dings took place last Sunday morning
at 9 80 o'clock when Miss Ella Gala
han was united in marriage to Mr..
Lee COrder at the Methodist church.
The bride was led to the altar by her
father, where she was awaited by the
groom. Before a bank of honeysuckle
and beautiful flowers. Brother JOne-
son of Fredonia, spoke the ring cere-
mOny that made them husband and
wife. The bride was charmingiy

wore a bridal veil. She carried a
bridal wreath of white roses. Her
sister, Miss Jennie Lee Callahan, act
ed as bridesmaid. Mr.. Harold Great
house was best man to the groom.
Mrs. Ally played the wedding march.
These two young people are among
Coyville's most popular folks. The
bride was born near Fall River, but
since her childhood she has lived in
and near Coyville. She was a gradu-
ate of the Fredonia high school in the
year 1919 and was the valedictorian
of her class. In the spring of 1922
she graduated from the Fort Hays
Normal school, much of her work hav-
ing been done by correspondence For
the past three years she has been a
teacher in the Coyville city schools.
She is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M.
Callahan of Coyville. The groom is a
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Corder and
has been raised in Sheridan county,
Kansas, near the town of Quinter. He
graduate dfrom the Fort Hays acad-
emy in the spring of 1918 and from
the normal in the year 1921. For the
past year he has been principal of the
Coyville high school.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Corder have
lovely characters and are very highly
esteemed in their community. Both
are members Of the Methodist church,
and are enthusiasts for things that
count for the welfare of the commun-
ity. Mr.. Corder has purchased a fine
home in CoyviHe and is having it
newly furnished, at which place the
happy couple will be at home after
August 80. They left by automobile,
Immediately after the service, on a
wedding tour to Kansas City and ST..
Louis. A large number of friends at
tended the service at the church and
Mr.. and Mrs. -Corder were the recipi-
ents of many wedding gifts.-Fre-

But 1 am agin it for believe all the
money they get viii be spent for
fOOlishnes and for carrying on.
Bill.-Yes, in Ohio out of the
money paid out there only one-half
of one per cent.
Miss Doe.-Sure thing Jim won't.
And Frank won't either. He lives on
your eighty. He went overseas and
served over $50 days. He had just
got started farming when the draft
came. At the sale everything went
cheap and your boy who was exempt
ed bought nearly everything he had.
Look where he is at today. Frank had
to buy everything new in 1919 at a
big price. You, gentlemen, are sure
that if this carries today that Jim and
Frank will get their money early in
1928 and that the 80 cents will not
have to be paid until in November
1928?
Bill.-The chances are ten to one
that it will never cost more than 25c
on an average.
Election Judge amt saying to
you fellers, but that girl that just
just stepped out knows too much
about Frank. I dare say, boys,
Frank is a fine fellow but he isn't
getting anywhere. He has owed me
$35O.0O ever since he got back from
the army. If he get s$75O.OO maybe
he will pay some. Can't expect all
for the hardware store and the bank
is after him early and late and then
he hasn't had a suit of clothes for
nearly two years.
Bill.-Shake, old man. knew you
would get around some time. You
will be meeting Frank every day in
March for three weeks. You will not
have to pay the 39c on your $4,000
until in November 1928.

EzIE REAL PRICE BoosTER

The really significant point brought
out by the controversy that has been
going on between United States Sen
atOrs and the importing interests, Is
that a Democratic Free Trade Tariff
actually is price booster. The Demo
cratic Tariff advocates have always
imputed that to a republican Protect
i've Tariff.
This point is, as the st. Louis
Times has noted, of vital interest to
every citizen. 1t has been clearly
demonstrated that as soon as Amer
lean manufacturing can be stopped
by flood of cheap imports competing
with home products, the foreign com
modities will rise in price to what
ever level their makers desire to set.
The ultimate consumer, of course, is
the goat.
"The safe way, the patriotic way
and the honest way" says the Times,
sis to safeguard the home market.
That means to make it possible for
everything which can be produced at
home to be made and marketed at q
proper profit" The Times notes that
when we mi.de certain that home
trade would have a sure market, there
was resultant prosperity and every
body shared in it.
If prices can run wild with un-
hindered cheaply made foreign i'm
portations, there is one thing that can
tame them and bring them down to
reasonable level. That is the opera
ton 70 American mills and factories.
These cannot operate and turn out
goods to be sold at fair instead Of
an unconscionable profit as we have
seen reaped by the importing inter
ests SO long as we allow the cheap for
eign goods to flow into this country
without let or hindrance.
AS for the charge that a Repub-
hcan Protective Tariff will raise the
price of goods here, how can those
prices go beyond the point Of Pro
lection, that is, the point at which the.
foreign goods are placed on a Compel
tive basis with home products? Ger
tainly with the imports ready to flow
in at and above that point, American
manufacturers could have no chance
to charge 100 to 5000 per cent profit
sthe importing interests have been
doing under low Democratic Tariff.

