SHN RELIANT and beautiful in every AlTN detail and of wide social impor-
 tance in Birmingham and through out the south, was the wedding of Miss Fannie Howry Dunn, only daughter of Mr and Mrs. Evans Johnson Dunn and MT Martin Mortimer Baldwin, which was solemnized last evening at the hand some home of the brides parents on South Nineteenth street.
 Long before the hour set for the cere- mony the spacious rooms were filled with a representative assemblage of guests. The beauty of the rooms was greatly enhanced by artistic groupings of tall palms, germs and exquisite blossoms.
 The entire house was literally a bower of flowers, ferns, palms and vases be- ing combined with roses and gladiolas and other blossoms in the most effective and artistic manner.
 In the drawing room the walls were festooned with smilax and pink roses, and hanging here and there were small gold baskets filled with roses. The floral altar was built of handsome ferns and tall, glossy-leafed palms and lighted with many candles while on each side were tall standards holding baskets of roses Concealed lights shed a soft radiance over the rooms.
 In the hallway extending through the center of the house, spring blossoms and roses combined most effectively with smilax on the stair railing and balus- trades and filled baskets were here and there against the wainscoting
 The pink gladiolas and tall palms adorned the music room and library, while in the dining room valley lilies and orchids were used in quantities.
 Preceding the ceremony the Chalifoux quartet rendered a very beautiful mu- scal programme, after which the bridal party to the sweet strain of Lohengrin' s wedding march came down the stairway through the aisle formed for them by Nr. W. R. G. Dunn and MT. Evans Dunn, brothers of the bride, and advanced to

First Woman Jitney Driver in
Topeka To Retire.
Metropolitan Life Too Much for
Her, She Says.
WHISKY and GAS WON'T MIX
This Is One Discovery She Has
Made in City.
She Has a Baby Who Needs a
Mothers Care.
WHISKY and GAS WON'T MI

Mrs. Maude White, Topeka's pio-
neer woman jitney driver, plans to
return to the cows and chickens of
her old home in western Kansas. The
smell of new mown hay, the bright
CLINT of the boar frost under the rays
of a mornings sun henceforth Will
be her chosen lot to take the place
of the smell of gasoline from a Ut
ney's tank and the bright Hghts OF
the white way of Kansas avenue.
Come bossy, come bossy," she'll
call with the chickens in the morn
ing at the barnyard gate.
"Jftney, anywhere in the city, Will
be discarded from ner vocabulary IN
Il came here fro ma farm said
Mrs. White. ct guess that's where
belong. That's where I'm going, any
way. The ways of metropolis are
hard to adopt and I have done every
thing but prosper since l arrived IN
Topeka"
She Has a Baby.
Her eyes softened when she men
toned her baby girl, whom she kid
mapped last winter and sped across
country with, disdaining a court order
which had placed the child in other
hands. However, Mrs. White was
obliged 90 return the child and it was
placed in the custody of a relative in
another town.
YES" she added, there's the baby
who should have a mothers care"
Mrs. White has discovered in re-
cent weeks that booze and gasoline
don't mix a bit better than booze
and chop suey or chill. Twice, re-
Gently, she has been arrested for hay
ing liquor in her possession. Once,
the liquor was found in a house she
occupied.
The other time officers found the
liquor in her car after she had drag
ged one of them a block in a frantic
endeavor to escape. An injunction
was issued against the car and for a
week a new Briscoe was out of use.

Slump in Kansas Pork Production in
Last Year.

Kansas took a slump in pork pro-
duction during the last year, accord
ing to a report by j. c. Mohler,
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture. Mohler shows a decrease of

the shortage is due to high prices of
feed and failure of the state to pro-
duce an average amount of corn last
year.

USE REVENUE STAMPS
Certain Documents Must Have War
Stickers December 4. 1-a

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov 22.-Study
of the war revenue act providing for
stamps on certain documents which
becomes effective December 1, is
urged by E. NJ. Harder, United States
internal revenue collector. There is
a heavy penalty for violation of the
law.
All bonds, debentures or certificates
of Indebtedness must bear a scent
stamp on each 800 or fraction there
of. Each renewal is taxed as a new
issue.
All bonds of indemnity and all
bonds for the execution of contracts
obligation or requirement and, in fact,
bonds of any description. must bear a
50-cent stamp, regardless of amount
The only exception is bonds required
in legal proceedings. However, where
premium is charged for the execution
of bonds, the tax will be at the rate of
one cent on each dollar or fraction
of the premium charged.
On each certificate showing issue of
capital stock, whether upon organi-
cation or reorganization, the tax will
be 5 per cent of the face value Where
stock is issued without face value, the
stock will be five cents per share. un-
less the actual value should be in.
excess of 500 a share, in which event
the tax would be five cents on each
800 of the actual value. The stamps
are to be attached to the stock
bonds and not to the certificates
On sales or agreements of sales and
transfers of legal title to certificates
of stock, the tax is to be two cents on
each 500 or fraction. Upon scratch
sales at any exchange or board of
trade, for future delivery, the tax is
to be two cents on each 500 or frac-
ton of value covered.
Two cents on the 500 also will be
the tax on drafts or checks payable
otherwise than at sight or on demand
and promiSSory notes. Upon every
deed conveying lands, the tax is fifty
cents on every $500 involved. Stamps
are not required upon deeds of trust
or instruments given to secure a
debt, but are required upon the note.

