KENOSHANS WE'D
AT CROWN POINT
Miss Ruby Marie Rhode
and Charles R. Mclean
Married in Indiana.
KEEP WEDDING SECRET

Cupid divulged an interesting secret
this morning when it became known
in Kenosha that Miss Ruby Marie
Rhode, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Rhode of English Court, and
Charles A. Mclean, both well known
and popular young IEople in Kenosha,
were married in Crown Point, Indiana,
on Saturday afternoon, August 10th.
The couple had kept their secret well
and only on Sunday did the parents
of the bride learn Of the wedding.
Announcement Of the nuptials were
made this morning when Mr. and Mrs.
Mclean left Kenosha on the noon
train for their honeymoon trip to St.
Louis and to Clarksburg, Missouri,
the former home of the bridegroom.
On the tenth Of August Miss Rhode
and Mr.. Mclean left Kenosha for a
trip to Chicago. While there they
slipped across the Indiana line and
we're quietly married that afternoon
by the Rev. Ayling, minister of that
city, at the parsonage. They return
ed to Kenosha, Miss Rhode going to
the summer home of her parents at
Twin Lakes, where the family was
spending few weeks vacation.
!. A War Time Romance.
The romance which eliminated in
the elopement started in pre-war days
in Kenosha Mr. Mclean enlisted in
Troop E and marched away to war but
did not forget "the girl he left be-
hind him" After two years service
he returned to Kenosha and shortly
after that the engagement of the cou-
pie was announced. Their friends
and relatives, however, had not ex-
pected the wedding until later in the
year and for that reason the news of
the elopement came as real surprise
this morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mclean, after ten
days wedding trip, will return to Ke-
nosha to make their future home.
They have a legion of friends here to
wish them happiness.
Both Popular in KenOsha.
The bride is the oldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Rhode, 81 Eng
lish Court, an dis one of the most
attractive and popular young ladies of
the city. She was educated in the
schools of Kenosha and has taken
prominent part in the social life of the
younger people Of the city
The bridegroom, Charles A. Mclean,
came to Kenosha about four years
ago from his home in ClarkesburS.
Missouri, and since then has made
many friends in Kenosha. He grad
uated from the schools of that city
and later was graduated from the
University of Missouri. When war
was declared he enlisted in Troop E

resources.
Two-thirds of every ton of coal has gone up
into the air or into the dump.
Enormous volumes of natural gas have been
allowed to escape to the limits of an earth
atmosphere
Hundreds Of millions of barrels Of petroleum
have flowed over the ground in utter useless
ness.
And so all along the line.
Everywhere you hear Of steps being taken
to correct the wastefulness Thus, if conser-
walton becomes the rule hereafter with new
discoveries below the surface, there will be less
and less need of fear that the world will go
short of coal and gasoline in the not very dis
tant future
Canada doesn't propose to be a squeezed-out
orange like some sections of the United States.
During the last five years coal fields and petro-
leum deposits have been discovered in Alberta,
her northwest province, and already she is pass
ing laws against wasteful handling Of these
resources.
One of Canada's scientific Investigators re-
ports that "if the coal measures Of Alberta can
be carefully conserved and scientifically utilized,
and all the gas, oil and other by-products be
recovered to the best advantage, the whole
world can be supplied with fuel and oil, and for
thousand years. from Alberta fields alone. F"

WHAT is VALUE?

Smith and his wife determined that their
girl should have bicycle. Other girls had
them. 1t meant healthful exercise. It would
keep her out Of mischief. So they got one -
the kind the children approved of - and Smith
worked little harder to pay for it.
Then the girl grew up - she became IA -
and she did not use the bicycle, although it
was still in good condition. One day she made
up her mind to sell it. A friend would give ten
dollars a third Of what it had cost. The
parents agreed, and SO it was sold.
And the ten dollars? It took about three
minutes to get to the drug store and spend it
all for single bottle of perfume The tax was
extra but she had that charged
Smith gasped, but his wife did not, "The
child is growing up" she said "and she wants
to be like older girls. She has heard them talk
of this perfume, and if having it satisfies her
ambition, what better value could she get?
What better value do most people get 2"

