EMER|Y-MAR'TlN

A quiet home wedding took place
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. S..
Emery, at their farm near here on
June "a, 1919, when their daughter,
Miss Esther was united in marriage to
Mr.. Douglas Martin, the ceremony
taking place at $50 in the afternoon
Of this beautiful June day. Rev. 5.
Saviades was the officiating, minister.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Koch attended the
couple as bridesmaid and best man,
and the ceremony was witnessed by
the immediate relatives and few in
innate friends of the families. After
the ceremony and congratulations had
been offered, the company sat down to
a. very fine wedding dinner. Miss
Elsie, jacobson played the wedding
march as the bridal couple took their
station before the officiating minister.
Many useful presents were given Mr..
and Mrs. Martin by their friends. The
bride is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. IS, Emery, and is well known to the
lpeople Of this: city and in her immedi-
ate neighborhood. The editor is not
acquainted with her but we hear that
| she is a most estimable young lady
who will do her part to make the home
a happy and desirable place to live.
Sergeant Douglas Martin is the old
est son of DR.. C. H. Martin, Of this
city. He went away with Company g
to France, put in nearly two years in
government service, came back this
spring and evidently lost no time in
arriving at the conclusion that home
of his own was the proper thing and
thus his decision ended in his mar
riage Tuesday. t'Doug" is popular
with those who know him and is
hard working young man who will do
his part in getting ahead. Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin have the hearty congratu-
lations of many friends in the city and
country for much happiness and sue
cess all through life.
We understand that the newly we'd
ded couple will leave for Powers Lake
this week to settle down on farm.

GREAT BASE BALL
) CAME ON SUNDAY

Valley City ball players Travelled
to Wimble edon yesterday to, try con-
clusions with the ball team Of that
city and came out victorious in one
Of the classiest and fastest games ever
pulled off on diamond. Not only
was it fast game but it was one Of
the cleanest games in which the local
team ever participated with an oppos-
ing team. The Wimbledon team is
managed by AL. Hemp and the Valley
boys speak in the highest praise Of
the courtesy and fine treatment ac-
corded BY the Wimbledon team and
citizens and they say it's a pleasure
to play in that town. The score was
3 to 2 in favor Of Valley City. For;
eight innings neither side scored and a
fine exhibition Of ball was given by
both sides. Wimbledon has salaried
battery and Pitcher Liesman pitched
a record game until the ninth inning
when he weakened when the Valley
boys got three hits, walk and scored
ed three runs. Wimbledon got one run
in the eighth inning and came back
with one more in the ninth but could
not overcome the lead Of one secured
by the Valley boys. Wimbledon has a
very fast team and real bunch Of fine
fellows to boot, and our boys speak
in the highest terms Of their work and
Of the splendid treatment given them.
For Valley City the infeld made a
great record yesterday, playing per-
feet ball. Swanson at third, Thurs
ton at short, Bowen at second and
Christy at first, played league ball.
Swanson accepted eight chances at
third without q miss. Christy at first
played great game. Grise for Val
ley City pitched a fine article Of ball
and Anderson at the receiving end did
the same. "a return game will be
played here. III the near future and we
expect it to be one Of the finest exhi-
;bitions Of ball played on this diamond
If the two teams live up to their work
done in the game yesterday.

PACKING PLANT
KILLS 300 HOGS

The. first regular run was made at
the Equity Coop atiye u packing
plant Monday when 800 hogs were
killed and prepared for market. AZ
half dozen head of cattle were but.
chered. There will be a steady in
crease Of the output Of the plant from
now on, said Manager Louis G. Hoop
man last night.
Today a heavy run is being made
on cattle. Tomorrow an especially
large run will again be made on
hogs. Hogs are accumulating in the
stockyards at rate that threatens
congestion unless the capacity Of the
plant to take this product is taxed.
Last evening there was more than.
1000 hogs in the yards. Twenty
five carloads of livestock mainly
hogs, are scheduled to arrive at the
yards today.
The sale of packing house products
will begin tomorrow, Sales and
shipments will continue regularly
after that date. In preparation for
these, refrigerator cars are expected
any day. They were shipped over
ten days ago.
This week will be taken up largely

various butchering crews. Every
day will see a marked Improvement
in the size and operating capacity Of
these crews and the capacity Of the
plant, said Mr.. Hoopman. As for a
sufficient supply Of livestock to keep
the plant running, that is assured
already, said the manager. In fact
it has resolved insef into the ques-
ton Of holding livestock shipments
down to the capacity of the plant.
