PIFTY.FIRST YEAR. NEOSHO, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1919. LUCILE C. SHELDON BRIDE OF O. R.

LANE (From the Randolph (N. Reg' ister.) An early winter wedding, and the most elaborate social function of the season, was the wedding of. Miss Lucile Calhoun Sheldon and Olgar Ri- neal Lane of Neosho, Missouri, which claimed the presence of more than one hundred and fifty guests at Grace Episcopal church Saturday evening. Quantities of winter shrubbery bearing clusters of bright red berries, palms and' yellow chrysanthemums in tall white baskets adorned with bows of white ribbon were used in decorating the church, while ropes of white garlanded the aisles. White roses adorned the altar, which with its lighted candles made an artistic for the ceremony, which was solemnized at At the of the hour, the bridal party entered to the strains of Lohengren's Wedding March, rendered by Miss Helen Searle, who, gowned in pale pink georgette with a corsage of violets, had taken her place at the organ.

As the Rev. T. H. Delbridge, rector of the church, came to the altar, Mri Lane with his best man, Ralph Seager, emerged from the vestment room and awaited the approach of the bride at the chancel stairs. The bridal party was led by the ushers, Raymond Hitchcock and Windom Beacom.

Directly behind them walked the bridesmaid, Miss Gwendolyn Rich, gowned in blue georgette, wearing a large picture hat of the-same dainty color, and carrying an arm bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums. Then came the little flower girl, Betty 'Anderson, carrying baby chrysanthemums, and beside her walked her sister, Jane, bearing in her hand a single pure white bloom on which was placed the wedding ring. These dainty little ladies wore white organdie frocks. Following them came the bride and her maid of honor, Miss Helen Seager, who wore a beaded georgette gown, with picture hat of the same dainty pink as the gown, and carrying an arm bouquet of white chrysanthemums. At the chancel the ushers and the bridesmaid took places at either side of the approach to the altar, while the best man and the bride's attendant preceded the bridal'couple to the altar.

The impressive full ring service of the church was used. The bride was never more charming than she was on this, the crowning day of a maiden's life. Her robd was of heavy white Duchesse satin fashioned with court train, the only trimming being an oHl collar of rose pink lace. The long graceful folds of her tulle wedding veil swept to the hem of her train from a filmy cap encircled with orange buds which fittingly crowned her loveliness. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and the dainty swansonia.

Immediately following the cere-: mohy the bridal party returned to the bride's home in Church street, where an informal reception was attended by the members and close friends of the bride's family. After the congratulations and good wishes were showered upon the happy couple, with plenty of rice mixed in, and gratitude that the life of the young man was spared, and will wish them all the happiness life can hold to compensate for the long year of anxiety and uncertainty during which the cup of happiness might at a moment's notice slip from the lovers lips. CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE STARTED DEC. FIRST The Red Cross Christmas seals were placed on sale in every city, town and school of the country on December first. This sale is sponsored in Missouri by the Tuberculosis Association, one of the affiliated societies of the National Tuberculosis Association which has decreed that the plague that annually kills 160,000 Americans shall be the next enemy to be vanquished.

Association will offer for sale over 650,000,000 seals. Of this number Missouri's quota is equivalent to, ten to every person. Each state will carry on the fight against tuberculosis in its own state. The proceeds from the Missouri sale will be used by the Mis? souri Tuberculosis Association to further health workjn Missouri. Governor Gardner explatnsTKe importance of this sale to Missouri in a letter urging Missourians to get behind the campaign and make it a success, in the following words: "Owing to the limited funds available from state appropriations, it becomes (necessary for voltmuteeir organizations to promote the health activities in the state and of an educational health program to arouse health consciousness.

