WILSON AND BRIDE CURIOUS
CROWDS; TAKE TRAIN FOR VIRGINIA

to ceiling, with canopy of ferns ar
ranged as a huge shell, lined with
blooming Scotch heather. In the back
ground of the bower was set a mirroi
framed in orchids. Tall standards O
American beauty roses stood at eithe,
side of the bower, rising from masses
of lacelike cibotium ferns. In thu
bower stood the prize dieu of white
satin, adorned with maindenhair fern
and punches of orchids held in plac,
with ribbons.
Episcopal Service is Read.
It was just $3.50 p. m, when thu
president and Mrs. Gait arrived at the
altar and Mr.. Smith began the read
ing Of the Episcopal service.
When he asked: "Who giveth thi.
woman to be married to this MANI
Mrs. Boiling, mother of the bride
stepped forward, placed her hand il
that of the president, and answered
in low voice, Il do"
The president kissed the bride al
the conclusion Of the ceremony and
so did most of her relatives.
The ring used was Of the plainest
sort, rounded band made from Cali,
fornia nuggets presented to the presi,
dent some weeks ago by a delegation
Of young women from that state.
The guests observed that Mrs. Gait
responded In firm voice to the admo-
milton to "obey" as we'll as to love and
honor her husband.
Bride Cuts Wedding Cake.
A ripple of excitement among the
guests which communicated to the
president and his bride, marked the
close of the solemn ceremony and at
the same time an orchestra of string
instruments sounded a gayer note. The
president and Mrs. Wilson and their
guests, when the shower Of congrat-
ulations had subsidized, gathered about
the table in the dining room. The
bride cut the wedding cake, the health
Of the distinguished couple was drunk
and the ceremony was over.
By the time the wedding cake was
cut the mystery of the coming wedding
trip Of the president and Mrs. Wilson
was no longer mystery.
President Wilson took the newspa-
per men into his confidence early in
the day and informed them that his
plans were to leave for Hot Springs,
Va.
Catch Train at Alexandria.
At $3.50 p. NJ, the president and Mrs.
Wilson, with the eyes of the patient
crowd gathered in the street centered
on them. entered the White House
limousine and trailed by the secret
service men and police were driven to
Alexandria, Va, where they caught
the Honeymoon Special" for Hot
Springs.
AS they left the front door they
looked back at those within, and the
smiling, happy conferences of the
president and his lady were reflected
in the big mirror in the entrance hall
Banks of ferns about the mirror and
sprays of American beauty roses nod
ded goodbye as the cold night air
swept into the hallway. The wedding
was over.
How long the president and his bride
will remain at Hot Springs on the
honeymoon depends in some measure
upon the pressure of public affairs. II
the responsibilities of state do not in
tervene to demand the presidents re
turn to Washington it is probable they
will not come back before the end OF
two weeks.

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRO-
PRlATIONS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de.
mandS for the products OF farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports Ii
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea- a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the ocean 6
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
II are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The SiXty-second
Congress appropriated over $51 ,000,-
600 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $50000,000
annually In wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered
The latter item should be lifted Off
the backs of the farmer OF this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing it's appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of a free port
and none can be more easily and eff
fectively secured

THE VITAL PROBLEM Of
kGRICULT TURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
Of agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent $1S0,000,00 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 1t is problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods Of seed selection to
the most systematic and profita BILE
plans of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
Of the other We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side of our farm problems
also
We cannot nope to develop manu-
featuring by over-productlon of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
ale enterprises by the merchants load.
h5 their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul-
ture by glutting the market with a
surplus of products.

FAIR WARNING.

And now, they say they are going
to prohibit pink lemonade. The bac-
teriologist, or whoever it is that are
always discovering that something
particularly dear to our hearts is
deadly and dangerous, the bacteria
logists say that it has more germs
than Heintz has pickles. So it must
go. Well, all right. But by the
great central pole of the universe;
we want to warn you scientific ginks,
right here and now; don't go snoop,
ing around and discovering that it
is unsanitary to feed peanuts to the
elephant. For if you do, and you try
to have any laws passed prohibiting
that pinnacle of pastime, the great
American public will rise up on it's
hind legs and hurl the whole horde of
you, with hideous ruin and combus-
on, down to bottomless perdition.

DARIUS

The neigh of horse made Darius
King of Persia the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom This ancient method of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today
Ii our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of a horse, the
bark OF dog CT the bray of a donkey,
it would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
ree from political strife
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood of industry un-
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into a political arena and
by az clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quarrels must be settled
in the back alleys of civilization.

THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by
his host at a dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lutte, he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make a small
town great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who are good
"fddlers' but they cannot make a
small town a great city. We are over
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can't put brick and mortar together
We need builders
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory of a statesman is to construct,
and that it is better for a man that he
should build public highway than
that he should become Governor of a
state, and that he start a ploW than
that he become the author of law.
The true test of craftsmanship is the
plOW and the hammer. so let thos-
who would govern, first build.

ARIZONA BUREAU OF MINES.

The enrolment in the College of
Mines at the University of Arizona
is an assured thing for the fall open
ing. There are at present 200 under
graduates of other mining schools in
Arizona working for the summer and
many of them have already signified
their intention of finishing their
work at the university.
They are attracted by the prosper
Gus condition of the mining indus
try in the state and by the new
features added to the college of mines
work for next year.
peculiarly attractive feature to
be added is the application of the
Gary system to mining education.
This is impossible to apply in other
mining colleges but owing to the ad-
VanIageOuS geographical location or
Tucson, it is to be put in vogue at
the university ofArizona
By this system the mining students
in the senior year will use the field
as their laboratory approximately for
half OF the time and their work will
be in the actual operations at sue
cessful mines. This method gives de-
cided advantages in teaching the ap-
plication Of the theory to practice as
we'll as giving the students much
broader and practical training. The
university fears no competition ON
its new feature as it is the only
mining school in the United States
that is so situated that this system
may be used.

WILSON SAYS READ THE BIBLE

| am sorry for men who do not
read the Bible every day; l wonder
why they deprive themselves of the
strength and of the pleasure 1t is
one OF the most singular books in the
world for every time you open it
some old text that you have read a
score of times suddenly beams with a
new meaning. There is no other book
that l know of which this is true;
there is no other book that yields it's
meaning so personally, that seems to
fit itself so intimately to the very
spirit that is seeking it's guidance

SUGGESTIONS FOR BOOSTING
Don't be the man who put sit in
city.
Building good houses builds good
town.
Save a little money and save a lot
of worry.
Good roads lead not only to town,
but to money.
Be a live one and the town will
never be dead one.
A nice front porch has prevented
many an old maid.
Why should the town muzzle dogs
and not knockers?
When someone plans to help
town, plan to help the plan.
The best plans man can have to
the future are house plans.
A good way to make the world bet
ter is to begin with the home town.
A town is like a perambulator; it
isn't much good unless it is pushed.
Don't spend all your time telling
what you could do if you had some
time.
Be ball player. The thing he is
always working for is home.
Be one of the leaders of the town
if you can; but, anyway, keep up.
If you think COW can't laugh for
joy, let somebody sell you a good
silo.
Don't be a crouch. Everybody in
this town wishes you we'll, even the
doctor
Let's not be trying to stop some
thing all of the time. Let's start
something
A good town will do more to keep
the boys at home than good advice.
A town is like a girl. It's wonder
full what a little fixing up will do for
her.
Opportunity knocks once at every
mans door; better be at home when
the lady calls.
The world owes every man a liv-
ing, but the street corner is a poor
collection agency.
Don't look for soft snaps; hard
snaps are the ones that have the
ginger in them.
Don't spend so much time talking
Iof+ tn
talk business.
II you would like to have some
body working for you, put little
money in the bank.
1t improves the soup to throw
little pepper into it. Same way with
town.
If you spend all that you earn, the
other fellow is banking your money.
Many young man goes away to
seek his fortune when Fortune is
seeking for him at home
Plaster your house and everybody
will follow your example Lath and
the world laths with you
You've got to be a citizen in order
to vote; but you've got to do a good
deal more than vote to be a citizen
The big things we're not all done
in the big towns. The greatest poem
in the English language was written
in a country churchyard
There is only one better man than
the man who gets behind and pushes
in an effort to improve the town,
and that's the man who goes ahead
and pulls.

MODERN LULLABY.

Rock-a-bye, baby up on the bough,
You get your milk from certified
COW.
Before your eugenic young parents
were wed
They'd already decided how you
should be fed
Hush-a7bye, baby on the tree-top,
If grandmother trots you just tell
her to stop;
Shun the trot-horse that grandmother
rides
1t will work harm to your little
sides.

'tCol. Goethals eabled our New York
main office, just before | left there
three weeks ago, that it was impos.
sible for him to make any prediction
as to when the canal will be open
again for traffic. said Mr.. Morse. He
said it would be four or five months,
and it is agreed in New York now that
it will be April or May before ships
can begin passing through once
more" - s+~ IL. ......~.
Mr.. Morse said American-Haw
steamers will sail from island ports
for New York via Magellan every 10
days, beginning December 16. The
American-Hawaiian has decided not
to neglect the islands, although it
could charter its vessels for transat.
lantic and South American business,
and name its own price" he said. Mr..
Morse added that the new American
Hawaiian steamer Floridan will be
ready for service by February 1.
