Editor Tribune: Thursday morning Mr. Snydof ami I returned from Lincoln, where wo had gone to anslst In gottlng "Bill" IJurr securely married and proporly aUrtod on bin honey-moon trip. Ho had been through forty- oloven pink toa parties bofore wo arrlvod and wan behaving fairly woll though iionrlng the breaking point, whoro the groom-to-be rebels and balks. Wo bracod him up for two more dinner parlies and stayed by lil m through the final ceremony and send-off. Professor W. W. Burr, head of the Department of Agronomy of the University of Nebraska, was married to MIbh Aurelln Marion Scott at the homo of the bride's mother In Lin coin at 2:00 p. m. January 1. 1919. The ceremony was performed by Itov Dr. Wharton. Tho bride was nccom nunled by Miss Mary Holchar of Lincoln and tho groom by Mr. Arthur Sampson of Washington. D. C Tho wedding was a beautiful, solemn, private affair, as till wodd ings should be, but all limits wero romoed at tho send-off. As the bridal party caino Into the roou facing tho minister, Professor Ilurr was Indulging In his old habit when agitated of humming some long re membered verso and I caught a part of this refrain, "Whon you step to tho tune of a wedding march, Its a long walk.' I cannot truth fully nay ho looked happy Just then but when tho color returned to bin lace and strength to his limbs, his Editor Tribune I onclose a couple of dollar to mark mo up some on subscription, for wo Just can't got along without the Tribune yet. 1 think the country here Is all right, but people tiro not progress ive and there Is more narrow mind ed bigotry .and pnrtlznn politics than anything else. This country Is tibnolutely ruled by a "boss" and tho mark of patriot ism and liKhtcausnoM) Is to "vote or straight." Thero Is not only a democrat and republican paper jn our little berg, but also ti democrat and republican bank, one republican lawyer and two doctors and tho rest of the lawyers and doctors aro tho democrat kind, ami so classed. A loyal democrat" would about as soon die as send for the republican doctor, and a good republican farm er lets his team go unshod till the republican blacksmith gets time to do tho work I had heard of "playing politics" both and I guess this must be it. It is kind of funny, but I am a kind of a pariah becauso I take both papers, do business at tho republican bank, paid a feo to a republican lawyer, go to tho democrat blacksmith and I havon't yet loarned the kind of a store I trade at. Maybo it Is this that makes our town such an unprogresslvo place Ham calls It "a mall order annex to St. Louis". I always did believe that the live business men of a live town, performed real service and woro entitled to a reasonable profit and tho patronage of the country. I reallzo It more now that I miss It mid I am going to say tliat l would give $1000 if North rintto, with Its business nnd business men, could bo set down whoro our town Is; and that Is ten miles from tho edge of my land bo Its not town lots but business trading privllego that would mako that difference to me. The Chamber of Comnierco ought to elect me an honorary life mom face beamed like that of a man who has Just como into possession of a j)0r for uaylng that and maybo I'd long sought treasure of unbounded Cnmo back sometime to enjoy tho and surpassing beauty. At tho depot tho brldo and groom wero obliged to walk through a bovy of Bororlty girls and a crowd of bols- honor, but lest somo (uestlon my Biinlty in making his statement, lot mo "put up" that our ono and only (also boss) stock buyer demands learned Judge Is one of the gripping and dramatic scenes In the Metro presentation, "In Judgement Of," which will bo tho attraction at the Sun Theatro Wednesday evonlng. In the court room presiding ovor the trial of n youiiK doctor ncpused of murdor, sits the Judge (played by Herbert Standing). Among the spec tators in tho room is the girl, Mary Manners, (Anna Q. Nilsson,) who is in love with John O'Neal (Franklyn Karnuni) tho doctor. All the evl- donce Is overwhelmingly against the inau she loves and yet Mary Is thor oughly convinced of his innoconco. With compelling lnslstance she keeps tier eyes on the face of the Judge who In turn, cannot escape from her ac cusing look nnd is held In a trance by some supernatural power. Whon he verdict of "guilty" is rendered by tue jury ttio judge can stand it no longer and confesses that ho Is the real offender. The scene Is intense in the extreme and is acted in a su perb manner by the all-star cast of players seen in the various roles iu:kshi:v mows (From the Times) Gladys and Dolbert Martin will leave Sunday for Grand Island to take up commercial courses ut the business college.

Tho number of ctittlo per person In tho United States In 1900 was two-thlrdB of ono, In 1910 four- ninths and In 191S two-fifths, or the ratios for tho three dates arc 1G, 10 and 9. The same figures for hogs are four-fifths, three-fifths and flve- uliithB or 3G, 27 and 26. Those fig ures in part account for tho present high prices. If wo aro to see a porlod of great prosperity with an accompanying fust Increase in population, it Is doubtful if live stock will be able to keep tho pace, though fluctuations in numbers of llvo stock often occur much more rapidly than people. At any rate, thoro seems to be a reason for high priced meat. Ono way to keep down tho cost of food Is to mako farm Ufo so attrac tive that a largor proportion of the pooplo bocomo farmers.
