Durand, H. Miss Eunice Dobson and
J. A. Dobson were the attendants. At
the close of the marriage rites the
bridal party returned to the home of the
brides parents where a tasty supper
was served. Mrs Randall is one of our
best girls of likable nature and in
dustrious, having for over three years
been in the employ of the Democrat.
Mr.. Randall is not a stranger to our
city, being in the employ of the M. P.
P. S. Co for the past two years, and we

KEEP AUTO TRAFFIC OFF DIRT
ROADS

The Highway Commission is sending
out request over the state, urging that
so far as possible all automobile traffic
be kept off dirt roads in general while
they are drying after the frost goes out
More harm can be done to such roads,
say the engineers of the Commission, in
in few hours than can be remedied in
as many months and besides travel
on dirt roads in such condition is injur
ious to automobiles. The engineers
recognize that it is not practicable to
suspend all traffic on dirt roads thruOut
the state for ten days or two weeks all
they ask is that so far az possible traffic
be held up.

To Dodge Pea Moth Plant Early
Varieties

"Plant only the earliest varieties of
seed peas and plant them as early as
possible if you would avoid the ravages
of the pea MOTH" is the warning
sounded by e. L. Fluke. of the eco
nomic entomology department of the
College of Agriculture.
"If the pea crop could be harvested
by July 20, there would be little dan
ger of injury. The pea moth usually
matches out about the middle of July
and in short time begins depositing
it's eggs on the green leaves and stems
of the pea plant. 1t requires only a
few days for the eggs to hatch out and
the larvae begin at once to eat their
way through the pods into the peas.
At this stage every day counts and a
great deal of damage can be done in a
very short PERIOD" declares Mr.. Fluke.
"Last summer the damage in some
fields in northern Wisconsin was only
from 3 to 5 per cent while in nearby
fields that were planted only a few
days, later, the damage was as high as
12 10 Is per cent.
