FIFTY YEARS JOINED IN MAR
RIAGF

Not many married couples reach
their golden wedding. Now and again
such thing transpires, as happened
in the life of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen
Crosby this week. The Times man
was an invited guest and greatly en-
joycd the feast of good things and
the fellowship of spirit revealed on
the glad occasion. Time has dealt
kindly with this happy pair. They
have much to be thankful for and
they show in their daily lives a com
mendable spirit of gratitude to kind
Providence.
Fifty years yoked together, for
good or ill-fOr life. This thing of
marriage is a serious business. In
our humble judgment a woman is to
be congratulated who has for fifty
years stood side by side to the man
of her choice, ministering to him,
comforting him, encouraging him. A
loyal life partner is treasure beyond
price. A man and woman, one man
and one woman, linked in a life des-
tiny and for fifty years keeping step
it is beautiful, it is a blessed union
ordained of God; it is a sacred thing.
Our congratulations May the God
who has so signally blessed these
hearts give to them Increasing com
fort and peace. May the years span
far before the sunset comes, and when
it does come, as it must, may there be
silver and gold Innings to the gather
ing clouds that are kissed by it's dying
rays

The mighty wars in Europe are
making history. Great rulers are
pitted the one against the other. Am

of these leaders. Incidentally, it may
be added, there are few millions
dead, crippled, blinded, disfgured. But
what matters that? What is one man,
a million men-provded the lust for
power is gratified? And yet, one can
not escape the conclusion that these

that there will be a day of just set

On last Monday the directors of the
Union County Fair association held a
meeting and each man of of them, in
Guiding also the secretary of the. asso-
citation, pulled out fifty-five dollars and
paid it into the treasury. This amount
each one had to contribute to make up
the deficiency of this years fair and
to carry the interest on the debt al
ready resting upon the organization.
We say again, this public spirit shown
by these citizens is worthy of high
praise. The unselfshness they here
manifested should arouse the entire
country to the necessary degree of
enthusiasm for the future success of
the fair. And we sincerely believe it
will so result. 1t will be a great step
forward if the people of the county
will come together now and make a
bigger and better fair than we have
yet held.

There are two extremes in the view

There are two extremes in the views
held upon the question of national de-
fense. There are those who throw
fits at the mere thought of the coun-
ty making any preparation beyond the
merest beginning. There are others
who "throw fits" at the mere prospect
of anything less than the complete en-
throning of militiarism. Both these
views are wrong, dead wrong. There
is a happy medium-the path that
wise men and true patriots may walk
in unafraid and with safety. We be-
lieve, too, that the great majority of
our people are sane enough to choose
this happy middle ground.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER II, 1918

The merchant who complains of the
inroads of the mail order house and
who yet does not advertise in his To-
cal paper is not to be greatly pittied.
Self help is the first requisition in
the conducting of any business. There
is no doubt of the fact that the mail
order houses are making heavy in
roads upon the retail merchants. The
best defense the local merchant has
against this condition is a campaign
of honest advertising.

GREEK PARENTS
ATTEMPT INFANT|C|DE
New Born Baby Thrown From Win
dow of No. 1e Yesterday Near
MonteIIo-StiIl Alive

A most sickening story was brought
to Elko yesterday of an atempt by
Greek parents to destroy the life OF
new born baby. The woman gave
birth to the child in the toilet of a cal
attached to No. 10, shortly before the
train reached Montello. She wrapped
it in an undergarment and threw il
from the window while the train was
running at high-speed. About two
hours later the child was found about
eighteen feet from the track, half a
mile east of Montello by a trackwalk
er.
Strange as it may seem the child is
still alive and it is believed that IL
will live. 1t was slightly bruised
about the head, and one of its feet
was injured. Across the abdomen the
little one was considerably bruised by
cinders, and in places they. were
ground into the flesh. The trackwalll,
er carried the child to Montello and il
was placed under the care of a doctor
When the train reached Montello
the parents got off owing to the con.
dition of the mother, which was such
she could not travel.
District Attorney Carville investi.
gated the case this morning and he
SAYS that If the child lives a charge
of attempted murder will be placed
against the parents. If it dies the
charge will be murder. The father
seems to be equally guilty with the
mother.

names of Mr.. and Mrs. Christos Zane.
