LUTHU OIU, 1SOISTII
Washington, May 8.—Eleanor Ran-
dolph Wllaon, youngest daughter of
the president, and William Qlbbs Mc-
Adoo, secretary of the treasury, were
married at the White House at 6
o’clock yesterday afternoon by Rev.
8ylvester Reach of Princeton, N. J.
The wedding procession proceeded
from the main stairway Into the cor-
ridor, through the north door of the
blue room, to the platform erected In
the south bay window of the room.
Miss Sallle McAdoo led the proces-
sion, followed by Mrs. Sayre and Miss
Margaret Wilson. Miss Nancy Lane
directly preceded the bride, who was
escorted by the president. The groom,
■with Dr. Cary Travers Grayson, met
the wedding party at the altar. Mr.
McAdoo wore evening clothes and Dr.
Grayson wore his uniform. Rev. Syl- j
wester W. Beach performed the cere-
mony.
After the ceremony the wedding
party proceeded to the red room,
•where they received congratulations
and good wUhes of the company. The
Marine band furnished the music.
Supper was served at small tables In
the state dining room. The decora-
tions of the blue room were lilies and
ferns, and the decorations In the din-
ing-room were pink and white roses.
Handsome Wedding Presents.
In spite of the small list of Invited
guests the wedding presents were nu-
merous. Prominent among them were
and back. The V-shaped neck Is fin-
ished with folds of soft tulle. The
long mousquetalre sleeves are made
of tulle. The real old point lace Is
gracefully draped over the right shoul-
der to the left side of the waist and Is |
fastened vlth a spray of orange blos-
soms; the lace then continues as a
border to the long transparent tunlo
of tulle, which graduates to the side of
the skirt at the train. The sweeping
train Is three and a half yards In
length.
A cap effect bridal wreath, with
orange blossoms and long draped veil
was very effective.
The old point lace used on the gown |
Is a masterpiece and a work of art In [
lace making. It Is a part of a world-
famous collection.

The bride’s bouquet was of orange
blossoms, white orchids and lilies of
the valley. The flower girls carried
■white chip hats, hung by ribbons,
filled with flowers.
Miss Margaret Wilson’s gown was
of soft blue crape with panniers and
waist of blue tulle. The neck was
finished with a cream lace ruff and a
flowered sash completed the costume.
With this costume was worn a blue
lace hat, trimmed with pink roses and
touches bf black. Mrs. Sayre’s cos-
tume was exactly like Miss Wilson’s
except that the color was pink. The
gowns of the little flower girls were
■white, with blue and pink ribbons.
Beautiful Wedding Gown.
The wedding gown worn by Miss
Wilson is made of Ivory-white satin
and trimmed with real old point lace.
The bodice is softly draped with satin,
"which crosses in front and Is brought
to a point below the shoulders, front
and collar are edged with a rose and
green flowered narrow ribbon, fastened
in front by three ribbon buttons. Long
blue sleeves over white chiffon end in
wide cuffs of 16 rows of narrow black
braid.
The short skirt is of gabardine, with
three circular flounces starting at
sides of skirt. These are fastened at
back with a strap of gabardine at-
tached to which are four small black
silk tassels. Between the flounces,
corbeau charmeuse, to which they are
attached, showing about one Inch of
charmeuse between each flounce.
Flounces and bottom of skirt are edged
with black silk braid.
Sketch of Mrs. McAdoo.
Mrs. McAdoo Is the only one of the
three daughters of the president who
has evidenced no inclination to pursue
an accomplishment or perfect herself
In any branch of study. Like her
mother, she has talent as an artist in
oils and has spent two seasons at the
Academy of Fine Arts In Philadelphia.
She has a keen sense of humor, and
is much of a diplomat. She is the
only member of the White House fam-
ily who has a nickname. She is called
“Nell.”
In appearance, Mrs. McAdoo Is tall,
slender, with a girlish figure, and a

Copenhagen, Denmark.—How has
Denmark, a little country with less
than fifteen thousand square miles of
area, established itself as one of the
best agricultural centers In the world?
