OCTOBER WEDDING ANNOUNCED.
Mrs. Hayne Jones Announces Strib-
ing-Wallace Wedding.

One Of the most interesting affairs
Of the past week was a luncheon,
given at The Alexander House by
Mrs. Hayne Jones, in compliment to
Miss Anna Stribling. On arrival the
guests were received by the hostess
and !nyited into the reception room
to meet the charming honoree.
Promptly at IL o'clock the party
entered the dining room. Covers
were laid for twelve. The table was
especially attractive in the marked
simplicity. The dainty place cards
were tiny brides and grooms, on
which were written the names of
each guest. In the center OF the
table stood a stately basket which
held a shower bouquet Of brides
roses. Around this lovely center
decoration was a shower of pink and
white rose petals. Hidden among
these petals were dainty pink rose
booklets tied with white ribbon, the
ends Of which were fastened to each
place. At the bidding Of the hostess
each one drew. her ribbon, and there,
inclosed beneath the fold Of the rose,
were found the names Of Miss Anna
Stribling and DR.. Witherspoon Wal
lace. On opening the booklet the
date of October 30th, 1919, ap-
peared. The hostess presented Miss
Stribling with lovely brides book.
A miniature bridal bouquet was given
each guest as souvenir Of the
happy occasion.
An elaborate four-course luncheon
was served. aN
Mrs. Jones wore becoming gown
of blue taffeta and georgette COM
bined. Miss Stribling was charming
in a midnight blue serge, which was
luxuriously embellished in silk en-
broidery. She wore rose-colored
toque.
Those present were: Mrs. Hayne
/ Jones, Misses Anna Stribling, Julia
and Sue Maxwell Eloise Strother,
Eunice Macaulay, Anna Darby, Sallie
and Tabitha Stribling, Daisy Strong;
Mesdames John Dendy and Chas. w.

Insurance Taxes

1t must be clear to every bust
ness man +fat when the ST. Il, inn
poses an extra tax on an insur-
ance company, but by the people
who insure with it. We have be-
fore us a table showing the re-
ceipts and disbursements of the
state insurance departments, for
every state in the union. The
table shows the total of special
taxes extracted from the insur-
ance companies, nominally to
pay the cost of insurance depart
ments, and the excess of these
taxes paid over the actual cost OF
the departments. The state OF
Pennsylvania, for instance, col
lects $2,646,OOO more from the
companies than the cost of the dc
partment which means that in
this way the state of Pennsylva.
MIA, through the insurance comps
MES, is imposing this additional
tax on it's people. This is al
right, so long as it is understood
but the people should never gel
it into their heads that thu

public can get taxes out of an in
surance company which he COM
pany does not first get out of the
people. Michigan and Wisconsin
are we'll over the million dollar
mark, in excess and Ohio is near
to the two million dollar mark. 1t
appears that nearly every state
has looked on this source of
revenue as easy mney. In South
Dakota we collected $229,O57
from the insurance companies in
1917 for the maintenance of the
state insurance department
which actually cost $24,698. The
excess was $2O4,359 which rep
resents the additional tax secur-
ed by the state from the people
through the insurance companies

Economical Use of Meat

The big meat packers are an
nouncing that they are going to
start an advertising campaign to
teach the public how to use
meats economically. If there is
not much demand for a particu-
lar cut of maat which has good
fod value, it is proposed to edu-
cate the public up to using it..
This is such sensible idea, thac
it is wonder it was never tried
before.
When meat began to advance
some years ago, the government
and authorities on household
economy began to urge the peo-
pie to ues the cheaper cuts. The
newspapers printed a great deal
of stuff showing how these less
expensive meats could be made
xappetizing.
But many people complained
that when they went to their mai
kets, they could not find these
cheaper cuts on sale. Apparently
a good many provision dealers
not finding much demand fol
them would take no pains to have
them in stock.
Since meat has been so very
high, people have had to consid
er its cost more carefully. Tn,
use of the cheaper cuts have beer
popularized to large extent
Still there are many people O.
quite small incomes, who persis
in having the most expensive
portions. They can't seem t.
realize that the skilled cook cal
make the ther sections very pala
table.
The meat packing interest
have much to gain by populariz
ing information of this characte

The Last Three Cent Stamps

The post offices are cutting
down on their supplies of three
cent stamps and stamped enve-
lopes in anticipation of the re-
duced rate. In a few days more
the familiar and friendly old red
stamp will carry your letter any
where in the United States.
Almost any means of raising
money pay for a great war was
legitimate. There were few COM
plants on account of the in
creased cost of postage. At the
same time it was a tax on a
necessity rather than a luxury.
A large percentage of the mai
matter is the correspondence of
business houses. The higher cost
of the postage was one of the
added costs of doing business,
which has been added to the cost
of goods. Eventually the people
have had to pay for it.
Of the strictly personal let
tiers going thrrugh the mail,
probably half relate to matters
of individual business which alb
solutely require attention.
The only portion of the mail
matter which anyone could pos
sibly consider a luxury, consists
in friendly correspondence, and
such exchanges as post cards.
Friendship and family relations
are q necessary and vital element
in the life of the nation. Let
tiers are the means of maintain
ing such relations, and can not
be called a luxury.
Fancy and picture and motto
post cards would then seem about
the only portion of mail matter
that can fairly be cluassed as q
superfluity. There would be ne
great kick from anyone if they

feeling toward the packing inter-
ests. Many believe they have
made too much money out of the
exigencies of the people. If they
can do anything to promote a
more economical use of meat, it
must tend to relieve tn epressure
of prices, and in that way to
create more favorable senti-
ment toward the packing interest
1t always pays for the sellers of
any article to show the consum-
ers how to use it to the best adj

The Massaba Ore, publised at
Hibbing, says that perhaps the
propaganda being so literally
advertised at the present time to
own your home may be a
scheme of lumber barons, but
even if it it, it is nevertheless
worthy of support. The Ore never
stated a greater truth. No mat
ter who stated the slogan it is in
the interest of all concerned. 1t
means better government and a
higher grade of citizenship. You
never find a man who has a home
!of his own carrying the red flag
TT shouting anarchy. He is con-
tented citizen adm finds more
pleasure in cultivating his little
garden and watching things grow
He has no time for those who
would destroy the government.

School Graduations

The purpose of school gradu-
alton or other exhibition of
school wrk, is in a way, advertis-
ing. 1t is to intrest the public in
the work Of the school. When a
group of young people stand up
and give papers showing how
their minds have been enlarged
and their powers developed by
certain courses of study, the bene
fits of education are advertised
The old fashioned school exhi-
billions and graduations used to
present some tremendous pro-
grams. The hotter the day, the
more lengthy the exercises usu.
ally were. Lofty sentiments,
elaborate periods, and wise adj
vice were handed out by the
young disciples of culture. Sus
picious persons had their doubts
as to who wrote some of the com
positions. Sometimes every mem
Der of a big graduating class was
given an essay or recitation or
musical solo. The school authori-
ties might not dare omit anyone
for fear Of offending parents.
The modern school graduation
or exhibition frequently secures
some able speaker, who may be
able to convey a good educational
message. But no important ora.
tor is 50 convincing to the aver.
age audince as the display of q
schools finished product. When q
group of bright and trainec
young people are presented t.
show how school has taught
4 them to think and use thei,
brains, the most convincing proof
is given of what education &C.
complishes.
