DEVELOPING WOOD PULP INDUSTRIES.

The Canadian government through its department of forests, is receiv-

1t is stipulated that every bidder must be prepared in event OF receiving the
grant to build a pulp and paper mill, to employ q stated number of men in
the woods and in the mills, and to turn out a certain tonnage Of paper each
day, the receiver of the grant also promising to invest q certain amount OF
money in the plants. The Canadian government has adopted these means to

wealth Of woodlands.

A large suite in the Homestead
Hotel at Hot Springs had been re-

give them as much privacy as pos
sible during their stay in the Virginia

Dominion for their honeymoon be-
cause it was in that state both were
born.
Rev. DIR. Herbert Scott Smith, rector
of st. Margaret's Protestant Eptsr
copal Church, of which Mrs. Gait is

was assisted by the Rev. DR.. James H.

Church, which President Wilson at
tends. The Episcopal service, which
includes the word "obey," was used.

Extreme simplicity marked every
detail of the wedding, which took

try-she is happy that the blood of
veins. The record is one from a little
wigwam pitched on the western shore
of Virginia to the White House.
Mrs. Wilson has lived in Washing
ton for 10 years, as Mrs. Norman Gait.
Her late husband was a member of
one of the oldest families Of the cap
ital. She has many friends here, in
the neighborhood in which she lived
in Twentieth street.
She never aspired for leadership in
society-she never cared for a rush of
| entertainment such as occurs to mem
bers of the better known set of Wash
ington. The newspapers, until the an
nouncement Of her engagement to the
president, never printed her'name in
big type-they hardly ever printed it
at all.
But the announcement from the
White House that she was engaged to
marry the president of the United
States changed it all. The %searchlight
was turned on her history.
The bride Of the president is AZ
years old, although she might be
taken for much less. She is a daughter
of the late Judge William H. Boiling
Of Wytheville, Va, who was promi-
nent throughout the state as a lawyer
and jurist. She is one of nine chill
dren.
Her mother, Mrs. William H. Boil
ling, together with her sister, Miss
Bertha Boiling, have made their home
with her in Washington since the
Boiling residence in Wytheville. has
been closed.

Among the guests gathered to wit

There were two daughters in the

For Ruth was quiet as a mouse,
While Gladys loved to frolic.

And married Parson Borus;

BY going in the chorus!

Rabbi CronbaCh Tells River

There are certain muscles that can
be exercised only through laughter.
Laughter is social corrective.
Laughter is a plane that smOOths out

Of our social relations People who
detest one another cannot laugh to-

together they get TO liking one an
other better. A joke can prevent i'm

While the hours of sorrow are
those of prOfOundest spiritual sig

have a spiritual value. Exception

insincere and laughter which is OBJ

1T is noticeable that much of our
Joking deals with the disasters and
