whore they lived until IA years
ago when they purchased the
elegant home of ID. O.. Welker and
moved to Vinton, where they have
since resided.
Mrs. Devore's birthplace was in
Chester Co. Pa, where she first
saw the light Sept. 8, 1916. She
was the only daughter of David
t. and Sidney Harkins. She
moved with her parents to Dan
vile when quite small and con-
tinued to live there until her
marriage, to Mr., Davora Sha is
now in her 61st. year and is we'll
preserved lady.
About 32 years ago Mr.. Devore
entered the ministry and has since
been expounding the doctrines of
the Church of Christ. He is
very able minister and has been
very successful in his work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Devore's uniou
was blessed with two children,
Mrs. j. B. Dollison of Logan, and
Hartley Devore of vinton, both
of whom were present to rejoice
with their parents on this ami
versary occasion.
Mr.. Devore has one brother liv-
ing in the state of Washington,
and five sisters, one in Minnesota,
two in West Virginia and one
in Washington, none of whom
were permitted to be present on
this occasion.
Mrs. Devore has four brothers
living, namely John Harkins of
Oklahoma, Miffin of California,
Wayne of Woodsfeld, o., and
VIM. N. of Vinton, the last named
being the only one present on this
occasion.
The Devore home was never more
beautiful than on this occasion.
Red hearts pinned to the lace
curtains were prominent in every
room, and other decorations were
in keeping with the spirit of the
day, red of course being the pre-
vailing feature of the color scheme.
A number of beautiful and useful
presents were bestowed, among
which was a handsome leather
rocker, a memento from a number
of friends. 1t was presented by
Ed. w. N. Harkins, who spoke in
behalf of the friends. In the pre-
sentation speech he spoke of the
sorrows and joys that had come to
them in the forty years of welded
life. "Sorrows that bad touched

The event however, was sur
prise to Mr.. and Mrs. Dey0re,
planned and executed by their
daughter, Mrs j. B. eDollison of

order that the necessary arrange

Deyore were invited to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Vollborn to
spend the day and as pre-arranged
were induced to remain until after
supper.
Their surprise upon returning
home about 7 o'clock in the even
ing to find their home filled with
friends and relatives can better be
imagined than described. They
were both, however, equal to the
occasion and after recovering from
their shock entered into the spirit
of the evening and enjoyed IL to
the fullest extent.

What Advertising Did.

j. w. Roach, farmer living
near Clyde, Kan, tested the eflica-
cy of advertising recently. He
was about to hold a public auction
and planned an advertising cam
paign. For several weeks he an
nounced his dates in the local pa
pers and the last week came out
with half-page advertisement,
ordering 500 extra copies of the
paper for distribution. He en-
ployed four auctioneers and adj
vertised the fact. He told in an
interesting way, through his ad-
vertising, that he would have a
big sale-and plenty to eat. The
sale was held adjoining Clyde and
the crowd that attended was esti-
mated at 8. 900. The Clyde mer-
chants did big business as re-
suit. Before the event Mr.. Roach
estim ated the amount of the sale
at ~, 900, but it footed up 81 500.
His printing bill was $3S, and he
attributes the remarkable success
of the sale to judicious use of
printers ink. He said to a rep
resentative of the Telescope:
printers ink made me at least
81, 500 on that sale; got the peo-
pie there and they bought whether
they needed the goods or not.

kept them young" and in behalf
of the friends wished them
happy journey the rest of the way.
This address was feelingly re-
sponded to by Mr.. Devore. He
said, to live in the hearts and esti-
nation of his friends meant more
to him than silver and gold. The
beautiful rocker would be daily
reminder of their unfailing love,
of which they would always en-
deavor to prove themselves worthy.
The guests were then invited to
the dining room, where an elegant

of red, was again in evidence.
Seated at the BRIDES table, which
was dream of beauty, were Ed.
and Mrs. Deyore, the bride and
groom of 40 years ago, Col. and
Mrs. w. F. Butler, and Ed. and
Mrs. w. N. Harkins, and as favors
each received a red carnation,
Souvenirs of red ribbon bows
were issued to each guest by
Misses Beatrice Matthews and
Hazel Hartsook. Everything was
in charming taste and much praise
is due those who had charge of
the culinary department.
After singing "God Be With
You Till We Meet Again" the
guests departed for their re-
spective homes, after wishing the
happy couple a pleasant journey
through life.
Altogether it was most delight
full occasion, not only for the
bride and groom of 40 years, but
to everyone present. Vinton has
no worthier couple than Eld. and
Mrs. Devore. They command
and enjoy the esteem of all its
people. From every side came
best wishes for their continued
happiness and prosperity. With
this multitude the LEADER joins.
May their last years be their
happiest and best, and may they
be safely anchored in the blissful
haven beyond,

The warfare of the United States
government against the senders of
obscene and scurrilous postal cards
and letters through the mails was

President Roosevelt's final an
nouncement that he would not be
candidate for another term
caused sharp rally in Wall street
markets. The campaign for higher
prices begun two weeks ago was
based largely upon the belief that
President Roosevelt would make
this announcement.
In some quarters it was said
that positive pledge had been
secured from him by j, p. Morgan
at the time Mr.. Morgan visited
