Joseph Musich and Elizabeth
Kovall Exchange Vows at
Catholic Church.

Tuesday morning at high mass
ceremony, the Rev. Frank Mihelcic
united in the holy bonds of matrimony,
Miss Elizabeth Kovall, daughter of Mrs
Rose Kovall, and Joseph Musich, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Musich.
Miss Margaret Musich, a cousin of
the groom, and Albert Kovall, brother
of the bride, attended the couple. The
bride was gowned in pink lace and a
corsage of bridal roses and lilies of
the valley. The bridesmaid wore blue
lace gown and a corsage of roses and
sweet peas.
Following the ceremony and we'd
ding breakfast at the home of the
brides mother, short wedding trip to
Duluth was taken. The couple will be
at home in the lower floor of the Leino
residence.
The groom is operators assistant at
the State Theatre. The bride has been
at home with her mother. Both are
well and favorably known here, gradu-
ates of the Ely schools. They have a
host of friends who join in wishing
them all possible happiness.

WHEN one advises, "Use a re-
w fiector to soften and tighten
shadows" most snapshooters think,
"Oh, that is too complicated - too
much trouble"
AS matter of fact, any white or
light-colored surface can serve as a
reflector, to make shadows soft and
full of detail. For instance, look at a
man reading newspaper.The news
paper catches light and reflects it
into his face - 1t is a very good
shadow illumination.
A white spring or summer dress
catches light and reflects it to the
subjects face, and under her chin.
A broad white hat brim catches
light from the dress, and reflects
it to the subjects forehead.
A white building (see diagram)
can be used as a reflector to tighten
the shadow side of the person you
are picturing. A white picnic cloth,
spread in the sun, reflects enough
light to soften shadows in the faces
Of all the group around it.
Whenever you are taking pictures
Of people, especially in sunlight,
make sure that the shadows are
softened in some fashion. Black
shadows under the subjects eye
brows and nose ruin a picture. Use
any sort of rejecting surface -

Speeding 5000 miles through
the clouds from the orange groves
of the West, Patricia Ellis, youth
full screen star, brought to Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt a baby
navel orange tree, the direct
descendant of the parent tree sent
to California 65 years ago by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Thus did $4,000 California cit
rus growers symbolically repay
the U. S. Government a billion
dollar debt in one of the most
unique events growing out of the
strangest story Of plant propaga-
ton in the history Of horticultural
science.
At the White House, in behalf
of the President, Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt received the tree and q
box Of navel oranges from the or.
iginal IS year old tree.
Since the propagation Of this
seedless variety, more than nine
million navel orange trees have
sprung into abundant growth in
California's sunkist groves and
the original importation has been
characterized by the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture as "the most
valuable fruit introduction yet
made"

How Bourbon" Is Pronounced

The accepted English pronuncia-
ton when referring to the royal
family of France is ''Boor-bon," ar
"Boor-bun," with the first syllable
accented. In Kentucky, however,
the name of Bourbon county, which
gave its name to a famous brand of
whisky, is invariably pronounced
"Ber-bun," Kentuckians often en-

to determine whether or not per-
