Pierce-Delano

Last Thursday afternoon the pleasant
farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert L.
Delano on the Elmore Mountain road
was the scene of a pretty wedding, when
their daughter, Emma Faith. became the
bride of Charles Elmer Pierce, of Fitz-
william, N. H. Rev. Walter E. Baker,
pastor of the First Congregational
church of Morrisville, performed the cere-
mony in the presence of about fifty rela-
tives and intimate friends.
The ceremony was performed in the
parlor, which was very prettily decorated
with evergreen and sweet peas, an arch,
under which the bridal party stood, being
cleverly arranged to form the initials of
the bride and groom.
The bridal party catered the parlor to
the strains of ohengrin's wedding march,
played by Miss Katherine Campbell of
Gardner, Mass, the bride on the arm OF
her father being preceded by her maid OF
honor, Miss Marion Kendall of Gardner,
Mass, with Shirley Gould as flower girl
and Clara Phelps as ring bearer. How
ard Delano brother, of the bride, acted
as best man.
The Episcopal ring service was used.
The bride was becomingly attired in
white crepe de chine. trimmed with white
satin, and carried bridal bouquet OF
white sweet peas. The maid of honor
wore pink crepe de chine and carried pink
sweet peas.
Following the ceremony a short recep-
ton was held, during which refreshments
of ice cream and cake were served by the
Misses Susan Delano, Vera Gilbert, Min
ME Bliss and Clover Gould. The dining
room was decorated with pond lilies
Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce were the recipients
of many beautiful and useful gifts, includ-
ing linen, cut glass, silver, etc. The
couple left by automobile for their we'd
ding trip and will be at home to their
friends at Fitzwilliam. N. H., after Sep
TENDER 1. They were accompanied, or
rather pursued, by two auto loads of
young people, who made sure that their
departure was properly heralded.
Among those to attend the wedding
from out of town were Charles F. Pierce,
father of the groom, of Fitzwilliam, N.
H., Mrs. Butler of Boston, Mrs. Alexan-
der Smith of Fitchburg, Mass, and the
Misses Marion Kendall and Katherine
Campbell of Gardner, Mass.
Tine bride Is one of Morristown's well
known young ladies, having always re-
sided at the Delano homestead on the
Mountain road until graduating from
Peoples Academy in the class of 1907.
Following her graduation she went to
the Fitchburg, Mass, Normal school,
where she graduated in the class of 1911.

schools of Fitzwilliam, N. H., and Gard

A Farm Loan Frost
From the Boston Herald.

FROM the DOStoH Ilcidu.
Happily, August frosts are not COM
mon in New England. but it is evident
that the new federal farm loan board ran
into one at it's hearings in Maine and
New Hampshire. Presumably, as the
board works westward withits hearings
it may find more interest in the system it
aims to establish, but at Augusta and
Concord the chill of indifference or oppo-
sition permeated the atmosphere. The
master of the Maine state grange and
the best known agricultural editor in
that state voiced actual opposition. At
the Augusta hearing other speakers went
no fur Their than to say that the farming
interests were willing to be convinced OF
the use fulness of the plan-they felt no
need it.
Much the same spirit prevailed at the
Concord hearing a day later Bank
Commissioner Lyford said that the New
Hampshire farmers can get all the loans
they want of the savings banks-last
year they borrowed $4,000, COCOON bet
ter terms than the new scheme provides
for. New England farmers appear to
think that the new plan is too cumber-
some to be practical. 1t will require
campaign of education to show to the
average farmer who needs loan the adj
vantages of an investment with nine
others in loan association where he
would have to open his private affairs to
the public view before getting loan to
the amount of half the value of his land.
Probably there are Maine and New
Hampshire farmers who are paying more
than six per cent. on farm loans, but
they are relatively few. And few who
could borrow money under the new fed
eral plan have the slightest trouble in
getting the money now on as easy terms
and with far less red tape than the new
plan involves.
They have already been picking flaws
in the plan in financial circles, and if the
farmers also refuse to show interest in it,
this latest government experiment, with
the Presidents son-in-law at its head,
will run a short and inglorieus course.
The West may be laundering for the plan
to get in working order, but all the
board appears to have accomplished in
its visit to northern New England was
to so stir the conscience of Kittery man
that he sent Secretary McAdoo five dol
lars for the conscience fund of the nation
al treasury.

