Saturday Edition of Six-Day
Paper Is Read Most
Thoroughly

The readers of The Spokane Press buy and pay for the
paper for the sole purpose of reading it. They do not take
it to get premium, prize to help friend get
premium prize.
This paper does not and never has used premiums
schemes of any sort to induce people to become sub
scrbers.
The that the people take and read The Press is
simply because this paper contains certain things and
tain kinds of reading matter gotten up and handled in
way that they cannot get in any other Spokane paper.
They buy The Press because they like to read it and for
no other Therefore they do read it every ISSUE
and they read it carefully and thoroughly. They have
the most time to read the Saturday edition Therefore
they read the Saturday edition the most carefully and
thoroughly.
The advertiser who The Press and does not take
advantage of the Saturday edition to get before it's t1
ers is certainly missing something good The nerchaL
certainly wouldn't think of closing his store day
week besides Sunday therefore why should he miss getting
before the readers of the papers day week If he
does he is is just wasting that much opportunity to get
business
Use the Saturday paper and it strong, Mr.. Adver
sed You will be surprised at the good results you will
get from it, Don't forget that that day you get
closer attention of the readers than probably any other day

There is nothing more welcome
at Yuletide than fruit, candies and
nuts. The fruit and nuts are, of
course, ready to eat with but little
preparation, but if candies are to
be made at home, it's time to be-
gin. And candies should be made
at home, for then they are pure
and are far more delicious than
the candy shop variety. Here are

GARY, Ind, Dec. 9.-Miss Ethel
Thayer, the daughter of Chicago
automobile dealer, has become the
bride of Louis A. Bryan, Gary's
only millionaire, whose first wife
she nursed through several years
of illness until her death more
than a year ago.
1t was a strange and romantic
courtship. Miss Thayer accom-
panied Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan on sew
eral long trips in quest of health
for Mrs. Bryan. At the same time,
it is evident now the nurse and Mr..
Bryan were falling in love quite
unknown to each other-perhaps
even to themselves.
Mr.. Bryan settled at Gary long
before there was a steel trust town
by that name, and made his money
by dividing his large tracts of land
into town lots. He once refused the
nomination for vice president on
the prohibition ticket. With his
bride he has left for an automobile
trip through barbarous and riotous
Mexico.

ORPHAN IS
HAPPY BRIDE

Eight years ago an orphan,
today a happily welded wife,
is the life story and romance
of Ella Mary Valentine, who
last evening was welded to
Victor Westerland in this city.
Eight years ago the Valen-
tine girl, then but eight years
of age, was taken from the
Home of the Friendless and
adopted into the home of H.
F. Porter, who has since cared
for her and raised her as his
daughter.
Owing to the immature age
of the bride, consent OF parent
or guardian was necessary be-
fore a marriage license would
be issued yesterday, and this
consent was readily given by
Mr.. Porter. And now the erst-
while friendless orphan is
blushing bride.
