WEDDINGS
Davis-Bray

When Ensign John Marshall Davis
recently came IN from the coast to
visit with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thco. Davis, his Gunnison friends
never dreamed that the handsome
young ensign had taken unto himself
bride. However, O few days later
the fact became known.
The bride was formerly Miss Elnorn
Bray, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
H Bray, and one of the popular young
ladies of this city. The wedding oc-
Cured in Pueblo on Saturday evening,
October llth, at the M f. parsonage,
Rev. Bell performing the ceremony.
The fair bride was attired in
stylish blue tailored suit and picture
hat, and the groom wore his
naval uniform. Part of their honey
moon was spent in that city, and later
they came in to visit with Gunnison
friends and relatives, before going on
to Bremerton, across the bay from
Seattle, Washington, where the naval
base to which he is attached, is
located.
I The groom is the only son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Theo Davis, of this city, and
like his bride, was raised in our
midst and attended our schools. It
was while they were schoolmates that
the romance started, which is now so
happily ended. At the outbreak Of the
war, Marshall enlisted in the navy.
and since then has made a splendid
record for himself, having worked up
to ensign, which is equivalent to the
rank Of First Lieutenant in the army.
He received his commission last MAY.
following his graduation from the
Stevens Institute Of Technology, Ho-
bckcn, N. J., Naval Steam Division.
The same month he was assigned TO
the Y. s. 8. 8, Jupiter, in the Pacific
Squadron. Ensign Davis has made
four trips across the Atlantic, visit
ing Russia, Poland, Germany. Dem

TOWN TEAM DEFEATS
HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
'Has Beeas" Recover Their Old Time
Fern. Much Interest Shown.

The fighting town boys walked
away with = decisive victory over the
high school team Saturday efterneon
by . Is to 8 score. The game re-
mained scoreless throughout the first
three quarters. In the final sesston
the old grads made two suecessful tbr-
ward passes and then put Fullhoek
SieverS over for toueh down. Il Vae
but very short tims after that wheQ
the Grads made another marasr:
Capt. Paul Wright was the principal
ground gamer during this onrush, and
he made the second touchdown, which
was followed BY . perfect goal by
Exter.
The high school lacked the puAch
heavier end moro experienced play
the Montrose game, the fans will sse
new faces in the team ~ . decided
hake-up was made this week. The
coach appreciates the hne spirit
shown by the town boys rs this game
gave the boys their last opportunity
to show their ability before games
with western slope teams are played.
It is hoped that the same team may
scrimmage the students during the
week for the balance Of the season.
Only once did the high school boys
show any squirt of speed, and that was
after the Grade had IS points against
them. Charles Wright was the indi.
vidual star and ground gamer. Or
receiving forward pass he raced 7(
yards and was halted three yard,
from the goal line. In the next play
Hazelhurst carried it through centel
for q touchdown.
The failure to execute forwarl
passes was disasterous to the student,
as the town boys Intercepted fv,
passes at times when the high schoo
should have netted big gains. Care
J. less passing and horrible attempts I,

tional reputation as legal authority.
has resigned The announcement was
made to-day by President Hadley. and
although it did not occasion surprise be-
cause OF Prof. Baldwins age-he is
seventy-nine years old-there was keen
regret that his time of active service
should have ended.
Prof. Baldwin's work extended far he

civil war. He has been Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of Errors OF Con-

low he was one of three men who took

Cational responsibility and gave the

Your Job To-day.

II 100000 men have already sub
scribed for Victory notes, every single
one Of them could not do a better
thing than to subscribe again to-day
for at least an average of $780,, He
could not do better thing for his
country. which needs the money. lie

soldiers. the sailors and the others
who have served and supplied the
Government and who ought to get
their pay fully and promptly when it
is due. He could not do a better thing
for the industry and tie business Of
the United States. he could not do 4
better thing for himself. because II
these Victory notes are not widely dis
tributed 1t Is going to make it harder
for the manufacturer and the mer.
chant to do his business; 1t Is going to
make il harder for the salaried man
and the wage Garner TO pay their bills
and earn their livings.
We might as well propose to throw
monkey wrench into the Industrial
machinery Of the nation as H. propose
to choke up the vaults OF the banks
with Victory notes. You can't thus
choke up the banks without putting
brakes on industry and business. You
can't put brakes on industry and bust
ness without injury to all whose
names are on payrolls.
The Victory note Is good thing
for everybody TO buy, because 1t pays
n very high rate of Interest and Is the
best security in the world. But the
Victory note is a good thing to buy,
it Is necessary thing to buy, be-
eause the American people can Thus
protect themselves against the evils
which would fall upon them II the
Government could not sell It's notes
far and wide and If the banks had
TO stack them up in their vaults.
This Saturday Is the day when
everybody who hasn't bought Vic
tory note should buy one before the
sun goes down, when everybody who
has already bought Victory note
should buy another.
The Victory Loan cannot be a sue
cess without wide distribution. Do
not let it fail. To-day Is the day when
must be determined its success or fall
