ROBERT SMITH, LOCAL
JEWELER, WEEDS MISS
Fac M'LEAN, FRYBURG

The Bachelor Club lost another
member IN Saturday evening, when
the genial Robert Smith was mar
ried to Miss Fac Mclean at the Con-
gregational parsonage. by the Rev.
JIG: Duling. The bride was attired
in a travelling suit of blue and grey
~taffeta.- Miss Dorothy Gobler and
Ben Taylor attended the couple.
The bride halls from Pulaski, N. Y,
and came to the Fryburg vicinity
about a year ago to engage in teach
ing, in the Four-Mile Butte school
house, northwest of Fryburg. She at
tended summer school in Dickinson
last summer and during that time
made a large number of friends, who
are glad that she will make this city
her home.
Mr.. Smith is manager of the Brown,
Brothers :jewelry store, and is an ex-
pert in his line. He came here about
two years ago from Bismarck to take
up the position which he now holds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith left on No. 1
Sunday morning on a long western
tour, touching at Butte, Denver and
Salt Lake City. Upon; returning
they will begin housekeeping in a

WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.

War may provide an excuse to the
Indifferent and the short-sighted to
recommend delay in public improve
ments, but work for improvement of
highways should not be allowed to
lag even in these troublous times.
For good roads are even more neces-
,sary in time of wal than in time of
peace. Appropriations may be cut
down during the time of crisis and
help may be more scarce, but this
should not cause abandonment of
highway work. Auto and road clubs
of the Slope have been doing a good
work in improving roads of this dis
trict and it is hoped that they will
continue their efforts. Bad roads i'm
pose a heavy tax on the movement
of foodstuffs to the railroad station,
and work ham in numerous other
ways. We should continue building
good roads, wal or no war.

Congress man Greene justifies his vote
against )a9amI prohibition by the vote
in Vermont against state prohibition
several years ago. There is great
difference between state and national
prohibition. The question in Vermont
was between the old prohibitory law,
which did not prohibit, and the present
local option law, which does prohibit
over large part Of the State. The
people preferred the present law on the
ground, whether mistakenly or not,
that it furnishes the greater degree Of
prohibition There are a great many
people who are in favor of national pro-
hibilion who do not believe in local pOr-
hibtion. They are against booze and
have come to see that the only way to
get rid of booze is to Danish it from the
entire country. On the question of
national prohibition Vermont has never
voted. Mr. Greene undoubtedly voted
according to his conscience, but whether
he voted according to the sentiment in
Vermont remains to be seen That will
be determined when Vermont votes on
the amendment when submitted

The Secret of Youth.

After all, the plain truth is that ad
venture consists less in the experiences
one actually has than in the indefatiga
BILE expectancy with which one awaits
them, writes Edgar J. Goodspeed in the
Atlantic. Indeed. I sometimes fear that
people must be divided into those who
have adventures and those who appre-
ciate them. And between the two the
affinity for adventure is greater treas
ure than the experiencing of it. If we
are possessed Of the affinity. adventure
itself is, at most. just round the cor
ner from us. This opens the life of
adventure to all who crave It. What
possibilities lie in merely crossing a
street, for example, Some one re-
marked the other day as he lodged
across among the motOrcars, why not
take chance now and then and lead
a real life for a few minutesT
I therefore recommend the life of adj
venture. It conceives each day as a
fresh enterprise, full of delightful pos
sibilities and promise. and so preserves
the wine of life from growing fiat.
Here is the secret Of youth.

connection with a travelling menagerie
he attached himself to while knocking
about the West during his salad days.
"One day just after breakfast" he
says. Il peeped in at the messroom
door There was a full-grown tiger
licking the jam and bacon off the
plates.

"You have icily replied, for was
good deal annoyed with the danger I
had so narrowly escaped. you'll find
him in the messroom licking the plates
"Thank you. mate, he said.
"An hour after l overheard the pro-
prietor asking his little son if he had
washed up the breakfast dishes.
"'Hadn't no need to, pop; the tiger
licked 'em like he knew they wanted
cleanin' -"
