Wedding Bells

At $50 o'clock Thursday evening

and Mrs. w, W. Rawles, occurred the
MARRIAGE of Mrs Rawles' brother,
MIR. Johnnie C. Brooks to Miss Mag
gle Welsh, both parties residents of
Germantown.
The wedding was a quiet home
affair, only relatives and intimate
friends of the young couple being
present. Rev. j. F. Brakefield per.
formed the CEREMONY.
The Rawles home was beautiful.
ly decorated with holiday green
and red, but the most attractive OF
the decorations were the arches OF
the magnolia leaves and artificial
magnolia blossoms, so real that
more than one took an unconscious
smell before thinking that real
blossoms were not quite in season.
Arches of magnolia were over all
doors leading into the hall, also
diaing room. One arch larger and
more beautiful than all, spanned
the center of the hall, from the top
of which hung a large wedding bell.
The bridal pair, attended by Miss
Madee Porche and Mr.. Ellis Powell,
entered and passed down the hall
and stood under the marriage bell,
to the tune of a wedding march.
The bride was lovely in blue silk
and the groom was handsomely
attired in black.
After the ceremony the guests
were invited to the dining room
where tables fairly eroaned under
their load of good things, and
real wedding supper was enjoyed
by all.
Everyone voted MIR. and Mrs
Rawles ideal entertainers and de
parted wishing the young couple
just all the happiness life coult
possibly contain for them.

ASSIST OUR EX-SENATOR I?

The Pleasant forces are moving
heaven and earth to make a good
showing in Washington parish be-
cause of the bad effect the loss of
the parish would have upon the
prospective candidacy of Jared
Sanders for Congress; in fact. the
important thing with the friends of
Sanders seems to be the candidacy
of j. Y. for Congress and not the

How to Ejoht the Scab,

Prof. l.. G. Atherton, of the agricul.
tural department of the state normal
school, has issued a few suggestions to
farmers relative to scab in small grain
that affected so many fields last year
owing to the wet season. If the com.
ing season should be quite dry there
will be little trouble with scab, in
his opinion. On the other hand, if the
should be as wet as last year,
scab will be prevalent again, unless
means are used to prevent it. The
treatment suggested is as follows: /.
Treat all infected grain used for seed
with formaldehyde, as for smut. One
pint Of formaldehyde to IS gallons of
water is an effective seed spray. Wet
the grain we'll by sprinkling or spray
ing, and cover to hold gas. 2. Ro-
tate crops. Do not SOW barley or
wheat on land that produced "scabby"
barley or wheat. Use the "scabby"
fields for corn, potatoes or oats.

Education, which seemed to men

strongest factor in bringing her back

University of South Dakota in a re-
cent address at Vermillion on THE
Progress of Woman" The school and
