Bio Results From
Potato Matinee For
Charity at Casino

One would have thought potatoes
were the cheapest things on the mar
ket to look in the Casino Theater Mon

a smile" was the advertised price OF
| admission. The theater was filled
three times Monday. and when the
throng had finished coming in, there
were four big barrels full of big pota
toes, besides $l5.65 in cash.
Mrs. Luther Ray, active head of the
Associated Charities, estimated that
she had about ten bushels of the valu-
able "spuds' donated. At the present
retail price of $3.75 bushel, this rep
resents something of real value. The
SIS in money will also be used to buy
supplies for the charity association,
and more potatoes. if they are needed
\ few skeptics came in the door at
the theater Monday afternoon. and
wanted to know if the potatoes We're
going to he left at the theater. One
man brought in two enormous tubers,
and deposited them. Later he sat be-
side a man who told him the potatoes
were to be taken Immediately to the
charity headquarters. On his way out
this first man deposited dollar in cash
in the ticket takers hands.
One bushel of the precious veseta-
Dies was sent by the local lodge of
ElkS. and a half bushel came from the
street car employees of the Iowa Rail-
way and Light Company. Most people
picked out the biggest potatoes they
could find, with the result that the
three barrels that stood in the foyer
were filled with gigantic "spuds' big
enough for a meal for small family.
But altho the potatoes were the main
fea ture of the entertainment, the smiles
We're not forgotten. 4 smile was re-
quired in addition to all potatoes be-
fore any one was let in AS a result

MARRIED IN AUTO.
Couple Finds Minister at Depot anc
Hurry-Up Ceremony Is Performed,

Perry. March 6.-Miss Leota Cor
nelius and Mr. Roy March, both of
whom live in the vicinity of Dallas
Center, were the central figures in an
unusual wedding ceremony, performed
in Perry.
The young people came to Perry
intending to have just an ordinary
quiet wedding but as things turned
out they found themselves doing
something that will stand as the most
unique one performed in this city in a
long time. Mr. March and Miss Cor
nelius drove to Perry in an auto and
went directly to the home of Rev. T. A..
Searcy, pastor Of the Baptist church.
Rev. Searcy had just left home and was
at the interurban station ready to take
a car to Woodward, where he was to
preach. A phone call to him at the
depot brought tho information that
he could not cancel the Woodward en-
gagement but would perform the cere-
mony if the couple would come to the
depot He made arrangements to hold
the car a few minutes and the Dallas
Center people made a fast run in their
machine to the station. They did not
have time for any prelimnaries, not
even to get out of the machine, but the
minister was on the job and while they
stood up in the car he pronounced the
words that made them man and wife,
wished them a life time of happiness
and boarded his train. The whole cere-
muuy occupied only few minutes
time.
