injured than the roots.

many years since the war, has not for
gotten the heart throhs of the long ago.
Twas easy to march in the morning.
When heart-throls and limbs were
strong.
when blast OF lifc's buvie was calling. b
Like strains OF beautiful song.
when the drum taps called you to ac.
tion.
And comrades were by your side.
So easy 10 march In "a column.
Each firmly stepping side by side.
How bravcly you entered the conflict.
Cheers greeted each moment Of time.
And honor was crowning your efforts.
When life seemed almost sublime.
With friends standing by to support
you,
And llit their voices In praise.
Your heart never tired. but only IT,
spired
Your flag OF success to raise.
When the work dragged on In the even
ing
And the friends that checred were
gore. FL.
And the praises OF men were silent
That pirci so loudly at '1orn.
And you missed the dear old companions
Who started In life with you.
You sadly stood by the tatt"rcd Flag
Aiohn with the living few.
Twas hard to keep stepping In silence.
when your path had lonesome grown.
iifc's bitter cup soldier must drink
Without sigh or rroan.
And this was the test OF your courage.
4 test that you dare not shirk.
In the bright days and the dark ones
You mus, faithfully do your work.
Yes. battle when piaudits may cheer
you.
March when your comrades are gone.
Faithful and valiant forward press on,
And smile In spite OF the wrong.
In the bright days and the dark ones,
Faithful. valiant and bright.
Ready for battle or marching on.
Out in the darkneN OF night
Those only who march To the music
But fail when the battle Is on.
Are not the loyal. the true and brave
who stand by the mufiied drum.
u may bc your march will be silent.
As you step to the taps OF the drum.
when the battle OF life is finished.
And your work as u soldier II done.