The Missouri Tuberculosis Association, having worked on this program for seven years, is the logical organization to carry on this work." A GRAND DINNER. course dinner was served at which covers were laid for sixty. The bride's table of twelve covers, which was laid in the music room, was centered with a huge bouquet of chrysanthemums. TJie dining room and parlors were also decorated with bouquets, of the same winter blossom, aria roses. Mr.

and Mrs. Lane left early in the evening for a short trip, and are leaving' the first of the week for- the west, where the groom has a home in readiness for his bride. They will stop enroute in Chicago and St. Louis, Lane is one of Randolph's most accomplished and charming young women, and her friends are only to the number of residents of our village where she was andnpew to womanhood. Her popularity was expressed no un- ible stakable way during these prenuptial days when-friend vied with friend in doing her honor, and by the quantity and quality of the exquisite gifts which have been showered upon her.

These latter include silver, cut glass, linens, money, and many other larger gifts of household furniture. The groom's gift to his bride was a platinum ring set with nine diamonds. Lane inherited her mother's gift for music and from early childhood could execute compositions which those not possessing this 'ft must needs spend hours of practice and study to acquire. She has gained no little notice as a skilled pianist. After graduating from Randolph High school she continued the study of music, completing a three-year course in piano, voice and cello, at the Northwestern University in Evanston, 111., and has since her graduation been employed as an accompanist for some of the best musicians of the metropolis.

Mr. Lane came from his western home in 1910, to enter Chamberlain Military Institute, and remained in Randolph during three school years. The romance which began in these happy days culminated in this union. After leaving Randolph the young man entered the University of Missouri and graduated from its law, school. He in the Teal estate business in Neosho, his home Like his wife he is musically gifted and has studied voice in Sfc Louis, where he has been tenor soloist in one of fye city churches.

REMOVAL OF SOLDIER DEAD FROM FRANCE IS HELD UP Paris, Nov. 65,000 American dead in France must be left in the graves they now occupy until the French are ready to exhume their own dead, which it is hoped will be before January 1, 1922. The foreign office has promised to consider the latest request of the American government for the return of its fallen soldiers, but later the official announcement was made: "It has been definitely decided that allies who fell together for the same cause, should remain together in death until circumstances permit of the returning of the bodies to the families for whom they sacrificed themselves." The proposed law forbidding the exhumaiiojjL- of dead for three years did not pass at the last session of the chamber of deputies, but the foreign office expects that it will be adopted soon.

This bill specifies a delay in exhumation of three yearsxfrpm the promulgation of the law, but it is expected that this period will be shortened. At the foreign office it is said to Jbe probable that the exhumation will commence considerably before January 1922. FORTY YEARS AGO. Thanksgiving day a baby boy was born to Charlie Hening. B.

Senator Owen said: "I wish to call the attention of the Senate to an analysis of the vote on this ratification- (ihe Lodge resolution). There were fifty- five votes against the resolution of ratification. Of that "number thirteen Republicans voted against it because they were hostile to the treaty any basis whatever; two others, whose, position I am not absolutely dear about, supported that position, leaving forty who voted against that Jform of resolution who really are in sfavor.of the treaty, and nearly all of think all of them without willing to agree to some kind of reservations of an interpretative character, and some of them may go further than -that. On the other side there were thirty-nine, of whom four were Democrats, who voted for the somewhat extreme reservations of the so-called Lodge resolution; Those" thSrtyrinine Senators added to the Senators makes seventy-nine Senators who, so far as this vote is concerned, are in favor of the treaty with reservations of some kind." Senator Pittman pointed out the important fact that the objectionable reservations in the Lodge Resolution could not have been adopted except by, the votes of the enemies of the treaty. Mr.

Pittman said: "I contend now, and the Record will disclose, that every reservation contained in the Republican resolution of ratification was dictated and framed by the identical men who voted tonight to kill the treaty. There was not a case but what, if those men had not voted against the substitutes for the Republican reservations, the substitutes would have carried." Senator Underwood gave 1 a timely warning leadership. In summing up the situation he said: "Do not think for one moment that you can fool the great business interests of this country, which are crying and pleading for peace; do not think for one moment that you can fool the toiling masses of America who are ci'ying and pleading for peace. If you want peace, there is but one way to get peace, and that is to keep this treaty oefore the Senate until we can secure, in one way or another, fairly and justly, a vote for its ratification."

