Pretty Bisbee Girl Is Local Soldiers Bride

News of war marriages are coming thick and fast these days but never fail to arouse interest. One of the re- cent weddings only just announced took place in Los Angeles on December 23 when Miss Ruth Patton, daughter of MT and Mrs. J. J. Patton of Bisbee, became the bride of George McNeil, a member of the Supply company, 15sth Infantry, now stationed at Camp Rear ney. Immediately after the ceremony the young people left for San Diego and after remaining on the coast fort night, Mrs. McNeil returned to Arizona with her husbands mother, Mrs. H. H. McNeil, who passed the holiday season with the young people. The pretty war bride is to remain in Tolleson with the McNeiPs for brief period, going from there to Bisbee to be with her parents until after the war period. Mr. McNeil is one of the best known young men in this city where he has lived since child hood. He was member of number of local clubs and generally popular. Dr. and Mrs. O. H. Brown returned Friday from a brief absence in Phila- delphia and Wash ngton.

in favor of reporting it favorably at hearing in December.
 Copies of the bill may pc obtained by addressing the Clerk of Senate tor House) Document Room, The Capitol, Washington, D. C.
 Bills opposed by the general fed eration:
 The so-called Stephens bill has been before congress the last two years, and was reinforced by the Kelly bill of similar import, intro duced during the extra session. At tempts have been made by a group of manufacturers of trade marked articles to secure federal legislation, authorizing these manufacturers to restrict the price at which their ar ticles may be sold to the consumer. i.e.. authority to limit the minimum price at which goods can be sold The government is fixing a mini mum price at which certain goods may be sold in order to protect the public from profiteering by Nnscru- pulous dealers-the purpose of price fixing by the manufacturers is to prohibit the dealer from determining a low price with fair profit at which he can sell to the consumer.
 This law will permit manufacturers to prevent the sale of their goods at less than certain price. and such legislation must inevitably hold up prices to the consumer and increase the high cost of living. It would work special hardship for the wage earners and the woman of limited means who is forced to stretch the dollar to the utmost to provide for the bare necessities of family life.
 Your chairman appeared before the interstate commerce committee III January last, and before the fed eral trade commission in November, protesting that this legislation would De against the interests of the women purchasers and the consum- CTS generally.

INFORMAL EVENTS ARE NUMEROUS IN
 WEEK JUST CLOSED

The week just passed has been filled to the overflowing with the informal events that are popular war time dl- versions. Small dinners, teas and bridge affairs with an occasional luncheon have combined to make the days pass pleasantly and at the same time afford sufficient time to devote several hours daily to Red Cross work. This will be the program throughout the remainder of the season when large events will be few and far be- tween.

MOorehead Wright of Little Rock, Presides Over Enthusiastic Meet
 ing of County Chairmen.

One of the most enthusiastic meet ings ever held in Newport took place yesterday at the Elks Club, when representatives from twelve counties met for the purpose of discussing ways and means by which the sale of War Savings Certificates and Thrift Stamps may be promoted in this dis trict. Chairmen from every county in the district were present, except Chairman Carson of Yellville, and several counties were represented by as many as five men.
 The meeting was presided over by Moorehead Wright, state chairman of the War Savings and Thrift Stamp committee.
 Considerable work has been done in this district toward the sale of cer- tificates and stamps but owing to the extreme bad weather since the campaign started the report from the county chairmen was not what they would like to have had it.
 Each county chairman was asked to explain his mode of work and to state it's result. The meeting was an ex- perience meeting and many timely suggestions were given by MT. Wright. All those present stated they were going back home with the determination to push the work to the very limit. .
 Those present and that made ad- dresses were as follows:
