MISS LEA WRIGHT BRIDE OF
ONE OF UNCLE SANS BOYS

One of the prettiest of weddings
was that which took place at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
S. NJ. Wright, on Garnet mesa,
Wednesday morning, June 23rd. at 9
Lea, was led to Hymen's altar by Mr.
John Patrick Foster of New York.
. Rev. J. C. Ashley of the Christian
church, performed the ring service,
the ritual marriage ceremony of the
Book of Common Prayers being en-
ployed. The couple was attended by
Miss Mildred Seeley of Montrose, and
John Hazlett of Delta.
The groom is a returned soldier,
having been twice severely wounded
in the Battle of Chateau Thierry, and
holding the honor of being among
those who helped to turn the Huns
back in their drive on Paris.
The bride made her home here the
past twelve years, attending school at
Fort Collins and studying music in
Kansas City. Both are fine young
people and their influence in the COM
munity can only be for good. We feel
that we are expressing the common
sentiment when we wish for them ev-
cry happiness and gift of grace in the
years to come.
After the ceremony a splendid we'd
ding breakfast was served. the fam
lily of the bride and a few neighbors
and old friends being present, after
which the happy bride and groom
went to Ouray for few days we'd
ding trip. On their return they will
be at home on Garnet mesa.
There were many beautiful presents
and the event was a joyous one. Mr.,
and Mrs. Wright have the natural
ospitality-not formal, but sponta-
neous and irresistible.
We wish to be among the many
friends who unite in heartiest con-
gratulations and best wishes to the
bride and groom.

GROCERY STORE SUCCESS CONES
ONLY THROUGH ADVERTISING

The National Grocer, a magazin de-
voted to the interests of grocers, Do
votes three pages in its latest num-
ber to the success two brothers have
made with their retail grocery II a
Michigan town.
The brothers feel that they owe
to the public to keep them posted
what their store is dsins, and
the only way to keep the public pc
ed is by advertising. Newspapt
have been used. with half-page CO
at stated intervals, giving the pub
a list of the bargain offerings in
store. They believe that the pub
has right to expect to be advertis
to-that it is not up to the public
seek out the grocer. but the duty
the grocer-and his privilege, as we
to seek out the customer by adver
tising. and by advertising to tell hin.
what the store has for sale. They
make no pretension of "high-brow"
advertising. 1t is simple, plain, every
day advertising. written in conviue-
ing manner and designed to keep the
public posted on their progress. That
it is good advertising is constantly be-
ing proven by the results, in actual
business, which it constantly Sc
cures.

FRANCE NOW OWNS WORLDS
MOST POWERFUL WIRELESS
CBy Associated Press)

PARIS, France, Aug. 1.-THE La
Fayette wireless station near Bor-
deaux, designed and erected by Amer
lean forces during the war has been
turned over to the French govern
ment. It. is the most powerful plant
in existence with double the range OF
the Annapolis installation.
The armistice found the station
half completed and so the completion
has been slow as the urgent need of
it no longer existed. 1t is to be used
as part of the comprehensive system
planned by the French service fol
reaching all French colonial points y
wireless.
Eight towers of structural steel
each within very few feet of the
Woolworth building in. height are
grouped in two rows of four to sup
port antennae that cover an aeria
surface about a mile long and ;
fourth of a mile wide. Each towe,
weighs $50 tons as compared with :
weight of 2,700 tons for the Eiffe
tower in Paris which, is only fourtl
higher than the La Fayette struc
lures.
The range of the station is more
than $4,000 miles, halfway aroun(
the earth. Previously the larges
French station was . that at Lyon
which works easily with New York

SWING CAMPAIGN
GOES ON DESPITE
NO OPPOSITE ION

| Despite the fact that B. w. Sinclair
| is now cut of the race and Judge
Swings candidacy will be uncontested
at the primaries the Swing campaign
continues unabated. This week the
judge and his managers are concen-
trating on San Diego county. The
back country and outlyig towns are
being visited and thoroughly canvassed
as beginning to the struggle for
election between Judge SWING and
dickson.
The republican state central COM
mittee has requested the Swing cam
paigners to go on as actively as
though the primary election was still
an issue. In complying with this re-
quest the judge and his supporters will
work to further the interests of the
republican party in the whole Eleventh
district.
Next week Judge Swing starts on a
campaign tour through the towns of
Riverside and San Bernardino coun-
ties, stopping at Oceanside and Fall
brook on his way from San Diego.
"If | am elected to represent the
Eleventh district in congress organized
labor can feel assured that it will have
a friend in Washington-a man who is
willing to do for it all that he con-
scientiously can and who will listen
with an open mind to the desires of
labor" said Judge Phil d. Swing, re-
publican candidate for congress at a
meeting at the San Diego labor temple
last night.
Judge Swing frankly stated, how
ever, that he is not prepared to en-
dorse the program of labor in its en-
tirety. "The principles of organized
labor can grow and be applied only so
fast as public opinion warrants. Labor
can force through a program which
will be like a hot house plant of rapid
growth but uncertain life. l realize
that organized labor has secured in
estimable benefits for all labbring men
but to secure lasting benefit, for labor
the leaders must work slowly and con-
servatively along the lines that will
not definitely antagonize public opin-
ion."
In the foregoing statement the judge
summed up his belief that the labor
organizations of the country will as
sist in meeting reconstruction prob
lens on basis of broad humanitar-
ianism that will insure justice to all
the people

b (Ry Associated Press)

PARIS, Aug. l1.--ln order to pre-
vent any commercial encroachment
upon Romagne cemetery, where $4,000
American soldiers are buried, the
French government has been asked by
the American Army Graves Legisla-
ton Service authorities to purchase
the gentle slope facing the front of
the cemetery, and the entire crest of
the hill occupied in part by the ceme-
terry, as well as plots at both sides.
The Romagne, Suresnes, and Bel
leau Woods cemeteries have been ap-
proved by the secretary of war as the
permanent resting places of more
than 10000 soldier dead who will
continue to sleep in French soil. Sur
esnes, which is on the slope of Mont
Valerieh, one of the forts built to
defend Paris, is already protected
against encroachment of any sort,
