COMMENDABLE.

According to Washington advices
The Allied Silk Trading Corporation
OF New York has notified the procure
ment department division Of the ord
nance department of the army that 1t
has decided to reduce its commission
in contract made with the ordnance
department for the Manufacture oil
100000 yards OF cartridge cloth,
from ~ to 3 per cent. The corpora
ton explains that it insisted upon
the higher price at the time the con-
tract was taken because of unsettled
conditions and it wanted considerable
latitute for eventualities.
This action ON the part OF The
Allied Silk Trading Corporation is
certainly deserving of commentator.
1t has contract tucked away in its
strong box that guaranteed it "a per
cent profit, but generously waived the
provisions Of the agreement and vol
unfairly cut its margins to per cent
1t is really refreshing to read Of
this incident. ~ 1t is so unusual that
1t attracts more than passing atten-
ton. May the example set by The
Allied Silk Trading Corporation of
New York be followed by other big
corporations when conditions justify.

Pretty Wedding in harrisburg.
The procession of June bridal az
fairs has begun. A charming home
wedding, perfect in every detail, but
withal marked by an exquisite sim
plicity, was solemnized in the Blairs-
burg home of Mr. and Mrs. E. A.
Schroeder at high noon Thursday,
when they gave in marriage their
older daughter, Miss Helen Hulda, to
Mr.. John Clayton Erton, son of Mr..
and Mrs. William Erton, also resi-
dents of harrisburg vicinity. Rev. w.
D. Spiker of the Congregational
church read the beautiful, solemn
words Of the service in the presence
of small group of relatives.
The father and mother of the bride
met the arriving guests and extended
a welcome of true cordially. With
the approach of the hour of the cere-
mony, two little flower girls-Gene-
We've Hawkes., a cousin of the bride,
and Arloie Conway, a little friend
both gowned in pretty pink silk
frocks and carrying exquisite hat
flower-baskets. filed with pink and
white carnations, descended the
stairs preceding the maid of honor,
Miss Elsie Schroeder, sister of the
bride. The brides attendant was
charming in dainty costume of
white Scotch organdie, lace trimmed,
with shell-pink girdle, and carried
an arm bouquet of Killarney roses.
The bride, on the arm of her father
who gave her away, was sweet
picture of girlish radiance. She was
gowned in white georgette crepe over
white silk with pearl trimmings. Her
cap-veil, which was full length, was
caught with valley lilies at the
crown, and the bridal bouquet was
extraordinarily handsome, being
made up Of bride roses, long stream
ers of tulle ribbons, ferns and rose
buds. The party was met at the foot
of the stairs by the tiny ring bearer,
Margorie Hawkes., another small
cousin, and little fairy in white
wolfe and pink ribbons, carrying the
golden circlet in a white rose.
During the progress of the bridal
party to their positions before "a
simple arch, where it was met by the
groom, his best man, and uncle,
Clarence v. Day, who took the place
Of his brother, Raymond Erton, serv-
ing in the navy, and Rev. Spiker, the
note of Mendelssohn's Wedding March
sounded softly through the home, Mr..
Ira Schroeder, the brides brother
being at the piano. The arch, itself,
bespoke war-times. Instead of flow
ers, tiny American flags We're used
in its decoration and large emblem
OF Old Glory formed the background.
In the hush Of waiting, Miss Sina
Spiker sang Beloved It Is Morn"
