blossoms marked the culmina-
tion, when Fl. j. Franklin of
lOceanside and Mrs. Mary Woos-
ter Johnson were married on
Monday afternoon, Dec. Al, at
Missouri Valley, Iowa,
So quietly did Mr.. Franklin
make his arrangements that when
he left for the east no one had a
breath of suspicion regarding his
|plans. Therefore when he re-
turned with his bride, the surprise
was decidedly complete.
The groom is trustee of the
[city of Oceanside, and has a host
of friends here. Mr.. and Mrs.
Franklin were given genuine
/ d-fashioned charivari Monday
evening, and when the din broke
loose, Mr.. Franklin threw on the
[muffler as promptly as possible
by inviting everyone inside,
where he made a short speech in
very happy vein, and passed
around cigars.
Mrs. Franklin is most charm
ing lady, who will be welcome

Piles. She was the widow of
George p. Johnson, deceased, of
Missouri Valley, Iowa, and the
daughter of the Hon. Henry s

George z. Joy.

George Ellingwood Joy, inter-
national lecturer on social ethics
and child culture, has been Sc
cured for a campaign i'm school
and community, beginning .Janu-
airy ~, with a lecture in the
Presbyterian church.
Mr.. Joy comes not as am evan
Igelist, but an advocate of right
living, right environment in the
home, everything that contributes
to the we'll rounded life, i'm a
word, Efficiency
Every day Mr.. Joy will meet
the boys in the high school TO
discuss problems of mutual in
terest. The subjects of the eve
lining lectures:
Sunday evening, January A.:

Monday evening. January 15:
"The Human Plant i'm the Home. .
Tuesday evening, January 16:
1.-THE Golden Age of Childhood. .
Wednesday evening. January
az: "The Boy Problem AS We
Face IT,"
Thursday evening, January 1S:
THE Kingship of Control"
Friday evening, January 40:
Training by the Art of Sugges-
tion.''
Mr.. Joy speaks of his evening
lectures as auxiliary to the school
work. This is because 1.-THE boy
is his great work. to which he has
dedicated his life, and the eve
ming addresses on home subjects
are intended to help the boy by
bringing parents, teachers and
children into better under
standing and mutual hclpfulness
to each other, but each lecture is
a literary gem and equal to any
thing presented on the best lee
ture or chautauqua course.
These lectures are for the gen
eral public. We hope many will
plan to make Joy week the va
cation from all other interests.
Hear the first lecture Sunday eve
ming on "Citizenship,' and we be-
lieve you will plan TO hear every
lecture during the week. No adj
mission charge will be made.