SALOONS?.
Camp Funston Officers Would
Make Kansas City Dry.
This Suggestion for Good OF
Men at Football Game.

Camp Funston, Kan. Nov. az
Army officers here favor the closing
of saloons in Kansas City Saturday
and Thanksgiving day, for on those
days the city will be filled with sol
diers on leave from camp. Several
thousand will be in Kansas City both
days. More than two thousand have
already signified their intention of
making the trip Saturday and Sun
day to- witness the Camp Funston
Great Lakes Naval Training Station
football game, and other games Sun
day afternoon. AT least three thou
sand will spend the Thanksgiving holi-
day in Kansas City. Special trains
are being arranged by the Union
Pacific railroad to handle the crowds
on both holidays.
Anyone either giving or selling
liquor to a soldier in uniform is liable
to either Imprisonment or fine, or
both, but somehow this doesn't seem
to deter vendors of liquors or other
persons from giving the soldiers all
they want. The men manage to get it
in Kansas City on Sunday when the
saloons are all supposed to be closed.
officers point out, they certainly
would be more than well supplied with
all the saloons running full blast. ,
Members of the military police de-
partment usually ride the Kansas City
trains Saturday and Sunday nights to
keep the soldiers quiet and confiscate
any liquor they might have brought
with them for the benefit of their
friends in camp, and time after time
every soldier on the train has been
searched.
I'VE don't anticipate any trouble"
one officer who has a responsible
position here said tonight, for our
men as a whole are, a very well be-
haved lot. Once in a while, of course,
a few of them might become intoxi
Gated, but you can hardly expect ev-
cry one of 10000 men to be angels
all the time. 1t would be much bet
ter if the saloons were all closed, for
that would reduce materially the
and we want the men of the Eighty
ninth division always to behave them
selves and to be1ooked upon as model
soldiers. And when you give a man
few drinks of squirrel whisky he
isn't model of anything, and some
times he becomes a raving maniac"
The officers would like very much
to see Kansas City dry on days when
it is filled with soldiers, and partic-
ularly on Saturday, for if the Eighty
ninth division team sends the navv
back to Lake Michigan defeated the
soldiers will be bound to celebrate.

DO NOT STOP YOUR BUILDING.
Patriotic Duty to Keep on With Bush
ness Operations Here.

Manhattan, Kan, Nov. 22.-Build-
ing operations should not be suspend
ed on account of the war, in the opin-
ion of c. F. Baker, professor of archi-
lecture in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
1.-The question has frequently arisen
as to whether the. present is a good
time to undertake the erection of new
buildings, said Professor Baker. 1.-The
opinions of uniformed alarmists
have tended to create the impression
that the government has comman-
deered all the available building ma
terial and labor.A 1t is true that the
government in its preparation for put
ting great army in the field has
created abnormal conditions, but to
imply that its operations have pre-
vented the continuance of private
building is neither true nor patriotic,
and is a menace to the economic well
fare of the country.
/ The shortage of labor has affected
chiefly those communities, such as
Manhattan, which are adjacent to
the large army cantonments, while
in some sections of the country, ow-
ing to the unwarranted fears of pri-
vate building operators, there is
surplus of building trades .workmen
THE most abnormal conditions
have been created in the lumber
portation, but the steel market has
already taken its turn back toward
normal conditions. The production of
lumber. however, is being rapidly in
creased and the governments de@
mands will probably somewhat les
sen. Already the transportation prob
lens have been much improved by the
various commissions considering the
industrial and economic situation.
1.-The architect in advising his
clients not only is justified by the con-
ditions but should consider it his
| 0frin dr1fxy f0 In
coed with their contemplated building
(, operations. It then becomes equally
the duty of the architect to make a
careful study of conditions. and pos
| sibly to use his ingenuity and tech
meal knowledge in employing those
materials and classes of labor which
are least in demand for the conduct
of the war. He must acquaint him
self with transportation problems and
/ see that orders for his materials are
promptly placed SO that he can assure
his clients of approximately normal
progress in the work.
