Showers for NewIy-Wed Members

Friday evening will be remembered
as pleasant one in Royal Neighbor
circles, by the members and surprised
honorees of a miscellaneous shower,
which was given for two newly-mar-
ried members Of the order, Mrs. Ar
thur Stephens, formerly Miss Edna
Lange of this city, but now of Warsaw,
and Mrs. Frank Laisle Of this city.
At the. time of the marriage of these
two younger members, their announce
ments came with glad surprise and
there was no time to prepare anything
of a social nature, and last evening
was thought to be most opportune
time to tender both an after-nuptial
courtesy. Fully hundred or more
members were present to enjoy the
affair and wish those honored every
success in welded life. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Stephens and Mr.. and Mrs. Lais-
lie were the recipients of many pretty
and useful presents, which came in
the nature of miscellaneous shower.
Eleven new candidates were re-
ceived into the order Of r. N. A. Friday
evening and following the degree
work, all repaired to the dining room,
where the committee in charge served
ice cream and cakes. The long ia
bles, which were prettily spfaad with
their white china and silver, were
done in the colors of the order, small
purple crepe receptacles being used
for the placing of the cream plates.
Above the tables and suspended from
the chandeliers to the sides and cor
ners, were long streamers of purple
and white, the co'ors of the order.
Mrs. Stephens and Mr.. Laisle, each re-
ceiyed small favor in the shape of
neatly crepe-done box, which when
opened revealed in a heart, the joys
of welded life.

The French government has decided
to admit American potatoes to that
country. Heretofore the American po-
tota has been an outlaw in France ac-
cused OF disease and contamination to
French tubers. Now it is free OF
France as are other Americans.
But really what's the difference? The
American potato is not great travele,
like the American hog and steer 1t is
more fitted to home keeping Travel

France the American potato would get
along all right for the potato speaks
universal language. but a potato
raised in Iowa at 35 cents a bushel
rarely undertakes sea voyage Piled
about stove in a freight car it NAV
travel thru a half dozen states but it
is most likely to travel in a wagon
with top box accommo dations to the
nearest town and find refuge in a

The potato farmer is not particularly
interested in French approval Of his
product. If the foreigner desires to see
a smile spread over the entire Missis-
sippi valley let him open his markets
to American beef and pork.
