WEDDING EXCITES
english SOCIETY
Who Will Be Bridesmaids at Duke
Of York's Ceremony?

London. March 9,--The women who
are to be invited to the wedding OF the
Duke Of York and Lady Elizabeth
Bowcs-Lyon are perhaps most con-
cerned with deciding what TO wear.
but millions of other women in Eng
land and elsewhere are just now more
interested in guessing who will be
named as bridesmaids.
So far no names have been an
nounced, but those on the outside
hear from those on the alleged inside
that there will be eight of them, in
GLIDING three princesses. Two of these
princesses, Maud, younger daughter
Of the Princess Royal. and Lady Mary
Cambridge. neice of the queen were
bridesmaids at the wedding Of Prin-
cess Mary last year. Lady May Cam
bridge, the 16 year old daughter Of
the Earl and Countess Of Athlone, will
be the third princess to attend the
bride. Another of Princess Mary's
bridesmaids Lady Doris Gordon-Len-
nox, so the ,gossips say, will also be
In the wedding party at the coming
royal nuptials.
Among the other young women of
the aristocracy who. one hears. will
be similarly honored, are to be at
least two daughters of Scottish peers.
Lady Mary Fox Strangeways and
Lady Katherine Hamilton, daughter
Of the Duke of Abercorn, also are
mentioned as likely selections.
Pending official announcement of
the wedding program, wave of adj
vance reports sweeps daily through
drawing rooms and tea shops. Those
takers have it there will be no "best
man." but the three brothers of the
royal bridegroom will attend him as
his supporters" The ceremony will
take place in Westminster Abbey, the
Archbishop of Canterbury officiating,
assisted by the Bishop of London. The
reception probably will be at Buck
ingham Palace.
Any number of landed aristocrats
have placed their country estates at
the disposal Of the Duke OF York and
his fiancee for their honeymoon, no
plans for which have yet been an
nonnced. The gossips say these prof
fers are meager compared to the we'd
ding present which Earl Farquhar
contemplates making. 1t is said he
will handover his beautiful home,
White Lodge, Richmond. for the use
OF the Duke and his bride, and will
erdow the place sufficiently to main
tain it. If this is done, the problem of
finding place to live-a big one |
when one is a prince and has to live |
up to it even if his pocket-book is |
have been sweetly solved. |

ANOTHER finn COLONY
TO SETTLE IN GEORGIA
Plans are Completed to Bring Ad-
ditional Group of settlers
10 State.

Jesup. Ca, March 9.-rThe success
of colony OF Finlanders established
at Fairfield, is miles from here about
year ago, has resulted in the COM
pletion OF plans to bring another col
ony to this section at once, IL has Just
been learned. The Firms will be To-
Gated on a 5000 acre tract on the
Jcssup Jacksonville road. The first
colony was started by w. ]. Mattson
Of Gardiner, Mass.
Dairying and farming are the prin-
cipal occupations OF the new settlers
and they have built up an industrious
and prosperous community it is stat
ed.
Each of the settlers is assigned to a
200 acre tract of land. They open ac-
counts for food, supplies and other
necessities and when the crops are
harvested the farmers pool their grain
and products which are sold through
cooperative marketing plan. At the
end of the year when accounts are
balanced. the Firms as stockholders,
draw dividends. Cotton, sweet pota-
toes and tobacco are the principal
crops handled.
As an example of what can be done
1t is stated that the Films have even
made a profit from clearing the land
of stumps and waste,>t the sale of the
wood to a fuel concern in Brunswick
more than paying for the work of
clearing the land. 81

CASTLE ROCK
REGION LIKELY
STATE PARK
CBy ]. H. Lewis

PLATTEVILLE.-Z brotn-
ers, Castle Rock township, Grant
county, are active in enlisting the
support of neighbors and friends to
help promote a movement faVorlng
the establishment Of the famous Cas-
tie Rock as state park. A score CT
prominent business men OF Platte
Vile heartily approve Of the enter
prise and a movement is now on foot
to secure signers to a petition to be
presented to the state legislature,
the chief purpose OF which is their
interest in enacting legislative pro-
cedure in this direction.
Castle Rock has received scant
mention in the public press. Only
occasionally have brief and rather
incomprehensive descriptions OF this
wildly beautiful spot been given TO
the people of the state at large. 1t
must be visited in order that It's
scenic grandeur may be appreciated.
Tall bluffs, raising majestically On
sides OF deep ravine, are thickly
studded with monaTchs of the prime
val forests. The rim Of the canyon is
circled by native bluff rock. Through
the valley, several hundred feet be-
low, flow the headwaters of Blue
river, a branch Of the Wisconsin,
justly named because Of the deep in
digO hue of it's waters as it cleaves
it's way through a mass of tumbled
boulders to join the wide tributary
of the Mississippi. The great pin
nacle of rock known as Castle Rock
rises above this ravine, a silent, mas
sive tower OF stone, resembling i'll
contour the castles Of ancient feudal
days. In the immediate vicinity are
caves which have been partly, but
never fully explored. The present
governor not long ago recounted the
experience OF himself and friend on
one occasion when both were bent on
learning more of one Of these caves
Castle Rock is about nine miles due
west Of Highland and can be reached
from this village over good county
highway. 1t is about the same dis
lance northwest Of MOntfOrt, but the
roads in this direction are very hilly
and rocky, and for part of the way
through sandy bottoms, but the APP
proach to Castle Rock from the Mont
fort side is indeed a magnificent sight
itself as the roadway runs through
badly broken up bluff country and
resembles in a measure such scenery
as the tourist may expect to meet
with in mountain country.
Castle Rock retains all its natural
endowments just as it was laid down
by the Architect of the Universe, and
can be preserved to future genera
tions in all its beauty, 1t will be lit
tie disturbed by the aggressions 0f
farmers and others, because it will
not lend itself to farming, but the
tall trees may be hewed out by the
woodsman, and once the bluffs are
despoiled OF these trees much of the
beauty of the surroundings will have
been removed.
