Labrador Romance Cu.minates In
 Wedding Today
Especial to The Farmer }

 Fairfield, March 2S.-A romance that began in the world famous mis- sion of Dr. Grenfell at Labrador, cul-
 minated in Fairfield today at noon at the historic parsonage of the First Congregational church when Miss Theodore Child, daughter of the Rev
 Frank Samuel Child, became the bride of Warland Wight. MT. Wight and Miss Child met each other for the first time at Dr. Gren- felFs mission, where MT. Wight was acting as pr. GrenfelPs secretary and
 Miss Child had volunteered as train ed nurse.
 The marriage ceremony was simple,
 and was performed by the brides
 father. The house was beautifully
 decorated for the occasion and the attendance was limited to the immed-
 fate relatives and friends of the con-
 tracting couple. After the ceremony an elaborate wedding breakfast was
 served and MT. and Mrs. Wight left
 for Boston where they are to make their home.

ROWDYISM AT THE CENTER


 Complaints have been made to the proper authorities that many of the boys at the Center school, together with outside boys who are not pupils are making all kinds of trouble for the teachers. The authorities are not anxious to prosecute the boys, but stated that 1t would have to be done unless the boys stopped their nuis- ances at once. Of late the boys have been playing tricks upon the younger scholars and upon the teachers, such as placing live chickens in the school room, tying the doors in such man. ner that the teachers were unable to open them, throwing tin cans and other missiles into the rooms and in sending in fake excuses to ask a pu> pill to come out, when they would in various ways plague the innocent pu- pill. The same crowd has also of late been creating a disturbance at the public library. The authorities asked the Farmer to warn the boys in a friendly way and give them a chance to stop before the law takes a hand in the matter.
