B. FORSYTHE AND BRIDE RETURNED

Spent Three Months in Travel Following Marriage—Are Delighted With Los Angeles, Oal. 1 Mr. and Mrs. B. Forsythe arrived home Tuesday afternoon from their long wedding tour, which embraced the most interesting places on the Pacific Aoast and in the south. They were married' in Parsons, Kans., on December 31st, and started on their trip at once. They spent some time at the Grand Canyon of Arizona and later visited the great Yuma dam and the Indian reservation schools in that section. The dam serves to irrigate 140,000 acres of land and is 448 feet in width. The lands are largely taken up by thi Indians, although many white people are moving in. From there they went to Los Angeles, Cal., where they spent about six weeks, taking in many side trips of interest. Mrs. Randle has friends there, who were very kind in entertaining them and in showing them about the city and the surrounding country. They also saw B. O. Gardner, a former Rensselaer man. Mr. Forsythe attended a big meeting of businessmen at Los Angeles, having been invited by a friertd. Two hundred men were in attendance and they advocated everything that was for the good of Los Angeles. All were boosters and the speeches were the best boosting messages Mr. Forsythe ever heard. Real estate continues to advance in price at Los Angelas and many have made fortunes during recent years by judicious investments. It is estimated thdt there are from 160,000 to *200,000 tourists in that city this year and every other house in the city almost is a boarding or rooming house. The climate, he reports, is delightful for the most part arid they left that city with considerable reluctance. They spent about ten days at San Diego, also enjoying a fine time there. - They spent some time in Texas, visiting Galveston, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso. They crossed into Mexico from the last named city and visited the town of Jaurez. which has been the bone of considerable contention In the Mexican revolution. They were shown where many bullets had pierced the door of the custom house and many other evidences of war. They visited a bull pen but did not care to witness one of/ the gory encounters. Mr, Forsythe favors Houston to the other Texas cities and says that it is enjoying a fine boom. He saw and talked with Will Donnelly, formerly of Rensselaer, who is doing splendidly there. They also visited the soldier concentration and training camp. They spent some time at New Orleans, La., where last week the temperature was about 80 degrees in the shade and uncomfortably warm. They arrived in Chicago last Saturday and spent a few days In the big,city before coming to their home. They have taken up their residence at the beautiful Forsythe property at the corner of Washington and Division streefts, where they will keep house. Mr. Forsythe

will look alter his farm and business interests and otherwise be retired. They plan to spend next winter in Florida. Both came home feeling In the very best of health and will doubtless be kept busytor some time receiving their many friends.
