GUY MITCHELL
IS MARRIED
MISS ELSIE Won WALDT is THE
B~RIDE-WEDDING AT FARI-
BAULT, MINI.

Of all the surprises that were
sprung in Madison today, the great
est was the announcement of the
marriage of Guy E. Mitchell, presi-
dent of the Dakota State bank, of
this city, and Miss Elsie Won Waldt,
of Faribault, Mimi. The wedding
occurred in Faribault on Wednesday
of this week. The bride, Miss Won
Waldt, is well known in Madison,
both socially and in business circles.
Upon the organization of the Dakota
State bank in 1912 she accepted an
important position in hat i~nstitu-
ton, which she filled with much
credit until 1915. when she resigned
Negotiations" as a banker would
say, from hal time up to last We'd
nesday are as safely unknown to the
public as if locked in a vault. But
the final outcome is a real surprise
to the friends, and he has a whole
grist of them, of the bank president
in this city. The bank officials seem
to know little of the movements of
their president. He left Madison
several days ago with his automo-
bile and the only word heard from
him since was a card to his brother,
Harold, cashier of the bank, mailed
at Faribault, bearing the words,
married today" While Mr.. Mitchell
is one of the most nervy business men
in Madison, but his brother Harold is
of the opinion that his handwriting
indicates just a tremor of nervousness
unnatural to the writer, but his sig
nature is as genuine as if signed to a
check.
Just when Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell
will return to Madison, the bank off
Gals are unable to, say. But it is
presumed hat their absence will ex-
tend over several days, while they
enjoy an automobile tour and per-
haps other means Of travel.

Had Texas and Pacific In Junk Box.

The Goulds had T. & p. coal shares
In their strongboxes along with
no ends of stuff of little or no
worth Of other Gould properties
that went to ruin. Now these certif-
Gates of the T & p. have an amazing
value. How much of the $5,0O0,0OO
outstanding the family own is not
known outside a select circle.
They couldn't sell their shares at
$500 a piece. That is the asked
price. But 1t is the confident belief
that before the coal and the oil on the
lands controlled by the company peter
out there will be profits in excess of
$100.0O0,O00, or several hundreds of
millions to divide among the share
holders.
The Goulds have "come back" by Z
freak Of fortune.

George j. Gould and the various

To every great corporation there
are pendant little corporations. So 1t
happens that to the Texas and Pacific
there is a Texas and Pacific Coal com
pany. This concern has certain LAND
rights which were taken owe by Ii
to develop, for there Is some coal In
north Texas. This Texas and Pacific
Coal company dates back to 1888.
1t never amounted to much until they
struck oil In north Texas. Now the
lands of the company are pock-marked
with oil holes. The shares of the
Texas and Pacific Coal and Oil COM
pany They've added oil to the title)
are quoted above $1,000 a share, this
despite the fact that the capitalization

occasions within a comparatively
short time. The new capital has gone
to the old stockholders at 500 q share.

WHAT FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
 HAS TO SAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-Growing consciousness on the part of the gen eral public of the disastrous effect which labor agita- lon and strikes have on the cost ,f living was noted in the review of September conditions issued by the federal reserve board.
 From several federal reserve dis. tricts it was reported also that there was a growing realization on the part of the workmen that their interests are bound up with the interests of the community as q whole and that increased efficiency resulting in greater nrgaHetivitYf was imperative. During Septemoef, there was nr interruption in the usual autumnai swell of business.
 "The high retail prices prevailing. . the review stated, do not appear as yet to have a noticeable effect in checking consumption and the de. mand for higher grade products con tinues"
 Lessening of production by short culUS Ol uOuIS, uCCICdoCu CllSlCHCs and disinclination to work more than part time, has tended to advance the general price level, but recessions were noted in certain foodstuffs, raw cotton, txtiles and hides.
 In agriculture the relatively unsat- isfactory situation as to wheat was said to be compensated by the excel lent prospects for corn. Further in crease in building activity was noted.