OBITUARY

"God be with you till we meet
again" was the concluding solo by
Miss Lucy Hoke. There were not
many present at the funeral of Fred
erick Lisser, outside of the Masonic
Lodge of which deceased was a mem
Der. Reverend H. M. Snyder, pastor
of the Lutheran Church, read the
Goth Psalm. He then made some re-
marks based on the text ''The Vine
and the Branches" The deceased
was a stranger in our midst and
known only to very few, yet he must
have lived so in harmony with truth
and honor or the few neighbors would
not have remembered him this day
so kindly.
Frederick Lisser was a native of
Althagen, Germany, and was born
over eighty-two years ago. While a
young man he came to this country,
stayed a short time and returned to
Germany, but in 1870 he came again.
About thirty years ago he settled at
Mound Ridge, Kansas. 1t was told
that his occupation was that of a
store clerk. Once he was postmaster
at some place in Mcpherson county.
While in Mound Ridge, he became a
member of the Masonic Lodge No.
346 and which membership he kept
up to the last.
In 1913, he settled on a quarter
south of WaKeeney. Received patent
in 1918. He traded the quarter off
for some Yocemento lots and later
traded and got little house and lot
| east of the laundry.
He had been ailing for some time,
but a week ago Sunday, he became
seriously i'll and was removed to the
hospital where the local Masonic
body provided him with the tenderest
care. He passed away Sunday night
August 10th.
Over forty years ago he was mar
ried but his wife died a year and a
half after their wedding. They had
no children. 1t is not known if he
| had any relatives in this country.

cHRIsTIAN PEDERsoN

Christian Peterson was born in
Denmark, October &c, 1852. He came
to America in 1880. After some time
spent N Iowa, he came to Hays and
in 1884, located on a farm northwest
of town. On March %, 1901, he
married Miss Anna Jensina Nelson.
To this union ten children were born,
all of whom are living. On January
8, 1911, he united with Trinity Luth-
eran Church. Besides his wife and
children, he leaves to mourn his loss,
three brothers and one sister-two
brothers in America, and one brother
and one sister in Denmark. After
brief illness he died at st. Anthony's
Hospital, August %, 1922. Funeral
services were held at Trinity Luth-
eran Church, Wednesday, August 80,
at 200 p. m. Sermon by the pastor,
Rev. H. M. Snyder, assisted by DR..
West. Burial at Mt. Allen Cemetery.
With Mr.. Pederson's death, we
lose one of the early settlers of Ellis
county; one of the men who came
here without very much or any means
but who had an abundance Of faith
in the country and who made a sue
cess of tiIling the soil. He was never
at loss what to do but was always
busy in making his place better. Only
a few days ago, when others were
complaining, he remarked that this
was one of the best years he had had
in Kansas and he had seen many of
them. He was blessed with a rugged
constitution. His throat trouble did
not worry him and he kept on work
ing until last Thursday or Friday. On
Saturday, he reluctantly yielded to
the advice of his physician and of
friends. His suffering was intense
but to the last he was patient and
hopeful.

PUBLIC ALWAYS PAYs

Let no one deceive himself into
thinking that we-that is, everybody
will not be required to pay the
price of the present suspension and
disorganization in industry. 1t is in
evitable that we will be compelled to
pay to- the last cent. The price will
be discovered in the higher cost of
everything that is essential to life-in
food, in fuel, in clothing, and in
other things. What hope there has
been of lower prices is being rapidly
dissipated by the strikes now in pro-
gress.-Sioux City Journal.

final tax-paying day, and if you have
not paid your taxes, the property will
be sold for taxes and will be drawing
1870 interest. On that same day, if
you were on that Final redemption
tax list, if you haven't paid up and
redeemed your property, your place
will be decided to the county, and the
next day anybody can buy it by pay
ing the taxes. The county and city
and school districts need the money
due, so better step up to the Treas
urer's office and pay up quick and
save lots of expenses that go on the
next day after sale. A number Of
parties having spare money are ready
to buy some of the properties Of the
county and draw the big interest the
law allows on tax sales.

''VOSS7''
(By NJ. H. j.

Uncle John Mckinney, ninety
years of age when he crossed over,
was a man of some wealth, and while
he was not particularly mean about
it, he knew how to take care of his
pennies.
He sat down to dinner one day,
and, as he glanced over the table, ex-
claimed, ''What, Nanny! two kinds
of sauce?"
Now Aunt Mary was an excellent
housekeeper, and a very intelligent
wife and mother of a highly respect
e1 family, and withal, very discern
ing and in the course of many years
association had fathomed the whims
of Uncle John and knew how to
stroke the fur the right way; she
avoided alteration over small matters
and promptly quieted pater familias
by assisting him to a generous portion
of his favorite dish.

The Duke of Wellington, years be-
fore he was made a duke by his fam
Gus victory at Waterloo, had cam
paigned for years on the Spanish
peninsula in those interminable con-
tinental wars, which began about
nothing and ended nowhere-incon-
sequential military service that set
tied nothing, uniformly stale, fiat and
of no earthly good to anybody. The
soldiers of his army were tired of the
job and almost hopeless of ever see
ing their native shores again. It was
in the old days Of long enlistments,
trifing pay and the soldiers lot a
veritable slavery.
The edge was worn off that army.
What could reasonably be expected
of those soldiers?
They became at times veritably
mutinOus.
The General was not destitute of
common sense; he bore their infrac-
tions of the service patiently; but at
length, pierced to the quick by the de-
mands of the people upon whom the
soldiers were billeted for restitution
of the many wrongs they had suffer
ed, he summoned the army to his
Headquarters, where, massed in close
column by divisions, he stood before
them and recited the crimes charged
against them and closed his speech
with this sledge hammer arraignment
"You are thieves, ravishers, and
nameless everything but
cowardsp' At that pronouncement
a mighty shout of applause went uI
and that sudden incOngruous ere
versal of arms" so nOnplussed the ole
general that he turned on his heel
and went into his headquarters, with
out another word.
