Is YEARS OF
MARRIED LIFE
Mr.. and Mrs. w. N. Powell Surprised
By Friends on Twenty-ffth Mar
riage Anniversary.

One OF the recent pleasant social
events of our city was surprise
given Mr.. and Mrs. w. N. Powell at
their residence Friday evening, Oc-
tober tenth, the OCCASION being the
twenty-fifth anniversary of their
marriage.
During the evening few of the
neighbors and immediate friends
gathered at the home of Mr.. w. F.
Powell and thence proceeded in a
body to the residence of the bride
and groom. To say that Mrs. Powell
was taken wholly by surprise is
stating it mildly but with her usual
ease and grace she proceeded to
make the callers welcome, summon
ing to her aid, in the meantime, Mr..
Powell who was absent when the
guests arrived. 49,. ~
The evening was pleasantly spent,
socially, until at about eleven
o'clock it was announced that the
Wedding supper was served, when
one and all proceeded to partake of
the good things provided eor the oc-
casion. At the close of the supper
Mr.. w. F. Powell in his inimitabIe
manner presented the br de with
beautiful silver baking dish and set
OF sterling spoons, simply as slight
token of the high esteem, in which
both herself and the groom, were
held by their many friends. Mr..
Powell's remarks were given over
principally to "reminiscences of w.
Ms courtship days, of which it
seems, w. r. had been an interested
observer.
The remarks of Mr.. Powell were
responded to- by the groom, in be-
half the bride, in few well
chosen words OF thanks.
After all the friends had joined in
wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Powell hearth
est congratulations, 'good-nights''
were said and the guests departed
to their several homes.
Practically all of the married life
OF Mr. and Mrs. Powell has been
spent in our city, where their fam
lily of splendid children have been
reared and where the father and
mother have always stood On the
side Of those things that are just
and of good report.
Thus may we wish for them an
other twenty-five years of happi-
ness and usefulness.

-. .'zsi i.f.E."
WEEK.

r. b. - -
Mr. c., A. Tullar is slated by the
powers that be in the democratic
party for the position of postmaster
at Warren. This week a petition
asking for his appointment s being
circulated and generally signed ask
ing for his appointment, although
this formality is entirely superflu-

could to ''whoop it up" for Wilson,
hence the president cannot afford to
ignore his claims for recognition.
There have been several other re-
ceptive candidates among the faith
full in the city for the positi q soon
to become vacant, but it is general
ly conceded that Mr.. Tullar has the
inside track and is sure to land the
appointment. Mr.. Tullar is an hon
orable man and is well worthy of
holding. the high and responsible
position of postmaster of this city.

from typhoid, died last night at the
city hospital. The funeral will be

MARSHALL COUNTY BOYS MAKE
H. GOOD

Barney Peterson has been visiting
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
Peterson in this city, for a couple
days this week. He is a Marshall
county boy who is making good. Af-
ter graduating from the Warren
High School six years ago, he be-
came student at the State Univer-
sity, taking the civil engineering
course. Last spring he graduated
from the university and Immediate
ly after entered the service of the
D. S. government. During the past
summer he has been engaged in ge-
illogical survey work at mternation-
al Falls and other places in this
state. He leaves tonight for st.
Paul where he will receive orders
to go either to Washington ID. c., or
Seattle, Wash, for the winter. His
chum and cIassmate in the Warren

took the engineering course at the
university, graduating also last
spring. He is at present employed
in geological survey work at Lake of
the Woods. The fact that these
two farmer boys, born near Alvara-

VOTING ALIEN CITIZEN
Supreme Court Holds That FOreign.
er Recognized at Polls is an
American.

A foreigner who has voted TO a
long period of years is presumed
to be a citizen, according to a Su-
preme Court opinion handed down
last week. ,> 9s.s =.
School districts in Isanti and An
Okla counties wished to consolidate.
Mike Samletzke, Anoka county, sign
ed the petition. Without hrs name
there would not have been sufficient
signers, and it was alleged that he
was an alien.
It appars that SamIetzke was born
in Germany in 1865 land came tc
Wisconsin with his father in 1872
His father is known to have taken
out his first papers but there is nc
record of a second instrument. De-
spite this, Samletzke has voted since
1886, when he became of age, anG
never gave the matter of citizenship
a thought until the present suit was
Instituted. ~
The Court held as follows:
Proof that foreign-born resi-
dent has voted, when voting without
naturalization is crime, raises q
presumption of naturalization; ane
this presumption arises through the
naturalization of the one voting
comes through the naturalization o1
his father.
Applying the law stated to the ev-
idence it is held that a resident OF
this state, born in Germany, who
had voted many years in this coun-
try, was a citizen, is justified.

