sheep kept and the amount of wool
to be sold this spring.
BY another spring at least, it would
seem good gains could be made on
the sale of wool, and the interest in
sheep raising increased in the county
by organization of a sheep breeders
association. and the listing of all

however, this office will be very glad

a WAR WEDDING

Friends and relatives were invited
TO the home of Mrs. G.. Blakeslee last
Saturday to witness the marriage Of
her daughter. Mabel Lucille. and Edgar
S. McFadden. This marriage was to
be in June, but owing to our coun-
try's call of Mr.. McFadden the plans
were changed and they were quietly
married at noon, May 4th, 1918. Rev.
l. NJ. Harsett, pastor of the NJ. T..
church oficiated.
The wedding was beautiful in its
simplicity. The bride wore a beauti-
full dress of gray silk and carried a
bouquet of pink roses. After the
ceremony a dainty lap luncheon was
served.
Mrs. McFadden is the eldest daugh-
ter of Mrs. c. Blakeslee, who moved
to Brookings one year ago. But hay
ing made her home with her aunt,
Mrs. S. Selix. previous to this while
teaching school in Bookings vicinity,
she is well and favorably known. She
is considered one of the best teachers
in Bookings county and many will
be glad to know that she will con
tinue in the service for a time at least.
Mr.. McFadden has been an attend
ant at the State College for the past
seven years. first completing the short
course in agriculture and then the ag-
ricultural college course from which
he graduated in May, 1918. He has
made himself by industry and
thoroughness SO valuable 10 the state
that when there came a yacancy in
the extension department at High
more one seemed more capable OF
filling it, and he has been holding that
position since March.
Mr.. and Mrs. McFadden lef, on the
evening train for a short tour through
the Black Hills after which they will
return, she to resume her school work
north of Bookings, and he to enter
the training camp. The young couple
have a wide circle of friends who ex-
tend to them their best wishes and
trust that their faith in God will help
them meet the future b~ravely and do
their bit faithfully though far apart
until they may have the privilege Of
making a home for themselves.
