Protecting your
Family
Keeping the wolf from your
door is often taken too
figuratively. But it is not an idle
joke, to be ridiculed or ignored.
To keep the wolf from your door
requires weapons more powerful
than implements of war. It requires
a defense that cannot be bought or

Had a Tussle with the Storm
The storm which did so much
damage along "O" street last Friday
evening also caught the family of
Frank Mrasek and Herman Richter,
as they were returning from the
state fair. They had sought to out
run the storm, but were not able,
and had gotten about three miles
from Elm wood at the home of Fred
Hall, when the storm struck. They
were not able to get out of the auto,
and ran it alongside of a garage
which was careened to one side, and
they were all afraid it would blow
over on them. When the fury of the
storm had in a manner abated Mr.
Mrasek ran to the house and finding
no one in the house, opened the door
and securing the family went and
remained until the family came home
some three hours later from the fair,
where they had been also. They pre
vailed upon Mr. Mrasek and company
to remain. It is well that they did.
for otherwise they would have ran
into a stream of water many feet
deep and have been swept away.
Frank says frankly that he saw in
the storm something to be afraid of.

Chemists Upset Ancient Maxim
by Spying on the Work of the
Industrious Silkworm.
A pllk purse made from sows' ears,
as chemistry' answer to the old say
ing that it couldn't be done, was shown
at the chemistry exposition in New
York recently.
In announcing the successful result
of experiments, Arthur D. Little, luc,
chemists and engineers of Cambridge,
Mass., said the 6llk was not very
strong and that there was no present
Industrial value in the process in
volved. It was more or less the prod
uct of chemistry at play, but a con
tribution also to philosophy Id prov
ing the fallacy of the old proverb.
In reciting the factors that entered
Into the transition, of sows' ears from
Chicago stockyards to a silk purse
such as a woman might carry, the
chemists explained that the first step
was to analyze the silkworm's method
of making silk. This done, Its cater-
pillar chemistry was copied In the
laboratory.
It was found that man had to pro-
Vide a Substitute for a process by
which the silkworm exudes from two
tine ducts in Its head minute threads
of a viscous liquid, coated with an-
other secretion, which are cemented
into a double strand. This becomes
a firm filament of silk when it coagu-
lutes nn reaching the air.
Analysis of this viscous liquid
showed it to be like glue and witn
somewhat similar chemical properties.
The sow's ear being chiefly gristle and
skin, also has the natural elements of
glue. This was obtained from the
ears and It was put through several
processes of preparation, filtered under
pressure and placed in spinning ap
paratus of a special design. j
The solution of glue and chemicals ,
came out as sixteen very fine color- !
less streams, joined into one composite l
fiber, treated to give it strength and j
color and processed yet again to ob- j
tain the desired 60ft silk feel. The j
weaving followed on a small hand
loom, the fabric was formed and the
purse made. '

count of Wedding.
From the Monmouth (III.) Daily
Herald we take the. following ac
count of the marriage of Rev. J. I).

September 1st. Rev. Buchanan left

preaching his farewell sermon to the
congregation at Murray, August 28,
and will spend a year or more abroad,
attending the graduate school of
Theology at Edinburgh, Scotland.
Here is the account:
"The west side U. P. church was
the scene at noon today of one of the
prettiest weddings of the season,
when the Rev. J. Dales Buchanan
claimed Miss Helen Barr Huey, the
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. S. G.
Huey, as his wife. Preceding the
ceremony Miss Lurlene Sneath play
ed a selection on the harp. At twelve,
to the strains of the Lohengrin Bri
dal chorus, the bridal party entered
the church. First in the wedding
party were the ushers, Gordon Marsh
and Homer Maxwell, of Cannons
burg. Pa. Following the ushers came
the two bridesmaids, Mrs. Leonard
Killey and Miss Ruth Huey. sister of
the bride and Miss Grace Huey, who
was her sister's maid of honor. The
flower girls were Margaret Richard
son and Ruth Lukens. The Rev. J.
Dales Buchanan and his brother,
Bruce Buchanan, . with the bride's
father. Rev. Huey, who performed
the ceremony, met the others' of the
bridal party at the altar.
"The bride's dress was of white
ivory satin with over drape of burnt
out lape and she carried a boquet of
white brides roses and snap dragons.
The church was beautifully but simp
ly decorated for the occasion.
"Immediately after the ceremony,
the wedding party went to the home
of the bride's parents, where a re
ception for relatives and close friends
was held. The house was simply,
but artistically decorated with the
pink and orchid asters. After the
reception a three-course wedding
breakfast was served by the friends
of the bride.
"Both Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan are
well known in college circles. Mrs.
Buchanan is a graduate of Central
H. S. in St. Louis, with the class of
1914. She was a student of music at
Cora th's conservatory in St. Louis,
at the time of her removal to Mon
mouth early in 1914. She entered
Monmouth college and was graduat
ed from the Conservatory of music
with the class of 1917. Mrs. Buchan
an is an accomplished musician and
for the last two years she was the
head of the music school in connec
tion with the Geneseo Collegiate Lu-

Over that Hot Stove, Too!
Why pay three dollars and scventy-hve cents for
that bushel of peaches, work over the boiling hot stove
and get fifteen quart cans of the fruit, then pay for
the sugar, and furnish the container, which makes the
fruit alone not counting the can cost you 26 cents each.
When you can purchase the peaches and the finest
put up in heavy syrup, including the cans for only 27!?
cents each. Did you ever stop to figure the matter out.
We would be pleased to take your order for the
fruit already canned, and save you the hard hot work.
