The County Council of Defense
has proved to be one of the best or
CARNATIONS Pierce county has ever
had. The nature of it's organiza-
ton, when as efficiently managed as
this one is, insures thorough COOP
Grafton throughout the district in
whatever matter it takes up. A
good illustration of this thorough
ness was given last week, when the
Council of Defense volunteered to
assist in getting the drafted men to
the meeting at Ellsworth. It took
but short time to get in touch
with the agents, who are located in
every community in the county, and
inform them of the plans, and each
agent set about it at once to secure
transportation for every drafted
man in his district. The work Of the
Council was the means Of bringing
out big majority of the men, and
also in arousing much greater gen.
eral interest in the affair. Although
formed primarily for war purposes,
this organization should be retained
as permanent institution. It's pos
sibilities are unlimited for promot-
ing the general welfare of the coun-
tV.

is hardly probable that paid spies

Married
SnOdgrass-Smith


The clouds of war will sometimes
lift and for brief space let the sun
shine and romance light up the circles
that have been touched by the relent-
less hand that is reaching out and
taking the sons from many homes in
our country today.
Such was the case when on Thurs
day last, August 80, at high noon,
was solemnized the marriage of Miss
Nettie May Smith of this city to DR..
Thomas J. Snodgrass of GAINESVILLE.
These young people have grown up
from childhood in our midst and. their
many friends feel an especial interest
in all the details that attended this
happy elimination Of a friendship
that dates back to high school days.
The feature that made this service
especially impressive and that brought
the tears very near the surface to all
who witnessed it was the fact that it
was military wedding"-the first
in our city. "Tom," as we call him,
has volunteered and been accepted in
the service of his country-has re-
ceived his commission as First Lieu
tenant in the medical corps and in a
few days will respond to the call to
France with the base hospital, fitted
out in Minneapolis under the direction
of DR.. Law.
The wedding took place at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. F. Smith, and was attended by the
immediate family relatives and a few
immediate friends. The rooms were
hastily trimmed with green vines and
masses of goldenglow. The vows were
spoken by the young couple as they
stood before a panel of green and
gold that might we'll symbolic the
wish that we all felt for them as each
in turn repeated the words that
pledged them to each other "till
death us do part" That their lives
may always be full of the beauty of
living that is typifed by the green
and the richness of love" that is in
terpreted by the golden blossoms.
The musical numbers that preceded
and followed the ceremony, had a
special note Of interest, for Mrs.
Amy, sister of the groom, was at
her best in the rendering of Guy

was in the quartet of Westminster
Presbyterian church of Minneapolis,
with DR.. Snodgrass for several years.
AS the clock struck twelve the we'd
ding march was sounded by Mr.. Glenn
ent G. Campbell of Minneapolis, the
door opened and six little ribbon bear
ers came in and formed the passage
for the bridal party. Seldom is there
seen a prettier sight than these three
couples of little nieces and nephews-

by Shirley Crawford and Bernice
Smith, with the two little six-year-old
lads, Herbert Snodgrass and Milton

Speaking as president of the local
Civic association and as president of
the Woodstock furnace corporation
here Mr.. Darlington mas taken this
question up with capitalists all over
the country, and his plan has been in
dorsed by some OF the nations fore
most captains of industry.
In addition to this idea advanced at
the banquet, Mr.. Darlington addressed
a few personal remarks to the CORE

alarming parents back home, who feel
great concern for their boys at the
front
Mr.. Darlington also urged the cor
respondents to look for the best in
Admission and this section, stating that
they can be of great service to the
city in helping Admission attain to

Will Texas Governor Refuse
to Tell Who Loaned Him
S15O,OOO? Crucial Mo-
ment Coming

Austin, Tex, September 1s.-With the
cross-examinationf Of Governor James
e. Ferguson under way before the sem
ate high court of impeachment, one Of
the crucial moments of the trial is ex-
pected to come tomorrow, when coun-
sci for the proponents ask the govern

eleventh article of the bill of impeach-
ment, alleging that failure to divulge
this information constitutes official mis-
conduct, was passed over without men
ton on the direct examination today.
Will r. Harris of counsel for the house
board of managers said the governor
would be questioned regarding the mat
ter tomorrow.

night If he would maintain the attitude

the whole and refuse to tell who ex-
tended him the S156,500, said: THAT de-

WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
Before the house the state executive
declared he would rather lose his office
and go into bankruptcy than make pub
lie the names of the friends who aided
him.
Discussion throughout the capital to-
night hinged on what would happen if
the governor refused to answer the
question. Legislative leaders said the
following might result:
The high court could take a recess un-
til the governor should answer, during
which time he would be out of office.
Contempt proceedings might be under
taken.
The matter could be passed over, as
was done in the house, and the taking
of evidence continued.
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS
The governors testimony today re-
lated almost entirely to financial af-
fairs. He admitted that $500 charged
to his official account in the Temple
State bank August %, 1915, was applied
to the payment of his personal note, but
said this was an error, and he knew
nothing of the matter at the time On
being questioned he said also that an
overdraft on his own account with
money from the Kings highway com
mission and adjutant general funds, had
been used in settling up the shortage or
the official account, when he discovered
1t, and in the meantime he had owed the
money to the state from his personal
funds. 'it was perfectly safe, though"
he added.
The governor declared that in extend
ing his line of credit in the Temple State
bank to an amount in excess of It's en-
tire capital and surplus, he had done
no wrong.
That is done constantly he ex-
planned. When the security is good any
bank makes loans not countenanced by
the law. They'd lose out if they didn't
