Evanston. ILL.,, July 13-Prohibition

Vance S. Criss, secretary OF the
Springfield, Mo-. Association; "Prohi-
btion has been helpful to the commu-
nifty for the reason that the oncoming
generation has not had the access
to liquor that was had by young men
and boys Of four or five years ago
In other words there would seem to
be less opportunity by far for the
members of the next generation to
become addicted to the liquor hab

the downtown part of the city and
the booths will house such we'll
known attractions as the wild man,
the fat boy, the human skeleton and
similar sideshow freaks. These will
be operated by Legion members.
Preparations are being made to
have the greatest celebration on Arm

known. Visitors are invited from
every section of the state and particu-
larly from the four adjoining coun-
ties that have been carved from the
territory of old DeSoto. The Legion

cations are united in plans for the
observance and nothing will be left

DEDICATION OF SCHOOL Is
SET FOR ARNIISTTCE DAY
VIII BE Part of Celebration by Ar
cadia Legion and Red Cross
Other Events Planned

Arrangements in part for the pro-
gram for Armistice day, November
II, were made Tuesday night by
Armistice Day committee of the Ar
cadia Legion post at a meeting in
Legion headquarters.
1t was announced that the Arcadia
Red Cross chapter would serve dinner
on Armistice day to every former
soldier in the territory comprised in
old DeSoto county. The day is to be
a home coming for these men, as well
as a celebration of the date of the
wars end. Every man from old De-
Soto county who served under the |
colors is to be a guest of the Arcadia |
Legion post and of the city. 1t is
expected to be a great reunion of
"buddies," many of whom probably
have not met since they were muster
ed out of service.
There will be speakers, prominent
men being scheduled for talks. 1t is
hoped to get State Superintendent of
Education Cawthorn and Representa-
tive Herbert J. Drane to come to Ar
cadia for that day. Invitations to
these men and to others are to be
extended by the committee.
One of the features in the days
celebration will be dedication cere-
monies at the new grammar school,
which has been designated as the
Memorial Grammar school. 1t is be-
lieved the tablet bearing the names
of DeSoto county soldiers who died in
the war, and which is to be placed

in the school, will be ready by that
time.
Athletics will have a prominent
place on the program for the day.
While all arrangements are not COM
pleted and there are many details to
be adjusted, it has been definitely de-
cided that there will be open air
wrestling bouts, a field and track
meet and other events. Football in
the afternoon, between the Bulldogs
and the Fort Myers team, will be the
main entertainment feature in the
athletic line. Plans are being made
to have wrestling experts here and
volunteer opponents will be sought
among the visitors. A street dance
and fireworks display have been de-
cided upon for the evening entertain
ment.
Bands will be employed and there
will be plenty of music all day and
throughout the evening.

CAR PRICES ARE REDUCED
Demand Swamps Production With
Consequent Lowering of Cost
of Making

Another drastic cut in the prices of
Willys-Knight and Overland automo-
biles is being announced in this
weeks Herald by the local agent, J.
f. Skipper, the reason given for the
reduction in price being that quantity
production has made possible the pro-
ductiOn of these cars at lower prices
and the saving is being passed on TO
the consumer. The factory produc-
tion has already far exceeded the
years schedule, and July and August
were the biggest months in the his
tory of the Willys-Overland Company.
The new price of the fve-passen-
ger Willys-Knight touring car is ST.
2S5. 1t sold for S1,525 in the spring
and more recently at $1,375. Other
models are reduced proportionately.
The Overland touring car is re-
duced to $525 and the roadster the
same from their former price of
$3.50. The coupe is reduced from
$3.50 to $795 and the sedan from
$685. to 1915.

WERE THEY MARRIEDo
Much Interest in Reported Marriage
i'm Macon, Georgia

Mrs. J. T. Rose received Wednes-
day, the following night-letter (teIe-
!gram) from her son, Lamar Rose.
dated Macon, Georgia, Tuesday: ,-
Am planning to be married to-
morrow. Have l got yours and dads
consent? Wire Immediately"
At the same time, Mrs. Rose redeiv-
ed this telegram from Mrs. Pearl
'P. Baldwin, dated Forsyth, Georgia.
Wednesday:
They are to be married in Macon
this afternoon"
That is all. The intended brides
name was not mentioned, but it is
understood that she is Mrs. Baldwin, g
attractive and accomplished daugh-
ter. Miss Hazel Baldwin, to whom
Lamar has been openly devoted for
some two years past. She and her
mother, accompanied by Lamar. went
TO Forsyth about three weeks ago.
and it was understood that she would
enter a noted finishing school there.
while Lamar would 90 to the Florida
university and continue his course in
law.
1t is to be noted that Lamar wired
for his parents consent, but as his
father was and is on the fishing
grounds south of here, it is not likely
that his consent can be obtained be-
fore his return, which may be tomor-
row Saturday.. For this reason, it
is possible that the marriage was
postponed. But the many friends of
the couple feel sure that, if it has not
occurred, ii will take place
in very few days. Meantime, it is
proper to say that Miss Baldwin, as is
well known, is the only child of her
mother. She is a granddaughter of
the late Captain Charles G. Davis.
She was born and raised here: and
because of her winsome disposition
and many accomplishments, is gem
eral favorite in this community.
Larmar Rose was also born and
raised here and enjoys the warm es-
TEEN of large circle of friends, who
him on having won such
a treasure. He is known for his high |
character, his energy and devotion to |
duty, and his many friends are sure |
that he will prove in all respects |
worthy of the life's blessing which he |
mas won.
