A very pretty home wedding oc curred at the home of Mrs. Lottie Benson on Tuesday morning, July 25, at 7:30, when Miss Margaret Grace Benson was united in marriage to Mr. John Ward Dalton, of Chicago, 111., Rev. J. B. Porter, of the United Pres byterian church officiating. Only the immediate family witnessed the cere mony. » The ring ceremony was used, little Phyllis Benson acting os ring bearer. Immediiately after the ceremony, a bountiful wedding breakfast was served. The newlyweds left on the morning train for Monmouth, Illinois, for a short honeymoon, after which they will make their home in Chicago. The bride is so well and favorably known here that it is useless for us to dwell upon her many virtues and ac complishments. She graduated from the Ewing public schools, and for the past two years has been a teacher in the same schools. She has been active in church and social circles here, j»nd will be greatly missed by all her friends. The groom is an expert accountant in Chicago, and he, as well as his new life partner, are both graduates of Monmouth. He is a young man of sterling quality, and we predict for this happy couple a long and blissful wedded life. DECISIVE ACTION NEEDED IN COAL STRIKE SITUATON Every week of which the parties to the strike take to “inquire” into the situation brings us that much nearer a crisis which threatens to destroy the recent national revival of business. The only fact which is changing with this passage of time is the amount of reserve fuel available in this country. Everything else is exactly as it was when the strike began more than three months ago. Fundamental conditions behind the strike are the same now as then, evcept for depreciation of re serves. Any investigation which may be undertaken today or next week or next month can reveal only the same material facts which would have been revealed three months ago. Obviously it is useless to delay longer. The government should make that clear to miners and operators. If they still refuse to come together on the matter of wages and working condi tions which will at the same time pro tect the rights of the consumer, they should understand that a government for the people must of necessity in sure a supply of fuel which will keep the industries of the country in op eration and provide heat for homes ir the coming winter. The President cannot be too em phatic upon that point. His recem statement that “labor and capital hav< rights, but above all else the Ameri can public has the right to be freer from these recurring anxieties,” ex presses nothing but the truth. Bui the direct parties to the strike have proved that they are unimpressed by the truth. If they maintain th. t at titude any longer, definite prepara Play Safe!

Without such resumption a few weeks will see the country on the verge of industral collapse if not of starvation. Food can be neither transported nor prepared in adequate quantities in this country without coal. Virtually no industry can oper ate without it. If the operators and miners cannot agree to give it to us, the government must.—Chicago Trib une.
