II was unique, and so far as
we know the first that has been
pulled off on top of the Twin

last Sunday.
Judge Allen was the man who
said the words that made the
happy couple one, while Mr.. acd
Mrs. Hitchcock, Herb Homsher,
Dillo OXenraider, and the Miss
e. Mamie Rose and Jennie Bar
bee were present to see that ev-
erything went off in apple-pie
order.
The marriage took place at
high noon, after which the mer-
ry group repaired to the creek
and enjoyed a tineand appetizing
spread under cottonwood tree.
Then the happy couple and
those accom- panyinG returned to
Springfield, and in the Silly
night of the same day, when all
was peacefully calm and many
were IN hliSstful slumber, deaf
enin@ din of see. saving and rat

kne th1t there had been a we'd

some pretty severe bruises that kept
him in bed sor day or SO.
Miss Lila Rolfe, a student in the
Clio High School couple of years ago,
died at her home in Flint. the latter
part of last week, as result of minor
surgical operation which she had undes-
gone short time previously. She was

is impossible for Mr.. Hotchkiss to use
his hand very much, and eminent sur
geoes who have been consulted do not
seem to be very optimistic regarding
recovery. His many friends will SYM

newsy paper, which they ought, as we
believe they do, appreciate and support.
Postmaster Jones has called our at
tention to letter on display in the
postoffice which has been returned to
Clio from Chicago and marked fraud
ulent" This means that the firm to
whom the letter is addressed, The Elec-
tro-C Chemical Co., is fraud and the
government will not deliver mail to it.
In the present instance the sender of
the letter, which very likely contains
money, failed to place his name on the
envelope and therefore it may have to
be sent to the dead letter office before
| it can be returned to him. A very
small investment will secure q supply
of envelopes with your name and adj
dress printed thereon and would render
your mail not only neat looking but con-
siderably safer in transmission.

STANDS BY MISS BISSELL.

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Slr-I think the members of the
LEGISLATURE should be very slow in
changing or in any way interfering
with the Child Labor Law. The cry
OF the Democrats is for a change and
the interjection of the name Of Sauls-
bury into the investigation in this
city on Saturday was bad. The law
is all right and part of the commits
sion is all right. Il would be glori-
Gus If we had more Miss Bissells.
Her whole life has been spent in the
interest Of humanity. If she is ap-
pointed to do anything. she does il
and does II we'll. BY belonging to
different organizations know that
when q number of persons are ap-
pointed on committees that one or
two do the work. Miss Bissell does
her part She lives in this city where
the largest number of children are
employed and the duty fell upon her
Z to see that the work was rightly done.
II is common talk of men who sec
them that children are allowed 20
work tha- arc not of the proper age.
! On one occasion | was in Magis-
! tratc RObertsOn's Office when a man
! brought in a girl TO get a certificate.
/ Mr.. Robertson asked the father tho
age of the daughter and before the
father could tell, the girl said she
was eleven years old. | suppose that
in a large number of cases when
children are not Of proper age the
people who are interested go to Miss
Bissell knowing such cases will be
Investigated in proper manner.
( Church or politics should not enter
irtO this question. II would have
been better for the cause if MIR. Sauls-
bury's and Father Waldron's names
/ had been left out Of this case. My
wish is that we had more Miss Bis
sells. She is of old Delaware Revo-
lutionary stock.
Yours truly,

HIGH ocean Rates
Discourage FOREIGN TRADE

That the biz increase in ocean freight
rates will have the effect of discourag-
ing trade is the opinion OF Wilmington
exporters, though a considerable mum.
Der of them did not care to enter into
a discussion of the subject.
II is held that in the end. the man
on the other side, who buys goods. will
be compelled TO pay the freight and this
will discourage him buying more than
he is actually compelled to purchase.
The traffic department OF the DUPONT
Powder Company said that they would
be considerably affected. No one cares
to transport explosives at any time it
another cargo can be secured In the
end the purchaser pays the freight and
he is the man who will object
AT the office of the Charles Baird
I Company morocco manufacturers, II
was stated that the man on the other
end who bought the goods was the man
who had to pay the freight. IL was

comparatively few places TO which mo

SNOW STORMS COSTLY

Street railway managers in Whining
ton are hoping there will be no snow.
War makes snowstorms costly for the
railways. A snowstorm means the Wig.
orous use of power swecpers. The use
of swcepers means the wearing out OF
numerous brushes made Of rattan.
Rattan is the only satisfactory ma
terial for brushes Rattan comes from
Il province controlled by Germany. The
war has stopped its shipment.
