Bride Too Young; Gets Another.

Jesse Nimmons, young negro, ap-
piled to the Clerk of the Corporation
Court at Danville, Va, for marriage
license to wed Ellen Miller. 1t de-
veloped that the girl was minor and
her parents dead. AS she had nc
legal guardian the negro was told he
must secure the assent of the Judge
of the Corporation Court. Nimmons
shuffled upstairs to where court was
in session, and finding court busy, he
returned, telling the clerk that he did
not want to interrupt the court.
81 dom care about marryin' that yal-
Ter gal, nohow," exclaimed the bride
groom elect.
eff it's all de same to you, boss,

in Louisville, Ky. Shepherd was an
employee of the Baltimore and ONO
Railroad. Because Of this fast the
Daughters OF the Confcderacy accid-
ed that it would be appropriate to To-
cate the memorial on the compaays
property there. 1t had not been aniIc-
ipated that any objection would DC
raised, but President Daniel willard,
of the railroad, wrote to the commit
tee that his company objected TO !ocat-
ing the memorial on company property
as il was feared it might arouse racial
feeling in the community.

ton VIII be held in the city of Charles
ton, November 10, II and Is, 1922
The program has been completed and
plans are we'll under way at Charles.
ton for the entertainment of this bic
annual meeting.
The executive committee has been
unusually fortunate to secure able
talent for This program. The PRINCIPAL
out-of-State speakers are DR.. W. b
Owen, president of the National Ed.
ucation Association, Chicago; State
Superintendent OF Schools George =.
Colvin, OF Kentucky; Dr. Fred w. Ma.
roney, director of physical education,
Atlantic City; and Hon. William
Mather Lewis, u. S. Chamber of Com
merce, Washington. Among the State
speakers who will be on the program
are the Governor OF the State, Hon.
E. F. Morgan; State Superintendent
OF Schools, Captain George NJ. Ford
State Tax Commissioner Walter S.
Hallanan. On the sectional programs
there will be speakers from the schools
in almost all the large towns and cities
in the State. The general theme is
Educational Opportunities For Ali"
around which all discussions Viii cen
ter.
All railroads in West Virginia have
granted reduced rates for tickets and
one and one-half fare for round trip.
These tickets may be purchased on
the presentation of Identification GER
tiicateS, that may be had from county
superintendent or secretary of the AS
ISOLATION, w. w. Trent, Elkns.
In addition to the general program
at Charleston, there will be many
school banquets, dinners and social
hours. A most excellent display of
work done in Charleston schools will
be on exhibit in the Scottish Rite
Cathedral, where some of the general
sessions will be held. An unusual
display of school supplies and school
furniture will be exhibited by COM
panies furnishing these articles. 1t is
expected that teachers will profit not
only by this exhibition Of work done
in the Charleston schools, but also by
the commercial exhibits. Teachers
will see on display, school books,
desks, writing material, pencils.
erasers, motion picture machines, and
various other things of interest to
school workers.
The enrolment thus far in the State
Education Association for the year
1929 is unusually large. Reports
from various counties indicate that the
enrolment this year will be 100 per
cent on many cities and counties. The
indications are that the attendance at
Charleston will be unusually large.
The subject is attractive, the speakers
talented, and the meeting place is de-
sirable. All expecting to will do we'll
to enroll early, secure certificate for
reduced railroad rates and make room

Let Us Make the Roads Safe.

