MIR. LOUIS ANNIS AND
MISS MARGARET ROTH WE'D
Well Known Young People are United
in Marriage at Pretty Home
Wedding

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. c. Roth
on Fifth and Yakima streets, of this
city, was the scene of a very prettily
appointed home wedding Monday
morning, August 27th, when their
daughter, Margaret Desire, became
the bride of Louis Leroy Annis.
Promptly at eight o'clock the bridal
couple unattended took their place be-
meath the arch of lavender and white
asters with background of evergreen
in the living room, where with the
ever beautiful ring service of the
Methodist Episcopal church, Rev. c.
E. Miller pronounced the words that
made them one. The bride was dain-
thy gowned in white Georgette crepe,
but later donned pretty gray trav-
cling suit for the motor trip to Walla
Walla, Spokane and ST. Maries, where
they will spend their honeymoon.
Immediately after the ceremony a
delightful wedding breakfast was
served the bridal party and guests,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. M. Annis, Mrs. Fam
ME Johnson, Guy Johnson, Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur B. Annis, Misses Loraina
and Ruth Annis, Howard Annis, Mr..
and Mrs. j. C. Roth, Leslie, Albert and
John Roth. The color scheme of laven-
der and purple was very artistically
used thruout the house in the decora-
lions.
The bridegroom is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. G.. M. Annis, ore Of Kenne-
wick's pioneer families. He is a
graduate of the Konrewick high
school and has taken vocal instruc-
ton at Whitman conservatory. Miss
Roth has made her home here with
her parents for about year. She is
an accomplished musician and has
taken prominent part in church and
social affairs. The young people will
make their home after October 1 in
the Schlund bungalow at Second and
Seventh streets.

A Young Financier

A pretty young schoolmarm who
teaches first-grade class in a school
of the northwest section Of the city is
telling a funny story on herself that
happened just before the close of
the term. She had some visitors on
the Afternoon in question, and thought
she would show them what a good
class she had. Calling on bright lit
tie fellow at the rear of the room, she
said to him: Johnny, if gave you
two cents and your father gave you
three cents, how much would you

boats and learning that the submarine
had run over to the westward, where
we knew chain net traps to be laid, we
circled in that direction.
Our powerful motors thrummed
evenly. The water seemed to part
ahead Of us, and the gunners squinted
along the surface.
Suddenly off to the west we made
out her periscOpe. Intense joy thrilled
our little crews. She was inshore from
us. She was between our circular
course and the chain nets-in the trap.
The periscope we had seen might be
a dummy, for submarine frequently
casts loose phoney periscope to draw
fire, but at any rate she must have
been between US and the nets II she
cut it loose
Presently, probably after look
around, the periscope suddenly disap-
peared, and we knew it was real one
with German q boat on the end Of it.
The Brass Hat, In his own boat, was,
Of course, in the lead. That was his
prerogative as well as his duty. Like

down on the prey.

board. Evidently something is wrong.
We see men crawl out over the stern
and fish around with boat hooks and
poles. Cold as 1t is one man goes over
board and remains under water so
long we could not believe he would
come up alive. 81
We can see the Brass Hat gesticu-
lating as we run In closer. We can't
hear what he is saying, but we have
pretty good idea. We've listened to
him before when distressed. One OF
his men signals that the boat has foul
ed the chain nets. We wouldn't dare
cheer, but we are inclined that way.
Everybody likes to put 1t over Brass
Hat, and now there are only five OF US
to share the glory at the finish. Each
Of us stands better chance Of being
the one to give the submarine its congo.
Circling round in an even smaller
radius, we search the water for perl

Brass Hat Still Stranded.
The Brass Hat is signaling now for
us to go over and help him of. No
body pays any attention to those Or
ders. He wants to run things and get
the q boat himself, but we won't give
him the chance. Later we will tell
him we didn't see his distress signals.
Now he tries to direct the procedure
from where he is, but we are like lot
of hounds released from restraint.
The one idea of our lives is to get that
q boat.
All of us have towing t0rpedoes out.
These are bombs on long cables, which
are towed astern and sink to certain
specified depth If the cable fouls any
thing at all as the boat goes ahead the
bomb pulls up to 1T, and when it bumps
it explodes.
We are in line. Suddenly there is
crash and roar just ahead Of us. l

Naval Authorities
 Renewing Quest of
 Mysterious Airship


 Portsmouth. N. H., April 19-Naval authorities renewed the search today for a mysterious aeroplane, whose night proving over many parts of New Hampshire has been reported recently by civilians, citizens and sol diers, in view of reports that another flight over this city was made last night.
 Telephone messages saying that an aviator had flown over York Beach, and Hampton, reached the navy yard shortly after calls were received from persons here who asserted that they distinctly observed the craft in the vicinity of the yard. The. naval pa tro1 was instructed to be especially watchful and alert, but the authori- ties announced that they were unable to verify the reports.
 No government aeroplane of any kind has been operated hereabouts, according to naval officers.

 Bridgeport is especially interested in this ruling as it will have an effect on thousands of persons in this city. Ern- ployes of the Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Co, Lake Torpedo Boat Co, and other munitions facto- ries are affected 4Y
 It is likely that the exemptions pro. vided for by the attorney general may be taken advantage of here, to allow some workers who might come under this ruling, to remain at their posts with permission of the department of justice.
 Major Henry Beebe, head of the military forces Mayor Wilson and po- lice officials are trying today to solve the problem of moving the many families who will have to change their residence, without inf1icting hardship on them.

 By the time the occupants number ing at least 25 persons had been reused from their slumbers, clouds of smoke filled the railways and the prompt action of neighbors no doubt saved the lives of many.
 An alarm was sounded which brought to the scene Assistant Boards ley and Chief Johnson. Directing the fighting of the flames they quickly confined the blaze to the rear of the structure and prevented the fire from making further progress in the .tenements.
 The structure up to yesterday was part of the Gilman estate The off, cials of the fire department under stood that yesterday morning the property was taken over by the Bridgeport Trust Co.,, but officials of the latter insUthtfon state they hold no mortgage on the real estate and have no interest in it.

The golf players of the United States will turn farmers and raise on their
 links huge crops of potatoes and other food products for the use of the United States and it's allies. Such is the movement set on foot by the Dun woodie Country club, near Yonkers, N. Y. It originated with Frederick Upham Adams author and golfer.
 The pictures show the Dunwoodie golfers beginning work
 The plan of operation is simple and is declared to be practical Dun
 woodie, in common with all golf courses, has several acres of tillable
 soil not used for golfing purposes The
 club has set this aside for cultivation.
 More than a hundred of the members
 have already volunteered to do the
 work of cultivation, and it is predict
 ed that this volunteer farming corps will soon number fully 250 golfers who will try to prove themselves as efficient with a hoe as with a niblick.
 Two hours a week for twenty weeks makes forty hours work for each member, which means that a volun- teer corps of 250 members would per form 10000 hours of farming labor. This now has a market value of not less than 30 cents an hour, an item
