Carrier.Cole.

There was pretty wedding at Christ
Episcopal Church, Norway, Monday,
June 18th, at 10 O'Clock A. NJ, when
Joseph Albert Carrier of Lewiston and
Lillian Amy Cole of Norway were united
in marriage by Rev. George s. Robinson
of Trinity Church, Lewiston, the Epis.
copal double ring service being used.
The church was most attractively deco.
rated with flowers, evergreen and ferns.
Mrs. Susan Cragin was at the organ
when the bridal party entered and
marched down the center aisle to the
altar. First came the ushers, Misses
Louise and Annie Thomas, followed by
the matron of honor, Mrs. Harry Y. Cole.
Then came the bride on the arm of her
brother, Harry V. Cole, and the groom
was accompanied by his father, j. j.
Carrier, who acted as best man. The
bride was given in marriage by her
brother.
The bride was gowned In white
georgette over white satin and wore Q
veil and bridal wreath, carrying shower
bouquet. She 10 the daughter of the
late William C. Cole and Mrs. Lillian D.
Cole and has always lived at her home.
At present her mother is In rather poor
health and for that reason no extended
bridal trip will be taken but instead
short trips that will enable Mrs. Carrier
to be always near her mother.
Mr.. Carrier is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John j. Carrier of Lewiston and Is a
shoemaker. He will be employed by
the Carroll, Jefferson Shoe Co. OF this
town and they will continue to live with
Mrs. Carriers mother.
A wedding breakfast was served at the
home on Winter Street after the cere-
mony.
Mrs. Carrier was the recipient of two
showers during the week. The first
took place at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
George w. Holmes on Lower Main Street
on Friday evening, and was arranged by
Miss Helen Holmes. There were about
twenty present, most of whom had been
associated with Miss Cole in the Congre-
gational Sunday School, of which she
was regular attendant when there were
no services at her own church. Many
useful and dainty gifts were presented.
The cake was the result of the combined
efforts of Mrs. q. l.. Horne and Mrs.
Percy Nevers, and much merriment was
caused when it was cut and the various
articles found their way as the fates de.
cided. The refreshments consisted Of
grapenut ice cream, saltines, fancy crack
ers and cookies.
The second shower was given Mrs
Carrier at her own home on Wednesday
evening, when number Of the members
of the Guild of the Episcopal Church
called on her and left variety OF useful
articles. Refreshments were served and
a social evening passed.

Buy Glass Jars Now.

ouy OI6S8 jars INOWs
The Maine Com mittee on Food Pro
duction and Conservation has issued the
following:
The Governor and Council have re.
Gently appropriated q sum of money sui.
ficient to make possible canning dem.
onstration in every town In Maine. The
work will be done under the direction OF
this committee and few meetings a.
ready held lead US to believe that the de-
naud is great for such campaign.
We have recently bad correspondence
with several manufacturers Of glass jars
and in one case the personal representa-.
tive of firm met with us, and we find
after investigation that the wholesalers
and jobbers of Maine are buying jars
very little In excess of their normal sup
ply, due no doubt to the consumers not
purchasing above normal.
We would respectfully call your atten-
tion to these facts and urge upon you
what We believe to be q real situation,
and 1t should be met at once. The man.
ufacturers say that they can deliver jars
the rush comes, 1t may not be possible,
anu luTtuoTmUEo, tuo pEiCo 10 ooteot w"
than 1t will be later. It is claimed that
the wholesalers in other states have pre-.
pared for q future demand, and that
Maine has not. We wish that you could
see the situation az we do, and order
jars now that you may be fortified against
demand which we believe is bound to
come. The increase of 35 percent in
garden crops and one hundred percent in
family gardens indicates that when the
people do wake up there will be great
demand for glass jars and we hope that
your firm will be ready when this de.
mand comes.
This committee will urge the consum-
or to start purchasing at once. At our
different meetings this will be mention
ed, and will no doubt stimulate buying
to great extent.
There is patriotic side to this can
ming question and we ask you to consider
this carefully and do what we believe to
be your duty by purchasing enough jars
so that anything that can be saved will
not oe wasted because the wholesaler
did not do his part,

Mormon Colonists in Mexico
Disarmed

Mexican officials and residents of
the Batepito valley in the section
surrounding Colonia More1os, Sc
miles southeast of Douglas, On the
Bavispe river, disarmed fifteen
American Mormon colonists late
last week, and at the same time
the Mexicans announced the con-
fiscation for the public good" of
several thousand acres of irrigated
and improved farming lands, to-
getller with houses and other build
ings belonging to absentee men,
bers of the colony, it was learned
from reliable source yesterday.
AS far as could be learned no at
tempt was made by any of the COL
onists to resist the aggressions of
the Mexicans, and the disarma-
ment of all of the colonists was
accomplished without trouble. A
fear was expressed however, that
the situation would be complicated
further by the carrying out of a
threat to dispossess even these of
their holdings and forcing them to
leave Mexico.
This would entail heavy loss on
the colonists, as most of them have
planted large crops upon which
they had expected to realize good
profit. The loss will be particular
ly heavy because they had been un-
able to till their lands for many
years owing to revolutionary dis
turbances. Douglas Dispatch.
