WINS A WAGER TO
KEEP A SECRET

Harland W. Rowan and Miss Mil
dred McNay we're quietly married by
Justice j. NJ. Collins on July Z,
1920.
The announcement at first sight
appears to have been somewhat de-
layed. but It demonstrates that five
people can really keep secret even
though one of the FIVE belonged to
the gentler sex. Young Rowan, an ex-
service man with the aviation de-
partment, made bet with his
friends, when the time came that he
desired to take a wife, he would be
able to keep the event OF the mar
riage a secret for at least month or
until he desired to diyulge IL The
argument reached such a stage that
n bet of four hundred dollars was
made. The Office of the county clerk
was watched for considerable time.
but the secret did not leak out. when
the license was issued and one quiet
evening Mr. Rowan and Miss MeNay
strolled into the court room OF JUS
tiee Collins and with County Clerk
Oldfeld and Deputy Clerk Armand
as witnesses the ceremony was per-
formed
The bride and groom left the lat
ter part OF this week for honey
moon trip. II is likely that the boys
who lost the pool bet will arrange
for a cbarivari on the return of the
young couple that will repay thcm
for their defeat

DICK SWALLOW
FOR COUNTY
ASSESSOR
ELECTION LAW TO Re TESTED
ACTION MAY CAUSE GREAT
CHANGES IN ELECTION AND
DEMAND COURT DECISION.

At the meeting of the Republican
candidates held last night Richard 7.
Swallow OF Shoshone was nominated
TO run on the Republican ticket for
the office of county assessor.
This nomination is made for the
purpose of testing the election law
which declares that when The oandi-
dates hold the meeting following the
primary election. they shall fill any
vacancy occurring.
Some authorities hold that the va
cancy referred to in the law means
a vacancy made by the resignation or
death OF a candidate nominated at
the primary and others interpret the
law TO mean that where there Is no
candidate on a ticket there is a va
cancy to be filled.
The opponents OF the latter theory
declare that such construction Of
the law would defeat the purpose of
the primary.
The precedent established by the
Republican candidates may stir the
political circles throughout the state
and new candidates may appear at
any moment.
II the county clerk refuses to place
the name of. the nominee on the bal
lot the case may be referred to the
court for a decision.
Officers elected for the Republican
County Central Committee were Jake
Fulmer. president. aud George
yhiteley, secretary.

FEDERAL GAME LAWS OF
INTEREST TO HUNTERS

Farmers Bulletin No. 1893, con-
tanning the game laws or 1920. has
been received by Game Warden Pow
ell and County Clerk Oldfield. The
bulletin contains the regulations for
hunting game under the federal.
state and provincial statutes and
gives review of game legislation :or
the year. rhe total number of game
laws enacted in 1920 are about 60,
Which is about normal for even
years, when only a few states hold
legislative sessions
Changes we're made in the big
game laws in New York state. the
buck law was re-enacted which limits
a hunter to one buck a season. Tn
der the law of 1919, one deer of
either sex was allowed to be killed
and it is estiamted that 10000 deer
were killed, considerably more than
half vi that number being does.
Along with this investigation 1t was
discovered that nine persons, mistak-
EN- for deer, were killed and seven
more seriously injured.
The regulations under the Federal
Migratory Bird act prohibits through
out the United States the killing at
any time of the following birds:
Band-tail pigeon, little brown, sand
hill and whooping cranes; wood
duck. elder duck. swans. curlews. will
let. upland plover, cuckoos. flickers
and other woodpeckers. nighthawks
or bull-bats and whip-porwills;
swifts, hummingbirds, flycatchers.
bobolinks. meadowlarks and orioles:
grosbeaks, tanagers. martins and
other swallows. warnings. shrikes,
vireos. warblers, pippits. catbirds and
brown thrashers, wrens. brown
creepers, nuthatches. chicadees and
titmice; kinglets. robins and other
thrushes and all other perchfng birds
which feed entirely or chiefly on in
sects, and also gulls. herons. looms
and petrels.
These federal regulations will ef-
fectively protect nearly all Of the
song birds and other feathered visit
ors during the summer and fall
months from the hunter who shoots
at anything for practice and the
small boy who does not know any
better.

VICTORY MEDAL NOW READY

The Victory Medal is now ready for
issue to some 100000 American sol
diers, sailors and marines, as a trib-
ute of a grateful nation to the men in
uniform who aided in crushing the
German ambition to dominate the
world
During the spring Of 1918, while
hostilities were still at their height,
the different allied and associated ma
ton agreed to adopt a medal which
would be the same for all to com
n1emorate the great war. In order
to carry this plan into execution an
inter-a1Iied commission met in Paris
soon after the signing of the Arm
istice. The commission found that it
would be impractical to adhere strict
ly to the original plan, but it was
decided however, to have an identical
ribbon for all the allied nations, and
to allow each country to design it's
own medal according to general spec
ifcations which were drawn up by
this commission.
The ribbon is double rainbow,
having the red in the center, and with
a white thread on each edge. 1t sym
boIizes the dawn of q new era of calm
| after the storm.
States is bronze, Ia inches in diane,
ter and has the Winged Victory on
the diverse side. While the reverse
has the shield of the United States
of America, with the Fasces and AK
| of the Ancient Lictors raised there
| on. The words ssThe Great War for
Civilization appears above the shield
and on each side are the names of the
allied nations.
Ex-service men should apply tc
| their local American Legion Post, OF
| to the nearest United States Army
Recruiting Stations for blank applf-
| cations and instructions for comp1et-
| ing same When the application has
| been filed out by the applicant i
should be mailed, together with orig
| lnaI discharge certificate or a cert
fed copy thereof, to the United State.
