POPULAR YOUNG
PEOPLE MARRIED
Cedar County Wedding of Interest to
Jonrnal Readers Miss Geral-
dine Young the Bride.
- From the Coleridge Blade we take
the following account of the mar
riage of Miss Geraldine Young to
Cecil J. Schwers, which occurred last
week at Shadeland Stock farm, home
of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. L. Young, near Coleridge:
"The marriage of Miss Geraldine
Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
L. Young and Cecil J. Schwers, son
of Mr. and Mrs. John Schwers, took
place on Tuesday the 20th, at 11
o'clock at the home of the parents of
the bride, the Rev. J. C. Christie,
pastor of the Presbyterian church, of
ficiating. The beautiful impressive
ring service was used and the bride
and groom were unattended.
"The bride was gowned in a dark
blue tailored suit, with embroidered
blouse and wore a corsage bouquet
of Mrs. Ward's roses.
"Mrs. Schwers is a charming and
accomplished young lady and is a.
great favorite and highly esteemed
by many friends in Cedar county. She
graduated from the Coleridge High
school In 1917. Then she went to
the State Normal at Wayne, where
she graduated in 1919, after which
she taught very successfully for a
number of years in the Laurel High
school.
"Mr. Schwers is a young man of
sterling qualities and worth. He at
tended a business college at Sioux
City for some time and served in
the World war in France for a time,
and since that time he has been a
progressive and successful farmer.
Both of them are interested in church
work. Mrs. Schwers has been active
in Christian Endeavor and Sunday
school work in the Logan View Pres
byterian church and has been a
great help in the music of the
church. Mr. Schwers has also been
active in the church and Sunday
rchool work. He is a ruling elder
in thi3 church and has a host of
friends who wish him success in
life.
"Only immediate relatives were
present. Autumn flowers, ferns and
potted plants were effectively used
in the decorations. After the young
people had received congratulations
of their friends, the company was
invited to the beautifully decorated
dining room, where a delicious four
course wedding dinner was served.
"The presents were numerous, use
ful and beautiful. The young couple
have gone on their honeymoon to
points of interest in Colorado and the
coast and upon their return they will
be at home at Hartington to their
many friends after November 1st.
They have the hearty congratulations
and best wishes of many friends in
Cedar county".
"A number of showers were given
In honor of the bride by her close
friends, also her Sunday school
class."
Mrs. J. L? Young, mother of the
bride, is a daughter of C. H. Boe
deker, of Murray.

VICTORY NOTES
GOING A KITING
Upward Slant Given Government Se-
curities-r-Libeity ' Bonds are
Also Higher at Exchange
New York, Sept. '27. Trading in
liberty bonds and victory notes on
the stock exchange today again at
tained large proportions, and created
several new high records for the year
the chief feature being Victory 4.
These rose to 99 M, but reacted with
most other issues later, when real
izing sales moderate recessions.
Out of total bond sales, roughly
estimated at $19. 000,000. the liberty
and victo- issues contributed 75 per
cent. Unusual activity was shown by
the several liberty 4 Us but the vic
tory 4s alone made up about 30
per cent of the whole. Demand for
these securities again proceeded, ac
cording to reports fro mimportant
financial companies institutions, in
surance companies and other large
corporations, a3 well as estates and
rich individuals in search of accept
able investments.
From all accounts the liquidation
oJ these bonds by small investors
has ceased.
An important element in the in
quiry for these prime securities is
the relaxation of money rates. This
has released large amounts of idle
capital.
Low records for the various issues
were established early this year. The
recovery to the highest levels of this
year this week ran from about
$2.75 to $5.15 per $100 bonds.

DEMOCRATS DIVIDE
OVERTHE TREATY
Sentiment Among Minority Group in
Senate AgainEt Pact, Senators
State After Meeting.
Washington. Sept. 27. A sharp
division of opinion on the German
peace treaty among democratic sen
ators was disclosed today at a party
conference which broke up without
definite action on what attitude to
take toward ratification.
Democratic Senator Underwood an
nounced another meeting would be
called for Thursday to discuss the
pact.
Sentiment generally among the
democrats, according to senators at
the conference is opposed to the
treaty. Some of them, however, it
was said, while criticising the pact,
are inclined to vote for it "as the
best of a bad bargain."
Some sfction is expected at the
conference on Thursday after sena
tors have had more time to study
the treaty.
Senator Harrison of Mississippi,
who is leading the democratic fight
against the treaty, declared that he
found a growing support among the
democrats.
Borah of Idaho, "irreconciliable,"
introduced a resolution in the sen
ate asking the secretary of state to
inform the senate whether the Unit
ed States has now "any representa
tive in any way connected with the
reparations commission" in Europe.
The resolution is part of Borah's
attack on the peace treaties.

POLICE OF CHICAGO
REAPING A HARVEST
Proving Themselves Adept in Boot
leggingGet 6 Rakeoffs on
Same Case of Whiskey
Chicago, Sept. 27. A system thru
which Chicago policemen were alleg
ed to have obtained as many as half
a dozen rakeoffs on the same case of
whiskey was revealed today in the
government's investigation of the po
lice department, said by Chief of Po
lice Charles Fitzmorris to contain
2,500 bootleggers, in a membership
of 5,000. The request of the chief
that the federal authorities help him
clean house was placed before the
federal grand Jury with a score of
witnesses, most of them policemen,
testifying today.
One witness, according to officials,
explained the system. Members of
the police force organized In bands,
he said, would obtain information as
to shipments of .whiskey to Chicago
and then, in uniform, would rob the
cars under the pretense that they
were confiscating liquor.
The whiskey was then sold at
fairly cheap bootlegging prices.
When the liquor was delivtreu. how
ever, a policeman always appeared
and demanded a substantial amount
from the recipient for protection.
After the sum had been paid, other
policemen wuld raid the place and
after collecting another fee. would
"confiscate" the liquor, resell it and
repeat the process sometimes a half
dozen times before turning the
whiskey over to a favored saloon
keeper for sale at high prices.

Replying to the statement by
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the
anti-saloon league, that' blame for
lack of enforcement of the prohibi

city and federal officials. Chief Fitz
morris said:

runs something like this: 'He that
