The announcement Of the marriage
of Miss Mary Glenn Ferris to Lieu
tenant Franklin Hartzell, which oc-
Cured Thursday at Oxford, ONO,
comes as a complete surprise to the
many friends of the young people in
this city and vicinity. The details
of the wedding have not as yet been
learned.
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Junius Ferris of this city,
and is one of our most charming and
accomplished girls. She was a stu
dent in the public schools, and later
student at Carthage college, until
last fall, when she entered college at
Oxford.
Lieutenant Hartzell is the son of
Mayor and Mrs VIM. H. Hartzel of
this city, and is a graduate of the
Carthage high school, later attending
Carthage college, then taking a
course in law at the Chicago univer-
sity, which was however interrupted
by the world war, and his studies
laid aside to take an active part in
preparation for overseas action. Lieu
tenant Hartzell enlisted in January,
1917, and was sent to Camp Grant,
being later transferred to Little Rock,
Ark, but remaining there a short
time, thence to Waco, Texas, where
he has since been. In July 1918, he
received a commission of second lieu

Knitters with number 10 needles,
will need to knit closely and put on

The standard sock requires the
cuff when stretched, to measure six
and three-fourths inches and the leg
unstretched to be four inches in
diameter.
The length OF the leg should be
fourteen inches over all, and the foot
at least ten and one-half inches and
not over twelve and half inches.
Since the price Of wool has in.
creased SO much, and the getting of

ting committee is instructed to ac-
cept only first class work.
The committee hopes that knitters
will understand the necessity of this
order for first class work only.
The committee Is very proud Of the
fact that among the thousands Of
socks made by Keolxuk knitters and
sent to headquarters in Chicago, only
two pairs have been found to be be

The knitters are especially request

Ships, munitions. food to furnish,
And all the clothes the soldiers wear.
Millions of shoes he has to buy,
Millions of gloves and of hats,
Millions Of socks and sweaters to fur

And gas masks beside all that.

Buy a bond and help all you can!
Nor does he forget the spiritual needs
Of our brave Crusaders at war.

For he has great work to do.

Then prove you're a patriot true.

MANY SUFFERERS
ARE GIVEN HOPE

Interest continues to grow in this
vicinity concerning the new strength
builder, Irogen, which scientists are
claiming is the essential element need
ed for overcoming chronic disease and
rebuilding health and vigor.
1t is pointd out that hospital tests
and experiments oil all kinds have pro-
ven conclusively that thin, weak, frail
people suffering from common COM
plants take on the bloom Of health
and become strong sturdy vigorous
and beautiful, healthy women after
adopting the Irogen treatment.
If the scientists are right, and re-
PORTS from all over this section GER
tainly bear out the claims that Irogen
is the true blood and strength-builder,
a relief is offered suffering humanity
that will rank with the greatest DIS
coveries of modern times.
Warning is given, however, that, ow-
ing to its well-known fiesh-building
powers, Irogen should not be taken by
anyone who does not desiIo % add
flesh.
Note-Irogen, the product mention
ed above, is now on sale in Brownsville