They gnaw the bark near the surface of the ground and in extreme cases the trees are entirely girdled. Often such injured trees may Be saved if suitable measures are taken promptly; but a much better plan is to protect the trees from injury in the first place. This can be done by placing around each one a tree protector, made of; closely woven galvanized wire or of thin wood veneer. The wire protectors are more satisfactory in some ways; but the veneer protectors are cheaper and are much more generally used, says -V. R.

Gardner of the University of Missouri College of Agriculture. They pan be obtained from almost any firm dealing in berry boxes or baskets or general horticultural supplies. They cost from $1 to $1.25 a hundred and last for Several years. A few trees in the home orchard can be protected from rabbits and mice by wrapping their trunks with heavy paper and tying it in place. This, however, is too slow and expensive to be large commercial tions.

Poultry, Shows Results of Good Breeding. More than 72,000 eggs were produced on the poultry farm of the University of Missouri College of Agriculture in the year. Reckoning the entire flock, the average per hen- is about 150 eggs. This doesn't sound so prolific when you recall 200-egg hens and better, yet 150 eggs a year is nearly twice the production in the average farm flock, and ninety eggs more than the average for the United States according to the last census. If it were not for the fact that a certain proportion of the flock is kept for experimental work and that sqme of the uncommon varieties are kept for student judging work, the flock "average would close to 160 eggs.

probably run The strain of Single Comb White Leghorns on the University farm is one of the best.in the United States. The production of these birds is excelled at one experiment station only. This is at Oregon where Prof. James Dryden has developed an exceptionally high producing strain. During this past year over ten per cent of the University Leghorns have produced two hundred eggs or more.

One individual registered 226 eggs. An-. other has laid date and has until December 15 to complete her pullet year. One pen of eighty White Leghorns has averaged more than 170 eggs apiece. Perhaps the most remarkable production ever recorded on the University farm is that of this present season's Leghorn pullets From August 1 until November flock of'eighty March and April hatched pullets has averaged 48 eggs apiece.

One individual, has produced 79 eggs in this period. One pullet began laying on July 4 at the age of 4 months and seven days, which is a record for early maturity. The high producing strain of Leghorns on the University farm is the result of nine years' constant selection and breeding by Prof. H. L.

Kempster, chairman of the poultry department. Professor Kempster believes that his birds have reached a point in high production where a numbe rof different family lines can be established and that production next year will be higher than ever befpre. All persons having charge of town- shins or school districts in the Third Red Cross Roll Call who have not yet "reported and turned in their unused supplies of enrollment blanks and buttons, together with the membership fees secured, are asked to please do so at once, so that final tabulations can be made and report forwarded to the Divisional "Director Edward Hidden of St. Louis. This is important and should be attended to at once.

Supplies and reports may be delivered to Leo H. Johnson in the First National Bank Building, or to D. E. Shartel, at the office of the Shartel Mortgage Company. To date the total enrollment is 1589.

Washington, Dec. diversified program to restore a peace time iness status, revise the tax system, curb unrest, reduce the cost of living and rectify labor and farming cor tions, was recommended by President Wilson to the new session of congress. The president asked for new tariff laws based on the nation's changed relation to the rest of the, world, suggested that the income and excess profits tax schedules be simplified, advocated steps to improve rural conditions and promote production, and declared for a "genuine democratiza- -tion of industry," to protect both- both labor and Capital.

The railroad problem he reserved for a future message and he made no statement of his intentions regarding the peace treaty or 'Mexico. Many of his recommendations the same as those suWnitted to the special session last spring and several of them were embraced in legislation already being formulated in the two houses. To meet the cost of living, -the president asked extension of the wary time food control, federal control food storage, re-adjustment of food transportation and establishment of' a system of federal licensing for corporations engaged in interstate commerce. He declared the causes of unrest', to be superficial and temporary and made his only reference to the sen-' ate's failure to ratify the peace treaty in saying that restlessness was due largely to the nation's hesitation in determining its peace policy. The federal government, he declared, should be armed with full authority, to deal in the criminal courts with those who promote violence.

