Miss Esther Angel and Edward Gunson
Married.

A very quiet, but pretty home we'd
ding, occurred last Monday afternoon
at 2 o'clock at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
I. L. Angel on Spring street, when
their daughter, Esther, was united in
marriage to Edward Gunson of Fair Ha-
ven, civil engineer, and a graduate of
the University Of Vermont in 1916. Miss
Angel is a graduate of the same insti-
tuition in the class of 1918. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Charles
Waite, pastor of the Congregational
church, in the presence Of several friends
and the immediate relatives Of the fam
lilies. Mr. French, principal of the Hyde
Park academy, was best man. The ring
service was used. The bride was gowned
in white satin and wore bridal veil
and carried roses. Congratulations are
extended the young couple.

The local branch is receiving communi-
cations daily from county headquarters
asking why has not this branch collected
the money due in the Red Cross war
fund drive of a few months ago. As
stated last week the amount to be col

only Sl24 has been turned in. The bal
ance has got to be in the county head

settle and let it not be said that Hard

was responded to so literally, there being
$1,000 collected in cash at the time the

great deal may be accomplished in one
intensive week toward reaching the
Hardwick quota Of $4,000, which seems
large, but the real quota was set at
$l08 900, but through the untiring eff

claims that on account OF depopulation

be given this town, and it was reduced
to the figures mentisped above. II looks

Secretary Baker Recommends
Raising and Lowering Ages.
New Bill Presented.

Washington.-Draft ages of men
from 18 to As years will be recon-
mended to congress in the bill en-
bodying the war departments new
man-power program which will be
introduced in both houses of congress
this week and expedited by commit
tees with a view to prompt considera-
ton when regular sessions of the
senate and house are resumed late
this month.
After formally announcing the new
draft ages, Secretary Baker said all
the possible combinations of age limits
We're carefully studied and it was
found that in order to get the men
into class one for the program pro-
posed, 18 to As was necessary
He said, however, that the bill, as
read to congress, will contain a pro-
vision authorizing the president to call
men out of class one by classes ac-
cording to age, so that if it is found
possible the men between 1S and 10
will be called out later than the older
men found eligible to class one.
The war department program, the
war secretary said, is purely mill
tary one and cannot be called a con-
scription of labor, although it natur-
ally will have the effect Of putting
at useful labor or in the army all
able-bodied men with the age limits
as they finally will be fixed by con-
gress.

McADOO GOES THROUGH

enger on No. 2 Going East.

Although the plans were considered
for paying honor to William McAdoo
and wife and official party who went
through here Monday on No. 2 after
spending several days at Glacier Ma
tional Park, it was deemed not ad-
visable not to carry out any demon
stration because of the early hour.
The Chamber of Commerce, however,
sent beautiful bouquet of flowers
to Mr.. and Mrs. McAdoo from the
gardens of Mr.. and Mrs. C. M. Reese,
in the west end of town.
That the flowers were greatly ap-
preciated is evident from the follow
ing letter that arrived at the Cham
ber of Commerce rooms Tuesday:
Enroute, August 5, 1918.
Gentlemen:
Mrs. McAdoo and I deeply appre-
ciate your though u alness and cour-
tecy in sending the beautiful flowers

INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN
FOR Y. N. E. A. men
L. E. Jones and Committee Are
at Work Recruiting Men
For This Section.

"It is absolutely necessary that the
Y. NJ. C. A. send 1000 men to France
before September and it is equally
essential that we send 5000 additional
before fall" says Frank A. Jackson,
head of the Personal Work on the
Pacific Coast for the National War
Council Of the Y. NJ. C. A. The work
of securing these men is being rapid
ly organized and L. E. Jones, as chair
man of the Valley County Committee
is at work with the other committee
men, Oscar Hovind, C. H. Alderman,
Rev. F. E. Henry and J. w. Wedum
The men chosen for this work must
be over draft age, of previous Chris
tian character, physically perfect and
anxious to do everything in their
power to bring the war to victorious
conclusion.
There are now 1000 men over
seas engaged in Y. NJ. C. A. war
work at the present time" said Mr..
jackson. "We have 5000 men in the
camps in this country. AS our troops
move to France we must be prepared
to serve them. 1t is marvelously
comprehensive thing that we have
been asked to do over there. As Dr.
John r. Mott, after his fifth trip to
the battle front said, eve have been
sent over there not to represent the
ministry of the Y. M. C. A., as we
understand it in this country. That
is the smallest part of our task. 1t
would be a great thing to extend that
ministry, but we have been asked to
do more than that-we are to rep
resent all those American sons and
brothers, not only the Y. NJ. C. A. of
America, but we are to represent
them and to be to them for the time
being the American home, and this is
a tremendous responsibility. We are
to represent to them all that is best
in American club life, all that is best
of the American churches"
The task of the Y. M. C. A. sec
retary "over there" is no easy task.
1t is perlous, tedious, exacting and
the secretary will find the biggest job
in all the world. There isn't man too
big to tackle it. We are getting the
finest type of American manhood to
go over the seas for the Y. NJ. C. A.
From the west we must send 25O men
each month for an indefinite period,
and every community must furnish
it's quota.

THRESHERMEN OF VALLEY
COUNTY HOLD MEETING
AT THE GATHERING IN THE COURT ROOM DIF-
FERENT METHODS OF SOWING GRAIN WERE
-.. D1SCUSSED-OIL TRACTORS TO BE USED.

The threshermen of Valley County
met Saturday, August 3, with the
committee. This COM
mlttee is provided for by the Food
Administration and consists of the
following: Chairman Food Admins
tration L. E. Jones, Secretary County
Agent M. E. Stebbins, and the thresh-

Gil OF Defense Peter Nyquist.
The object of the meeting:
To explain to the threshermen the
necessity of keeping records and re-
porting the first of each month the
amount of wheat threshed to the
County Agent. The record books and
report blanks furnished by the United
States Department of Agriculture for
the use of the threshermen were also
explained.
Different methods of sowing grain
were discussed and all agreed to use
every possible method to save all the
grain possible and do good work. It
was also urged that gasoline and
kerosine tractors be used when ever
possible, and that straw be used as
fuel only when absolutely necessary.
The following minimum prices were
agreed upon by the threshermen by
the bushel: Barley and oats, eight
cents; wheat and rye, twelve cents;
flax, twenty cents, and alfalfa, 81. 90
BY hour: 1924 gauge machine, $500;
1928 gauge machine, $1,000; 32-ur
gauge machine $1,000, with all stops
over l5 minutes deducted.
BY set: 1924 gauge machine, So
1928 gauge machine SIS; 32-up gauge
machine, $40. Help at thirty-five
cents per hour.
1t took about one and one-half hours
OF debating to set the above prices
the community acting only in an ad.
visory way and the threshermen doing
the price setting.
