The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1922-06-08

have set up a little communistic gov
ernment all of their own, a soviet so
as to speak, as the result of matri-
monIal adventures eliminating in the
last two weeks.
In a rambling old home at POI West
Seventh street, up lane and around
devious road that leads from Union
street, the joint menage has been set
up, with pot luck as the dominating
feature of the arrangement. The male
principals of the arrangement are
Hugh Davey, Chesterfeldean printer,
whose avocation is swimming, and
Kenneth l.. Hicks, news reporter,
whose writings in the course of year
bring joy or woe to every person in
The Dalles and .half the residents of
the county, according to his interpre-
tation of the "story" to be covered.
Davey started things three weeks
ago when he went to Portland for a
24-hour honeymoon after marrying
Miss Verna Smith. Returning with
his bride, they set up their domicile in
| the Seventh street dwelling. Saturday
afternoon Hicks threatened County
Clerk Crichton into silence and then
procured a marriage license. The other
name on the contract was that of Miss
Winifred Woelk. Hicks stole down to
Portland early Sunday morning and
met Miss Woelk, who had been at the
home of her parents for several weeks.
They were married at o'clock yes
terday afternoon by Rev. S. Earl Du-
Bois, of the Church of the Strangers.
A few Portland friends of the couple
attended the ceremony.
Last night they returned to The
Dalles and took up their abode in the
other half of the Seventh street house.
Here they will share $3.50 all around,
with common table and a common
grocery bill, common payment of the
rent, common front porch. common
garden and a common lawn. Hicks
owning the automobile, this vehicle
will be thrown into the communal es-
tablishment, he admitted today.
The ewhole transaction, by the way,
amounts in the long run only to a re-
versal of mates. Hicks and Davey
cast their fortunes together last sum-
mer and lived more or less harmonious
ly as companions in the Court apart
ments.
The girls who are now brides like
wise shared apartments. The arrange
ment is the same today with the ex-
ception that the deck has been shuffled.
Both girls are graduate nurses, hav-
ing finished courses at The Dalles hos
pital two years ago, and according to
DR.. Fred Thompson, who is head of
the hospital school, "darn good"
nurses. How effective their ministra-
tions may be towards their spouses re-
mains to be determined by the fellow
sufferers of the latter in the Chronicle
office.-The Dalles Chronicle.
