c. w. Scott, of Wichita, Writes That
He Needs No Glasses For Old
Home Paper.

The Ledger is in receipt Of a letter
from c. W. Scott, a former resident
of Audrain County who nov lives in
Wichita, Kan, saying hat he is 81
years old and is still able to read this
paper without his glasses, as he finds
it the "plainest print Of any he has
read in years.
Mr.. Scott lived near Rush Hill sixty
years ago, and did his trading in this
city. Since that time there have been
many charges. He says that land was
then valued at 1914 cents an acre, and
hunters chased deer and wolves
through his farm near Littleby.
After moving to Kansas MI. Scott
became acquainted with Buffalo Bill.
He and his daughter, Miss Lena, are
living at $40 Water Street in Wichita.

Course
For Ex-Seryice
Men Is Here

The Y, M. C. A. free scholarship
plan for ex-service men throughout
the county has been placed in the
hands Of Mitchell White, chairman,
Gale johnson and the Rev. W. C.
Cowart in Audrain county. There is
a quota Of $3.50 worth of these scholar
ships for this county.
There are courses in Universities by
correspondence and in night schools
in the cities. To qualify for one of
these scholarships q man must have
an honorable discharge from service,
must be qualified to enter the course
he has chosen. Collegiate scholarships
are awarded by the State Educational
Service Committee.
There is quite a demand for these
scholarships and those who desire to
take advantage o fthis offer should
do so at once.

the mans advantage, which might De
considered an unfair thing to do, con-
sidering the fact that he does not
warn the young lady beforehand that
she is going to have to promise to
obey the man she is marrying.
When he first began his duties in
office Judge Shannon was very par
ticular about the couples whom he
married; that is he always insisted on
the man taking off his hat and stand
ing on the right side of the lady. But
so many persons have come to him
that seem to have no regard for such
minor details that he has long since
ceased to give orders, aside from the
one to Join right hands," This being
the case it is not particularly unusual
to see a man take upon himself the
responsibilities of a husband and pro-
wider without bothering to show his
wife the courtesy Of removing his hat
while the ceremony is being read.
Twice just recently prospective
bride-grooms have come before the
judge with the conventional gold we'd
ding ring, and have kept the matter
to themselves until after the marriage
VOWS were safely over. One mar then
spoke up, in a somewhat timid tone,
and asked if "he" might put the ring
IN cher" now. Of course the Judge
has a ring ceremony, but in these two
cases he was denied an opportunity to
use it.
Most bride-grooms, when wed in
the court house, are too embarrassed
to kiss their brides. But occasionally
one dares the deed. The most com-
posed couple that has been married

The presence of reporters at these
semi-public affairs is a thing not dis
concerning to most of the contracting
parties, but to one St. Louis couple,
who were married here not long ago, it
vas a shock to which the young bride
almost succumbed. Fortunately she
didn't know the witnesses were rep
resentatives of the press until it was
too late and then she plead with them
to keep it out of the papers, at least
the city papers. One could only guess
why she didn't want it known. She
wouldn't tell.

some as it does to others. The fact
that they look on it differently from
the time they are big enough to think
at all is probably the reason wed.
dings turn out as differently a COM
p~arison of them shows them to. "Var-

Mexico weekly ledger., 1920-05-06

The expression getting married
has a different connotation probably
for ever person that ever used or
heard the words. There are some to
whom it means the expenditure of a
mall fortune on clothes, bowers, food
and presents and all the other things
which 90 to make up a 'big wedding"
To others it means a form to be gone
through with merely as an obeyance
Of the law, and one that is judged good
IN proportion to its brevity. Between
these two extreme attitudes are many
others, more modified, but unique,
nevertheless.
There are two big classes of mar
rying" people-those who plan and
then execute their plans for a we'd
ding, and those who just get married.
In the latter class one usually OBJ
serves more interesting types of men
and women, and a frequent visitor to
the court house, especially the offices
of the Recorder of Deeds and the Pro-
bate Judge, has a chance to fill his
mental scrap book with happenings
both amusing and touching.
There is first Of all the timid couple,
(placed first because such as they are
in the majority who walk up and
down the halls of the court house for
perhaps twenty minutes before they
gather courage enough to approach
Audrain County's harmless enough
looking little recorder, Mrs. Nettie
Stephens, to ask for a permit to wed.
Usually "she" stands a little to the
real and n~ervously twists her hand
kerchief, while 'he," his face a fam
ing red, answers the questions put to
him in a voice none too steady
then they both sign the affidavit
swearing they are of age, with tremb-
ling hands, Often, however, Mrs.
Stephens does not have them sign such
a document, for obvious reasons.
This is all in general. To be specific,
one man, not long ago, when asked if
he would sign an affidavit, replied in
the negative, despite the fact that he
insisted that he was telling the truth
and that he had no religious diversions
t. oaths. Finally it came out that his
sole reason for not signing was that
he could not write his name. When
this information was obtained it was
arranged for him to make his mark,
and the wedding went merrily on,

Of mems rights, is given proof now and
then in the matter of obtaining licen-
SEES. Not many days ago a bold woman
came into the northwest room of the
court house, leaving a little wcakling
of a man (whom it developed she had
chosen for her mate) standing dis
creetly on the threshold, and demanded
"some wedding licenses" She got

TITLE CONTESTS
Central Favorite Over West
Phinies-Frankford Likely
Soccer Champions

Contests which have important bear
ing on title awards are on the scholastic
roster for this week. West Phillies and
Central High play Friday for the Gin
bel Cup,and the winners will be crowned
city high school champions. This will
be the big school football game of the
year. West Philadelphia's really re-
markable uphill climb in scholastic foot
ball has worried Central more than the
Crimson and Gold rooters care to admit.
Sizing up the two schools from an
absolutely impartial standpoint, Cen
trail High is the favorite by n good mar
gin, and students from West Philadel-
phia will do well not to risk any OF
their good coin on the Chestnut street
team, no matter how loyal they may be,
for Central High has a record which
cannot be overlooked and should win. II
past performances count for anything.
Taking it for granted that one can never
tell and that surprises are always In
order, Central's chances of victory ap
pear to be about, two to one.
Central Highs overwhelming win
over Southern means nothing. South
ern was not in a class to combat with
the Crimson and Gold machine. Central
High players are not likely to be handi
capped with overconfidence. for they
know full we'll what the S~peedboys have
accomplished on the gridiron of late.
II anything, the Central players. as
well as officials, have been willing, ever
anxious. to remain IN the background
until the time for action arrives. The
time will be next Friday at Houston
Field, and then the Crimson and Gold
will be seen in their true role as football
players. '..
West Philadelphia. on the other hand,
will be on edge for this crucial test OF
the year. 1t will not be the same team
that faced Swarthmore High some weeks
ago. 1t will be a new team, with
1 plenty Of pep and an abundance OF
fighting spirit. and it will be a game
which should lack nothing of the sen
s%ational and daring, with a variety Of
plays. Its a safe bet to say that West
Philadelphia will not attempt to win by
straight football. Will Central be abl'
to stop those tricky forward passes ant
wide end uns on shift formations?

apparently for another try or the third
down with the pigskin on the 1S-yard
line. While Jordon was calling tho
signals Robertson carefully traced out
a line toward the goal posts and dropped
back apparently all set to try for a field
goal. The Cornell line al drawn In
tight and the Darsmouth line spread.
Cunningham snapped the ball back with
the speed of a bullet and as Robertson
caught the pigskin the Cornell team
rushed in with hands high to block the
expected punt.
Robertson. however. started around

shot back toward tackle, shook off two

across for a touchdown.
