Community Meetings.

Elsewhere in this issue is a call
for a mass meeting to be held in
the assembly hall at Askov on
Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 9th,
commencing at promptly two
o'clock. The call has been sent
out by the Askov Post Of the
American Legion and the meet
ing should be largely attended.
The local pest recently sent a
res luton to Minnesota's Senat-
ors at Washington declaring
themselves in favor of the Peace
Treaty without amendments and
urging its early ratification They
are now taking the initiative in
framing resolution to be sent
by the community at large and
everyone interested should he
there to take an active part in
thu discussion. Let our Senators
i'm Congress know what we want.
II is our duty for they cannot re-
present us without knowing our
views. Minnesota is fortunate
in having two Senators who are
both friends Of the Treaty and
League Of Nations. There are
Undoubtedly many in this com.
munity who are read up on both
of these important issues and it
would be interesting to hear
their views. We learn by inter-
mingling and swapping ideas.
Another important matter that
this meeting has been called for
is to arrange for some good edu-
cational community meetings
such az were held here last win
ter. If the meetings this winter
can be as good as those last win
ter in point of speakers then it
will be fine and they should re-
ceive the support of all who have
the progress and educational and
moral values of the community
at heart. To hear such speakers
as Professor jerks Of the Mime
sofa University and Judge Bruce
of North Dakota. who were
among the several excellent
speakers here last winter. is Ger
tainly enlightening and pleasing.
Just to go and hear their choice
English ought to be enough to
draw a large attendance. Women
should also attend in larger mum
bers this year than they did last
winter. knowledge is great
step toward happiness.

The Pioneer Press goes on to
comment on the letter as follows:
Here is a very intelligent
young woman who puts her

Girls who formerly engaged in

greater freedom and more in

ed social distinction between her

apparently willing to sacrifice

dings last week. and the news broke"
of the marriage Of Mrs. Edith Edgel-
ton Fearn, well known here as Mrs.
Richard Lee Fearn, to Rear Admiral
Charles p. Plunkett, U, S. N, which
had taken place a fortnight before.
The element of surprise gave an addi-
tional fillip of interest to this event,
as both Admiral Plunkett and his
bride have lots of friends here. The
wedding took place in Washington,
but so quiet was it that the news
didn't leak out for days.
Quite the prettiest wedding Of
the week was that of Leona Cur
tbs and Webster Knight, I'd, Of
Providence, on Wednesday night.
The home OF Senator and Mrs. Curtis
was abtoom with pink roses, gladioli,
end shasta daisies banked against
feathery Australian ferns, and Miss
Curtis rare dark beauty showed to
striking advantage in her bridal gown
and her misty veil of tulle.
The gown was of soft ivory satin
made on straight lines, slightly draped
and trimmed with bands Of crystal.
The court train, which was hung
from the shoulders, was caught in be-
low the waist line with clusters Of
orange blossoms and a becoming
coronet OF duchess lace held her
veil in place. She carried a shower
bouquet OF orchids, Bride roses and
stephanotis and wore a diamond bar
pin, the gift Of the bridegroom
She was unattended. save for her
father. who gave her in marriage.
Clinton Knight, Of Providence, was
best man for his brother, and the
Rev. DR.. Herbert Scott Smith, rector
OF St Margaret's Church, performed
the ceremony Miss Alice Burbage
played the wedding marches and
there was a string orchestra to play
for the reception which followed the
ceremony. The little bridal party
made its way to the improvised altar
through an aisle Of graceful stand
ards linked together by white ribbons.
Mr.. knights parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c.
Prescott Knight, came from Provi-
dence to attend the wedding, Mrs.
knight and Mrs. Curtis, mother OF the
bride, receiving with the wedding
party.
Many Of the Senator's colleagues
were represented in the company of
guests which witnessed the wedding,
as well as most Of the brides girl
friends and a whole grist Of Mr..
Knights Webster and knight rela-
lions. She has married into q large
and important connection, has the
new Mrs. knight, and there was a
gathering of the clans to do her
honor. Incidentally, she got wonder
full presents.