Chanued His Mind

When Charles B. Towns. author of
"Habits That Handicap" first began
his practi e in curing drug victims he
had great difficulty in securing patients
in order to prove the efficacy of his
cure. His claim to have discovered a
cure for drugs was reverberating
through the New York underworld;
but, though speculation was lively,
volunteers were timid Finally. not
knowing what else to do, Towns ac-
tually kidnapped race track tout and
put him through the treatment against
his will. when | get out of here and

won't be worth 20 cents. They'll croak
you in minute But five days later
the tout told his friends quite another
story. He sent, not gun men to kill,
but confidence men to be healed. four
of them. Towns had squared himself
with the underworld as much by his
courage as by his skill.

Life In New York.

In commenting on the "spenders' Of
the Great White Way a writer In the
American Magazine asks If the improv-
ident habits Of the average metropoli-
tan are due to d shorter life
1.-THE grocer on the corner told my
wife that he didn't try to Save any
thing because we all die before we
are sixty. anyway. = ss'+ Whats the
useY he said. You never see many
old people around. won't live to be
old, and neither will you.
THAT last statement stuck in my
mind. 1t Is fact that In the streets
of New York you see few people past
sixty. The actual dangers connected
with street traffic must keep the old
indoors to certain extent, or else 1t
drives them away to the little towns.
Anyway, l am sure you see a smaller
proportion of old people in great cities
than you see in small towns.
Does this fact influence good
many, like the grocer, to spend all and
to save nothing because of an un-
consciously formed opinion that al
most everybody works along and dies
in the harness before sixty? Is this
one reason why city people are more
improvident and extravagant than
country people?'

Trains Collide

approach to high trestle spanning
the Umpqua river at Winchester,
four miles north of Roseburg. A

before flagman had been sent back.

injuries which necessitated amputa-

Of the trains buckled and plunged
beneath the trestle, where it caught
fire and was consumed. The fire
was communicated to the trestle,
which burned late into the night be-
fore the fire was conquered. All
travel was held up and the south
bound trains did not get into Ash
land until late Sunday evening.
The collision was said to have been
caused by the misreading of orders
by the crew of the northbound
freight This train failed to stop at
a siding as ordered.

The Judue,s Hint.

A young Irish barrlster began his
speech to the court in these terms:
1.-THE eagle soaring high above the
mists Of the earth, winning Its daring
fight against a midday sun, until the
contemplation becomes too dazzling for
humanity, and mortal eyes gaze after
1t in vain! Here the orator was no
ticed to falter and lose the thread of
his speech. He sat down after some
vain attempts to regain it. The Judge
then said, "The next time, sir, you
bring an eagle into court | should rec
ommend you to clip its wings" No
doubt the hint was taken.-W Westmin-

To Erect a Tent In Winter.

Instead Of using rope bridge, tents
should be set in winter with pole be-
tween two trees or supported on forked
sticks, and the tapes along the ridge
should be tied to this pole. says All
Outdoors. If the tent has no tapes run
the pole through the tent from end to
end, and support it at each extremity
with forked pole. Better still are
two forked poles at each end. the bot.
toms Of which are spread far apart
When the tent says 1t can be tightened
by drawing the bottom close together
and thus raising the ridge. Poles
spread apart In this way also add
much to the stability Of the tent In a
wind. While this method requires five
poles instead of three. it is neverthe-
less the best way to erect an A tent.
1t will be difficult to drive stakes in
winter. but logs. to which the ropes
may be tied, will serve nearly as well.
