Arkansas A. o. U. w. Teach Yankees a
 Few New Methods

Sometimes the Yankees up North are forced to admit that they can learn something from the South, Here is case: When the Arkansas delegation went to Wilmington, Del, to attend the meeting of the supreme lodge, A. O. U. w. the delegates from other jurisdictions were so deeply impressed with the methods which had been made effective in building up the workmen in Arkan- sas, that they insisted upon a more practical knowledge. On field work CTS day, Grand Master Workman Frazer devoted nearly two hours to a discussion of methods, and to an- swering questions. Advertising and publicity formed the keystone of the arch which he built up. At the con- clusion of the session, tte grand mas ter workman of Delaware asked that two of the Arkansas field workers who had made such fine showing be loaned to that jurisdiction tenn porarily, to put into practical use some of the Arkansas methods. So A. B. Smith and C. H. Monk of Pine Bluff were left behind to put on a campaign for membership ill the Arkansas style.

Arkansas Shippers Gain Their Points
 in Freight Case

Little Rock, July 26.-A careful an alysis of the report of Wilbur LaRoe, interstate commerce commission eX- aminer in the Memphis Southwestern investigation, just received in the of- flee of the Arkansas corporation com mission, shows that the commission won several points contended for in the hearing.
 This hearing is one of the most inn portant cases that has been before the interstate commission for sometime, as it affects class rates in the states of Missouri, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas. The report of the examiner has been set for an oral argument early in October before the commission in Washington.
 If the report is finally adopted and made effective by the interstate commission, it will have the effect of somewhat increasing the level of the interstate as well as the interstate rates, but will eliminate much discri- imitation that has heretofore existed
 The Arkansas commission conten- ded for a mileage scale of rates to apply in the Southwestern lines ter ritory, and. this principle was approv- ed and recommended by the examiner The commission also contended for g reasonable scale of bridge tolls at the Memphis bridge crossing, which were approved.
 l The examiner has recommended ar ', increase of the rates from St. Louis into Memphis, thus putting Arkan. sas and Memphis on parity as te ! rates from this gateway
 The state commission has taken the position consistently that no advan tage is sought for the shippers o1 Arkansas not justified by transpor tation conditions.

1859-6Oth WEDDING
MANIFESTATIONS


Malcolm AT Toronto, by
the Rev. ]. d. Mckay, on October 6,
1859, George r. Secor to Elizabeth
Malcolm.
On the sixth day of October, 1889,
four happy young people left the yil-
lage OF Scarbor0, in the county of
York and drosS fourteen miles over
the rough roads and trails OF that
time to Toronto. The party was COM
posed of Miss Elizabeth Malcolm and
her sister, Agnes, Mr.. Joseph Puryis
and Mr.. George r. SecoF.
When the young people arrived in
Toronto they went to the home of
the Rev. j. d. Mckay and there Miss
Elizabeth Malcolm and Mr.. George r.
Secor were united in the holy bonds of
|matrimony. That was sixty years ago.
A long stretch of time but we are
pleased to say that the bride and
groom looked as happy on October
9TH, 1919, when they celebrated their
Diamond Jubilee, as no doubt they did
the day they were married.
Mr. and Mrs. Secor were at home
to their friends on their Sixtieth An
lniversary on Monday and many were
the callers they had who came to
congratulate the hearty and vigor-
Gus couple on their wedding day.
The entire wedding party of 1859
were present with the exception of
Miss Agnes Malcolm, and Mr.. Secor
for the occasion wore the same coat
that he was married in.
At seven clock the bride and
groom surrounded by their many
children, grand children and great
grand children were entertained at a
family banquet
During the evening many of Mr..
Secor's Masonic friends dropped in
to congratulate them and wish them
many more years of happiness and
prosperity and to thank MIR. Secor for
his most generous work ii, connection
with the lodge in years gone by.
The Independent joins with Mr..
and Mrs. Secor's many friends I'm
wishing them many happy returns of
the day and may they be spared to
enjoy the fruits of life for many years
TO come.-The Independent, Grimsby,
Ontario.
M. M. Secor of this city, attended
this anniversary of his parents. He

OUTSIDE To
EVADE STATE LAWS
ILLEGAL

Judge Reid rendered an important
decision, which il sustained by the
supreme court, will not permit those
living in the state and who intend to
live within its precincts to be married
outside of the state without strictly
complying with our state laws. The
case in question was Stella Lyannes
VS.. Earl Lyannes. This couple were
residents of Oneida county; they went
to Bessemer, Mich, and were united
in marriage there without complying
with the state law. Mr.. Lyannes
swore that he was twenty-one but,
subsequently his wife learned that he
had sworn falsely and that he was
not OF age. On that ground and that
the marriage was performed outside
of the state, the wife started an action
for divorce. The case was srfed be-
fore Judge A. HI. Reid st Rhinelander,
who decided that the marriage was il
legal as he deemed it not in accord
ance with the state law; while the
age might affect its. legality, in his
opinion the fact that the principals
were residents of the state and to go
outside of its limits to be united In
marriage without complying with the
state law was illegal. Further, the
Judge said in his decision: "Fhe
statutes We're intended to disable from
marriage any permanent resident of
this state afflicted with certain dis
cases. Ii this court is not right in its
construction of the statute then no
inhabitant afflicted with this disease is
prohibited from marriage. He may go
across the state line, contract mar
riage, return Immediately to this
state, and snap his fingers at the au-
thorities. | cannot subscribe to
of ouS statutes which
would permit that, unless the terms
of the statute should require it,"

sold, and whiskey, gin and fancy mixed
drinks containing these ingredients
