A wedding in which the people Of
this community will be greatly inter
ested took place at Spencer on Wed
nesday, Sept. 18th, when Mr.. James
Thompson and Miss Helen Lothen
took the vows that made them man
and wife for better or for worse until
death do them part, etc.
The young gentleman in this happy
event is the son of Henry Thompson
of Des Moines township and has
grown up IN that locality. He is a
clean, ambitious young man, an ex-
cellent farmer, high minded and full
of enterprise. The bride, Miss Lo-
then, is not as well known to US. She
is a relative of the Simonsons and
came to this locality from Wisconsin
as a school teacher and has success
fully taught the primary grade in
Des Moines Township for the past few
years. She is a charming lady, affable
and talented, and if she isn't a good
housekeeper and a fine home maker
there is a terrible deception some
where. She will be most cordially
welcomed to the community as a per-
manent citizen.
All their friends, and they are le-
gions, are happy in their happiness,
and congratulate, felicitate and jolly
them into life they know will be full
Of usefulness and noble purposes. The
ARROW" is happy to wish them joy,
long life and prosperity.
--Rolfe (Iowa) Arrow.
Helen Lofheu is the Oldest daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Lothen Of the
Town Of Jefferson. She has been q
successful teacher for nine years here
in Wisconsin and in Iowa. The Censor
and old friends extend congratula-
tons.

B. Brown Glenn, the Field Officer
Of the Missouri State Board of Agri,
culture, was in our city Saturday in
v~estibating the labelling and selling q
farm seeds, also live stock feeds ane
poultry feeds.
The Missouri seed law requires al
wholesale and retail dealers, ais'
farmers advertising farm seeds fol
sale, to correctly and completely labe
or tag each sale Of ten pounds o.
more, giving the following informa
ton, showing what is in the bag;
Name Of seed; percentage of pur
ity; percentage by weight Of wee,
seed; names Of nexious weeds; per
centage Of termination and date test
ed; name of state where grown; sell
er's name and address"
The Missouri feed law requires tina
each bag Of all live stock and poultr!
feeds (including corn chop, bran an
shorts) to be correctly labeled, show
ing what you are buying, as follows
name or brand Of feed; weight
name and address Of miller or chic
distributor; percentage of protein, fa
and fiber; name of each ingredient.
Mr.. Glenn says 'ebuy only legal,
labeled seed and feed-they cost n
more and you thereby get what your
paying for"
He also warns the farmers o
Audrain County against buying re-
clover seed labeled "where grown
unknown" since much undesirable re-
clover seed is coming in from South
ern Europe. Unknown tag does no
always mean sorrow, but unless tn
tag shows where grown you ar
taking a needless risk of buying un
acclimated seed.
