is spending the greater part OF today
in Annapolis. He will, however, re-
turn to town in time TO attend the
tea dance which Mrs. Marshall Field
Is giving this afternoon in his honor.
Mrs. Field has invited a number Of
Souny girls to meet His Royal High
ness. The members of his suite will
also be present and the little party
promises to be one OF the most de-
lightful events OF the young Princes
visit.
This morning his loyal highness
called upon Mrs. Marshsll, wife of
the Vice President at the Willard.
Mrs. Marshall has been i'll and is still
unable to leave her apartment, so this
was her first opportunity to meet the
royal visitor.
On his arrival at Annapolis, the
Prince was greeted by a salute OF
twenty-one guns: and following an
inspection of the Naval Academy and
a review OF the midshipmen, he was
entertained at luncheon by the super

THE WEDDING MONTH.
June, the Month of Roses and Ro-
nance.

June from time immemorial has
been regarded as auspicious for
weddings. Marriages of the quiet
home wedding kind may be nearly
as frequent at other times of the
year. But the girl who wants to do
the thing up with all the fixin IS,
finds that the abundance of flowers
at this time of the year solves many
decoration problems. Nature becomes
the florist, and no fancy prices have
to be paid for blossoms.
The symphony of love demands a
stunning climax, with all the para
phernalia of flower girls, ribbon
bearers, bridesmaids, color schemes,
march players, and goodness knows
what: To the masculine mind, they
all look about alike. s--.a-.
But the discriminating feminine
observer finds them fun OF infinite
and interesting variations all having
more or less significance, with the
usual conclusion that the last we'd
ding attended was the prettfest.
The masculine element looks upon
these doings with mixture of
amused tolerance and bored indif-
ference. Father-in-law gently hints
to the prospective bridegroom that
an elopement solves many problems,
and informs him that for a flyer a
respected clergyman over in the next
city will perform the ceremony with
perfect regularity and good form and
no expense. The bridegroom assents
heartily, but regretfully admits that
he has no voice in the proceedings
which are preordained by the higher
powers.
The glorified wedding may serve
a purpose as a suggestion of the
supreme dignity Of matrimon Any
way the microbe of romance is said
to be busy on such occasions. The re-
suits of the infection are commonly
observable by another season. The
June bride is worthy of all her
honors. The well being of the race
is built on her womanhood. The
Public Opinion takes off its hat to
Der, with respectful Difference and
best wishes.

FATHER DIED; son BORN.
Soldier Met JOY and Grief
On Arrival.

Fredericksburg, Ia.-News both
sad and joyous was awaiting Pvt
Jesse Moody when he arrived home
from overseas, yesterday, for during
his absence he has lost father, and
gained a son.
There was no one at the depot but
the usual group of onlookers when
he arrived, but across the vacant
lots which lie near the track his
aged mother could be seen hanging
up clothes.
When she looked up and saw him
approaching she dropped her basket
and started to run toward him. He
set down his grips, took off his hat
and stood waiting for her and the
embrace he knew was coming.
A few minuits they stood talking
in the open space and then watchers
saw them cross the yard weeping
and enter the house. A short two
weeks ago the soldiers father died
but he had not been informed.
Another and happier welcome
awaits at the home Of his wife's par
ents at Eden, Ia, where for the past
two months little son has been an
ticipating the arrival of his soldier
dad.

Waverly Dog Stole the Candy.

Sometimes we hear it said that a
dog is more intelligent than his mas
ter. Sometimes we are almost willing
to believe that the statement is true.
Now to square ourselves with George
Hunt we want to start this story BY
saying that the above statement does
not hold true in the following in
stance. For some time Mrs. Hunt has
had one of Ed. VanDorn's little boys
come after her washing and take ii
to the laundry woman. Mrs. Hunt
has usually made it a practice when
she was not at home, to place sack
of candy or nuts in the basket for
the youngster. The past two weeks
the candy was missing. The boy was
too much Of gentleman 10 mestipn
the fact, but last Sunday evening
Mrs. Hunt placed the washing on the
porch. Concealed in the basket was
the customary reward of candy. Not
long after the basket had been
placed there one of tac members Of
the Hunt household saw their old
dog Joe" go to the basket and after
shopping around for minute his
nose came out, but that was not all
that came out, as he had in his
mouth the bag of candy Aid he quiet
ly proceeded to eat it, just as if it
had been hidden there for his special
benefit. "Old Joe's'' shrewdness has
so tickled all the parties directly in
terested that he has been forgiven,
but it is intimated that next Sunday
evening he is apt to be disappointed
when he goes after his weekly al
lowance of candy.-Waverly Indepen-

The Most WELCOMED Tire
That Ever Came to Market
Men Who Appreciate Superlaue Values Prefer The Brunswick

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: How much can
we give for the money" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become &C
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
Germ noted as leader in every
line it entered since 1845-has once
more proved that its policy is right.
A perfect tire is simply matter
OF knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skirnping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.

tire makers includes a brilliant staff

it, unfolds lens, sets it astride his
nose and looks you in the eye.
