A pretty wedding took place at four o’clock Wednesday afternoon, September 5th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Eugene Morgan when their daughter Frieda was joined in wedlock to Mr. Ralph Beal. The happy couple, attended by Miss Clara Morgan, the bride’s sister, and Jesse Beal, brother of the groom, took their places beneath a beautiful arch of asters and ferns while Mrs. Frank Willardson, the bride’s aunt, played the wedding march. Rev. J. T. Anderson, of the Reading Presbyterian Church, performed the ceremony. The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of white crepe de chine, and the groom wore the conventional suit of blue. Miss Clara was dressed in a dainty blue mull and the best man, a servant of Uncle Sam, wore the khaki uniform. After the wedding ceremony, a delicious wedding dinner was served.

Which Loved Best

I “I love you mother”, said little John Then forgetting his work, his cap went on, And he was off to the garden swing Leaving his mother the wood to bring.

II “I love you mother”, said little Nell. “I love you better than tongue can tell” Then she teased and pouted half the day Till mother rejoiced when she went out to play.

III “I love you mother said little Jan” “Today I’ll help you all I can” To the cradle then did she softly creep And rocked the baby till fell asleep.

IV “I love you mother again they said” Three little children going to bed How do you think that mother guessed Which of them really loved her best?
