dingy matt . I! that discount home values /

See This 'Beautiful %oof Today! YOU would scarcely believe that the home it now protects, was built twenty years ago. Yet, just a few days ago the original roof was rated unsightly and a poor asset to its community. Actually it discounted the homes around it. With this new Mule-Hide Roof, applied over the original worn shingles—fresh life is now put into the old home. The insurance rate too, is less as leading companies recognize the fire resistant quality of Mule-Hide. Today this old hom with Mule-Hide—would easily bring $500.00 more than if the old roof remained. You too, can increase the comfort and value of your home bv reroofing. Before you build or reroof see us. We will quote you a complete price applied by reliable local contractors. Or sell just the material if you prefer to do the job yourself. To make your roofing dollar last —see us first. Miller Lumber & Coal Company

. INTERESTING LETTER RECEIVED ■ FROM BECKNELLS IN INDIA I— ... ' Mr. and Mrs. John Becknell,, West i Market street, received the following riutei’esting letter from their son, Harvi y Becknell, of Calcutta, fndia. Mr. Becknell is a worker in the Young Men's Christian Association there. ‘ Match 15, 1928 Dear Folks, Your letter ree'd enclosing the one from Uncle Sam. Thanks for sending* it. along. 'Yell, it is getting jifietty hot. The temperature is slowly creeping up to ’i 100 degrees. We shall be glad to escape to the hills: in May. but we keep fairly . comfortable by using ceiling i lectric fans. \A e have one in evyry room except the bath rooms. " e had quite a unique experience this: week, lljjs were invited to the wadding ceremony of one of my students. He is about 25 years of age, and is studying law.. a Hindu,, but a very fine boy. VVd like him very [much. Well, his father is a wealthy landlord- owns a large stretch of land -and is almost a king in his own territory.' You see, he holds the land and the farmers or peasants • simply-rent or lease if front him. That J is the system almost all over India. The farmers are almost, like slaves ttf the land lords. * This boy's father is growing old and lie wanted his son married be- : fore tie died. His friend, a neighboring tig land lord, had a' daughter I about: 15 years of- age. So it was arrangcfl that these two should marry, j As I say, we were, invited to the. , wedding. We went In train to a place called iiolpur and from there, took a Inis some ten or eleven miles out to tin bride's village where the mar--1 Wage, was to take plu > . About eight oi the students of our hostel were j also invited and went: out ’ with Bernice and me. At Bolpur we were met | by a delegation of friends (men) of 'the bridegroom. They gave us some tea and food ..and then we took the finis. The roads were simply indescribable. This was about' 8, o’clock in the evening. The roads are whollv unimproved. It was. worse than driv- ; ing over a plowed field.- It was awful! Eleven miles of humping, swaying anil jerking. Our first bus broke down and we had to take another. 1 Well, after a frightful shaking up, we finally arrived at. about 9; 30 at the place where the bridegroom’s procession was forming. We met our , friend the bridegroom and were gfv- . j on"some food by the bride's party. It is the Hindu custom that when you are offend food you must eat some- ' thing. After about 30 minutes the procesI slog formed. We were in a fihe'Buick ! car .and so more comfortable. There must have been 2 or 3 thousand peopl7 in the procession. We were the i only whites, , , If was a,strange mixture of ancient and modern things. Hundreds of people were carrying strings of carbite lamps to light the way. Just behind us wen two splendid'elephants upon whiei about 15 people each were riding Due of the elephants was a tuskci with five ivory tusks about _ i ret long. V • . Most ol the people walked. The bridegroom was carried on a pulan ; Cain by i ight men. He was dressed liki* ;t young prince royal. There was inn-it und dancing all along the proi e-sion. The walk to the bride’s villain took about one hour. We finally arrived at the bride's house and were > seated in the court ytTrd. Thousands oi villagers flocked around. 1 doubt whether some of them had ever seen —h —wi-ite—woman—beforeThey stared anil stall'd at Bernice."Then for about half an hour, we were entertained by .lancing girls-: and. a magician. . The i bridegroom soon arrived and was. cartied in to his couch. , w.e met the bride's lather. He wore ■ a red' towel around his. head which was to indicate his humility that now he was giving .place to the younger man. After about, an htjur the brideI groom and the intimate frieiids and relatives withdrew from the courtsaid into, the bride’s court yard and there the sen mony begun We wetv . privileged to see the ceremony.’ T>e 'liriilegrodm and the bride’s .father : sat facing one another On the ground. About them was a little arrangement ["of. bamboo sticks something like the I frame work of. a tepee. Bet ween them I were certain .objects of symbolism which were to lie" used in the cere mony. There was a burning light, rice wood, etc. To the bridegroom's ; right sat tliri-i Brahmin priests. ‘ All ... . 3 REASONS Why the Laundry should do my Washings: . —e-up; - .

around were the relatives (men) and friends. The women ot . ih*- house-, hold sat a short distance away on the veranda of the house with veils drawn over their faces. First the bridegroom changed his clothes to ail silk. Then the priests began to chant the Mantras or Hindu Scriptures. The bridegroom and father repeated after the priests. This went on.for some time. Finally a call was heard, signaling the approach of *t he bride and her party, Thfen the women all Set up a peculiar noise which sounded like 100-100-100, spoken at length and quickly. The bride was brought in seated on a board carried by two. relatives. Her face w as veiled. She was carried around the groom seven times. Then they placed a cloth over the heads of the bride and groom and they saw each other for Ihe first time. Then each put a wreath around the others neck and the bride was again carried out. Then them was some more repeating of the Mantras and again the bride was brought in this time she was seated beside the groom and ..they tied their clothing together,, symbolizing marriage. Well that is the gist of the perHarvey Becknell letter galley two ... formance. It would .be- impossible to tell you all. After the ceremony we had dinner. It was then about 2 A. M. We went back to the station" and came back to Calcutta. This Hindu wedding was a real privilege for us. The people were so kind and appreciative of.,everything. Many-; whites; live- in India a long time and never see anything of this kind so we feel quite honored. Hope you are all well.
