Shoes" he says, "have much to do i
with the common, but dangerous con-

improper shoes and hard leather and

being crowned with the graceful lit
tie cap of net and orange blossoms,
with frill of lace, from which fell the
long, filmy veil. With her shower bou-
quet of white roses and fern, she was
never lovelier than ON her wedding
day. Fair of face and pleasing in man
ner, she counts her friends and ad-
mirers by the score. She is the young
err daughter of Mrs. Bette Tucker and
an accomplished musician, having
been intensely interested in the must
cal life of her community.
Mr.. Durrett, popular and iniuen-
tal farmer of the county, was hand
some in the conventional black. His
many sterling traits of character have
won for him host of friends who join
in congratulations to him upon his
good fortune.
Immediately after the ceremony and
after the bride had donned beautiful
travelling suit of tan, Mr.. and Mrs.
Durrett left for short bridal trip af-
ter which they will be at home with
the brides mother for a few months.
Their many costly presents of cut

the esteem in which the happy couple
are held and bespeak the good wishes
that follow them on their journey.

plaintiff. With the confession, the de-
fendant hurriedly got his hat, de-
camped from the home and has never
been seen or heard of by this plaintiff
since the said time"

Beautiful Wedding Of Two Prominent
Mason COuntians SOlemnized In
the Washington Presbyterian
Church.

On Thursday afternoon at l:3O
o'clock, a beautiful wedding occurred
in the Washington Presbyterian
Church when the marriage of Miss
Ethel Tucker and Mr.. Paul Durrett
was solemnized, the pastor, the Rev.
Mr.. Hooper, performing the impress
sive ceremony. A pretty bit of SEN
timent connected with the event was
that it took place on the anniversary
of the wedding of the brides only sis
ter, six years of age. The church was
tastefully decorated, bank of green
forming the background for large
vases filled with stately June lilies.
White satin ribbons and filmy tulle
were used in the aisles, while cathe-
dral candles shed their mellow light
over all At the appointed hour the
strains of Mendelssohn' Wedding
March, with Mrs. j. W. Downing at
the organ announced the entrance OF
the bridal party and the hush of en-
pectancy fell ON the awaiting audience.
First came the ushers, entering by
opposite aisles, Miss Rebecca Leonard
Claybrook and Mrs Charles Whiting
ton Williams, and Mr.. William Wood
and Mr.. Clarence Tucker, all single
file. Next came the matron of honor,
Mrs. Wood Wallingford, the brides
sister, followed by the dainty little
flower girl, little Miss Elizabeth Wal
lingford, niece of the bride. AS the
groom with his best man, Mr.. Alex
Casey, came down the right aisle, the
bride entered alone at the left and
passed to the altar where she met the
groom before the officiating minister,
there to plight their troth.
Mrs. Williams of Helena, wore blue
chiffon over white satin, which great
ly enhanced her brunette beauty.
Miss Claybrook was becomingly
gowned in yellow crepe de chine, a
picture Of youth and loneliness.
Both carried baskets decorated with
tulle and filled with white carnations.
The matron of honor wore her own
wedding dress of white silk marqui-
settle over satin, with landings of baby
Irish and picture hat of lace and tulle.
She carried Killarney roses.
The little flower girl was indeed
fairy-like in dainty little white frock
with lace and white ribbons and car
ried basket with large tulle bow,
from which she scattered roses in the
path of the bride.
The bride was a creature of radi-
ance and beauty in an exquisite coat
dress of white georgette crepe and
silk, deliberately embroidered and

PRESIDENT WILSON
 URGES HASTE ON
 FOOD LEGISLATION
Delay May Mean Competi- tion Between European Nations for Supplies h.
 creasing Prices in US.

Washington, June 6.-President Wilson today asked members of the Senate agri- cultural commission to act quickly on the pending legislation to give the gov- ernment control over the nations staple food supply. He expressed the fear that if Congress delayed, European nations, largely dependent on American supplies, might begin to compete with each other in buying here in such fashion as to send prices in the United States to alarming heights and bring about unrest in the great cities. The President urged also passage of the administration bill under which. railroads could be compelled to give preference to food and fuel ship ments.
 Both democratic and republican mem bers of the committee were called in to the President and his statements are said to have made a decided impression. It was emphasized that the farmer has nothing to fear from the price fixing fea- lures of the legislation and that the only person who might suffer is the speculator.
