Captain Edmonds0n made an enviable

board has been equally notable. We
feel that it is up to us to stand squarely
behind, him and help put him on the
board for another terms. While he rep

always shown such an impartial and
sympathetic attitude to all parts of the
county that many of his campaign lead

his home precinct.
Captain Edmondson-S has studied
county affairs closely and his past rec
ord enninently qualities him for con-

ing the road-building program, and is
advocating strongly the paving of all
trunk roads as soon as possible"

ache and irritability. For fifty years
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has been overcoming such con-
ditions and restoring sick and ailing
women to health. 1t surely pays every

Gerald the Giant lived in a great
 large house built on top of large rock so that when he sat at his front windows, he could sec everyone who came by.
 blowing clouds of smoke up at the ceiling when the little house on wheels rolled up the path. | Raggedy Ann owned the magical house on wheels and with her was Raggedy Andy, the magical hobby horse and funny little old woman.
 Just you mark my words, Rag gedy Ann!" the little woman said, Gerald the Giant will be sure to see you when you pass his house and he will run out and take everything away from you for he does that to everyone who comes by! My! I'm afraid of him since he took away my magic charms and wouldn't give them back"
 But Raggedy Ann wasn't even afraid smidgin and she said so.
 Hal" Gerald the Giant said when he saw Raggedy Anns house on wheels. Here is something very strange. Whoever heard of a house rolling down the path? I'm sure I never did" and he came running down from his porch and held up his hand like the policeman when he stops traffic.
 But Raggedy Ann put her head from the window and said, Why do you wish to stop us, Gerald Giant?"
 "Because l shall take the house away from you!" Gerald the Giant replied. Then you had better get out of the way!" Raggedy Ann cried. For if you don't we may run over your toes!"
 "Pooh," Gerald the Giant replied. Who's afraid of little teeny weeny house on wheels?" And he stood real still and did not budge.
 Bang" the little house on wheels bumped into the Giant, upsetting him and making him fall to the ground so hard, he made the trees shiver and shake.
 Although it was very hard bump, Gerald the Giant did not cry as might be expected, instead, he reached out quickly and caught the little house in his two large hands and raised it far above his head.
 IL was fortunate for the little old woman that she fell out of q window and scampered into the bushes, for , the giant, peevish at the bump he | had received threw tho little house to he ground, breaking 1t into hunrdeds | of pieces.
 Why Gerald Giant" Raggedy Ann | cried when she wiggled ont from the wrr ,kaEe. Aren't you ashamed of | ourself 10 break our pretty little | house all to pieces!"
 "Just you look al the bump l got!" Gerald the Giant hovled in a very ond voice. That's why broke your ,ld house to pieces!
 Now, Just you watch your house." {aggedy Ann said 10 him as she held fer magic hook and made wish.

 last night at the Iroquois Hotel be- fore a brilliant assemblage of guests Mir. Richard Summers and Miss Bea- trice Grimshaw were married.
 Rarely have there been seen as many flowers at social function as at this wedding, the whole wall be- hind the improvised altar being hung with canopy of La France roses, the brides favorite flower. This was done at the request of Miss Paula Perier. the brilliant young moving picture star, who has many friends in the city. Miss Perier. on the arm of MT. John Alden Prescott, made one of the party following the bride. The best man and matron of honor were MT. Sydney Carton and Mrs. Sally Atherton.
 A congratulatory telegram was re- ceived from Mrs Prescott, whose fa- ther shows slight improvement.
 The bride was very charming !n the of-honor costume that she had worn three years before at Mrs. Prescott's wedding. Mrs. Sally Atherton, a recent widow, was gowned in orchid chiffon. and Miss Perier was radiant in cell blue chif- ion heavily embroidered in pearl beads,
 The corridors of the Iroquois were filled all the evening with a curious crowd. hoping to see the famous moving picture star, but no one of stairs.

 Sydney Carton.

Thank you so much for wiring me about Bees wedding. Otherwise I should have known very little about it. My father is a shade better, but the crisis has not been passed yet Knowing all that you do you will not expect to see me before you leave for home. Will you wire me if the baby is all right. Did Paula Perier see him when she was there?
 Have written both of you and to my friend Sally Atherton. Have not heard from Ruth and did not sec her name among the guests, so ex- pect she has gone to New York to meet Walter Burke. That was the reason could not get hold of her when I left. Will you please send me her New York address if possi- ble? You can get it at the shop. Thanking you, Always,
