ILLNESS STOPS
 WEDDING PLANS

A marriage license was issued on the 14th to Griffith Walter Bruffet of Grand Canyon, and Miss Ada Per kins of Kansas City, Mo. Miss Per kins was expected to arrive here on No. Tuesday and arrangements had been made for the ceremony to take place immediately upon her arrival, in the county court house. However, she did not arrive on that train and it was supposed that she had missed connec- tion somewhere along the route. A short while afterward Mir. Bruffet re- ceived a telegram from Grand Can yon stating that communication had been received there for him, saying that Miss Perkins was rather serious ly i'll at her home in Kansas City, and of course could not come until getting better.

A Toast to the Kaiser.

May the kultur'd cuss, the kaiser,
 float On open sea, in open boat, In Iceland cold without a coat, A million miles from shore, Without a compass, sail or oar, And slowly starving, vainly shout, Limburger cheese, and sauerkraut. Oh, may the kultur'd tyrant dwell In deepest pits of darkest hell, Where little devils dance in glee, Then lock the door and lose the key May Belgian orphans round him
 dance And outraged maidenhood of France Shout forever in his ear, Kultur, kraut and lager beer. Afloat on burning tropic seas, Where slimy monsters sport about, May sharks devour him stem and
 stern, A whale engulf him down in turn; The devil get the whole concern And make it into sauerkraut.

 ITEMS OF INTEREST - ABOUT OUR BOYS OVER HERE AND "OVER THERE"
Is It Mother, or Is Ii Dad?

We don't hear much about him Mother and the boys are getting, tn, credit for carrying on the entire war II we take literally the stories, tht articles and the poems that we reac daily. Mother is doing all the sacri flcing and the suffering and the boys are doing all the fighting, and to- gether they wound up the war witi neatness and dispatch. Who keeps the home fires burning Is it mother or is it dad? Is it ma that buys the smokes and
 sweets, To send their soldier lad? Does the mother in the morning, In the absence of their son, Co sweep the snowy sidewalks, While their soldier wings Hun? Is it mother or is it father, Working, smiling all the day, Digging deep into his pockets For the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A., Buys the yarn to knit the sweaters For their absent soldier boy? Why it's dad. He's glad to do it, And it fills his heart with joy. Just to know he has a soldier, With heart that's brave and true, Fighting for himself and mother, And the old Red, White and Blue. Surely daddy is the father Of those mother sent to France. Always boosting for his hero, Every time he gets the chance. For you know that dad has memories Of his baby boys past days, Always thinking how to help him, In thousand different ways. And he helps the Belgian babies, Army of Salvation, too; Suffering Serbians and Armenians, Doing all that he can do. Standing back of boys and mother, The great essential of this war, Why not do little justice, For all those you're fighting for? He who's wishing for the safety Of their absent soldier lad, Just give half the praise to mother, Give the other half to dad.

FLAG AT HALF MAST.

F. R. Rhinehart gave us an example of the proper manner of flying the U. S. flag at half mast. For instance, so far as we could find out, there was only one flag in the city flown in the proper position when they were put at half mast recently in memory of Theodore Roosevelt. That one was at the forest service office. The only correct place for a flag at "half mast" is exactly the width of the flag below the top of the flagpole. The distance from the flag to the lower end of the pole has nothing to do with it.

Good System.

A little boy had a pony and dog and his generosity was often tried by visitors asking him-just to see what he would say-to give them one or both of his pets.
 One day he told a man he might have his pony, reserving the dog much to the surprise of his mother who asked:
 "Why, Jack, why didn't you give him the dog?"
 "Say nothing-say nothing, mother, When he goes to get the pony I'll set the dog on him."

BULGARIA'S REPLY
 MODERATE IN TONE
It Adheres UnreservedIy to Terms
 Of Proposed League
 Of Nations

Paris, Oct. 24.-Bulgaria's answen to the terms of peace presented her by the Allied and associated powera IS moderate in tone and adheres unl reservedly to the clauses concernin Il the league of nations and labor. l. t accepts the principle of the protec ton of minorities in Bulgaria on con dltlon the same measures are applied to other Balkan states.
 On the other hand, the reply make reservations regarding reparationsl and protests especially against thel total sum demanded of Bulgaria. Tt asks for the suppression of interest charges and requests an extension od the time limit for payment Regard ing the military clauses, Bulgaria ob1 jects to the voluntary enlistment system maintaining that conscription n alone can produce sufficient forces i'd maintain order.
 The longest part of the reply con cerns territorial clauses and protest d against notifications of frontiers on| technical grounds and quoting masseJ of statistics, proposes notably a pIebisl cite in Thrace and its formation fntol an autonomous state. The impression precails in conference circles that theI Allies are not likely to consent to anyI extensive modification of the original terms.
