Couple in England, Friends
Are RetiCent Concern
ing Marriage

LONDON, April 1S.-Beports are
current here that Mathilde McCor
mick. the American multi millionaire,
has been married to Major Max Oser,
former proprietor of a livery stable in
Zurich.
Friends of Miss Mccormick. who
is the granddaughter of john -.
Rockefeller, evaded all questions by
stating that neither Oser nor Ma
thilde is now in London. The rumors
which have spread about London say
that the pair were wed somewhere
in England" within the last few days.
The youthful heiress has been in
Switzerland for several months. visit
ing Oser. Because of the widespread
publicity at the time the girl an
nounced her engagement to Oser,
their movements have been carefully
guarded for some time.
Mathilde went to Europe with her
father shortly after her mother,
Edith Rockefeller Mccormick, di-
yorced him. Mccormick shortly after
Ihis daughter left Paris for SWitzer-
Pland, was united in marriage with
Gamma Walska. the Polish grand
opera star.
Falls in Love.
Rockefeller's granddaughter met
Oser over year ago while she was
spending a vacation in Switzerland.
She fell in love with him, she after
ward declared. while he was giving
her instructions at his riding academy
in Zurich.
Mathilde's mother is known to be
opposed to match between her
daughter and Oser. Shortly after she
received the divorce in Chicago from
her husband she asked the courts for
an injunction to prevent Oser and
Mathilde marrying until she became
of age. At that time she branded
Oser as a fortune hunter" without
adequate funds to support her daugh-
ter in the manner to which she had
been accustomed.
MATHILDE REACHES is.
The court. however. ruled that it
had no jurisdiction over the EC>>t
affairs of Mathilde. 1t was later re-
ported that Mccormick had agreed
with his former wife that their
daughter would not marry until she
became of age. Mathilde has just
reached Is.
Mrs. Mccormick, undoubtedly, was
expressing the views of her father,
John d. when she attempted to pre-
vent the match. Rockefeller once
stated publicly that he was opposed
to international marriages.
1t is likely that Oser and Mathilde
will go to the United States to live
if they really nave been married.
Reports from Switzerland state
that the two left that country some
time ago and went to England to be
married. They were not wed in Switz-
erland. it was explained, because
there is quite a bit of red tape con-
nected with an international mar
riage.
Oser is thrice the age of Mathilde.

where the thermometers register 112
degrees in the shade most of the
summer, which produces very little
more than our Montana irrigated
farms where it is a pleasure to own

Their.
The Milk river project lies right
along the Great Northern railway
which brings every irrigated farm
within six miles of a shipping point.
Alfalfa grows in abundance and from
four to five tons per acre are pro-
duced each year. The production of
certified Grimm alfalfa seed has be-
come a speciality. Last year this seed
was sold for so cents per pound by
the growers because the purchaser
was guaranteed an absolutely pure
product. Farmers are slowly begin

are the sure and reliable road to
success on these irrigated farms.
