seldom has more than four blooms,
while the other varieties often have
as high as seventy. 1t is this va
yiGty which is found in oriental
pgantings and literature. The herb

wealth Of bloom for the little time
expended on its cultivation, and
has a beautiful foliage, which
makes 1t splendid for use in home

beautiful when combined with
shrubs even after the flowers have
gone. 1t need not be disturbed

 JUST GLANCE HERE!
This Couple Had a Real 2Oth
 Century Festival

Bellamy, Ala, Sept. 9.-Ala bama is talking today about a most unusual wedding. The minister who started to tie the knot was in an airship which ashed into a tree; a blast from a siren at lumber plant announced the arrival of the wedding party at the altar; a thousand wedding guests were seated at a table in a frame church built for the ceremony and the ble was so long that those at one end could not hear speakers at the other. Those who didn't dance were entertained by motion pictuers.
 Miss Kathryn Allison, daughter of the president of the Allison Lum Der Co.,, was the bride, and Allen Grubbs Of Eutaw, was the groom. The Rev. II enry M. Edmonds of Birmingham, ,arted out to fly to the ceremony, but after the accident found himself un- able to reach Bellamy in time. Frank Willis Barnett, representing the Bir- mingham Age Herald, is an ordained minister, SO he stepped into the breach and performed the ceremony.
 It all happened last night and the guests said a pleasant time was had by all.

SHOE BANK LOOTED OF $2,OOO.
Greenwich Man Sent Footwear to be
 Shined, Forgetting Money.

Greenwich, Conn.,, ept 9.- David Boles, proprietor of a cafe on Lewis street, has reported to the police the loss of $2,000 which he believes was stolen from the toe of one of his shoes on Labor Day. Boles sent a pair of shoes to a bootblack to have them shined and forgot that he had secreted the money in bills of large denomina- tions in the toe of one of them.
 The shoes were returned but the money is missing. Ambrose Bo1es, a brother of David, was held up and robbed of a considerable sum some time ago. and it is said that Boles has since been afraid that he might be held up in a similar manner, and he used the toe of his shoe as a bank. The man who shined the shoes is be- lieved to be a resident of Stamford. The police are hunting for him.

GERMAN COMPROMISE
 WITH BAVARIANS
Settlement of Controversy Between Two Seems Likely, Following
 Conferences

Berlin, Sept. 9.-Settlement of the controversy between Bavaria and the central German government is believ- ed to be possible, following confer ences held here during the past few days. Representative of the Bavarian ca binet and of the coalition parties represented in the German ministry have talked matters over with Chan cellor Wirth and the chancellor is said to have offered the Munich min istry a compromise which is expected I to be acceptable.
 The trouble arose following the is suance of a decree by President Ebert conferring exceptional powers upon the German cabinet. The chan cellor employed this decree for SUD- pressing newspapers forbidding the wearing of uniforms and raising the state of siege in Bavaria. For a time it appeared that the difficulty would be most serious but an attitude of con- ciliation has been assumed on both sides. and it appears probable that an understanding will be reacred. It is not expected the Bavarian government will communicate it's final decision to Berlin before Saturday.
