ing at Z o'clock, when their daugh-
ter, Gorma Edna, became the bride OF

and Mrs Joseph Plunkert, of Mount
Joy Township, Pa. The parlor was
trimmed with white festOoning, laurel
and potted plants, the color scheme
being green and white. The Cere-
mony was performed under an arch
and large white bell by the Rev. John
:. Adam. pastor of st. Mary's Re-
formed church. The bride was at
tended by her sister, Miss Helen Mar
garet BOoSe, and the best man was Mr..
Edward w. Plunkert, brother OF the
groom. The ushers were Mr.. ALVIN
A. Boose and Mr.. Earl l.. Bechtel,
both uncles of the bride. The bride
was becOmingly dressed in navy blue
georgette, over meSsaline, with hat
and shoes to match and her going
away gown was of midnight blue
tricotine. She carried a bouquet OF
white chrysanthemumS and ferns.
The bridesmaid was attired in dress
of delicate pink geOrgette crepe with
silver lace, and wore hat and shoes
to match She carried pink chrysan-
themums and ferns. The groom and
best man wore the usual black. The
wedding marches were skillfully
rendered by Miss Sarah Willet, or
ganist of St. Mary's Reformed choir,
as the bridal party entered the par
lor, the bride leaning upon the arm
of her father by whom she was given
away, was the last to enter. The
ring ceremony Of the Reformed
church was used. Immediately after
the ceremony, dinner was served in
the dining room which was taste
fully decorated with autumn leaves
and chrysanthemums to rs invited

years The bride received many
beautiful gifts. They left on the
early morning train for New York
where they will spend week after

The New Church Edice.

The Church Of God has made
splendid progress in the erecting of
its new Church House since the
Corner Stone Service of few weeks
ago.. The heavy work on the build
ing is already done, the Bethel is
raised and sheathed to the square
A large number of mechanics met on
Tuesday of this week and placed the
heavy rafters. The building will be
WeatherbOarded with a fireproOf ma
terial, having decided to use the
Century Cement single which is
absolutely fire proof and very dur
able, The public has shown every
courtesy and the church with its
pastor much appreciates the fact.
Every legitimate and honorable
means is being resorted to in trying
to earn money to pay for this house
of worship. 1t has been over seven
years since they first began to work
towards this glorious end. AS a con-
gregatiOn they have not been at all
satisfied to sit still and depend en-
tirely on the public for the finances.
but each and every member mas
pledged and contributed to their Ut
most, and now as they have done all
they CdH, AISI W SIdII LuG WOIh L1UV-
ing, they are in confidence trusting
that the generous public who in the
past have prided themselves in doing
great things in great way, and
sending all worthy causes way over
the top, the congregation, worship
ing the same God, have faith AMI
confidence to believe that the good
people of this community will see
them through.
The Ladies' Aid Society of the
church has been conducting a COM
munity market for the past or .
months. 1t is the ambition of the
Ladies' Aid to install the furnace in
the Bethel. They have earned
through this market clear profit of
over $4,000.
The C. E. Society's aim is the fur
nishing of the new Bethel, and they
have already upwards of $3.50 in
their treasury. The c. E. Society is
making great preparation for the
oyster supper on Saturday evening,
November 20 in the Fireman's build
ing. The profits received will be used
towards furnishing the new house of
worship. Will you not go and take
supper with them.

A Costly Blunder
One of our state institutions has a
range that is an odd size and should
never have been bought.A well-in-
formed buyer would have left it
alone. When it was necessary to
get some new bake pans and roast
ers for it, another blunder was made
by allowing the cook to indicate
what should be made. He found
that he could just as well have pans
a little larger than had been used,
and he gave them sizes just too large
to be cut from sheet metal in stand
ard sizes, and for that extra inch or
so added to the size Of the pans, it
made the metal cut to waste and

ket for their odds and ends among
the departments of state and county
governments where impractical fell
lows do the buying and where
shrewd statesmen can unload almost
anything but pink elephants onto
them. The fellows who sign the or
ders and o. X. the bills are not the
ones who have to dig down into their
own pockets to pay for the goods.
A state administration looking thru
it's stores some four or six years ago
found, think, nineteen hundred
dollars worth Of ledgers in stock.
They had been in stock for SO many
administrations that even tho they
were new in respect to- use they were
old and had been a dead loss to the
state. Some fellow was a shrewd
salesman or somebody changed their
official minds. An inventory and a
central buying department make
such transactions very embarrassing
before they get farther than first
base.
Railroad companies use great va
riety of goods, and they do not au-

ers presided over by experts who
take the time to study all the differ
ent goods, their quality, their 'suita-
bility for the different purposes, the
mode of packing and shipping, the
possibilities for simplifying large Or
ders, the advantages of having stan
dard goods and standard sizes for
replenishing broken sets or making
repairs. There are hundreds Of adj
vantages in standardizing alone, that
can be turned to account by the CEN
trail buying power but not by the in
dependent buyers. The late w. H.

had been turned in by almost any
body but department of govern
ment, the makers would probably
have held up the job till they could
bring this blunder to the attention
of the department that ordered it.
But men in business are so accust-
omed to the laundering ways Of state
and county officials that it becomes
a joke and almost anything goes

If there was nothing to be bought

But an investigation of the needs Of
