Wooden Wedding Anniversary

Dear Miss Doom:
am invited to a wooden wedding
anniversary the middle of this
week. Kindly suggest some appro-
pirate and inexpensive gift, and, if
possible. a little verse or a line.
Thanking you in advance,
S. l..
1t is rather difficult to think of a
wooden gift that will not be eX-
pensive, particularly in this sum-
mer weather, when blankets, rugs,
afghans, etc, convey no idea Of
comfort.
a two-yard square MackinaW
blanket, to be folded at the foot of
couch, in readiness for the forty
wink time, would be appreciated, I
am very sure.
How do you like this toast:
Here's to the health of the happy
pair,
May good luck meet them every
where.
And may each day of welded bliss
Be always just as sweet as this.

favorable comment Of the German
cause on unreliable war news, Sc
cured entirely through English,
French or Russian channels.
As a number Of prominent
metropolitan dailies remind their
readers, War reports must be con,
.sidered as news coming from the
enemies Of Germany, which itself
is cut off from communication
with the outside world.
W. declare that ii is not only a
great wrong, but against the best
interests Of our adopted country
and harmful to civilization at
large that the great German EN-.
'pire and its highly civilized peo-
pie to whom so many of our people
are linked by the strongest ties of
blood, should be held up to the
American public as the foes Of
