BISMARCK ELOPERS IN AUTO
CRASH ON WAY TO WE'D
Miss Halle Ramsey, 16, and Loveland
+. Plank Married at Dir. Harrel's
Home.

Miss Halle Ramsey, 16 years old,
whose marriage was prevented Sat-
urday by her father, 0. W. Ramsey,
wealthy bspker of Bismarck, Mo-,
overcame obstacles and was married
yesterday to Loveland F. Plank, man
ager of the Bismarck Electric plant,
after they had obtained license in
Clayton.
While the couple were being taken
to the home of DR.. Walter E. Harrel,
cousin of Miss Ramsey, at 6201 Et-
eel avenue, the automobile in which
they were riding was wrecked in an
attempt to avoid colliding with Ho-
diamont car.
After the father had returned home
and had given his consent to the mar
riage by long distance telephone, the
couple went to Clayton with DR.. Har-
raj, where they secured the license.
Then they went to 4124 West Pine
Boulevard, where Miss Ramsey had
been in hiding from her father, to
get her belongings, and were on their
way to the Harral residence, where
the ceremony was to be performed,
when their machine struck a telephone
pole.
The automobile was driven by Will
liam Hanson, 6416 Etzel avenue. He
was driving west on Etzel avenue.
AS he approached the Hodiamont car
line he said he looked either way for
car, and then started to cross the
tracks.
At the same time, he said, he saw
car approaching rapidly from the
north, and in order to prevent it from
running into the machine, he swerv-
ed sharply to the left.
A large telephone pole stopped the
machine, and it was said to have been
totally wrecked. This was only two
blocks from the residence and as none
Of the passengers were hurt they
abandoned the wreck and walked to
the Harral home.
Rev. DIR. Martin 7. Hall, pastor of
the Cabanne Methodist Episcopal
Church, had been summoned to per-
form the ceremony at 6 o'clock. At
ter the ceremony the couple left, but
said they would remain several days
in St. Louis before leaving for their
home in Bismarck.
Miss Ramsey and Plank left Bis
marck Friday to be married in st.
Louis. o, W. Ramsey, the girls fa-
ther, Immediately followed, and Sat
urday had detectives searching for
his daughter.
He stationed two men at the st.
Louis and Clayton marriage license
offices, respectively, and instructed
them to cause the arrest of his daugh-
ter and plank should they appear for
a license.
Miss Ramsey said they learned Of
the father being in st. Louis Sat
urday morning, and decided to re-
main in hiding until he should leave
DIR. Harral was appealed to Saturday,
and he had conference with Ramsey
at the American Hotel. He said he

uregd the father to give his consent.
DIR. Harral said he then saw the
girl and urged her fathers objections
but that he was told that she would
be married whether there were objec-
tions or not. When this information
was conveyed back to Ramsey he left
for his home without giving his con
sent.
A conversation held yesterday morn
ing over the long-distahce telephone

the afternoon is said to have resulted
in the father extending his blessings.

W. A. G.'s ENTERTAIN

Saturday night the WA. G. Glass
Of the M. e. Church entertained the
people Of the church, both young and
old. The evening was spent in mu-
sic and games, most Of which relat-
ed to music; the new piano was "ded-
icated' and it was used great deal
during the evening. About sixty al
together were present, and everybody
enjoyed the informal good time,
which the w. A. G.'S had provided.
Dainty refreshments were served and
the party disbanded at late hour.

HOME ECONOMICS IN THE
FARMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL

It has been brought to my atten-
ton that the people Of Harrington
have now the splendid opportunity of
providing for course of Home Ec-
onomics in their schools. The teach
ing of Home Economics in the public
school is no new innovation. Schools
of this kind are found Throughout the
Middle Western States, and in no case
would the people of those localities
permit of their being eliminated. The
people in those localities believe that
Home Economics is one of the most
important branches that is taught in
their schools.
Taking the situation in Farming
ton, we find that course of Home
Economics can be put in the High
School for, in the neighborhood of
$1,200O0. After the first year, the
annual expenses for plans as propos-
ed now will be $4,000 to 100000. At
schools are hiring instructors to teach
Latin, German, French and even
Greek in some cases. While the val
ue Of these courses must not be under
estimated, yet how much more valu-
able for our girls would be training
along the lines of Home-making?
Our girls, of whom a large majority
will eventually have homes of their
own to manage, are the ones who are
going to suffer if we do not provide
such training for them in the high
school. The percentage of girls who
receive college training is very low
and our problem rests with the large
majority of girls who quit their school
ing at the end of high school course.
1t is common record that we often
find girls marrying and are absolute
ly untitled for the duties necessary in
founding happy home.
Take mathematics, the subject on
which our schools place great empha-
sis, and which is certainly very inn
portant branch of learning. But
don't we all remember how much time
we have spent in figuring out some
foolish problem? Why, / remember
one in arithmetic where three men
! bought grindstone in partnership.
One man was to grind off his one
third, the next man was to grind off
his third, and the third man was to
have the third remaining, Well /
expect that most Of us could not work
out this problem. | know | could not
and did not want to try it very hard
I did not believe such a case ever hap
pened anyway.
Here is the point. After / had
graduated from high shcool, l. knew
lot of things, but did not know
how to do those things that would fit
me for my life,s work. My high
schooling had absolutely failed to
equip me for the greatest of all
things, making a living. And our
High Schools are now failing tc equip
our girls with that greatest Of all
things, making successful home

These county conventions will make
