Mt. Vernon News: Christmas
morning at 1880 a. m. in the M. E.
parsonage occurred the wedding OF
Mr.. Orvis P. McMasters and Miss
Mae Burns. The young COUPE were
accompanied by Leslie Burns and
Miss Mae Burns, brother and sister
of the bride, who acted as grooms-
man and bridesmaid to the bride and
groom.
The bride is the oldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. c. Burns a prominent
farmer living Z miles southwest OF
here. She is a former student of Da-
kota Wesleyan University, a charm
ing young lady and popular among
her associates. Mr.. McMasters is an
industrious young farmer of good
habits and a splendid reputation.
They will move in the spring to the
r. Il. Thomas farm, now occupied
by Mr.. Olive, six miles south of town.
After the ceremony the bridal
party drove back to the home of the
bride, where a wedding dinner await
ed them. The bride was gowned in
white and the groom wore conven-
tional black.

session Will be required. Neither the
president nor the majority In CON
gross desired II and as a result con-
gress went to work at the opening
u the session with q determination
to finish Its appointed tasks by
March 4th.
The short session has never permit
ted the development of any preten-
tion program for new Legislation.
However. there are at least four
measures upon which the president
seems exceedingly anxious to obtain
definite action at an early moment.
These include the ship purchase bill,
the bill extending self-government in
the Philippines, rural credit legisla-
tion and the conservation bill.
There is decided opposition to the
ship purchase and conservation bills
and a disposition to examine closely
into the whole subject OF rural
credits before passing any law on tho
subject. The Republicans may con
clude to fight the Philippine bill and
II 80 they can easily prevent it's pass
age at this session.
Every one of these measures will
require more or less lengthy hear
ings, to say nothing of the debates.
They are all of first class Importance
and such bills do not go through
without extended consideration.
Republican leaders, or at least
some Of them. would relish an extra
session. The Democratic membership
in the next House will be consider
ably reduced and there will there
fore be more opportunity. for the
Manufacture Of political capital for
use in 1916. 1t is a fair guess even
Iat this Nate that an extra session
Will be required II the president is
70 secure action on the measures he
regards as urgent.

kARKET INDICATIONS FAVOR
EXTENSIVE POTATO PLANTING

Therefore grow potatoes to fill these
increasing demands that are coming
for the 1915 crop.
Potash is a requisite in the east,
for successful potato growing. This
year potash fertilizers are limited
in quantity and high in the market.
Result, many of these farmers cut
down potato acreages accordingly.
Our great crop, preparing for sue
cessful potato growing is alfalfa and
we do not need commercial fertilizer.
We can grow nearly twice the crop
at but little more than half the ex-
pense our eastern friend can on his
down east" farm. Therefore, this
year, plant that extra field to pota-
toes and get for yourself the en-
HANGED value for the crop.
Cleaner ground, use of clean stock
seed brings good quality CONNER
cial stock and will win, this year,
rich rewards for the Colorado potato
farmer. Let us therefore get busy"
with the crop.

CHANGES IN RURAL
ROUTE TO Be BENEFIT

Route No. l, out of Monte Vista,
Will be changed somewhat when the
new rural route from Center is es-
tablished, which will probably be
within a week or two. Patrons re-
siding within few miles of Center
have heretofore been served by the
Monte Vista carrier whose route was
an unusually long one on that ac-
count. The Center rural route will
be as follows: Starting at Center,
will go to the Nelson corner, thence
east to Worth corner west to Small
ley corner, north to White corner,
west to Slater corner, south to Brown
corner, west to Frost corner, south
to Harper corner, north to Siphon
corner, east to Frost corner, north
to Roedel corner, east to Miles cor
ner and north to postoffice.
The Monte Vista route is short
ened six miles, otherwise remaining
as formerly. It's northern limit is
the road running east from the Har-
per corner. A number of the patrons
on this route, as well as the Center
route, will be more expeditiously
and conveniently served by reason
of the change.

ney. The Hamilton holds a note of

by each of these banks cannot be de-

We are advised by the cashier of
the First National bank of Monte
Vista that the Sylvesters do not owe
that institution one cent The Wal
lace bank holds mortgage upon the
o. w. Sylvester home ranch, which
protects whatever Indebtedness there
is owing them. There is, therefore
no furry locally caused by the fnan-

EYIVESTERS FORCED TO WALL
BY THEIR UNEASY CREDITORS
,nksrs Seize All Property Of Monte Vista Sheepmen to
Protect Big Loans Made Debts May be Exaggerated

The concerted action of the bank
|rs holding mortgages on sheep and
lottle owned by l.. B., j. j. and U. W..
kv,yester resulted in an attachment
h all the property of the Sylvester
Iovs Monday of this week. Horses,
bttle sheep, automobiles, real es-
ate farms and other property were
|eized by representatives of the
Mortgage holders in the nervous
eramble to get their share.
The Sylvesters are known as big
kockmen and their operations have
cen carried on a large scale. This
ecessitated borrowing Of funds and
he loans were secured by mortgages
h the stuff. While it is claimed
hat the debts incurred may reach
he half million mark, the fact also
emains that the Sylvesters are pos
essed of great numbers of sheep
nd cattle, valuable ranches and
hinge rights. Their applications for
Fazing privilege on the National for
BIT this year include $500 head of
title and 10000 head of sheep, and
is not uncommon for the Sylves-
Prs to pay the government $500
