a pretty, quiet wedding was cele.
brated at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. I. Robinson at Roanoke, Saturday
evening, when their daughter, Dora,
and Mr. j. L. Watkins were united in
marriage, Rev. j. G. MINK Otficiat-
ing. The bride was daintily attired
in soft white silk and never will she
look sweeter than when she stood at
the marriage altar in youth, health
and happiness, stepping from school
days to the home, A lovable dispO-
sltlon, quiet manner and high stand
ard of honor made her a general fav-
orite in the Welsh high school in
1905 'O6, and with all who knew her.
The groom is one of the best and most
favorably known young planters in
this community. After an elegant
supper the happy couple went to the
home of their brother and sister, Mr.
and Mrs. Marshall Watkins, where
they will remain for the present. The
journal joins with their many friends
in wishing that life's richest blessings
may be theirs.

Children'S Day Exercises at COngre-

Last Lords Day was full of cheer
at the Congregational church. In the
morning at 9 o'clock a brief service
was held at the bayou bridge, north
of town, at which the ordinance of bap-
tism was administered TO Mr.. y. c.
Moody, who had been drawn to God
and His service by the Holy Spirit.
The Sunday school was larger. than
usual, several appreciated visitors
being present. The communion of the
Lord Supper was observed in the af-
ter service, during which Mr.. Moody
and wife were received into the fellow
ship of the church.
At night the children had their op-
portunity. Children's day exercises
had been prepared and were faithfully
practiced by the little folks, who, in
spite OF frequent interruptions by
sickness etc, did remarkably well.
The church was decorated in patri-
otto STYLE. The Stars and Stripes and
feStOons Of the national cOlors, with
flowers and ferns, made an attractive
setting for the children in their per-
Torrance. The program was rendered
nearly as printed. The annual offer
ing was taken by four little children
who received it in baby stockings and
emptied it into "grandma's big stock
ing, after which it was reverently
dedicated to God in song. The clos
ing feature was the presentation OF d.

stood excellent examinations in a pre-

graduated into the intermediate de-

In a small city like this, the vice OF
rash judgment is altogether too com
mon. Where people know nearly all
their fellow citizens, there are some
who are so ungracious and so I'M
christian as to attribute an evil mo-
tive when the actions are prompted by
the best of motives, and they are rath-
err disposed to relish a rumor that re-
fleets against a neighbor. Everybody
commits indiscretions, either wilfully
or through ignorance or weakness:
but harsh criticism and rash judg-
ments do not help the offender, but
shove him down. The golden rule
should be applied in such cases.

Dry Farming by PapasOes.

Parties arriving yesterday from the Santa Rosa country and other Papago Indian settlements say that the Papa go Indians have a large increase in the acreage of wheat, more than 900 acres being under cultivation. The grain is growing splendidly, being from five to eight inches high. Much of the planting is on the mesa lands, the largest acreages being in the val leys, but all is the dry farming system. The acreage of the past seldom exceed ed 500 acres. The experiments now being made is establishing the claim the Star has been making for the past year te the effect that there are many thousands of acres in Pima county which can be proftably cultivated without irrigation. What the Papago Indians can do our American ard M exican farmers can likewise accom- plish. The Papago Indian villages of western Pima county will have a rich harvest this year. It is likely that not less than all of the acreage the several villages have planted will double the 2,0O0 acres above referred to, all of the produce of which will come to Tucson.-Star.