Why Is it that Denmark produces the
best butter, the best bacon, the best
eggs, that have ever been placed upon
the markets of Europe? How can this
little country export each year fifty
odd million dollars' worth of butter,
over four million dollars’ worth of
cream and milk, thirty odd million dol-
lars’ worth of the finest bacon and
eight million dollars’ worth of eggs?
Denmark has no rich mines, no great
forests, no water power. The soil,
the one resource, Is not naturally fer-
tile. In fact, Denmark Is a low-lying
expanse of wind-swept sand dunes,
with here and there small stretches
of richer soil. Much of Its more pro-
ductive soil is the result of scientific
drainage, fertilisation and rotation of
crops. Chilling winds sweep over the
country the year around, and these,
with the prevailing fogs, render the
climate an inhospitable one.
Man has been no kinder than nature
to this little country. In the eight-
eenth century thp nobility and the
crown owned all the valuable lands,
while the peasantry were either serfs
or tenants under impossible condi-
tions. Export duties made foreign
commerce unprofitable. Early in the !
nineteenth century economic condi- i
tions had only begun to Improve when *
the Napoleonic wars again spread dis- j
aster and poverty over the country.
Still a little later Denmark’s Ger-
manic neighbors to the south took
from the already small nation the
province of Schleswig-Holstein. Then
Germany, in the early eighties, built
up a high tariff wall which excluded
Danish products. The commerce upon
which the people depended for their
revenues was gone, and the country
was still again grievously stricken.
Its Present Prosperity.
Yet today, in spite of all these handi-
caps, Denmark is In proportion to its
population the wealthiest country In
Europe. Eighty-nine per cent of the i
agriculturists own their own land. Her
farmers have been called the best j
farmers and the most skilled rural
business men In the world. Rural
Denmark produces the best bacon, but-
ter and eggs ever produced; their pigs
turn feed Into pork more scientiflcal
ly than the porkers of any other na-
tion; their hens lay more eggs, and
their cows are more effective as mill:
and butter producing machines. These
farmers have worked out a system of
co-operative marketing so effective
that it is estimated that over ninety
per cent of what the consumer pays
for Danish farm products actually
’•eachee the pocket-book of the man
who produces it—a rather significant
figure compared with’ the generally I
accepted estimate that the American
farmer gets only from thirty-five to
forty-six per cent of what the city con-
sumer pays for his product.
How has Denmark reached this posi-
tion agriculturally? Why Is it that she
ran produce the best bacon, butter and
aggs? The answer seems to be: First,
because she has an efficient educa-
tional system; second, because the
government is giving aid which, while
effective, is not unduly paternalistic;
third, because of co-operation.
Danish Farmer an Educated Man.
It takes brains to raise the most
aristocratic sort of products that are
produced in Denmark. No ignorant
people could take the bleak, sandy
plains of Denmark and make great
gardens of them, gardens supporting a
I splendid aggressive, progressive, pros-
I porous race. It requires native
shrewdness to do these things, but it
requires something more. It requires
In addition scientific agricultural
knowledge, a big conception of the agri-
cultural possibilities of the country and
a, generous loyalty to state and com-
munity—an aggregate of qualities that
oone but an educated man possesses
And the Dane Is Indeed In very truth
In every sense of the word an educated
man. He has been trained to make
the best use of himself and of his en-
vironment
As a boy he was compelled by law
to attend school until he was fourteen
His teachers were mature, well-trained
men of good intellectual ability, well
paid, and, in most cases, community
leaders and organizers.
From fourteen to eighteen Is an age
when Danish boys and girls are grow-
ing physically and working at prac-
tical things, for the young Dane can-
not enter the folk high school until he
Is eighteen.
Farm Apprenticeship.
Tho prospective farmer, however,
has not stopped his educative proc-
esses during this period. There is in
Denmark a recognized system of farm
apprenticeship for the future farmer.
