end.
Who will win, is now the question.
No one can tell Effort will get re-
suits and there are several who
know how, and will make the prop
er effort. A pleasant feature of the
contest, is the willingness of the
public to aid the contestants by Civ

general good feeling is seen every
where.
The contest manager is anxious to
impress upon contestants the advan-

WHITE HOUSE NuPTIALS
MAY 8, is THE REPORT

Washington, April 15.-Altho there
has been no formal announcement
from the White House OF the date for
the wedding of Secretary McAdoo and
Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, young
est daughter Of the President and
Mrs. Wilson, friends who are in a po
sition to know say Friday, May S, has
been tentatively selected. The cere
mony is expected to be private, Mr.
McAdoo's colleagues in the cabinet be-
ing practically the only guests of the
two families.
During the last few days Washing
ton saciety has come to accept it as
settled that the wedding would take
place the first week in May, and also
that the invitation list would be very
small. 1T is taken for granted that
whatever preparations are made for
the event will not require the time and
busy activity which preceded the
wedding last November.
Miss Wilson's trousseau, it is said, is
practically complete.

4 CASE Of MISTAKEN
IDENTITY At MT. AIRY

Mount Airy, April 15.-On yesterday
ct the Southern depot here, there was
an unusual case of mistaken identity
and this time it was corpse instead
OF a living person. A large crowd Of
negroes had congregated at the depot
to meet the remains of colored man
who had died away from here. Upon
the arrival of the noon train corpse
was unloaded from the train and
placed upon the platform, but the
caskee bore the name Of another
person ON the outside, and this some
what puzzled those who cPme 90 pay
their respects to former friend. The
railroad men could not solve the prob
lem and it was decided to open the
casket to see if the wrong casket had
been brought here. The caskeat con-
tanned the remains of beautiful white
young lady, but nobody seemed to
know who she was and there were no
friends or relatives to meet the body.
1t was afterward learned that the
young lady died in Winston-Sa and
her people, up in the mountains, were
unaware OF her death.

RICH MAN A DOG CATCHER;
JOB PUSHED ON MILLIONAIRE.

Chicago Inter Ocean:) New Trier
township, Chicago suburb, has come
to the bat, after Tuesday election, with
Sherman M. Booth, a millionaire at
torney, as dog catcher.
His duties, y'know, will be to pur-
sue the elusive canine-be he flop
cared cottontail chaser or a thorough
bred brindle bull-through the streets.
Once the animal is captured, it is to
be made prisoner in a covered van,
and taken thence to the pound, there
to await the arrival of it's owner or
death. Sure, just like regular dog
catcher!
But let it be understood right here
that Mr.. Booth didn't seek his cleo
ton to this highly important position.
Rather, the people of his community
called him to it-just like they call
presidents-and now he feels that it
is his duty to accept. But just the
same, he has a sneaking feeling that
his political opponents have slipped
something over on him.
You see, Mr.. Booth is a leader in the
Progressive party, and his wife is con-
spicuous in national woman suffrage
C1TCl0S. LII Tic udyS pI0C0ulHS Tic
election Mr.. Booth made number of
speeches in the interest of the New
Trier Good Government League, of
which he is president. But neither the
league nor its opponents made nom
ination for dog catcher.
The position was spoken of, but
there seemed to be no one who was
eager to accept it on the fee basis.
However, when the ballots were count
ed it was found that Mr.. Booths name
had been written in more frequently
than that of any other person.
Mr.. Booth has his suspicious, but,
nevertheless, will accept the job, and
promises to be a-good official. Now
New Trier is expecting to awake some
morning to find a sedate millionaire
chasing yellow dogs through their
front yards.
Wat, dye mean We lost your dog?"
quotes Booth now most every oppor-
tunity he gets. He says that's to be
his one and only question for would
be dog tax dodgers.

BRIDE DECIDES NOT TO WE'D;

A fashionable church wedding had

/ Friday night Miss Young ran into
the room where her father, mother,
and guests were seated:
Daddy, l can't; oh, I can't" she
sobbed.
Then turning to Mr.. Hall, Miss
Young explained: II am not sure that
/ love you, Rowland 5. mean, love
you enough to marry you"
A few hours later Mr.. Hall started
back to Worcester.

c Hal R MAN GAUGH
! MUST SIGN NAME
1890 TIMES

Mt. Airy, April 15.-Chairman of the
board of county commissioners, w. S.
Gaugh, of Elkin, is here with a consid-
cradle task on his hands, for he will
have to sign-his name 1880 times be-
fore Mt. Airy can realize any cash
from the sale of her eighty thousand
dollars worth of road bonds. There
are eighty bonds which the register of
deeds has already signed, but the
chairman must affix his signature to
sixty coupons that accompany each
thousand dollar bond before these i'm
portant documents become valid.
There has been considerable delay
in the disposition of these bonds. Sew
eral months ago they were sold to a
Cleveland, Ohio, concern, which dis
covered some alleged irregularity, and
the matter has just been adjusted and
as soon as they are signed the money
will be forthcoming. This sale in
cludes the entire issue of eighty thou
sand dollars, twenty thousand OF
which were taken over by the local
banks.
This means that road Improvement
in this township will begin at once,
and for that purpose sixty thousand
dollars will be available. The town
ship already has about sixteen miles
of modern sand clay roads and it is
estimated that this will complete the
work and give the township first class
roads.
Street Work.
On yesterday the city street force
began grading South Main street pre-
paratory to the construction of tar
via street like North Main completed
last fall. With their new equipment
the authorities will devote the entire
summer to the permanent improve
ment of Main, Pine and Franklin
streets.

hour yesterday.
Clear skies and warm weather
brought out the thousands, and the
accentuated costumes now so greatly
in vogue were represented in all sorts
of startling variations
1t was an Easter exhibition rlvaling
the world-famous show at the Long
champs races.
Moreover, it was a day of joy for
the stout women-for the bullying
skirts and pleated effects served to
conceal the true figures and to make
the thin fat and the fat no fatter.
Startling headgear made the street
look like moving picture mass OF
palms and strange feathers. Many
persons notable in the smart sci
watched the parade or participated in
it.
