Wednesday evening. when Miss Eliza
beth Tanner Banks. daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. q. w. Banks, OF Shepherdstown,
became the wife OF Mr.. Walter Timber
lake Fredeking. Of Hinton, w. Va. The
ceremony took place upon the lawn adj
joining the home of the bride on King
street, and was performed by Rev. !. A.
Curran, rector OF the Catholic Church.
The wedding marches were played by
Mr. Richard Spohn. In the presence OF
small number of relatives and friends
the happy young couple were united in
the holy bonds of matrimony, the cere-
mony being both beautiful and impressive.
The maid OF honor was Miss Julia Moore,
OF Charles Town, who wore an exquisite
gown of green taffeta, draped with chiffon
and pearls. She carried Golden Gate
roses. The bridesmaids wore taffeta gowns
and carried roses and sweet peas. They

town, who wore pink; Miss Hildred
Marlatt, of Harper's Ferry, whose gown
was lavender; Miss Corinne Rogers, of
Shepherdstown, who wore yellow; and
Miss Edith Gardner, OF this vicinity, who
was dressed in blue. Thus the rainbow
idea was perfectly carried out. The
flower girl was Mary Louise Lucas, who
wore white lingerie dress. The best

groomsmen were Mr.. S. J. Graham, Mr..

herdstown.
The bride was given in marriage by her
father. She looked lovely in gown Of

quet OF Bride roses and lilies OF the valley.
Immediately after the wedding re-
ception was held, which was attended by
large number OF invited guests and
which was most delightful social affair.
After the bride and groom had received
the congratulations of their friends they
left on wedding trip, and will later go
10 Hinton, where they will reside. The
groom has a beautiful new home for his
BRIDE. completely furnished and all ready

A Big Day On The Farm.

<
Yesterday was big day on the farm OF
|. D. VanMetre near Kearneysville, when
large gathering OF farmers and their
families from Jefferson and Berkeley
counties and other persons from tar and
near assembled in a picnic and general
agricultural field day. Included in the
gathering were farm experts who made
practical addresses to the people and
interested them in various phases OF farm
life and work. Among these were |. W.
Hill, OF Washington, superintendent OF
boys clubs of fifteen Southern States
Nat T. Frame, State agent in charge OF
county agents in West Virginia; Prof. c.
r. Ttlow, director of agricultural extern
sion at the West Virginia University q.
L. Oliver, dairy extension specialist; w.
d. linn, county agent OF Harrison county;
and agricultural and stock specialists from
this section. A bountiful dinner was en-
loyed under the shade of the trees, and
the editor was among those who did JUS
tice to Mr.. and Mrs. VanMetre's country
ham, chicken. spring lamb and other
good things. One of the features OF the
occasion was the inspection OF Mr.. Van
Metres model dairy barn and equipment.
Ia large. airy building. clean as good
housekeeping could make it, were fifty
fine milk cows, and every modern con-
venience for their care and for sanitary
perfection was to be observed. The
milk from this herd is taken to the sepa-
rator house, where the cream is extracted
and the product shipped to Washington.
Mr.. VanMetre is an alfalfa specialist, and
has hundred acres of this valuable
crop, which is The principal food OF his
dairy herd. The day was an altogether
ENJOYABLE and beneficial one, and those
who were so much interested have de-
cided to keep up the good work and have
more OF them.
The advocates OF equal suffrage were
present and made use OF the opportunity
to do good work for the cause. Address
es were made by Mrs. Charlotte Pendle-
ton GoIdSborough and Mrs. Edwin 5.
Jarrett, who were introduced by Hon. A.
S. cambridge.