HARDING,S SIGNATURE

The Nomad in the Boston Transcript.
 This reminds the Nomad that he has seen a letter with Senator Harding's signature written within the last week, and he can aver that it is one of the most illegible signatures he ever saw. The first name begins with "W" and might perhaps be regarded as ending with an "n," but the last name, which is run on to the first and the middle initial without any break, is a mere wave line. without the semblance of a letter in it. The signature might as well be smith," Jones" or "Cantacu- zeny" as Harding If MT. Harding wrote his editorials for the Marion Star in that hand, they must have been just as likely to come out democratic as re- publican, and bolshevist as Wall street." However, MT. Harding is prob- ably one of those who write ordinary matters legibly enough, but employ a mere hieroglyphic as a signature. Which is after all fairly popular proceeding.

 Ol LEEP at the right time is one of M mans foremost friends and bene- factors; at the wrong time it is a curse, for it comes as the paralyzing in cubus upon his hand and his mind when he should be broad awake and at his work.
 It is a solemn thing to think about, that if we average eight hours of every twenty-four in slumber we are in the land of nod for a third of our whole term on earth. At this rate the man who lives to the age of 50 has spent twenty years in bed.
 It has made some active spirits irate against nature and the established order that they should have to spend so much time unconsciouT and unproductive; the idleness has irked them, and, burning the candle at both ends in their defiance of phy ysiologicai laws, they have generally paid for it. The rule is that we rest, not that we may form habits of sloth and self-indulgence, but that we may find recreation and recuperation for the day that follows the night-the day that tests our mettle and urges to endeavor.

Because America suffered compara- lively little from the world war and because our people are in the main intelligent, prosperous and contented, bolshevik propaganda has made less headway in this country than it as abroad, but the least observant per son cannot deny that it exists and is at work.
 A few years ago the prediction that agents of such grotesque fig ures as Lenine and Trotzky would be spreading bolshevism among the na- tives of India, in Egypt, in Persia, in Arabia and in Turkey, as well as in Poland and Rumania, would have seemed absurd. Today. there is not a country in Europe or Asia, lnless it is Japan, that is not affected by bolshevik propaganda.

 Mark Twain and Robert Louis Steven son were two of no small number of writers who wrote in bed because of the comfortable relaxation and the secluson. The wits of neither were benumbed, and you could not call either of these prolific and successful authors lazy. But it does not follow that their mimic in respect to recumbent posture for authorship will succeed in copying their happy graces in the way of a literary style.
 The strong man seeks workroom, not resting place. He stays at work till his work is done. He trains him self-with an Edison--not to let himself sleep till he has tracked the shy idea he is hunting to it's lair. Men who have fol- lowed an engineering career afield-men who have fought a war-men who have sailed ship through a storm-can Git they wilD tell us how they have made sleep subservient to their own iron wills. They have done their duty and let the respite wait till the task was ended and the wage was earned.

OVERRIDING OUR pREJup1cEs

From the New York Evening Post.
 We fought to consolidate the free peoples and have bred a swarm of race prejudices and national antagonisms worthy of the dark ages, Stranded cockney sailors in lower New York are cuffed for their British accent. Visit ing Frenchmen hear their ation called names which we hope they do not un- derstand.
 It is all very sadA and more absurd, so much talk of glorious allies. part ners in freedom, hands across the sea, and such dark looks, sneers, contempt, suspicion. Thus Athens spoke of Sparta after the Persians had been defeated. Thus the Germans cursed the British after Waterloo. It is tragic and lit-, tie absurd when literature as never be- fore is busted in every tongue with the foreigner. Americans appear (some what jerkily) in French stories; Eng lishmen, Italians even Japanese, are the heroes of American stories; Hindus, New Englanders. Frenchmen are conn mon in British fiction.
 In the flesh we lift the nose and wrinkle the lip. In print we read about each other with keen and increasing sympathy. And literature is right. Race prejudice has it's functions. It tckles self-respect, helps to preserve morale. It is fundamental But so are a chEd's love of dirt and a grown mans vanity They need not be cherished as if they were rare virtues.
