ELMER JOHNSON MARRIES

The following write-up of the we'd
ding of Elmer Johnson, former Brook
ings county boy and a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilbur Johnson. is taken from
the Arapahoe, Colo, Record:
A very pretty wedding took place
Thursday, June IS, 1914, at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. N. A. Peugh when
their daughter Nora, (Topsy) was uni
ted in marriage to Elmer r. Johnson.
Mrs. Sadie Pell played the wedding
march in her mastery way and
promptly at $3.50 the contracting
parties took their places beneath beau,
tiful floral decorations. The marriage
ceremony was simple, but impressive,
as read by Rev. L. o. Smith of Weskan,
Kansas, at it's conclusion the young
nearly one hundred guests. Delicious
refreshments were served during the
evening.
The bride carried a bouquet of roses
and was beautifully gowned in white
shadow lace over messaline silk. The
bridegroom wore the conventional
black.
For the past eight years, Miss Peugh
has been a resident of Colorado, during
the last four years she has been a very
successful teacher. Her sweet DISPOSE
ton and christian attributes have en-
deared her to all. "None know her but
to love her, none name her but to
praise"
Mr.. Johnson came to Colorado from
Brookings. S. d., some four years ago.
He is an estimable young man OF
sterling character well worthy of his
choice. He is one of Cheyenne county's
successful farmers.
The wedding gifts were many and
varied and will bring to memory many
times pleasant thoughts of the mo,
mentous occasion and the donors.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson are at home to
their friends on his ranch.
The Record joins with it's readers in
wishing them the best of success and
happiness.

clover or alfalfa plants, the roots rot
off and it sends suckers into the stems
of the host. For this reason it derives
it's nourishment from the plants attack
ed. The dodder appears leafless to
the casual observer since the leaves
are reduced to mere scales. 1t appears
more as a fine twining yellowish vine
which forms a patch from a foot to
five or six feet in diameter. The
flowers. which are whitish or pinkish
in color, occur in clusters along the
slender stems. All stages from buds
to mature seed may be found in the in
dividual clusters. The dodder patches
may be the result of a single seed.
Dodder is an annual plant, but on ac-
count of it's ability to produce a large
amount of seed the patches become
more numerous from year TO year and
it is often taken for a perennial.
Being an annual plant, dodder yields
readily to cultivation. When dodder
occurs in small patches it may be sue
cessfully eradicated by digging up the
infested areas, allowing the plants TO
dry where they were taken up to avoid
scattering seed, and burning them.
Sprinkle the patches with oil before
burning. In an alfalfa field these
patches may later be reseeded-but
keep watch for any stray dodder plant
which may come up. Agricultural
seeds free from dodder should be sown
and a crop which contains dodder
should never be harvested for seed.
There is undoubtedly more legislation
against doder than against any other
seed.-By H. s. Coe, Consulting Botan-
list, Agricultural Experiment Station,

GRAVEL PROVES ITS WORTH

Watertown is observing good roads
day today by putting more gravel on
the boulevard between the city and
Lake Kampeska. On this day it is
by this stretch of what has come to be
the best highway in this section. Two
years ago one heavy rain was sufficient
to make this road practically impas-
sable for automobiles. 1t t~raverses a
section of somewhat sandy soil, not
w~ithstanding which a medium rain
made it a trail of mud. Last year by
volunteer effort the road was graveled
for approximately four miles. For sew
eral weeks after the g~raveling, the
surface coat was loose and soft, but
gradually the sand became packed and
hard. Today following days of heavy
rains it is almost as good as a pave
ment. At no time during the rainy
car owe this road.
The experience teaches that it pays
to gravel the highways. When work
is being done on the roads, %graveling
is not ~burdensome additional labor.
The effect is to preserve the value OF
the grading, and to lessen the amount
of future labor. In the end it makes
a real road that improves with time
and travel. With an abundance of
gravel available at a minimum of ex-
pense, the time should not be far dis

FACTORS IN RURAL SANITATION

ence at the college by DR.. c. C. Lipp,
head of the veterinary department OF
the State College:
1t will be the aim of the writer to
present in as brief but comprehensive
manner as possible some of the factors
that may be stimulated to increased
activity, in order that sanitary con-
ditions on farms may be improved.
With the present forces at work,
knowledge concerning matters of rural
sanitation is spreading. Hardly a fam.
lily exists even in the most isolated
rural community, that is not familiar
with many sanitary measures that
make for the better health, comfort,
and working efficiency. For instance.
practically every n knows that the
water supply should be clean and
pure; that the outside toilet rooms
should be located at suitable distances
from the house; that flies are not de-
sirable In kitchen and dining room.
Yet as you all know, sanitary condi-
tons are not always ideal. because the

UNIQUE COMMENCEMENT

Los Angeles, Cal, June %, 1914.
To the Register:
Rather unique commencement"
exercises were held in the Los Angeles
high school last Saturday evening,
when one hundred new citizens" re-
ceived their diplomas" or in other
words, their certificates of citizenship.
The exercises were preceded by a
dinner, when one hundred old citizens
acted as hosts to the new, each one
inviting one new citizen to be his
guest. The dinner was served in the
high school cafeteria and toasts were
given during the meal.
AT the close of the dinner, all ad-
journed to the auditorium where a pub.
lie meeting was held and several adj
dresses were made. The certificates
of citizenship were presented by Judge
Wood. In presenting them, he gave
some practical, helpful advice. He
told the new citizens to do some think
ing on their own account and to be-
ware of false leaders and political
bosses.
You must feel" he said, that you
have a vital part in helping solve the
great problems of the nation. Re,
spOnsibil'ty goes with citizenship. Do
not minimize your Importance to the
country. Get right into the harness
and contribute to the greatness OF
America" Judge Wood reminded all
present that these newly made citizens
became American citizens by their
own choice while the most of us were
citizens by no choice of our own. The
friendly and helpful advice, the patri'
otto music, furnished by the G.. A. r.
drum corps, and the hearty reception
to the newly made citizens can hardly
fail to make a deep impression upon
them of the privileges and responsible
tiles upon which they have entered.
This custom of welcoming new citi-
zens might well be initiated in other
cities of the United States.

PLACE WHERE COPPER
IS AS GOOD As GOLD
And 1t Is Surprisingly Cheap at
Balke's Big Curio Store

The real value of a Christmas gift
does not depend upon it's intrinsic
value but upon its beauty and the
fact that it is Christmas gift All
well-to-do people do not buy expen-
sive gifts but gifts they know will
be appreciated That is why there
is such demand for those articles
at Balke's Big Curio Store, made of
native Arizona copper. The buyers
know that the friends to whom they
are going to send them will appre-
ciate them as if they weree gold. For
the purposes they are intended they
are as good as gold and all of them
may be put to a useful purpose
They are as beautiful as gold and
they always will be Notwithstanding
they are made of copper for they
have been treated with a metallic
lacquer that will maintain their
sheen forever.
These copper articles were never
expensive; in fact, they were always
surprisingly cheap. Those who have
bought them before will be surprised
again to find how cheap they are

whose fathers are poor equal if they
do not surpass the delights of the

Probably one reason why we are
not moved enough at the thought of
the distress of poor children at this

much. There is nothing so very
tear compelling in a generalization
We consider it moment, it annoys
and we dismiss it.
But if you should see on your way
home this evening, Mr.. Big Brother

quite poor and her child before a

matter a more sober consideration.
You would see the mother entice the

know that the mother was feeling a
very poignant sorrow.
