WEDDING AT THE
 COMMERCIAL HOTEL

Chas. S. Tracey and Ruby Grey were united in marriage at the Con- mercial Hotel Christmas Eve by Jus tice Smith midst the gaety and envir- onment of the joys of a Christmas Tree and joyous Christmas crowd.
 The young couple have just arrived here from California and perhaps will remain here to take up their residence in Kingman.
 After the ceremony, Mrs. A. M. Brooks, manager of the hotel, had a pleasant surprise prepared for them, serving fruit cake and fruit punch, midst the "destruction" of which, a toast was given to the health, happi. ness and long life of the "newlyweds." ." Following came the distribution of the presents from the Christmas tree by several proxies of Santa Claus" and no one present, so far as we are in formed, was neglected by good old Santa.
 Several practical presents were glv- en, among them being one to Mrs. Primm, a large uncooked beef steak and one of the fellow lodgers received handsome present of package or uncooked onions, which led all pres ent to prophecy that steak and onions would be the savory greeting of the very near future.
 Mrs. Brooks was the champion gift receiver of the evening, everybody seeming to have "it in for her. to the extent of getting her a present, al though several of the young folks present ran her a close second.
 The evening, all in all, was a most enjoyable one for all present and one to be remembered for some time to come.

"Bruues la Morte."

In lost corner of the great low
land fat OF Flanders, defended from
the sea by an artificial dixie, and at the
point Of intersection of network Of
canals and waterways, there stands g.
little town known to- the BelgianS as
Brugge and to the rest OF the world as
Bruges, writes Niksah.
Fortunately for lovers Of the quaint
and picturesque, this city with its slen-
der bell turrets its lacelike gables and
decorated house fronts has SO far been
spared the general devastation that fol
lowed in the wake of the invading Ger
mans. They call it 'Bruges la morte''
and at every turn there is something to
remind the visitor Of the decay that
has fallen upon the town. The ever
recurring view of picturesQuely
grouped tower, gable and bridge, of
wide tree-filled parks, breathes an at
mosphere Of infinite stiffness anG
charm, which is at the same time
strangely pathetic.

Working Out Plans for Months.
The plan now put into effect has
been worked out by the president
through a period of several months.
Almost Immediately after the United
States entered the war II became evil
dent the railroads, under private con-
troll, would not be able to stand the
strain.
The railway heads were willing to
do everything the government de-
manded, but had not the power TO
force one road to sacrifice its inan-
cial interests in behalf of the general
good.
In formulating the plan he will
present to congress the president stu
died the system adopted in England
and consulted men experienced in the
results of the system.
If the English plan is adopted In its
entirety the government will order that
government freight and officials en-
gagged on government business be car
lried free. It then will pay out OF pub
lie funds to each road sufficient sum
to bring that roads operating income
up to the average OF the three years
preceding June 80, 1917.
McAdoo, while director general OF
railroads, will retain the Office Of Sec
rotary Of the treasury, as the president
has pointed out, McAdoO's authority as
secretary OF the treasury twill enable
him to coordinate the many financial
interests involved and which might, un-
less Systematically directed, suffer very
embarrassing entanglements."
The attempt Of the railroads them
selves to provide this single authority
and simpilf1ed organization in the exist
ing railroads war board and it's spe-
cial operating committee has proved a
failure because OF physical limita-
tons, although the president pays high
tribute to the ability and zeal Of the
five rail executives whose efforts have
been devoted to the task. l

railroads that there lies the greatest
promise of government assistance to

The president says that he will ask

Az 20 The Farmers.

The number Of farmers who will pay
income taxes has not been estimated
by the government officials, but it is

who never before have paid an income
tax. The average farmer does not

the services OF government experts
who will be sent to aid him, 1t will not
be difficult for him to ascertain the
amount Of his net income.

may be deducted, but not family or liv-
Ing expense. Produce raised on the
farm and traded for groceries, wearing