iSt u MAKE the Roads Safe.
1t is disquieting TO learn that dur
ing the first three months of the "care-
iu' crossing" campaign that the Nat
ional Safety Council has been carrying
on through the newspapers, the mail
and the advertising boards the num-
Der OF automobile accidents on rail
way grade crossings actually increaS-
ed by thirty per cent over the same
three months of last year Although
the Pennsylvania Railroad did not lose
a single passenger last year. its trains
killed tifty-SiN persons who drove on
the tracks in automobiles. Judging
from the returns received from the
thirty-four States where death Stats
tics are carefully kept, there must have
been nearly twelve hundred persons
killed in automobile accidents in 1920,
and probably ten times rs many in
iured. This year the number will be
greater.
The extraordinary increase in the
number of motor cars adds steadily
TO the dangers of the ld. On pleas
ant days, especially the weekend,
the principal road c so crowded
with automobiles II inexperienced
or panicky drivers almost sure to
get into trouble. the other end of
the line there are drivers so confident
of their skill and so proud of their
ability to get out Of tight places that
they become reckless of danger and
regardless OF the r;"h'S or the safety
of others.
A railway train is by necessity con-
fined to a single line of track on which
except at occasional crossings no one
has any right to be. We are, how
ever, exceedingly careful to test the
nerves, the eyesight, the caution and
the self-possession Of the locomotive
engineer by repeated examinations.
But we are not yet strict enough in our
examination of automobile drivers. In
many States the tests are perfunct"ry
in none are they severe. There are
thousands of persons driving powerful
cars along roads crowded with other
vehicles and across dangerous rail
way crossings who, by reason of de-
fects in eyesight, nearing, judgment
or nerve, are continually imperilinl
and often destroying the lives OF them,
selves and Of those they meet.
Neither, when a man has been prov
ed reckless and lawless on the road
are we quick enough or relentless
enough to deprive him permanently o.
his license. The problem is a new
one. Never until lately have we hal
to deal with vehicles weighing tons
and capable of railway speed on public
highways. We are still too mindful o.
the public character of the roads; we
hesitate to bar anyone from using
them. But the new state of affairs
must be faced. Our highway boards
must have the authority to keep care
less, reckless or nervously timid peo-
ple out of the drivers seat in the pres
ent-day motor car; and, having it, they
must use it. Otherwise the roads will
become unsafe for anyone.

Three of the great Eastern unvcr-
sites, Yale, Princeton and Harvard,
have through their presidents agreed
on some very important restrictions
on intercollege athletics. The new
rules forbid any student who has ever
played on an athletic team in any other
college from representing either Of
the three universities in athletic games.
They prohibit post-season or sectional
games; they oblge sclf-surporting stu
dents who take part in athletics to
convince the authorities that no one
is paying the whole or part of their
expenses to keep them on the team
They make any boy who has received
money or its equivalent for athletic
prowess ineligible to represent the col
lege in any sport. The faculties are
indefatigable in their pursuit of the
tramp" athlete and the semi-profes-
sional; none have ever gone quite so
far, or spoken with so determined voice
as this.

Free Chest Clinic

That the Free Chest Clinic, which
opens at the Armory Friday morning,
will have large attendance is indi-
Gated by the interest being manifest
ed in both Pierce and St. Croix. coun-
ties. Patients will be taken in turn
and it is urged that everyone who
wishes to be examined register as
early in the day as possible, as at re-
cent clinics held by the Wisconsin An
ti-Tuberculosis Association it has
been necessary to turn away many
people without examination because
of lack of time. The clinic hours are
from 8 a. m. to p. m. Friday and
Saturday, May 26 and 81.
Local workers have been assisted
this week in the preliminary work for
the clinic by Miss Marguerite Breen,
organizer for the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association, which is
conducting the clinic. Talks on Tub
erculosis, it's Prevention and Cure
were given in the High school, grad
es and Normal school by Miss Breel
as part of the advance work.
While the clinic is free to all who
wish to be examined, the following
are especially urged to take advan-
tage of this opportunity: All persons
who have been exposed to tubercul-
osis for prolonged period, especially
members of families where there is
or has been a known case of the d.
sease; anaemic and underweight
children; ex-service men pronounced
tuberculous and men rejected in the
draft for this reason; persons who
have had pneumonia, bronchitis, in
fluenza and pleurisy and have not
completely recovered; persons having
any symptoms of tuberculosis. Al
children of 16 or under must be ac-
companied by an adult.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
BANQUET