It is a common practise here for the
father who wishes his son to become
a farmer to put him for a period of
three years upon some of the accredit-
ed model farms of the country. Gen-
erally he stays on one farm for one
year, moving on to a second and then
a third in order that he may get dif-
ferent and broader points of view and
may see agriculture specialized along
different lines upon the different farms.
On these farms he is given an oppor-
tunity to learn, but for the most part
his time is spent in hard labor. He
learns to farm by farjning.
Folk Schools and Patriotism.
After his apprenticeship is complet-
ed he goes for at least a few months
to one of the folk high schools, which
are In the broadest sense schools of
patriotism. Inspiring lectures are
used for instruction more widely than
r.re text books. The history and liter-
ature of the country is the theme of
many an hour. Every class Is opened
with a song, either patriotic or re-
ligious, and each day extensive read-
ings upon patriotic and religious topics
are given. Practical political economy
and sociology are Included in the daily
work. No one urder eighteen may at-
tend these folk high schools, but many
an older man or woman In later life
finds there that for which there was
I no opportunity in youth. The schools
are co-educational, but are co-educa-
tional In a thoroughly segregated
way, for the men attend In winter and
the women only in the summer
months.
These schools are privately owned
and not absolutely free. The cost of
five months’ Instruction and board for
the men for the winter months is
about $55, while the women, who gen-
erally attend these schools In summer,
pay only about $30 for three months'
lystruction, including board and lodg-
ing. Small as these fees seem to be,
the state has various ways of re-
ducing the fees, especially for the sons
and daughters of the small holders.
The total number of students In these
summer and winter schools the last
few years has never been less than
ten thousand.
University Extension.
These folk high schools have, too,
| an extension form of education some-1
what Blmllar to the university exten-
j sion courses given by some of our
American colleges. The high school
professors frequently go out to the
Fchoolhouses for popular lectures upon
history and literature, and upon soci-
ological subjects. Generally a little*
association Is formed for the course of
from six to ten lecture* Possibly one
crona (twenty-seven cents) for the
year is charged, or there may be a
charge of twenty ora (four cents) for
each lecture. Here at the high school
building they also held In the fall a
special community meeting for three
or four days during which three lec-
tures per day on subjects Bimilar to
those taught in the school are given,
and in addition men of learning or re-
nown from the outside are brought in.
At this folk school the young farm-
er who has had his common school
training, with all its contact with the
r ealities of life, and who has learned
in three years’ apprenticeship how to
farm, has an opportunity to learn how-
to be a citizen and a patriot But ho
has not yet completed his school work.
Upon the farm he has learned how to
do things. He has yet to learn why
So he goes to an agricultural college
and learns the theoretical and scien-
tific why which Is back of the prac
tlcal how. This is the story of Den-
mark’s farmer in the making, through
common school, apprenticeship, folk
high school and agricultural college
One has put to travel through the ru-
ral sections of Denmark to satisfy
himself that the outcome of this
process of education Is a finished
I product of extremely high efficiency.
The State and the Farmer.
The Danish government Is not chary
! In the aid which it extends to the farm-
! er. The aid. however, la always ex-
! tended upon the fundamental theory
that the best way to help the farmer
Is to help him to help himself. Pos-
sibly In no other way has the govern-
ment so greatly furthered the Inter-
ests of agriculture as in assisting In
the acquisition by each farmer of the
soil which he tills. Thanks to the
Joint activities of the government and
the cooperative credit societies, it la
easy to buy a farm in Denmark.
If the would-be buyer has forty per
cent of the price to be paid for the
farm and all lto equipment he may
apply to a credit, society for a loan of
Btxty per cent of the value, the loan
to run for from forty-five to seventy-
nine years. Each year the farmer pays
from four to six per cent of the prin-
cipal amount borrowed. This, how-
ever, U not wholly Interest, but In-
cludes a small Installment of principal,
so that at the end of the period for
which the money was borrowed not

only has the Interest been kept up, but
the principal has been automatically
discharged.
