 MAN WILL TAKE BRIDE TONIGHT

Wedding bells will ring tonight at the Roberts cottage, at Second and B streets, the future home of Mrs. Lowella Morrison and Herman B. Rosburg, who are to be united in marriage at ten o'clock by Robert Joseph Diven, in the presence of T large gathering of friends. The wedding promises to be one of the most elaborate social affairs in the history of the town and the number of invitations issued threatens to seriously tax the capacity of the cottage
 Announcement of the wedding plans does not come exactly in the nature of a surprise to the many friends of the contracting parties, since it has been suspected for some time that they were planning voyage on the sea of matrimony. The marriage will be the culmina- tion of a courtship extending over period of more than a year.

TANKS ONLY FRIENDS, SAYS
 ENGLISH BOY

LONDON.-American airmen who befriended and made a mascot of a bright curly-haired English boy named George Loveridge, will be grieved to learn that the lad had a hard time of it after they re- 1 turned to the United States. Charged with sleeping under a hayrick and having no visible means of support, the youth was arraigned in the Uk- bridge police court recently.
 "Well, my boy" questioned the court, haven't you any friends at all?"
 : "Only the Tanks, sir" the pris- oner replied.
 , He said his father and mother were killed and their house wrecked by bomb in an afraid in October, 1917.
 ! Some American airmen," he went on, ''took pity on me and called me the mascot of No. 1S6th squadron. They treated me very kindly, gave me a uniform and took me with them wherever they went. l was paid S10 a month by the paymaster. When the squadron went to France they wanted to take me, but the war office wouldn't let them, so they asked No. 153d squadron to take care of me. When that left for France I was handed over to No. 228th squadron and came with them to Northolt .::. Now they have returned to America. They tried right hard to take me, but the government said I couldn't go for four years I spent all my money and had to sleep under the hayrick.'' ! In handing the boy over to the police court missionary, the magis- trate said: You must not mind being in the dock. You haven | done anything very wrong"

MANY FRENCH TOWNS
 CANNOT BE RESTORED

PARIS.-Investigations by the commission which is examining the devastated regions of France are confirming the previous evidence that many of the beautiful towns and hamlets of the battle area are so totally ruined that they never can be rebuilt.
 Vaux, of immortal fame, has taken its place in the long list, and the mayors of two other historic villages, Dououmont and Fleury, have re- gently notified their people, who are refugees in various parts of France, that these places cannot be re- claimed, Not only is the soil is such shape that it cannot be culti- vated for many years, but the ruined hamlets are filled with hidden ex- plosives and other dangers.

ARGONAOTS SAIL
 ID SEARCH FOR
 FABULOUS WEALTH

SAN FRANCISCO.-There sailed out of San Francisco bay recently a little company of thirty men whose ship now is pointing toward the Arctic seas. Gold is the age old lure which inspired this ad- venture, (which means cold and loneliness and discomfort; possibly hunger and death
 The schooner Casco is the vessel which is bearing the treasure seek CTS northward, and in her cabin Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote many a romance which these mod ern argonauts are likely to par allel. The ships company includes men who have delved in the earth in all parts of the world. On them will devolve the operations re- quired in mining. Men who have sailed the seven seas are on board, and they will see to the navigation. Then there are men who have been successful bankers and businessmen To several of the later, rated well fixed in the matter of worldly goods, the adventure imDelled rather than any prospect of financial re- turn. But all thirty are share holders in the Northern Mining and Trading company.
 It is another story of a search for a rich mining area where gold nuggets may be picked off the sur face of the earth and where the lodges are incrusted with the pre- cious ore. The location is a secret.
 L. S. McGirk, a mining engineer who has worked in the earth from Panama to Nome, is at the head of the party His office is the musty little cabin in which Stew enson worked. The battered old desk on which Stevenson wrote still is in the cabin, splotched by ink stains from his pen.
 It is reported the adventure that led to the new voyage of the Casco was thrust on the man that found untold wealth in the Arctic, when he and other members of the crew of a poaching sealer were chased by Japanese cutter, and their small boat was wrecked.
 He was starving when natives found him. But he forgot his hun ger as his eyes rested on gold that fairly seeped through the earth. Without equipment, he says, he re- turned to civilization with gold worth thousands of dollars.
 McGirk and others heard the story. Adventures banded to- gether, each providing his share of the estimated expenses. Some of the thirty sold all they had to get money for the venture Others, like Albin Johnsin, secretary of the corporation. and Emanuel Johnson, the vice president, had found much gold in Alaska and are rich enough to buy dozen mines ~.-. ~ More than 800, McGirk says had the money and the desire to go. But no man was chosen unless he knew something of mining. Cap tain C. L. Oliver, the navigator, is not so much miner as a seaman Lieutenant Corbett Bland, who has been stationed at the Presidio for two years, is one of the thirty.
 Then there is "Pat" Pat is a dog of the North, possibly Russian wolf hound. He was picked up at the city pound. His great-grand- parents tracked through the snow of the Arctic.
