That Chickasha will do her part

Wedding Bells Ring When
Handsome Groom Leads His
Blus1irg Bride to Altar

and G.. F. Newell. All wore stunning
decollete costumes and fashionable
bats and carried, trifle awkwardly,
bouquets of roses. They were met
at the altar by the ushers, Claud
Kicker, Will Atkinson, Homer Ross,
L. c. Hutson, Roy Smith, Hal Thomp-
son and Russell Smith. Ernest Hol-
lingsworth, the ring bearer, was a
dainty bit of femininity, rivaled only
by the dear little flower girls, Char
lie Hoover, Ben Brooks, Claris Rick
er and Wayne Hollingsworth, who in
cunning knee dresses and bobbed
hair scattered rose petals with their
childish fingers. Ed Burton made a
handsome maid of honor, but he for
got it was wedding and tried to
work in fox trot as he marched
down the aisle. He was followed by
the blushing bride, Fred Frey, who
Dlarched in on the arm of his faith
er, Mr.. Garner. "Freddie's" natural
beauty was enhanced by the lovely
wedding gown which he wore and
the veil which was so becomingly ar
ranged over his blond locks. He was
net at the altar by the noble groom,
Albert Thompson, attended by his
best man, Mr.. Collins.
Mr. Alger Melton officiated, pro-
nouncing an original ceremony, but
the first part of it could scarcely be
heard for the audible weeping of the
brides and groom's relatives. How
ever, the farcical ceremony was con-
oluded amid much laughter and the
audience forgot their disappointment
that the minister declined to kiss the
bride, when Hal Thompson, the most
frivolous of the bridesmaids, bestow-
ed an osculatory mark Of affection
upon the fair brow Of Harry Ludlow.

Last night Deputy U, S. Marshal

having been captured by Franks in
Purcell. With the machine was
caught negro man and woman Civ

A charge of introducing liquor into
the eastern district of Oklahoma will
be lodged against the man and con-
fiscation proceedings will be started
against the car in the federal court
at Muskogee for the purpose TO sell

some future date.
1t is claimed that the car was
guardianship property, the guardian
having purchased it and placed it in
the jitney service in Oklahoma City,
the negro Haskins having been en-
ployed to run it. The machine will

The war, H. c. Of L., and all other
sorrow and grief, we're forgotten last
night by the hundreds of guests at
the womanless wedding, a more
laughable entertainment than which
the Follies have seldom staged. Per
haps the most surprising thing about
the wedding was the fact that CHICK
ssha's men made such good looking
women, and it was remarked that if
they played that part often there
would be some jealousy among the
female population.
Long before the arrival OF the
wedding party the Christian church
was crowded and when finally the
relatives Of the bride and groom were
ushered in as the curtain raiser, the
fun commenced.
Mr.. Gadd, the dignified mother of
the bride, and A. G.. Goff, who was
auntie, were family connections to
be proud of, but they didn't awe Tom
Driggers, the portly mother, or DR..
Foster, the father of the groom. Lit
tie brother, Arch Brown, was quiet
as q child should be and behaved
very well during the ceremony.
Preceding the ceremony. Jack
Griffin, in an exquisite evening gown
and picture hat, sang sympathy. .
He was accompanied by Herbert
Kicker, who also played the we'd
ding march. R. E. Spaulding and
Mayze Jones we're the gate keepers,
and marched in with modest school
girl demeanor. The pretty brides
maids then arrived and had the bride
been any less beautiful he would
certainly not have chosen such at.
tractive maiden attendants as Paul

work, IL 1t is to be continued.
1t was agreed that the $50 a month
set aside by the Chamber of Com
merce would be the entire extent OF
the support given to the farm bu-
reau by citizens of Chickasha.
Conde Mckinley, secretary of the
Grady County Highway association,
was present and called attention to
the pressing need for a secretary at
the present time to handle some ur.
gent road matters. President ASH
ton was instructed to confer with f..
G. Burton, head of the highway asso-
citation, with view TO making an ar.
rangement whereby a secretary
would be secured at once, the ex-
pense to be borne jointly by the two
organizations until the Chamber of
Commerce is in position to take care
OF it.
On motion of j. W. Kayser COM

presidential possibilities of 1920,
has resigned his offices to return

800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander EvangeIine Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
or Of the Salvation Army In the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
Is contained in report Just received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
Of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
I'VE will do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, land the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and charging
the war relief work of the seven or
CARNATIONS, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for a drive for
funds. Each is. vital cog in a vast
machine for human relief, and each is
indispensable, serving It's particular
elements in it's own way.
"The Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared in privation and
trained to every phase of human mis-
cry and how to cope with it. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
Eve are Of the common people, and
we toll on a practical basis We learn
ed the lesson of how to do it in the
BOer war, when we stood at the side
of Britain's troops and Weathered it
out to the end. We have been tried
by fire, and the mothers and fathers
Of America, as in other countries, trust
the Salvation Array to do the thing
they would like to do for their men il
they but had the chance.
'With 1910 trained workers at the
front, operating from APO huts and
dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing,
has done and will continue to do it's
best for the cause Of humanity and
Liberty"