There are, however, other forms of
loaus even more advantageous to the
borrower, particularly If he bo one of
the poorer farm laborers. If such a
laborer is anxious to become a land-
owner on a small scale he may under
certain conditions, procure a loan for
nine-tenths of the purchase price of
the farm and equipment. The condi-
tions which he must meet are: He
must have been a farm laborer for
five years (the law applies to women
on the farm as well as men); the
land must not exceed ten acres In ex-
tent, nor $2,140 In value; ho must
work the farm in a scientific manner,
and must agree to follow a proper ro-
tation of crops and, by the use of
innnures and otherwise, insure tho
continued productiveness of the land.
For tho first five years tho laborer
pays three per cent interest and noth-
ing upon the principal. After that he
begins to add a small percentage upon
the principal In order to discharge his
debt. At no time, however, does the
total annual payment for principal and
interest exceed four per cent of the
amount borrowed.
The government is back of these co-
operative credit societies. By benevo-
lent legislation it makes their organiza-
tion and operation possible; it assists
in supervision and inspection, and in
some cases it advances to the co-op-
erative society tho funds out of which
tho loans are made. There are in
Denmark about half a million families,
including those in cities and villages.
Co-operative credit societies have a
membership of over two hundred thou-
sand—that is to say, two out of every
five families in the entire country
seem to be represented in these co-
operative credit organizations. In
fact, it Is because it Is so easy to buy

Other Government Assistance.
The government has also enacted
much other legislation calculated to
serve the interests of the farmer. It
has regulated carefully the manu-
facture and sale of margarine, so that
it Is impossible to i^nport or export
or sell It under any false representa-
tion that It is butter. It has regulated
the quality of butter and has forbidden
the export of butter containing more
than sixteen per cent water, of butter
for the preservation of which anything
other than common salt is used, of
butter colored with any substance de-
rived from coal tar. All butter must
have been made from milk or cream
which has been pasteurized; It must
have been made In an Inspected dairy;
it must have upon it the Danish label
guaranteeing its quality.
Tho sanitary condition In the cream-
eries, the method of packing, and the
process of the sale of batter, are thor
oughly controlled by government au-
thority. If any dairy which has been
authorized by the government to use
a Danish label for its product violates
any regulation or law the minister of
! agriculture has the right to take away,
| either temporarily or permanently,
the authorization to use the national
trade mark. Butter from foreign
lands must not be marked in any way
to imply that it has been made In
Denmark, and those wishing to import
butter must make a declaration and
be properly registered.
Co-Operation Chief Factor.
Those familiar with the conditions
in Denmark concede that the educa-
tion of the farmer has contributed
largely to the success of Danish agri-
culture. Every loyal Dane is proud
of the government which has seen tho
great Importance of furthering the in-
terests of the farmer by every means
within its power. But no one who
knows, ever for a minute conceives
that Denmark coaid have taken her
present position as a produced of the
world’s best farm products, without co-
operative organization. It is because
of co-operation that It pays to farm
scientifically. The preductlon of the
highest grades of farm products Is
made worth while because cooperation
enables the farmer to take these high-
grade products to the profitable, In ex-
haustible, and discriminating markets
of the world. It Is cooperation that
has resulted in better farming, better
business, better living. Cooperation
has kept the farmer’s sons and daugh-
ters upon the land and has stopped the
rush to the city. Co-operation, in fact,
dominates the economic life of the
entire nation.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.
Indigestion and tho attendant dis-
comforts of mind and body are cer-
tain to follow continued use of Im-
proper food.
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook tho fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, so will the use of
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and Indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of cause and effect In
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
“Sometime ago I had a lot of trou-
ble from indigestion, caused by too
rich food. I got so I was unable to
digest scarcely anything, and medi-
cines seemed useless.
“A friend advised me to try Grape-
Nuts food, praising It highly and as
a last resort, I tried It. I am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieved me of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or-
gans so that I can now eat anything I
desire. Bat I stick to Grape-Nuts.”
