Popular Sun Man Marries Tomorrow.

A wedding in which the members of The Sun staff as we'll as the bride groom's many other friends here take an especial interest will be solemnized tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock at the home of MT. and Mrs. Frank M. Gold.
 The bridegroom-to-b is William l.. Chambers, who for some time past has been one of the happy family at The Sun office. The lady who assumes his name tomorrow is Miss Ida Thrasher, who will arrive here today from her home in Stockton, Kans. MT. Chambers is also from Stockton, and that is where Mir. and Mrs. Gold lived before their marriage.
 The ceremony will. be performed by Rev. O. S. Baum. Miss Selma Bush will be bridesmaid, and Uel Clay Bob- bitt, also hailing originally from Stockton, Kans., the best man. After the ceremony and a wedding lunch con, the newly-weds will go to their home, in Mrs. F. A. Morse's residence on North Beaver street.
 Mir. Chambers and Miss Thrashei have been engaged ever since they left high school, some time before the war, when Billy" went across to helr subdue the Huns. From the many favorable things said about her by the several Flagstaff people who know her, the young man is to be congratu. lated on securing such a charming talented bride. And Billy" himself

Bachelor Dinner.
 "Billy" Chambers, of The Sun staff, whose coming marriage is foretold in another place on this page, was the guest of honor on Wednesday night at bachelor dinner rendered by Mer- vile Mills at the latter's home on West Elm street. While Merville posed as host, the boys all say that the greater share of the credit for the delightful six-course dinner belongs to that young mans mother, Mrs. E. c. Mills, who planned and prepared it. But the twelve young men at the ta- ble, it must be admitted, executed the dinner, most thoroughly.
 A surprise was sprung on them when Miss Selma Bush and Miss Hell en Sandon, garbed in waitress cos tunes, entered the room at the begin ming of the feast and began serving the courses. Of course, none of those present objected for moment to the presence of these charming young ladies.
 Those at table were: The bride groom-to-be, Mir. Chambers, Earl B. Rakestraw, Harold s. Sykes, Decker Williams, Uel Clay Bobbitt, Francis A. Chisholm, Bert Sullivan, Walter Carlson, Ernest T. w. Coulter, Fred erick F.. Browning, Merville Mills and Chester Mills.
 It is an interesting fact, by the way, that every one of those young men are members of Flagstaff Battery A. Little Folks Given
 Royal Good Time.
 The Knights of Columbus and their ladies entertained the pupils of the parish school or Saturday with a gor- geous picnic luncheon, which was fol- lowed by various games and sports. They carried the children in automo- piles out to the reservoir and about the first thing that had to be attended to when they got there was that lunch con. Then came ice cream and cakes in profusion. Swings were put up and sack races and potato races run, be- sides other amusements. Charles P. Heisser conducted the arrangements for the knights.
 It was tired, but very happy crowd of little folk that came back to town that night.

Ruth's Birthday

Today is Ruth's birthday. She
is 10 years old. Ruth's mother is
going to have a surprise. When it
was time to have the surprise, her
mother took her upstairs and put
on her best dress, and then took
her down stairs. Then Ruth's
mother said. II will put cloth
over your eyes, and lead you to a
chair"
Pretty soon the door bell began
to ring. Little boys and girls came
in with packages. Ruth asked her
mother what all this meant. Her
mother said, "Wait minute, dear"
When all the children were there,
her mother said, Nov you may
take the cloth off your eyes,"
So Ruth did so and she was SO
surprised that she did not know
which way to turn. Pretty soon
she found out it was a birthday
party. She had never had party
in all her life.
There was Esther. Helen, Mary,
Evelyn. Emma, Tom, Ray, Frank,
George and Ben. The children
played one game and then they
gave the presents. She got two
dolls. two books. a fan, box of
candy, handkerchief, ribbon, pair
of skates, a pencil. When all the
presents were unwrapped and all
were seen, they had refreshments.
They had the party at 4 o'clock.
At 6 o'clock the children went
home, and went to bed, tired and
happy.-Catherine Rickels, age II,

The Lost Will
PART TWO.