JUST THINK OF II.

lust THINK OF IT.
u A little boy once said TO his
schoolmates, Il don't make any
more mistakes in my music This
little boy had such poor eyrsight
that he could not read letters three
and one-haH inches square more
than six feet away from him and
yet he had been repeatedly punish
ed by his violin teacher for making
mistakes while taking his lessons.
Just think of it; punished for maxi
ing mistakes when he could not see
his notes plainly!
How did he find out that his eyes
were weak? His school olteacher
had been making tests Of the sight
of her pupils and had discovered
that this boy could not see we'll.
She reported the fact to his parents
who got glasses that made him the
happiest boy in the school, saved
him many undeserved punish shments
and caused him to say, II don't
make any more mistakes in my mu-
Sic .@
This boy did not know, nor did
his parents know, but that he saw
as we'll as every other boy, and his
mistakes were thought to be from
carelessness and inattention.
This same boy afterwards be-
came a noted yiollnist, was educat-
ed abroad and played before royal
ty. His glasses enabled him to see
Ibis notes plainly and he made no
more mistakes in his reading music.
There have been thousands of
just such boys and girls in our pub
lie schools in the past, who have
been stumbling along, hating their
lessons, scolded and punished by
their teachers and parents. just be-
cause they had a defect Of vision of
which they and their parents and
teacher were ignorant.
Parents, do you know that your
children have good eyesight? Do
you know that they are not "long-
sighted" ''near-sighted,' or 'tcolor
blind?" Do they often complain Of
being tired, or of having a head
ache when they return home from
school? Do they dislike school? Are
they sleepy and dull when trying to
learn their home tasksg IS it hard
for them to- keep up with their
class? Are they Inclined to play
hookey?' Then do not punish and
seoId them, until you first find out
if there is not some physical cause
behind it all, so that you may not
regret later and blame yourself for
neglect or injustice to one of your
own. .ss
: ignorance of the law is no excuse
to the lawbreaker in court. Igno-
rance is no excuse for neglect of
your children. Fifty per cent. of
the blindness caused by separation
Of the retina (the sight seeing
membrane within the eye) occurs
in people who are near-sighted
Many of the headaches of children
and others are the result of eye
strain caused by the attempt of the
delicate eye muscles to overcome
the defect. This overtaxing of
them strains the eye muscles, then
the letters blur or run together, the
child feels tired and the eyes pain
or headache follows.
Do not neglect your children's
eyes!

Testimonial for @. Murk's Weed
EradiCatOr. 55.5
Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 20, 1919.
q. Murk,
f4T Notre Dame Ave-,
Winnipeg.

141d N0Lre Dame Ave., Y#
Winnipeg.
Dear Sir:
4 have been asked by my mother
Mrs. w. H. Perry, Of Plimpt n,
I Map toba, to write y u note iii re-
gard to the Weed Eradicator, which
you placed with US last year.
We must say that we are more
than pleased with the resu tts that
were accomplished last summer
with your machine. Our farm IS
certainly dirty with SOW thistle. The
weather conditions were against us
last year, and we were able only to
summer fall W about thirty-five
acres. However, we followed ut
your directions as nearly as pos
slble and the results are simply
amazing. We have had people go
down IN this summer fallow and dig
numerous ul[erou places to endeavor7to find
the weed roots and nothing what
ever was found.
This is positive proof of your con-
Itention that by this method the
weeds are completely destroyed not
onsthe surface only, but also every
root in the ground. '
Ehls summer falloW will be
Iplanted to crop this coming sum-
mer and the only regret that we
have, is that we could not summer
fallow the whole balance of the
farm with this machine. We are
however, going to do as much as
possible this summer with it.
H we could clean up the balance
OF our farm by going over it several
times with this machine this year
1--we feel that we could at least more
than double the number of bushels
Iper acre in the following season.
However, we are going to do as
much as we can, and as the machine
fgoes over a lot of ground on account
of not having to pillow, we may be
Liable to do SO.
We would recommend the ma
Eehine to any farmer who has dirty
farm and is only receiving a sma1:
return for his labors. With this
llne it has heen proven that il
mot only does away with the pleyy
entirely but gives far better resuias
/ than the old-fashioned methods of
Isummerfallowing. IT leaves the land
entirely clean and free. from al,
roots, and gives grain a chance i.
grow without being choked out.
/ We might say that any perscr in
Iterested in the working of this ma
chine or the results obtained from
lit, could not do better than see it at
our farm two and a half miles north
of Plimpton, Manitoba, or if any in
formation is required to kindly call
on the writer at so Princess Street
We might state, in conclusion,
that we have tried everything in the
shape of Agricultural machinery to
kill the weeds, but without results,
and we recommend Mr.. Murk's ma
chine to be given a fair trial. In
fact, Mr.. Murk guarantees results
himself, provided the machine is
worked according to his directions.
This should appeal to every fair
minded farmer who is desirous OF
increasing the yield per acre on his
| farm. ~:
| Yours truly, .>::.
