: The marriage Wednesday evening
of Miss Christine Wilson, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Wilson, end Mr..
McKendree Hamburger, of the United

at the home of the brides parents on
West Gregory street.
The living room was the place of
ceremony and before an embanlment
of southern greenery and white car
nations the marriage ceremony was
performed by the Rev. j. F. w. Rein
hardt, pastor of the Evangelical Luth-
eran Church. The entrance was made
to the strains of a wedding chorus
played by Miss Ethel Yates, pianist,
and Mr.. Ernest Pourtless, violinist,
who rendered selections softly during
the ceremony also.
The bride who is young woman Of
decided beauty, wore wedding gown

meuse with touch of gold and car
ried an armful of white chrysanthe-
NUNS tied with yellow tulle.

informal reception during which sew
eral of the small girl friends of the
bride served, wearing white frocks
and yellow ribbons. These were Matte

The table in the dining room was
all in yellow and white with gold col
ored streamers suspended from the
chandeliers to the central decorations
and the cakes and minis carrying out
the chosen color scheme.
In one room the wedding gifts were
displayed and they reflected to some
degree the popularity of the bride

by automobile, making Bretwon their
first stop. Mrs. Wilson wore stylish
and most becoming street suit of
brown broadcloth with landings of

At ten-thirty o'clock on the night
of November II, the Senior class of
the college held the dedication cere-
monies of the class tree.
AS the moon swung high in the
heavens, far off mysterious music
was heard and board of dancing
nymphs suddenly appeared from out
the pine tree shadows. In a beauti-
full symbolic dance they paid honor to
the new young tree-then as sudden
ly as they had come did they lose
themselves again in the dim shadows.
AS the music died away a lively
song broke out and the Sophomores
long procession of white clad girls,
came winding in and out among the
pines until they had formed a circle
about the trees. Within the circle Of
their sister class the Seniors marched
bearing a garland which they wound
about the tree as Miss Ruth Cook,
president of the Class of 1T, made
the dedication address:
ITO the ideals of the class of 1917,
we dedicate this tree, as an appro-
pirate expression of our permanent
loyalty to Alma Mater and to each
other. 1t symbolizes growth; for as
its roots permeate the soil Of Mother
Earth and cling to it as a solid foun-
dation, so do we expect to grow on
the foundation we have builded here.
ut synibolizes expansion; it viii
spread its branches and absorb the
sunlight and showers as we expect to
extend our influence in service and
take in the finer and better things in
Gods world. May it become an orna-
ment to this campus; may it continue
to grow so that the girls in future
years will sit beneath it and find
protection in its shade and pleasure
in its fragrant blossoms. May the
trunk, which is the central source of
all its branches, leaves, and parts,
represent the unity of the class. We
carve upon it date which shall grow
deeper year by year and stand for the
spirit of 1911.
Miss Lula Taylor toasted sour
Tree" Here's to the tree of know
ledge for indeed none other would
come from the hands and minds of
the Seniors of 1917. Here's to the
tree of goodwill, for we hope all flu
ture generations of college girls shall
lest beneath its shade and catch
the spirit of wisdom that makes music
through its luxuriant leaves. Here's
to the emblem that shall perpetuate
the identity and memory of our
class through its stately branches and
perennial verdure.

cred by this class for no matted how

Hughes and Harding carried Mar
shall county, and that their entire state
and county tickets were elected, was
indicated by returns from two thirds of
the precincts, received up to early this
afternoon. Hughes has carried the
county by about 1000, from the best
estimates obtainable. Harding has a
plurality of about 1900 over Meredith

Of the city vote. Scott has been re-
elected county attorney over johnson
by majority of about 500.
All the rest of the republican candi-
dates for county offices were elected by
large majorities. In the cases of Jones

and Lynch.
Basing the estimate for the entire
county on returns from twenty pre-
cincts, which include practically all in
the country, but only one city ward
Hughes will lead in republican major

John 3. Ratio Delights Large Audi
ence in Course Number.

An audience that filled the Metho-
dist church Tuesday night alternately
laughed and sighed, held it's breath at
dramatic scenes and thoroughly enjoyed
the lighter ones, when John b. Ratio,
impersonator. gave program of char
acter delineations which was excellent
Mr.. Ratio was the second number of
the community entertainment course
which so far has proved more than
successful. both in a financial way and
in the high class of the entertain
ments offered.
There seemed to be no limit to the
extremes to which Mr.. Ratio could go
and still nave his audience right with
him. He jumped from an Episcopal
clergyman to released convict, from
an Irish judge to "dago," penciling
and making up right before the audi
ence, which added novelty to the per-
Torrance. Perhaps his portrayal of
the clergyman who came to see his son
play football and got SO wildly ex-
cited that he twisted his clerical hat all
to pieces was the most enjoyable of the
humorous selections. For dramatic
heaviness, the irnpersonation of the re-
leased convict held the listeners
breathless, and was successful from all
standpoints. The Italian impersona-
ton, and that Of the Irish judge whose
ignorance Of the law was his main eX-
cuse, were also very well received.