delivered by Rev. Richard N. Edwards,
'93, of GIyndon, Nd His talk was a
thoughtful and inspiring one, the theme
being the value Of education as afounda-
ton for LIES work. The history OF the
class of rs was given in an interesting
and original manner bY DR.. James M.
Ransom, of Charles Town, who had gone
TO great trouble and effort TO make it
complete. The history of '03, by DR..
Ernest H. Bitner, OF Martinsburg. was
most enjoyable, being told by DR.. Bitner
in his own inimitable way. Vocal solos
were rendered by Mrs. John w. Link, '07,
of Strasburg, and Mrs. Oliver Chitwood
'06, of Morgantown.
Immediately after these exercises, the
annual alumni banquet was held in the
Domestic Science Hall, with some 200
persons pres ent. A delightful repast was
served, after which the toasts were given.
S. ]. Hodges was POSTMASTER, and a
very pleasing one. Edwin Miller, 'l6,
responded to the toast, "Our Newest
Alumni" Agnes Cady Chitwood, '06. of
Morgantown, TO "School Days." Louise

promptu toasts were given also by Dr..
w. E. Byers, of Baltimore, Mrs. Eleanor
Knutti, of Morgantown. and S. o. Bond,
school supervisor Of ShepherdStown dis
trict. The enthusiasm ofthose who spoke,
and their love and loyalty for Shepherd
College, made the occasion one long to
be remembered. We think that there
has never been more enjoyable gather
ing of the Alumni Association.
AT the business meeting Of the Alumni
Association the following officers were
elected: S. J. Hodges. '93. president;
VIM. B. Snyder, 'O9, and Mrs. M. S. R.

EoIIies of Prohibition.

On the first day Of the year the pro
hibition law of the State of Wash
ington went into effect, and Seattle,
willy-nilly, became, officially and
nominally at least, dry. On the 10th
the coroner's records showed seven
deaths from alcoholism, four of men
who had drunk wood alcohol, two of
men who had INDUCED too freely in
whiskey, and one of a woman whose
craving for her accustomed beverage
could not be satisfied because of the
new law. 1t never seems to occur to
prohibition advocates that anything
is involved in their agitation except
the moral issue" they put at the fore
front That sudden stopping of
long-continued habits might mean In
jury to health or happiness is Of as
small moment to them as the right of
the individual to live his life in his
own way in such matters as these
The Seattle incident, whether ac-
curately reported in the newspaper
dispatches or not, is an illustration of
ihC cuOiiiC vi ZIG pIO-
hibitionists to the results of their &C
tivity. They come too near to being
satisfied If they get a prohibition law
upon the statute books. Naturally,
they would like to see it enforced, but
the experience of Maine proves that
they would rather have an unenforced
prohibition law than not to have such
law at all. In similar way they
refuse to consider, the effect of their
movement upon the use Of harmful
drugs. It is enough for, them that they
get rid of the particular traffic which
they, have decided to oppose. If. in
doing this, they encourage another
AM much worse traffic. that is none
of their affair. Let somebody else
deal with that problem.
1t takes rather high degree OF self
confidence to hold a position of this
sort, but the prohibitionists seem to
have stock of this virtue. Ordinary
persons, however, must be excused
for asking whether such a course is
one that the country ought to follow |

CHlMNEYS ON LAMPS.
Why They Prevent the Lighted Wicks
From Smoking.

When a lamp is burning without a
chimney it generally smokes. That Is
because the oil which is coming IN
through the wick is being only par
TALLY burned. The carbon, which is
about one-half Of what the oil con-
tains. is not being burned at all and
goes off into the air in little black
specks with the gases which are
thrown off. The reason the carbon is
not burned when the chimney is of is
that there is not sufficient oxygen from
the mir combining with it as it is sep
arated from the oil in the partial COM
bustion that is going on.
To make the carbon in the oil burn
you must mix it with plenty Of oxy-
gen at a certain temperature. and this
can only be done by forcing sufficient
oxygen through the flame to bring the
heat of the flame to the point where
the carbon will combine with it and
burn. M
When you put the chimney on the
lamp you create draft which forces
more oxygen through the fame. brings
the heat up to the proper temperature
and enables the carbon TO combine
with it and burn. When you take the
chimney off again the heat goes down
when the draft is shut off and the
lamp smokes again.
The chimney also protects the fame
of the lamp from drafts from the sides
and above and helps to make a bright
err light. because steady light Is
brighter than tliokering one.
The draft created by the chimney
also forces the gases produced by the
burning oil up and away from the
flame. Some of these gases have
tendency to put out light or fire.
