Only the relatives were present at the service which was read by Judge R. c. stan ford The wedding took place at noon and only the few guests present knew the plans of the couple who had wished to keep the affair secret.
 When it became known yesterday morning that marriage license had been issued there were frequent tele- phone calls for Mrs. Troutman from the Water Users association, but the bride-elect refused to tell her friends when the ceremony was to take place
 Her many years connection with the association, first as assistant secretary and later as assistant paymater made Mrs. Troutman a valued employe. There were many regrets when she filed her resignation last November. She first met Davis in his official capacity as cheif timekeeper for the association. He was formerly with the reclamation service and was stationed at Roosevelt. He has been with the Water Users since it took over the project.
 The guests present at the wedding were Mrs. Ada r. Caie Mir. and Mrs. George C. Barnum, Miss Francis Caie Mrs. L. c. Harkins. Mrs. Lonnie Henley and daughter Agatha.

More than 300 members of the Phoenix lodge of Elks and visiting brothers crowded the local clubrooms last night at what is declared to have been the biggest and most success full social session ever held in this city. The entertainment provided aft CT the close of the business of the evening was the biggest show" ever staged in the city.
 From the Del s. Lawrence Dramatic company, which opens at the Elks Monday night in a season of stock, came eight members, including Del s. Lawrence, himself; Miss Velma Steck, the leading woman; Miss Florence Orinty, the ingenue; Howard Nugent, Albert Aldirge and others. There were songs, recitations and stunts from each member.
 The American Theater Jusical Re vue sent 20 to the social session, in cluding a five-piece orchestra and a chorus of eight. The La Terra Sis ters appeared in dances that brought down the house. The chorus sang three numbers, changing costumes for each one. Dayton c. Payne at the piano was foremost in providing the music.

 One dared not breathe the name Of the organization for fear his nearest neighbor might belong to it and many a man suddenly disappeared because of unguardedly making a careless re- mark about the Ku Klux Klan.
 When first hastily gotten together, it is said, these modern knights en- rolled the best and noblest blood in the old south, but after their specific mission was completed and a stable law regulated the rights of the south- ern people, their services were no longer required and they disbanded, when the hoodlums and desperate characters of the land took up the or der and used it to cover their own deeds, thus bringing down upon :he name of the "Clansmen" the odious reputation they have ever since borne.

Five members from the Mexican repertoire company were present as were three colored per formers, two of them buck and wing dancers.
 A four round boxing match between Billy Houghton, United States marine, and Kid Williams of Chicago was a hot and exciting one.
 HoGhe Dick served the lunch, which was said to be unsurpassed at any previous session. The affair lasted until a late hour and will go down in lodge history as probably the biggest affair of the kind ever given in Phoenix.

Rolsheyism on the lob

What Bolshevism on the job, in full working array will do, is described in the current issue of Forbes Magazine by Jacob de Julin, president of the Conner cia Mission of the Finnish government. Early in January of last year while on business trip to Helsingfors he was warned that the Reds had taken over his plant at Lake Saima. promoted a machine oiler to the post of manager
 discharged most of the original working force, every one of which was glad to escape, and undertook to- run the plant according to true Bolshevist rules The result was that without technical direc- ton and trained executive skill they managed to run the mill exactly two weeks and thereafter 1t operated no more There were seven months supply of food-which was short in Finland at the plant. The Bolshevists took it over and divided it. By the time the whitcs guard or -bolshevist troops arrived on April z6, this food was all gone. for the reds had not only eaten double rations but had sold much of it.
 Finally the white guard forced the reds to surrender-and MT. Julin was again in charge of the plant. Out of 2O00 employees only 150 were left the rest having fled or had been made prisoners To sum up: The net result of bolshevism In the plant was likeness for everybody and comfort for nobody for nearly all
 of the three months because of the lack of skilled men, waste or food and raw materials, with starvation in it's wake terrorism,s disorder, footing and robbery And after Mir.

 "No," said Ring.
 "You'll find it kind of hard getting along with this gang of baseball writer's" commented Fullerton.
