MISS JULIA CLARKE A BRIDE

The marriage Of Miss Julia Eliz-
abeth Clarke, Of Mt. Sterling and
Lexington, to Mr.. Robert Wood
Blythe, Of st. Louis, Mo-, was sol
emnized in Huntington, w. Va, Sat-
urday afternoon, October 22nd,
the Rev. w. C. Condit officiating.
The wedding is of much interest to
many old friends of the bride here.
She is the daughter of Mrs. William
Clarke, of this city, and was born
and raised here. Several years ago
she went to Lexington where she
has since made her home. She is a
very charming young lady of a
bright and winning disposition that
has endeared her to all who know
her. Mr.. Blythe travels for the
American Thread Company and is
well known in this section. The
happy couple will make their home
in Lexington, which is the groom's
headquarters.

THIRD SERIES OF OFFICERS
CAMPS OPENS IN JANUARY

4 third series of officers training
camps will be opened by the War
Department early in January. Cam
didates for commissioners, Adiu-
tant General Mccain said, will be
selected from enlisted men of the
regular army or those called to the
colors under the selective draft
law, no applications from civilians
being considered.
None of the training camp sites
now being utilized will be used for
the next series, it was said, although
no intimation Of the location of the
camps has been given. 1t is prob
able that following the system used
in selecting National Army canton
ments, the majority Of the camps
will be situated in the South in or
der to escape the rlgorS of a North
ern winter.
The camps will afford men of the
National Army an opportunity TO
win commissions and it is probable
that the drafted men will be heavily
represented. Secretary Baker re
Gently announced that every chance
would be offered National Army
men to rise from the ranks.

To the Voters of Montgomery County:


l am a candidate for Assessor of
Montgomery county, subject to the
voters at the coming November cleo
ton. | have been nominated as the
Republican standard-bearer in this
race. Having been a farmer all my
life, and land owner for many years
feel that am competent to bring to
the office the capabilities that il
should require. The assessment of
values on lands and property under
the new Tax Law of the State is now
one of the most vital interest to all
land owners. l promise, if elected
to be fair and impartial in the dis
charge of the duties of the Office, and
to assess the properties of this coun-
ty with equal justice to all, and for
the best interests of the county and
State. | know from experience the
value of lands in every section of the
county, and will discharge the duties
of the Office with the end in view of
fixing a fair valuation upon all prop
critics. The office of Assessor should
not be one of politics, but should be
one of competency. / will make the
race strictly upon my merits as n
competency and ability to do the
work, and will not spend one dollar
for corruption fund or for the use
of whisky in the race, preferring to
be defeated rather than to have an
office that | would have to debauch
anyone to secure. If you will feel
that | will make a good official, one
who will do the work, l solicit and
will appreciate your vote and in
fluence. MATT FORD

traffic with the politicians or the
creation of anything looking like an
organization. Such does not seem to
appeal to him, though more than one
friend has urged activity along these
lines. The governor from all appear
ances only has counsel with himself.
He never was politician and he is
evidently not going to try and be one
at this late date.
Recent loyalty meetings in Henne-
pin and Anoka counties have demon
strated that Congressman Lundeen of
the Hennepin district does not stand
very high in the estimation of those
who insist on backing the government
in it's trouble with Germany. AT
recent gatherings held in the two
counties he was roundly scored for his
anti-war views. This of course can
only mean opposition at the next
primaries, but Lundeen will likely get
by, as from all accounts the ballot
will be literally swamped with rival

heart the road lesson to be learned in
war stricken Europe. Had a systema-
tic observation of the effect of war
traffic on highways been made from
the time that hostilities started, road
builders in this country would have
been. in a far better position to plan
for a condition which appears newt

'In reply to your letter requesting
thatI set forth an opinion of the value
Highways to the United States for this

necessity of good roads comnaInicat-
ing with the Eastern seaboard in the
event of war or invasion with any
tirst-class foreign power. l sincerely
believe that, in the event of war with
Germany and the defeat of the Eng
lish fleet. this country would find itself
in deplorable state because it would
be lacking in one of the most essential
needs for the conduct of military oper-
ations, namely, great arterial roads
over which heavy artillery and NUM-
tions of war might be speedily trans
ported.
II feel that the construction of good
roads is one of the most necessary fac

for months, with an average error of
one fifteen thousands of a second a

Food Struggled in
Musical Instruments

Vevey, Switzerland, April 10.-One of
the frontier guard posts was thrown
into an uproar few days ago when
what has since been referred to as the
greatest smuggling scheme" practical
ly betrayed itself to the officials. The
members of the Mannheim orchestra,
returning to Germany after tour of
German switzerland with Herr Richard
Strauss, were the perpetrators.
Customs guards examining the bag
gage of the tourists noticed peculiar
smells emanating from the various mu-
steal instruments carried by the party.
Trombones eXhaled the odor of sau-
sage; tubas smelled like smoked meats
and 'cellos seemed to have changed
their resinous odor for that of rare
cheese.
No careful examination was needed
to develop the fact that the musicians
had stuffed their instruments with del
icacies of every description. The food
was conflscated and the tourists repri-
manded.
