 Ferns and roses on either side of the large window in the music room formed the wedding altar where the bride and groom stood as the mar riage service was said by Rev. B. V.

 The bride who is an exceptionally charming girl was beautiful in her wedding gown of heavy ivory satin The fashionably short round skirt was very full and embellished with a wide flounce of silver lace The decolette bodice was sleeveless, a fischu of sil- yer lace cutting the round neck and falling gracefully from the shoulders She wore short bridal veil of duchesse lace, arranged becomingly as a coronet and held in place by valley lilies.

BIG FLOCKS OF GEESE
 AND DUCKS PASS OVER

The air last night from about ' o'clock until midnight resounded with honks and quacks of hundreds of wild geese and ducks which passed over Conway in making their south ward flight for the winter. Street lights of the city apparently confused many of the birds, some of them fly ing around in circles and approach ing very close to the ground. The passage of the wild fowls is believ- ed by many to presage much colder weather in the near future.

METEOR FELL ON
w. D. PONDS FARM

A meteor or foreign substance of
some kind was picked up on the farm
of w. ID. Pond by his son-in-law, La
verne Taylor, one day last week.
Mr.. Talyor was passing through his
hay field and noticing burned spot
of several feet in circumference in
the grass, investigated and found the
meteor or whatever it is imbedded in
the earth evidently having fallen with
great speed, and so hot as to set fire
to the grass. A number of pieces had
been clipped off by the impact and
as an evidence that it was red-hot
when it struck ashes and cinders COW
cred the ground and sulphurous fumes
were noticeable. 1t is of darkish
color and heavy, undoubtedly contain
ing some copper. 1t resembles jag
ged stone and weighs several pounds
The meteor may have been travelling
around in space for many years or
possibly it became detached from an
other planet and getting near enough
to the earth was caught in it's gray
itation and landed. 1t was brought
to the Banner Office where it may be
seen.

An Easy Way to Reduce Flesh
Drink Hot Water and Take Tassco

Haven't you often wished for a
medicine to reduce your flesh? Some
thing that does not require dieting
or calisthenics Well, right here
you have it in 5-grain tassco tablets,
which you may secure at any drug
store. They are pleasant and per-
fectiy harmless and cause no re-
strictions of habit or eating, and re-
duce the flesh, little by little, until
you are down to the number of
pounds you wish to weigh. Too much
flesh is undesirable, as most quite
stout people will readily admit, and
it detracts from ones good appear
ance; makes one clumsy and short of
breath.
There isn't any reason why anyone
should be too stout when there's
this much-tried, perfectly satisfac-
tory remedy at any drug store. Tas-
SEQ tablets (don't forget the name)
are recommended by physicians and
are guaranteed to be perfectly
harmless. Refuse substitutes, if you
can not come to our store, we will
mail tassco to you.

Sunday School Camp

Thompson Lake, near Howell has
been chosen as the site of the new
summer camp for boys and girls of
the Michigan Sunday School associa-
ton.
The date of the girls camp is Aug.
to 8 and that of the younger boys
Aug. 8 to Is. The older boys will be
in camp from Aug. Is to 26. This ar
rangement gives the youngsters eight
full days in camp, including one Sun
day.
The location of the camp is almost
ideal from every standpoint and with
the equipment which will be installed
during the next two or three years
those who are promoting the enter
prise predict that it will become one
of the largest camps of its kind in the
country.
The people of Howell are enthusi-
astic over the camp and a movement
is on foot between the people of this
city and the Michigan Sunday school
association to make the site the per-
manent property of the state associa-
ton.
The boating and fishing which
Thompson's lake affords will be a new
feature at state camp which is sure
to make hit. Boat crew practice
under the direction of experienced
boatmen is being planned. The How
ell Fair association is cooperating by
giving the use of the fair ground pro-
perty with base ball diamond and run.
ming track to the campers.
That the supervision of the camps
will be of the best is evidenced by the
fact that DIR. +, s. Goodrich, of AL
bion, general secretary Of Michigan
Sunday school association, will be gen,
eral superintendent Of both boys and
girls camps. Frederick Goodrich, Jr.
who is known throughout the state as
"Big Brother" is to be physical dir
ector of boys camp. Floyd Starr
head Of the Starr Commonwealth, Al
bion, is the business manager.
The officers of the girls camp are;
director, Mrs. Harriet Starr, Albion
physical director, Miss Marvel Ed.

LONDON, May l7.-Sir Ro- ger Basement and Daniel Bail ey, a soldier, were today com mitted for trial for high treas on against the Crown. The de- cision was handed down by Sir John Dickinson. Only two days were taken in securing the evidence in this case. Most of the direct testimony will be given in the higher case.
 During the proceedings last night a touch of humor was added when Anna Goldman told her story of meeting Sir Roger and his compatriots, as they were leaving the beach on the coast of Ireland. She talked in a brogue SO broad that it was necessary for the court to ask her to write her words before they could be understood. This she did smilingly.

ALLIES DRIVE
 IS DUE WITHIN
 NEXT TWO WEEKS

LONDON May IT, Within the next two weeks tho allies will unroll great combined offensive against the central empires that will mark the turning point in the world war
 This is the belief now held in ev- cry capital Of Europe.
 The activity being displayed by the Germans in improving their defen. sive positions on both the eastern and western fronts. as well as in the Balkans, indicates that the Ger man general staff holds tho same opinion
 Where the allied armies will strike first is a matter of greatest specu. lation in London A popular guess is in the Balkans. where the allies only a few days ago established them selves in the Greek town of Flor nina. opposite Aionastir. as 1T in preparation for an advance.
 May Strike Near Line
 Another guess is that the blow will fall on the British front near Lene. the scene Of the British drive in the allied offensive of last Sep. tember. On this front the Germans. despite the verdun offensive. have held large forces of Bavarians
 The certainty in the situation is the fact that despite new peace ru. mors, apparently emanating from Berlin, there will be no peace made until after the allies have tested their strength ln a mighty smash against the German fronts. If this offensive fails to make big dent in the German lines the warfare will settle down to another deadlock. with peace possibility.
 It is believed generally that the Verdun battle Is over. The impress. sion prevails here that some of the heavier German pieces and many of the German veterans have been al- ready shifted to other sectors.