XJARMENT FACTORY ASSURED. The committee in charge of the $10,000 bonus for the garment factory to be established here byj Smith Bros, of Carthage say they? have the necessary practical- ly assured. Last week they had $8,500 subscribed and they seemed to. have reached the limit but one of the Smiths came over Tuesday and aub- seribed $500. Then J.

S. Cornish from whom the building is to be purchased subscribed $500 more. This leaves less than $500 to be reaised and it Is- believed that it will be given by the public service corporations which have', not yet decided as the matter had to be taken to the he'ad officials. The cqnti'act will probably be signed tip winthin the next few days. SUIT OVER REWARD MONEY.

Fred F. Todd, cashier of the Columbia National Bank at Kansas City, was in Neosho Monday visiting old friends. The Columbia National is a new bank, established November 17,1919, with a capital stock of $500,000 and already has deposits of two and a half millions. Fred resigned his position as state bank examiner to accept the position of cashier of the new bank. His many friends in Neosho he attended school pleased to hear of his rapid ment in the There, is still trouble over the re- for the arrest and conviction of Jay Lynch, who murdered Sheriff Harlow.

Prosecuting Attorney Timmonds has filftd a suit in the circuit court here, on behalf of Barton county, against.Sheriff Gay W. Ecton and his undersheriff, S. H. Wood, and Joseph O. Bradshaw, all of La Junta, Colorado, asking the court to them' to come in and litigate their claims to the $800 offered by Barton county, so as to protect the county Sheriff Ecton and Undersheriff Wood will appear bv Attorney E.

L. Moore and nresent their claims it is not yet known what Bradshaw will do. The $1200 raised by popular subscription is Rtill held in Colorado awaiting settlement by the men. Bradshaw, who identified Lynch, wants half of the reward, while the officers, who assumed the personal risk and responsibility of making the arrest, feel that one-third of it is all that he should ask. Hence this suit, and the state reward of $300 may ajso be paid according to the decision in this case.

Leader. Dump Brush and Straw Into Ditches. Brush and straw piles that will be; in the way next spring should be hauled away and used to stop washing. Aside from using straw as bedding for live stock, or sp" it over fields, this is perhaps the use to make of it. Everyone has seen, enormous gullies cut in a single season and years spent in trying undo the mischief.

The moral is, stop' the washing while the ditch is Small gullies that have just started in cornfield or wheat fields or even in pastures and meadows may, often, be stopped with a little straw. Even cattle paths in pastures of so that they need such treatment. In other places it Is necessary to plan' to sow sorghum to stop washing, but if the gullies are' more than a- deep and two" or three feet widest 13 usually better, to use to the Missoiinf Colt lege of The brush dam 'gives better results if Straw is mixed with the brush help hold the dirt. Whereever. i'all is great enough to muke the wi cut seriously it ia likely to be necessary to stake down the brush and straw so that they will not be washed away.

The less busy winter 'time should, used in active work to stop losses from soil washing in next season's field work so that.the fields will be planted and cultivated across the slope or around hill. Then the rows will not run straight down the slope and thereby furnish the steepest possible channel for the run-off from rains. Those who have such winter cover crops as rye to hold the soil in place are fortunate, but those who do not should not flatter themselves that no washing is going on even in winter when there less rainfall. Our Jay Bird correspondent says that George Mayfield's new barn is completed. We hear that this is the finest barn in that part of the county, being 86 by 60 feet and 84 feet from the ground to the top of the roof.

It, is painted regular barn red and gives an air of prosperity to the farm. It was a good year for Mr. Mayfleld, a deserved reward for his industry and foresight. His strawberries, apples and other crows' did well and now he is harvesting his wood crop at a very nice figure. Mr, and Mrs.
