Henthorn-Rcppert Vernon M. Reppert, principal of the Russell high school, was married Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents at Buckner, near Kansas City, Missouri, to Miss Hazel Ilenthorn. The ceremony was attended by a small party of relatives and near friends. They came to Russell Sunday evening and Mr, Reppert proceeded with his school work Monday morning. The bride is a graduate of the Missouri State University in the clas3 of 1914 but was formerly a student at Baker University where she met her husband.

This institute can be made one of the best ever held if the farmers will take hold of it as they should and make it a success. Those who asserted that the Trego County Fair was held (or the benefit of the city of Wakeeney, cannot make thi3 plea for not attending the farmers' institute. It will bo strictly a farmers, affair and can be made a success or failure just as they desire.

The granting of franchise to the Kansas women was done under considerable protest, and with the prediction by its opponents that it would'' not better conditions. Its advocates assured us that the women could be depended on to "vote right," and we believed it. We still believe it, if they will vote at all. We realize, however, that it is prcbr.ble tho great majority ef the women who do not intend to vote.wili be the women who could bj depended on to certainly cast their ballot in the interest of best government', if th: voted at ail The loss in the ballot box will be a less to the ide cf better govern-ment, letter conditrons, better hws.
