Those who happened to be on Main street this afternoon, however, witnessed u demonstration of thoughtfulncss on the part of the friend: of Mr. and Mrs. Franz A, St of fern' nee Miss Vo nlta Hamilton, who left in their car for Shasta.-Springs an hour afler their marriage. Whereas, many of the oars of bridal couples are often Tampered with so that they refuse lo budge at the time when they should carry their occti- j pants beyond the shower of rice and ! old shors, the roadster of the Stof- tens' was equipped by their friends to assure them a sale und easy pas sage. ,fo save them the inconvenience of blowing tho horn of the car, these friends had secured to the car in many Ingenious and inuccessable po sitions a few dozen cans calculated to awaken and warn any other motorist on the road. To Insure them a safe trip, license tags of Washing ton, Oregon and California were fastened at front and roW. Inas much as the friends did not know how long they inlnht be gone, the tags of several years were supplied, dragging a little In the roadway and assisting the cans in clearing the way. In honor rf tho occasion the ear was practically repainted, dozens of cuplds, arrows, hearts and kindred symbols being placed over tho hood and body In white, red and yellow paint. Over all was strewn a plenti ful supply of rice, that they ipight, not be hungry on the road. The friends 'hope that with the precau tions they have taken, all will go well on the trip.
