FOOD DISORDERS IN PARIS
Freight Stations consested by Clos.
Ing Of Market Stalls

Paris, Aug. 13.-(By A. P.D-Dis-
turbance at the central markets yes
terday, which resulted in the closing
Of most of the stalls, caused much con-
gestion at freight stations where food e
stuffs are received, At the Bercy sta
tion, in southeastern Paris, the con-
gestion was so great that the railway
company has been authorized to sell
foodstuffs at retail at the station.
The day abounded in striking Incl =
dents. One vegetable vendor was forced
by the crowds to reduce the price OF
his cabbage one half. He went into
a shoe store later and bought a pair OF
shoes. The vendor put on the shoes
and handed the shoe dealer one hall
the regular price, saying he was only
doing as ne had been done by. HI
then walked out.

GOrtIeS-CasF.

Last evening at O'Clock at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Winfield Cash in west Leon,
occurred the wedding of their only
daughter, Miss Wynne K, to Mr..
Charles H. Cordes, of Jersey City,
New Jersey, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev, G. H. Hitler, pastor
of the Leon M. E. church, and was
witnessed by just a few intimate
friends and relatives, being simple
home wedding.
The bride is too well known in
Leon and vicinity to need any words
of praise, for she is one OF our most
accomplished and popular young
ladies. After graduating, from the
Leon High School she taught IN
Colorado and in the Leon public
schools, resigning her position last
spring to accept a government posi-
tion at Washington, D. c., which she
gave up few weeks ago, and came
back to Leon to visit her parents:
The groom is stranger in this
CITY, but is fine appearing young
man. He is an expert chemist and
has been connected with the Dupont
Powder Co., at their Canadian fac
tories since the war began, but has
arranged for employment in one of
the big factories at Jersey City, New
MI and Mrs. Cordes will make
their home at Jersey. City, and the
many friends of the bride in this
vicinity extend their hearty congrat-
ulations and best wishes for bright
and prosperous journey through llfe

Americas Answer at New Theatre,
Friady and Saturday.

"Americas Answer is a tremen..
dous correlation of pictured facts of
Americas participation in the great
war There is no fiction about it.
it is truth-graphic, startling, pulse
stirring truth. The U. S. govern
ment will take from its. archives, in
future years, the pictorial narrative
Of Following the Flag" OF which
"America's Answer is the, second
stimulating installment, and genera
tions now unborn will have re-enact-
ed for them-just as 1t is pictured
for you--the glorious part that the
land of liberty is now taking in
strangling the greatest menace that
the free peoples of the world have
ever known But, it is not alone IN
it's military aspect that Americas s
Answer" is SO absorbingly interest
ing to you. This comprehensive pic
ture visuaiizes just what has been
accomplished in a physical way IN
France, in order that your armies
may be supported and made effective.
Gen. John J Pershing has aptly
termed it pictorial accounting OF
my stewardship during the first year
Of Americas participation in the
war" It shows how the billions that
YOU and other millions Of patriotic
free American citizens have loaned
or given or paid to the government,
have been expended. It silences un-

it deals a staggering blow to. reptile
propaganda; above all, it makes you
proud to be able to call yourself
