the warm friendship the bride has con-
tracted since childhood. the universal
esteem in which she is held. and the
fsct that the groom is known to be a
successful banker OF Oklahoma. and
the fact that this was the FIRST wedding

Morrison sang sweetly, Because OF

Why does Great Britain buy
Its oatmeal OF us?

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Scotch Oats to Great Britain
and Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally Of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods Of
manufacture SO that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at glance at the export re-
ports on Quaker Scotch Oats. This
brand Is without rival; is packed in
regular packages, and in hermetically
sealed tins for hot climates. 81

thorough bully, he would have covered

1t was close beside the nest that the

pounced frantically upon these new as

hesitated whether to fight or flee.

viii be Held by Republicans To
Nominate Candidate For Con-

committee at Danville Saturday. when
a convention was called 10 be held in
Danville August 6 to nominate a candi-
date for Congress. II is not believed
that the republicans have any hope OF
defeating Congressman Helm, but the
nomination will be made TO keep intact
the party organization.
Auditor Frank z. James. Of Hsrrods-
burg, has been urged TO accept the nom
nation, but il is understood that he does
not desire to run. Mr. Miles. of Mich
olasville, is also mentioned. Judge l..
w. Bethurum. of Rockcastle. declined
to run, though urged to do so by many
friends.
The Eighth district is reliably demo-
cratic now by about ls0O and only in
cases of tina utmost apathy among the
democrats do the republican leaders fig
ure they have chance. Congressman
Helm is very popular over the district
and will poll the full democratic vote.
