gggzgff: 2 PDLYSCDFVE 3 219263 52431 This dear readers, is the first announcement of the results of the Bradley Bigger and Better Baby Contest. We are glad to see that there are two Beta Mus among the winners. The Betas recommend Eagle Brand Food Cadv.J for all babies. To the left is Leo Eaton, winner of first prize. Little-Leo weighs 18 pounds and has three front teeth. The judges predicted a great future for him. Baby Jimmie, winner of second prize, is Monmouth's joy and pride. Jimmie has the largest and naughtiest vocabulary of any baby of his age in the state. Little Merle Ririe, the Sigma Phi contestant, carried off third honors, and would no doubt have ranked higher, had it not been that he sucked his thumb during the judging. The picture shows Merle with his thumb in his mouth. To the right is the Alpha Pi candidate, little Swede Nelson. Swede has a remarkable growth of hair for a child so young, but it was really the innocent expression of his eyes which won fourth place for him. lil?-. 0.-i ,.,T PARAPHRASED A spinster living around the campus was shocked at the language used by workmen repairing the telephone wires close to her home.

-gage-fe 5 Pol.vsco'PE Ed-1-1-P19262 52421 DUNLOP-VELDE BREAK ENGAGEMENT AND GET MARRIED The love affair between John Dunlop, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. John Dunlop of Columbia Terrace, and Miss Idalene Velde, daughter of Domama and Dopapa Velde of Pekin, ended one week ago with the marriage of that lovely young pair of turtle doves. The wedding was solemnized at the Salvation Army citadel in Pekin, Adjutant Ami Alive officiating. Mr. John Kellogg of Malaria, Vt., isome- place between life and deathj acted as best man. In fact he was the best man Mr. Dunlop could Hnd. The bride walked down the aisle to the tune of Here Comes the Bride as played by Schmidt's band. Schmidt's band is noted for the fact that it can play in any flat provided it has the key. Three bridesmaids held up the bride's dress. Two safety pins held 'up the groom's pants as he waited for the bride to reach him. Miss Velde wore a scrapedasheen dress with a veil of tears. Mr. Dun- lop wore a black suit and gloves which he removed during the ceremony. The three bridesmaids wore lovely dresses of pink shoveon and carried bunches of dontchaforget-me-nots. The ceremony was one of the simplest ever to be performed at the Pekin citadel. As the vows were read the soft sweet music of Schmidt's band playing Lead Kindly Light wafted o'er the room. Those wonder- ful words Wilt Thou floated softly out of the Adjutant's loud speaker and the bride Wilted. After the ceremony the two contestants retired to the bride's residence where a magnificent wedding breakfast was served. Great platters of Liv- erwurst and Wienerschnitzel laid on every table. The fight between Dunlop's relation and the Velde relation was the only incident to mar the ceremony. The fight started when the Velde relation beat Dunlop's relation to the table. The Dunlops said it wasn't fair because the Velde relation purposely sat in the back of the citadel so that they could get out faster and eat more. If the groom's relation had not been good pushers they would have had to wait like the bride's relation did. The young couple will live at Pekin after they return from their honey- moon. It is thought that Mrs. Dunlop, Jr., can find a job easier in Pekin than in Peoria. . i0-?.T Mr. Jordan Cat the drug storej-Did you kill any moths with those moth-balls I sold you? Chuck Longenecker-No. I tried for three hours, but I couldn't hit one.
