. The First Christian church was the scene of a beautiful and impressive wedding ceremony at four o’clock Wednesday afterrioon when Miss Marie Louise Hamilton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Hamilton, of this city, was united in marriage with Dr. William Condon Miller of Hammond, Indiana. The ring ceremony was read by the Rev. W. T. Barbre in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. All of the impressive and beautiful details of the church ritual characterized the ceremony and the wedding music was of especial beauty. At the magnificent pipe organ Mrs. Dr. M. D. Gwin presided, giving a recital preceding the ceremony. The numbers which were so beautifully given were the “Festival Prelude” by Boslet, “Nuptial March” by Coerne, “The Swan” by Saint Saens, “Spring Song" by Mendelssohn and “Orange Blossoms” by Friml. Mrs. John A. Dunlap sang the Theta prayer as a solo. For the processional Mrs. Gwin -played the wedding march from Lohengrin, and during the ceremony “Call Me Thine Own.” The wonderful strains of the Mendelssohn weding march was the recessional. During the musical program the bride entered the church, accompanied by her father, and proceeded down the north aisle. At the same time the groom, accompanied by Dr. Wade Laßue, of Indianapolis, his best man, entered the church auditorium through the south vestry door. Preceding the bride and her father, were ushers, the bridesmaids, maid of honor and the flower girls. Each of the bride’s attendants wore a dress of a different color, producing a rainbow effect. Miss Vilma Rich, of Indianapolis, maid of honor, wore a charming frock of.pink taffeta and white organdie and pink taffeta hat. The bridesmaids were dressed in rainbow colors, Miss Blount wearing an orchid colored organdie dress and hat, Miss Graig a green organdie dress and hat, Miss Stuart a pink organdie dress and hat and Miss Flora a yellow organdie dress and hat. The flower girls wore dainty frocks of different colors and carried baskets of pink and white roses and orange blossoms. The young couple met at the altar as the soft strains of “Call Me Thine Own” floated sweetly out over the audience and as the solemn and impressive marriage vows were exchanged. The bride wore a beautiful gown of white organdie with a tulle veil covered with orange blossomy and pearl trimmings, and carried a shower bouquet of white roses and orange blossoms. The maid of honor was Miss Vilma, Rich, of Indianapolis, and the bridesmaids were Miss Lois Blount, of Tipton; Miss Louise Stuart, of Indianapolis; Miss Gretchen Craig, of Indianapolis; and Miss Mary Flora, of Frankfort.

OBITUARY.

John Cooper was born on a farm in Union Township, Jasper County, Indiana, May 27, 1885 and departed this life at his home near Virgie, Indiana, June 15, 1920, at the age of 35 years and 19 days. He was the son of William and Ellen Cooper, two old and highly respected pioneer residents of Jasper county. John grew to manhood ,in his native state, but like many other young people, emigrated to the state of Minnesota to try to better his financial condition. While there he met and married Miss Elsie Smith at Virginia, Minnesota, June 16, 1912, and to this union were born four children, Alice, age 7; Jacob, age 5; Lucile, age 2; and Mabel,, age 6 months, all of whom are living. His father, one sister and two brothers have preceded him to the grave. He leaves to mourn their loss, a wife, four children, the mother, Mrs. Ellen Cooper of Union Township, three sisters, Mrs. Anna Fisher, Iron, Minn.; Mrs. Mattie pitzer, and Mrs. Lillie Haas, both of Union township; four brothers, Harvey, Wheatfield, Jasper, Levi and Peter, Gary, Ind.; three half-brothers, Scott, of Union township; Marion, Buchanon, Mich.; Frank, Indianapolis, Ind. It is with genuine sorrow that the relatives, friends and neighbors bid farewell to all that is earthly of our dear friend, because he was a loving husband, and indulgent father, and an obliging neighbor. As we gather around his casket on this sad occasion, this balm falls upqn our hearts, “That it is not all of life to'live, nor allof death to die, because the dark and mysterious caverns of the tomb have been explored, and as a trophy of that exploration has been brought back to us, an assurance of a life that lies beyond the grave.” Funeral services were conducted at Virgie church by Rev. W. T. Barbre and interment in the Prater cemetery.

