E[ABORATE CEREMONY MARKS
 THE LUHRs STROUD N!PTIALS

Distinguished for it's elaborate ap- pointments, the wedding last evening of Miss Emma Luhrs, daughter of MT. and Mrs. George H. N. Luhrs, and pr. Reginald Stroud of Gleeson was one year. The ceremony and the recep- tion which followed took place at the apartments of the brides parents at the Commercial hotel only the rela- tives and few close friends being present.
 The decorative scheme combining, La France roses. Canterbury Bells, Shasta daisies, and carnations with the usual fernery and palms as a background was wonderfully effective. Not only was the bridal bower a thing of beauty but everywhere about the reception rooms, the halls and the veranda were given an artistic .touch by the clever net work of greens re- lieved by graceful rose clusters and lovers knots of pale pink tulle. Per haps the most effective feature was the improvised altar. Hollow pedes- tals filled with feathery ferns were topped by miniature palms. Tal baskets of ferns and here and there flowers Tn profusion lent a charm tha was indescribable. The pink tone tha predominated was conceived in rose! and the fluffy tulle bows that inter mingled among the bloom. The aisl, was formed by pink tulle streamers the straight line being broken by al l o6d knot or bow. The archway tha divided the reception rooms was out 1 lined in ferns and here too, toucl of tulle heightened the effect.

 A pleasing comparison was drawn yesterday by Mir. .5imms, in that a s6,000,o00 bond issue was sold in 1906, the premium being only s6,600. The fact that the treasurer was able to get such a big price for the bonds, was very gratifying to him. Before he advertised for their sale, he was informed by leading financial men of the state that the sale would be i'm possible to negotiate.

Our neighbors on the south would
not have needed the remedies that the
American soldiers are about to give
them if they had been busy all these
years struggling with one another
under the guidance of the title men.
TO speak in plain terms, Mexico
would be a proserous nation and a
good neighbor If she had attracted
settlers who would develop and de-
fend individually owned rural homes.
Okahoma's assured pre-eminence
in the matter Of small land holdings
is due
First T} the fact that the land has
all been granted to individuals in
tracts ranging from one hundred sixty
acres down to very small tracts.
Secondly, To tn eprovisions Of the
state constitution that levy acumula'
tive land tax on large individual hold
ings and prohibit the owning of rural
land by corporations.
Thirdly, TO legislation that pro
tects against debt homestead paying
its axes and keeping free from
mortgage
Fourthly. TO such provisions as the
low rate of interest allowed by the
school fund TO borrowers who live on
the land mortgaged.
To Make Titles Good.
With all these provisions for the
building up of state with small land
holdings, the title men are co.operat-
ing in an effort to make titles good.
They are striving to correct whatever
errors of the ignorant or frauds of the
CIlilllHdl may hu't hnuc 'touuo va
titles. Any blemishes there may be
are quite recent and now is the time
to remove them We are not good
if we do not work with a
purpose to make good titles.
Oklahoma may take hope from the
fact that the struggle for land
acquisition here will bring to the
front a thrifty opulaton and will give
all this state eventually to a citizen