Here is how the writing looked
STAND in corner, turn it,, look
down, and you will see something
that will interest YOU"
Pauline did not pay much atten-
ton to this and so she went on at
tending to her work. BY noon she
was done. She went to a friends
house and stayed there all after
noon.
That night as she was in bed the
writing on the wall in the attic
came to her. She wondered if it
could be of any Importance.
Next morning she told her
brother George, at the breakfast
table. about the queer writing on
the wall. He said he had no idea
what it was and he would go up and
see after supper that night.
Right after supper George went
up in the attic, and Pauline showed
him where the writing was. Then
George did as the writing told him.
He tried all the corners to see
which was the right one. The last
one he tried was right. He turned
left and took six feet. He then
looked down. He did not see any
thing unusual He got on his knees
and felt around the floor. He
touched a black mark on the floor
and a board slid back In this were
two pieces of paper. He took one
out and read it. 1t was from James
Lloyd. He had written the note
about two or three weeks before he
died.
1t said that he Games Lloyd had
been jealous about Mrs. Madison
getting most of the will and he
needed money badly and stole the
will. But he kept putting it off
until one day he had an attack of

heart trouble and he then knew he
did not have long to live. So he
had written the note and will and
had hidden it under the attic floor
and had written the writing on the
wall. The other paper was the lost
will. George gave one shout and
ran to his mothers room.
The family was all in there that
night talking things over. George
ran in the room and threw the pa
pers in his mothers lap. She read
them to the rest of the family
whom George was trying to tell
about a lost will and James Lloyd
and the attic floor, until they
thought he was crazy.
When they had heard the news.
everybody was talking at once
Rose was the happiest of all, for
she knew their mother could have
the operation performed.
After this the Madison's didn't
have any boarders, and Mrs. Madi-
son was well. Everybody was
happy, for the mother was we'll

Dear Aunt Poly: Who invent

Dear Aunt Polly: Who invented
clocks? When? C. c.
Dear C.. C.-Different things to
measure time were in existence as
long as ever people lived on earth,
as far as we know, and clocks,
themselves. like so many things in
our life today just grew instead OF
coming into being all of sudden
and perfect, invented by some one
person The very first clocks we
know anything about were water
clocks, or clepsydras, which had a
dial (the face) and hands which
were moved by current of water.
The oldest of these are supposed
to have belonged to the Egyptians.
They came into Rome in 159 B. c.
After a while someone thought of
having a weight to move the hands
instead of the current of water,
and historians think that some
one" was the old Greek Archimedes.
BY the way, in hunting for the
to your question l found all
sorts of interesting things about
clocks. Did you know that there
are several very wonderful clocks
in the world? The story of the one
at Strassburg, capital of Alsace-
Lorraine seems wonderful to me.
1t tells the hours and days, the
passing Of the stars, has calen-
dar which tells the passing of the
months.
There are moving figures which
each of the days of the
week. If you want to find when
the moon is to be new and when
it is to be full, you can look at this
clock and it will tell you. One
genius sits on one side of the clock
and strikes each quarter hour, and
another genius on the opposite side
turns an hour glass at tn eend of
each hour. And then, what might
give you the creeps, is figure of
Death which strikes each hour
with bone. At noon, the II apos-
ties come out and pass before a
figure of Christ, and while they
are passing, rooster above them
crows three times. Did you ever
hear of such a strange clock? l
never have.-Aunt Polly. -...

A N EPILOGUE to the story OF sum-

styles. Tricolette was second thought

mensely popular. Just now it has
Joined forces with georgette and these
two are used together, with the trico-
iette appearing in wide panels on the
front OF sheer bIouses to provide a
smart vest for the street or formal
suit.
Nearly all the new smocks are very
short, made Of georgette with en-
broidery for decoration. Those for
afternoon and dinner wear are in high
coiors and often use plain and fig
ured pattern in combination. Orange.
flame, turquoise, emerald, rose and jade
green are in high favor and they are
embroidered i'm other brilliant colors.
Georgette maintains its position as
the favorite material for blouses, but
fine wolfe is very close to it-may out
rival it as summer advances. These
lovely and practical voiles are reason
ably priced and other blouses show a
decline that is promising. Wolfe is
ideal for wear with street suits and
wash satins or pongee silks are its
competitors in tailored models.

PLAN TREATMENT OF LAMBS
Attention Attracted in Many LocaIi-
ties to Value of Docking and
Castrating Lambs.

The value OF castration and dock
ing of buck lambs destined for mar
ket is attracting attention in many To-
calities where the practice has not
been generally followed. In Braxton
county, w. Va, for example, the farm
bureau plans a demonstration of the
value of castration and docking by
sending to market one carload of buck
lambs that have not been thus treated,
and at the same time a carload of
buck lambs that have been locked
and castrated The prices will be
compared, and a forcefui object les
son is expected. Farmers la Gilmer
county, OF the same state, expect to
dock and castrate all their buck lambs
in the coming year.
Failure TO foiicw this practice gen.
orally is regarded by officials of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, United
States department of agriculture, as
q weak point in agriculture, and they
recommend the practice to ali farm
ers.
