later in the evening without mask
ing.

o. A. G. Romance Has Happy Ending.
Roseburg Review: A romance
that began at the Oregon Agricul-
tural College two years ago had a
happy elimination at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. l.. Kitchin, South
Jackson street, this city, last even
ing, November 27, when their daugh-
ter, Miss Fay became the bride of
Roy Cooley of Smith River, Cal. The
bridal couple left this morning for
their future home at Smith River,
where Mr.. Cooley is engaged in the
cannery and lumber business.
The ring ceremony that united the
young couple amid a beautiful floral
sitting in the parlor of the Kitchin
home at $3.50 o'clack was performed
by Rev. j. MacAllister of the Pres
byterian church. Aside from imme-
diate relatives, only a few close
friends were in attendance. The for
mer included Miss Myrtle Cooley,
sister of the groom, and the latter
Ellis Dement, of Myrtle Point, who
attended Mr.. Cooley, and Charles
Sitton of McMinnville.
Mr. Cooley and his bride first met
at the Oregon Agricultural College,
where both were students Previ-
ously, Miss Kitcnin graduated from
the Roseburg high school. After
leaving college she taught school in
the younger social set.
White chrysanthemums, ferns and
smilaX adorned the interior of the
Kitchin home for the happy occasion.
Mrs. R. M. Brumfield, seated at the
piano, sang "All For YOU" then to
the strains of Mendelssohn' ever
popular wedding march the bridal
party advanced to the place of the
nuptial ceremony. Resting on the
arm of her father, the bride looked
handsome in gown of white Char
meuse, surmounted with a veil
caught with orange blossoms. She
carried a shower bouquet of orange
blossoms and bride roses. Her sis
ter, Miss Inez Kitchin, who acted as
maid of honor, wore a very pretty
dress of yellow marquisette over
messaline.
A largely attended reception was
held from 9 to 10 o'clock.

Says We Should LET Up" on Apple
Planting.


Herbert Quick, editor of Farm and
Fireside, says in the current issue of
his publications:
i want to repeat that don't see
the justification for much more ap-
pie planting. We have come to the
point now at which the feverish ap-
pie boom of the past few years be-
gins to affect the market. The crop
this year is immense. We have had
similar experiences in the past and
after each spasm of planting, the
fruit has sold for about the cost of
production or less for several years.
The millions of young trees which
are being tended so solicitously now
IN every apple-growing region are in
the ground, and alive, and they are
going to bear Pessimism? Well,
some people can't tell the difference
between pessimism and common
sense"

The high school band and many
other students in autos and on foot

players at the depot on Friday even
ing. The boys were taken in autos
to their hotel Among the Albany
players is brother of William Mar
guam of this high school.
Mr. Manion showed his poor foot
ball judgment by backing o. A. c.
against Oregon in the recent foot
ball game and is now out the price
of a feed, while Mr.. st. John exults
in the victory of his alma mater ard
also enjoys aforesaid repast.
Miss Florence Olds started a new
fad in dresses by appearing in the
assembly room completely enveloyed
in kitchen apron.
Don West, a nephew of Mrs. NJ. C.
Bresser of 19 Gresham street, and
cousin of Mr.. st. John, is expected
to enter the high school today. He
arrived Friday evening from Ana
helm Cal, where he has been at
tending high school. He will enter
the freshman class.
The freshman girls are organizing
a social club to be known as the
'Sodalians," from Latin word
meaning friends or companions. The
organization is yet in embryo, so nc
particulars can be given.
The hospital brigade has been pret.
ty large lately Mr.. Manion suffered
severely from a cold and a high fe,

affirmative argument, while Donal
McAllister and William Rebec VI

Leaks on the Farmland Every
where.

Leaks on the Farmland Every
The following is taken from the
current issue of Farm and Fireside:
The little leaks on the farm seem
innumerable.
There is the waste occasioned by
poor fences. Waste in both money
and time Live stock will in an
hours time ruin enough of a crop to
more than pay for a new fence.
I'VE find high-priced farm ma
chinery unprotected and weather.
beaten standing in various places
about the farm.
IF the housewife would set SIS
sewing machine in the rain for an
hour she would be branded as a
good-for-nothing careless housewife,
and rightly so, but what about the
husband that leaves a $50 binder
in the rain, sun, snow and sleet for
months, and the corn plow where he
finished the last row of corn, and
the wheat drill half full of wheat in
the corner of the field until time to
use them again?
Corn is thrown to the hogs on
muddy ground, bushels at a time,
and half of it is wasted Good, fresh,
warm separator milk is poured into
leaky trough to the pigs, and the
greater part of it is permitted to
soak into the ground.
Live stock is not properly pro-
teCted in the winter, and a greater
amount of feed is necessary. Hay
and other roughage is fed in such
manner that the greater amount of
it is trampled under the animals
feet.
The average American farmer
makes money, communes with ma
ture continuously, lives in approved
American style, enjoys life thorough |
ly, but think of his bank account be-
ing doubled, just simply by stopping |
the leaks"
