lCrown Prince George of Greece and Prin-
cess Elizabeth of Roumania (top). Crown
Prince Alexander of Servia and Grand
Duchess Olga (center), and Prince Carol
of Roumania and Grand Duchess Tati-
ana (bottom).l
would be formidable to any foes and
would probably be the beginning of
great and strong nations instead Of the
discontinued and warning factions.
1t is said that Crown Prince George
of Greece is to marry Princess Eliza
beth of Roumania. This princess is
one Of the most handsome and at
tractive members of any royal family,
and she has had many suitors. This
marriage would bind Greece and Rou-
mania together. and their interests
would be one.
The second wedding would bind Ser
via and Russia together more closely.
1t is asserted that the crown prince Of
the Servians, Alexander. is engaged to
marry Grand Duchess Olga. eldest
daughter of the cZar Of Russia. This
union would bind little Servia with
the great Russian nation and thereby
guarantee fair play for Servia in all
disputes. whereas in the recent Balkan
war it appeared to the Servians that
they were not getting the best of it in
the division of the spells of the war.
The third wedding that has been
planned by rumor is that of Prince
Carol, son of the crown prince of Rou-
mania, to the Grand Duchess Tatiana,
second daughter Of the car Of Russia.
This marriage would unite Roumania
and Russia and likewise would bring
Roumania and Servia closer together,
as sisters would be the wives Of the
future rulers of these two nations.

EDITORIAL.

In last weeks issue, our superin-
tendent, in announcing his candidacy
in the Times-Democrat contest, ask
ed for the cordial support of the
town people.
Now. boys and girls, it's up to you
to help win an auto for the superin-
tendent-our former principal. 1t
is but our duty to him, who has so
faithfully watched over us for so
many years. One who has .exerted
every effort to make the D. H. S.
what it is; who has ever been on
the alert for our welfare; who has
spared no pains to do all he could
for us. IS it not time we should do
something in recognition?
Opportunity has knocked at our
door. Shall we hurriedly let it en-
ter or shall we Idly sleep away, and
let it go by unanswered?
Surely we must answer the call
and as s'true blue'' do our very
best. We certainly owe it to Mr..
Rusca, and it is indeed a timely
chance to show our colors. He has
helped us, in more ways than one.
Now let us answer his call and be-
gin to work.
The. task is quite simple-much
easier than that which he performed
for US. Only cut out the votes in
the Times-Democrat and bring them
to Mr.. Rusca or to the Seniors, who
are collecting them for him.
Easy work, did you say? Quite
easy, so let us all get busy and
see how much We can accomplish.
Remember, boys and girls, it's up
to you. Do it now. Any subserip-
tons will be appreciated, but don't
forget the votes. After all, maybe
We will get a ride. Do it now.
