HOME FROM WEDDING TRIP
Mr and Mrs Wm J Fisher, Whose Marriage Took Place on December 26

Mr and Mrs W.J. Fisher arrived home from the Twin Cities last Wednesday
evening after a week's visit with relatives and friends. They were on their
wedding trip. They have not yet commenced housekeeping but they will, we
understand, soon be "at home" to their many friends in one of the
comfortable residences of our city. Mrs. Fisher, better knwon as Miss
Margaret Flood, taught in the public schools of our city for a number of
years and has for some time been assistant county superindendent. She is a
winsome, highly accomplished young lady and is well prepared to take an
active and creditable part in the leading social and other affairs of the
community. Mr. Fisher is one of the most scholarly professional citizens of
our county. He completed his classical course at Creighton university and he
is a graduate of the law department of Georgetown university of Washington,
D.C. He has practiced actively and successfully in the courts of Palo Alto
and neighboring counties for a number of years and he has built up a large
and profitable practice. He has a keen, analytical mind and he is a close
discerning student. He is versatile, genial and affable and a good mixer. He
is rapidly winning his way to success in his profession and to substantial
standing in the business world. The Democrat did not learn of the marriage
of Mr and Mrs Fisher in time to give them anything but a passing mention,
when the important event in their lives occurred but, though late the hour,
we desire to extend hearty, congratulations and we wish them health,
happiness and prosperity.

ECONOMIZE IN USE OF FOOD
Miss Nealie Knowles of Ames Urges Observance of Meatless and Wheatless Days

Miss Nealie Knowles of ames addressed fifty or sixty ladies of our
county at the Court House last Saturday afternoon on the subject of food
conservation. The gathering was held under the auspices of the Women's
Council of Defense of this county. The various precincts were well
represented considering the weather. Miss Knowles is a capable, ready,
earnest speaker and gave her listeners a great deal of interesting and
instructive information on the subject. She impressed upon them the great
importance of observing the meatless, wheatless, porkless, and other days
recommended by the national food administrator. The allied powers of Europe
are short in provisions and Americans, who are fully as anxious to win the
war as they are, should make a special effort to spare them as much as
possible of pork, beef, flour, sugar and other necessaries. Miss Knapp was
also present and had on exhibition various kinds of substitute foods that
could be used for the articles listed.
At the close of the exercises officers of the defense council for the
ensuing year were chosen. Mrs. W. Schroeder was elected president and Mrs.
P.J. Hannifan secretary.