JASPER COUNTY AGRICULTURE NEWS

Shorthorn Breeders’ Association. The shorthorn breeders’ association held a very enthusiastic meeting in> the county agent’s office Saturday evening, June 19th. The old breeders showed much interest in the meeting and greater impetus was given the association by the attendance of new members and breeders. Most of the breeders as yet have comparatively small herds, but are putting special emphasis on good foundation stock with outstanding individuals, of which Jasper county will be proud of in the near future. The meeting was given over mostly to the discussions of future projects which will be carried out this fall. These were, namely, the stock show, shorthorn sale, and shorthorn inspection tour. These were the three most important projects and were thoroughly discussed and plans were made whereby they could be carried to success. All three will receive the same amount of attention as they are essential for the building up of the shorthorns in the county. There will be several more meetings held later on for the purpose of arranging and completing of the plans. The county agent was not in attendance at this meeting on account of attending the Hanging Grove and Milroy Commencement at the Milroy Church. Canning Situation. A review of the canning situation in the country at this time reveals that nearly all the packers are finding it difficult to secure labor and that the cost of the raw products that will be canned this year will be high in price. This indicates that there will be a great reduction in the amount of commercially canned food and the cost will be higher than in previous years. I feel that the call to can is just as great now as it was during the war days. We have a great ftpportunity a wise, practical and patriotic service. We should urge the girls to join the canning club while there is yet an opportunity so they may have a part in this great service. Inspection Trip to Purdue. County Agent Mawhorter had the pleasure of inspecting the Purdue farm Monday, June 14, with the rtest of the county agents of this district, and in doing so he found many interesting plats and demonstrations on wheat, rye, sweet clover, alfalfa, soy beans and live stock that would be of interest and value to everyone in Jasper county and more especially to those interested in farming. This being the case, we are planning to make an inspection trip to Purdue and thus make it possible for all to receive the same benefits. So all those who are interested in such an instructive trip please meet at the court house and be ready to start for Purdue by auto Monday morning, June 28, at promptly 7 o’clock. Purdue will have guides to take us over the farms and show us every phase of their experiments. -They are making plans for our coming, so make this a big day for Josper county. The ladies are also invited to go along. Please remember the date and make arrangements to go. Many have signified, their intentions of going already. Control Cabbage Root Maggot* Found at last a simple yet effective control for one of the worst pests of the cabbage crop—ythe root maggot. Prof. Arthur Gibson of the Canadian Department of Agriculture and his associates have done a great deal of experimenting and highly recommend the use of corrosive sublimate solution for their control. ' During 1918 Gibson reports that 96 per cent of the plants were saved in the treated portions of the field, while 60 per cent of the plants left without treatment were destroyed by maggots. In 1919 the work was carried on “by tjie Ontario Department on a larger scale and results showed only 5 per cent loss when treated against a loss of from 52 to 80 per cent where left without the corrosive sublimate treatment. Now as to the corrosive sublimate treatment —it is so simple that anyone can use it. Dissolve one ounce of powdered corrosive sublimate in not less than 4 gallons of water and not more than 10 gallons. The first application should be made the fourth day after the plants are set in the field; the second application six days later and one or two applications ten days apart. Where maggots are to be controlled in the late outdoor plant beds the corrosive sublimate solution one ounce in 10 gallons of water should be used, pouring the solution three or four! times along the stems of

the" young plants. As to the application, Mr. Grbson writes, “The method of applying corrosive sublimate solution is ohn* ply to pour about a half a coupful of the liquid around the stem of each plant the fourth day a<ter the plants are set in the field ana another application six days later, with one or two later applications ten days apart. “Under commercial conditions we applied the liquid from a watering can, the spout of which was closed up so as to allow only a small stream to flow. In this way a small quantity of the liquid may be poured over the plants very quickly and the whole plantation covered a comparatively snort time.” ' , ... Not only did the corrosive sublimate solution control maggots, but Prof. Gibson reports that the treatment “showed ho deleterious influence either on the plants or on the

FISHERMEN AND HUNTERS TO MEET FRIDAY NIGHT

Fishermen and hunters will gather together Friday night of this week at the Moose club rooms to talk over the stocking of this county with fish and game. The formation of a local club to facilitate matters will be discussed and likely effected. State Organizer A. E. Bodine, of the Department of Conservation, State House, Indianapolis, arrived in the city today and will be at tomorrow night’s meeting. “For the sportsmen’s own benefit, a club should be in existence here,” state Mr. Bodine. “It is the only way in which some of the money spent here for licenses, may be returned to the county in the shape of fish and game. OTher sections are reaping the benefits of organization and' the state department of fish and game likes to cooperate with clubs in making conditions better for hunting and fishing.” The meeting Friday night is free to everyone. The propagation of wild life will be discussed from a scientific standpoint and will be an educational feature to those interested in fish, game and wild birds.
