HUDDLEsToN-PARRIGAN

A very quiet wedding was solemn.
lied at the home of Rev. and Mrs
Jas. M. Taylor last evening, June 49,
about 10 O'clock when Miss Hanna
Elma Huddleston became the wife OF
Homer Parks Parrigan, of Mills
Springs, Kentucky. Rev. Taylor per
formed the ceremony in the pres
ence ofSthe immediate relatives of
the bride.
The bride wore a pretty, simple
gown of white, while the groom wore
the conventional black.
Mrs. Parrigan is the sister of DR..
F. w. Huddleston and is beautiful
and charming lady and has won many
friends during the few years that she
has made Liberal her home.
Mr.. Parrigan for the past year has
held position as a mechanic with
the Texas Company in Tulsa, Okla
homa. He is not known to many
here, but we feel sure he is man Of
splendid character, or he would not
have been Mrs. Parrigan's choice.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parrigan will leave
for points in Kentucky tomorrow
where they will spend few months
visiting relatives and will be at home
in Tulsa after September /.
The congratulations and best
wishes of their many friends follow
them as they go to establish their
home.

position in the cabinet would not on
ly be anomalous but positive men
ace to the realization of the ideal for
which tht Allies are fighting.
Mr.. Roosevelt, so far as his atti-
tude is defined by his utterances, is
a firm believer in the ENABLED fist"
philosophy of government. His
ideals of maintaining peace and of
the individual ornaments which it is
proper for nation to maintain are
closely akin to the Prussian militar-
istic ideal. He is not in sympathy
with League of Nations to enforce
peace and is the leader of school Of
militarists in this country whose pro-
gram, were it,adopted, would not on
ly make it possible for the United
States to lead in the working out Of
a system for the maintenance of in
ternational peace but would make
the achievement of this much to be
desired goal practically an impossi-
bility.
The Colonel would be very much
out of place in any official capacity
much as one may admire his .buoyaut
Americanism in private life.-Dodge

MIR. WILSON'S APPOINTMENTS

Charles E. Hughes vigorous pro-
test to the United States Senate over
the latter's insistence in the matter
of conducting probe of its own into
the air craft situation ought to be
enough even for that disgruntled
body of irreconcilables. Such re-
Duke coming as it did from Mr..
Hughes ought even to silence the
pugnacious Chamberlain.
1t would seem that when President
Wilson has manifested his fairness
and earnestness in the matter of the
investigation to the point where he
is willing to trust the entire case to
his former opponent regardless of
what verdict may BIT brought in, that
it is time for the Senate to quit
playing politics and do what it can
to help, rather than hinder the in
vestigation.
The appointment Of Mr.. Hughes to
this important position furnised good
opportunity to say what must be ap-
parent to all that seldom has a chief
executive shown such willingness as
President Wilson to recognize and
use ability wherever found, even in
the ranks of the party of opposition.
Chas. E. Hughes, William H. Taft,
Chas. M. Schwab and Mr.. Settinus,

open minded recognition of ability
Some there are who still pretend to
believe that Theodore Roosevelt
should havt been made secretary of
war but it ought to be apparent even
to the near sighted by this time that
the Colonel is wholly out of tune
with the spirit and purpose which ami
animates and directs the activities of
the Allies that his appointment to a

To the Editor Liberal Democrat:
In view of the fact that several
persons in the country have remarked
that they feel sorry for the farmer
who is so unfortunate as to have
some of we town fellows wished on
him for harvest or other work, will
say that /, for one, have done more
real, all around farm work on a farm

than many farmers in Seward county
have done all their life; and will fur
Their say that if do not stay with any
farmer who is put beside me in this
seasons harvest, | shall donate all
do make in the harvest to the Red
Cross; and say further if any farm
er in this county of my weight thinks
he can throw me down or out run me
one hundred yards and will put up
$25 on the outcome / will put up
the same amount, the $50 to be do
mated to the Red Cross. Last fall l
worked beside my renter in Stevens
county, who / know is a strong man
and as industrious farmer as any
man, through broom corn and maize

do my share in the. harvest fields this
summer. Wherever the Liberal
Chamber of Commerce, of which am
member, sends me l shall go and

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

hard to reciprocate by little suppers
or luncheons as a rooming house
does not permit OF that. as you quite
well know, and heretofore I've
found gifts of homemade candy &C
ceptable. But candy-making Is also
vetoed in rooming houses. and there

Writes the Problems Pitfalls War
= Especially for Washington Women

I IKE many other virtues,
thrift has a drawback.
- People who have learned
to save have a way of getting
into a mental rut. They come to
think of income and outlay as ut
terly mechanical and invariable,
and the thought of change upsets
themNto the point of panic.
Haven't you found that this ap-
plies to war workers?
Women who have been earn
ing salaries that seemed big at
home been obliged 10 arrange their
lives on a new scale. They've be-
come excitedly conscious of their
lack of bank accounts, they must
save franctically for this or that,
they've come to feel themselves
dependent on a regular inflow of
money.
And now they will have to read
just themselves, for WARRIORS can't
last forever. Meanwhile, what is
the minimum of decent, comfort
able living? That's what thought
full war-workers should be asking.
Here are some of the letters
that have set me thinking.
Saving For n Home.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Can you help me to plan our fu-
ture life? Ny husband and l are
both war-workers. am earning
81 100 a year and his salary is 81 400.
In spite of the price of eggs and
the wages OF washerwomen. we do
get along nicely on this. We are
even saving for a house of our own.
which, as we have no children. we
hope to achieve in three years or
more.
But how can we be sure that our
Jobs will last? Neither of US has a
profession to turn to. What do you
think will be the outcome OF our
frugal saving, and isn't 1t likely
that we shall have to eat up that
stueco cottage. with its honey
suckle covered porch, and its let
tuce and radlsh patch, before
we've even bought the land it's to
stand on?
Partners In Thrift.
Remember that the world is full
of work to be done and that a
change of job isn't a calamity.
Don't relax your energy and hope.
They're more important than dol
lars, and you really can't get that
stucco cottage without them.