The Mother and Daughter banquet
on last Wednesday evening at the
Congregational church, proves to be
one of the best things ever undertaken
for the ladies of this city. Had the
weather man been mother or daugh-
ter, she would probably have ordered
a different brand of weather for the
occasion. But Notwithstanding a
pouring rain, there were 260 places
taken when we were finally assembl-
ed in the dining room.
The ladies gathered in the parlors
for social hour and all forgot the
weather outside in the pleasure of
meeting old friends, renewing old ac-
quaintances, and, if necessary, form
ing new family ties in order to be
eligible in this particular form of en-
tertainment.
The most interesting feature of the
occasion was the fact that there were
several groups with more than two
generations. When supper was an
nounced we were led to the dining
room by group of four generations
Mrs. Elmira Powell and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Elbridge Currier, her grand
daughter, Mrs. VIM. Allen, and her
Observation-Disclosures, little Margaret
Allen. Next came two groups with
three generations-Mrs Cotton Whit
comb with two daughters, Mrs. Wal
ter Sutherland and Mrs. Harry Camp
bell, with their daughters, Helen
Sutherland and Virginia Campbell.
One other group was made up of Mrs
Ida TAFT, her daughter, Mrs. Alex
Campbell, and granddaughter, Isa-
belle Campbell. There would have
been many more groups of three gen.
erations had we included grand
daughters under IL years of age.
Another pleasing feature was the
presence of so many of the older
friends-Mrs. c. D. Parker who is 80
years young" Mrs. Sarah Deans,
who is we'll over 80, and a large
group who have passed the bible mark
of three score years and ten.
At 7 o'clock we were called to the
dining room and when all were in
place, we stood for moment with
bowed heads, while Mrs. B. H. Cheney
returned thanks to the Giver of all
good. The supper that followed gave
the housekeepers a chance to enjoy
each others cooking and was APP

THE CHARM SCHOOL
Tlne--now
SYnonSiS

Time-now
Synopsis
Five boys are living in bachelor
quarters in New York. The, hard
times and the conspiracy of old age
to keep the young man down." have
combined against them.
An inheritance of girls boarding
school by one of the boys gives them
all job, and likewise gives Austin,
the young owner and principal, a
chance to try out his schemes for the
proper education of girls.
Austin feels that modern education
is neglecting the big essential in the
training of girls-that of teaching
them charm.
A Mr.. Johns, soured by an unfor-
tunate love affair, holds a mortgage
on the school, but promises not to
foreclose unless some one in the
school falls in love with the young
principal.
The efforts of Austin to avoid this
catastrophe and the development of
his ideas on education make plot
which furnishes many amusing touch
es.
Of course Charm finally wins, but
in a way unsupported by the YOUTH
full promoter of the scheme.
Have you bought your ticket to
the Charm SCHOOL,"
Do you know that every cent taken
in for this play is to be turned over
by the Senior class to promote school
activities next year?
The sixteen members of the Senior
play cast motored to St. Paul to see
the Charm School" presented by a
High School there. They enjoyed the
play, and discovered that it was one
which certainly takes an audience.
At the Normal Auditorium, Friday
evening, May 26.

they took care of the large number OF

fifty went over from River Falls. and
there were representatives from Ellis
worth and other parts of the county,
One striking feature of the afternoon
meeting was the large proportion of
boys and young men in the audience.

ANGLERS SAVE MIRED HORSE

While fishing in the Kinnickinnic,
on the Stockdale farm the first of
the week Frank Symes and Ray En-
sign found horse firmly mired in a
slough near the river bank.
The horse had been in the mud for
some time, and was completely ex-
hausted from its frantic efforts to get
free. When discovered only it's head
and back were above the surface, and
the animal was unable to make a
move.
Messrs. Symes and Ensign secured
a shovel and ropes and after few
minutes strenuous work, had the
horse free.
The horse, which belongs to Hans
Nelson, was pretty stiff after its re-
lease, but seemed to suffer no per-
manent injury.

preciated by all.
AS this evening had been planned
by the Friendship class of the Sun.
day School, it was fitting that the
teacher, Mrs. Thrush, should have
charge of the program that followed.
After few humorous remarks about
the reason for the gathering, she in
troduced Miss Vidle Tubbs, who gave
fine toast and appreciation in be-
half of the daughters to the mothers.
This was responded to by Mrs. Cotton
Wh;tcomb for the mothers in graceful
acknowledgement of the tributes paid
and of the close bond that should
exist between mother and daughters.
Miss Pauline Norseng then gave a
piano solo that was appreciated by
all, for Pauline is one of the musical
favorites of the city. Mrs. Skogmo
sang a solo and it does not need to
be said that she charmed us all; she
always does. Mrs. Ensign followed
with a short talk on the origin of
Mothers Day and the various phases
that are an outgrowth. Mrs. Ames
sang a solo, especially appropriate to
the occasion, and made us all wish we
might hear her more often.
We then rose and sang BLESSED be
the Tie that Binds" after which we
dispersed, feeling that this should
be made a precedent for an annual
affair of the kind.
