Grandpa Wilson And
Mrs. Gait Married

Washington, Dec. 19.--Presi-
dent Wilson and Mrs. Edith
Boiling Gait were married at
$3.50 o'clock last night and left
afterward to spend their honey
moon at Hot Springs, Va. The
president and his bride travel
ed in a private car attached to
a special train leaving W ashing-
ton at 11:10 o'clock.
The president dined as usual
at the White House at 7o'clock
with his daughters and after
ward drove to his brides home,
about a mile from the executive
mansion. A cold, driving rain,
which swept the city all day,
cleared off at sunset and the
evening was cool and pleasant.
Because the wedding arrange
ments and the hour of the cere-
mony had been kept a close Sc
cret there were few on the
streets about the White House,
but near the brides home the
crowd was held back by police
lines spread during the after
noon.
Everything was in readiness
for the ceremony when the
president arrived and it pro-
ceeded without music. Neither
the president nor Mrs. Gait had
any attendants and there were
no ushers or flower girls. Mel
Their the army, navy, nor the dip
lomatic corps was represented,
and the occasion was essential
ly what both had wished it to
be-a home wedding.
President Wilson is SO and
his bride 43 years of age.

Clark and all the congressman
fooled? Is it possible that this
is so, and that nobody but the
editor of the Sharp County Rec
ord and his friend up at Bates
vile knows just what sort of a
dirty whelp Bill is?
AS before stated, it is a well
known fact that the Record
supported Congressman Old
field up until two years ago.
He has won m roeerocgsppdfad
He has won more recognition
in congress since that time than
he ever won before land this
fact is admitted by everybody.
Yet the Sharp County Record
joins into a dirty fight on him
and is silly enough to believe
it can fool the people into
thinking that it is doing sofrom
principle.
But what we what to know
is, why don't the Record come
clean and tell just what Old
field has done, or has failed to
do, that has so lowered him in
it's estimation?
Oldfield's record is an open
book, and as a pubic servant he
is subject to criticism when he
violates the confidence of the
people or goes contrary totheir
best interests.
If the Record knows of in
stances where Oldfield has
been direlict in the discharge of
his official duty, why does it
not point out the specific in
stances, tell the people about it
plainly and boldly and quit

stores. The newspapers are filled
with big announcements Of spe-
cial sales or low priced goods.
They are not afraid of the mail
order houses because they have
the same means to reach the
people - advertising : that
makes the mail order house
great. The merchants have their
local association for mutual
help, and behindt the association
the local newspaper is pushing,
pushing, pushing. Everybody
is working and everybody is
happy and boosting. IfyouWant
a live town get behind thenews-
paper and help boost the town.
Forget the timeWorn arguments
that the paper is a dead one.
The paper is alive enough ifthe
people are alive. The surest test
of a live town is a live neWspa-
per and the newspapers can't
be alive unless the town boost
ers do their share.

THE DEAD TOWN

Did you ever go into a town
and, as you stepped from the
train, have it strike yousudden-
ly that the town was dead?
Have you ever had a town de-
scribed to you a"dead town?
Have you ever stopped to anal
we just what is meant by these
words dead town." In the last
analysis they mean just one
thing-and that is that the mer-
chants of the town don't adver-
tise.
A dead town hascertain posi-
tive aspects of demise which are
as bald as a piece of crepe hang
ing on the door of a private
house. The storekeepers seem
to be wing with each other to

THE TEACHERS HELP

The rural pubic school has a
great opportunity in opening
the way to our rural homes. 1t
can get the attention of moth
ers, fathers and children when
other means fail.Why not use it
ut as a social center through
which which the people may
Improve their FARMS, homes,
and the social life of the COM
munity?
The school is the logical
place to begin work for the
benefit of education and gener-
al information on farming. The
pupils and rarents may bcinte--
ested. The boys and girls clubs
can do more to disseminate in
formation and inspiration for
better farming than the lectur-
es of the experts and the bull
letins, many of which are valu-
able.
Every school in the country
should be headquarters for
farmers Institutes, boys and
girls clubs, demonstrations on
practical agricultural subjects
and every teacher should be a
director of extension in trying
to reach the homes of the pupils
and parents.
Could all the teachers of the
Southwest be induced to take
an activei interest in better
farming, better rural society
and better rural citizenship as
well as better schools, the work
lof rural progress would be
greatly fastened. When the
lpeople see a vision of better ru-
raj life and learn how to pro-
duce more and market it better
then they will provide better
schools and paw their teachers
better.-Farln and Ranch.
