There were no lilac blossoms nor
floral wreaths, no wedding march nor
trailing wells; instead the decorations
were silver and gold, diamonds and
one fern, which after all were very
appropriate. But the s%trangest part
of the whole thing was that the jewel

had provided no wedding ring but he

The Sun was shocked as well as
panied to hear of the death of Prof,
p. C. Owens of Sedalia, Mo-, the bril-
liant and hard working Editor of the

and who rendered invaluable service
both to the U. B. F. and the Masonic
fraternity in this state. The race
mourns his passing and his place will
not soo be filled in the hearts of the
people of this commonwealth.

happened in ]. A. Wilson's store last
Monday evening week. 1t happened
in this wise. The contracting parties
were prominent young people of
Greater Kansas City and the cere-
mony was to be performed in Kan
sas City, Kans., at a private residence
of a relative of the bride. An elabor-
ate lunch was ready to be served at
the close of the ceremony. The
preacher was ready to perform the
cermony WIN it was discovered that
owing to the young man not having
much former experience in such mat
ters, the license he procured was is
sued for tn Stat of Missouri and the
ceremony could not be legally per-
formed in Kansas.
The blushing-to-be bride became
nervous, the bridegroom was at his
wits, when the lady of the house re-
membered that the nearest acquaint-
ance and friend on the Missouri side
was ]. A. Wilson, the jeweler. She at
one phoned and requested that he
would allow his place to be used for a
wedding ceremony. Thinking that a
practical joke was about to be played
on him, but in accordance with his
disposition of trying to please his
friends even at his expense, he readily
consented. In a short time he was
surprisd to see, entering his store

BIG TASK.
Admiral Badger Urges Appropriations
Be Allowed to Make American
Fleet Big as Any.

Washington, Dec, Appropria-
tions TO provide navy for the United
States by 1925 as large as that of any
country was urged by Admiral Badger
Of the general board of the navy be-
lore the house naval comm: tee. He
declared the United States and Eng
land together could police the seas.
One hundred and fifty German and
seven Austrian submarines were sunk
in the war prior to August, Admiral
Badger told the committee, quoting re-
ports from Admiral Sims. He said
that the Germans had built 331 subma-
rines and that the Austrian underwa-
ter fleet comprised only 80 craft. ten
of which were obsolete. On August ]
last. Admiral Badger said, the Ger
mans had 119 submarines operating in
the Atlantic and 2S in the Mediter-
ranean. while at the same time Aus
tria had Is in the Mediterranean.
Had the United States been fight
ing alone in the present war. the ad-
miral said, its lack of ships would
have been serious and perhaps fatal.
because it has been learned that the
navy must be strong enough not only
to protect from invasion. but also to
drive the enemy's navy from the seas.
He told the committee that the
country never has~heen and probably
never viii be again. as well prepared
to build a powerful fleet as at present.
Admiral Badger said the general
board had recommended, before the
armistice. instead Of the three-year
program, as recommended by Secre-
tary Daniels a six-year. providing for
the construction of u battleshlps and
II battle cruisers.
Germany had 56 capital ships in her
navy. including 10 dreadnaughts, when
the war hogan. and had seven other
dreadnaughts under construction Ad-
miral Badger said. He added that he
believed work on the seven was dis
continued and material was used for
submarine construction.
The German gun thai shelIed Paris
