Idaho Couple Observes 80th Wedding Anniversary; Nation's Longest Married Sagle, Ida. (U.R) Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Hartley offered a special prayer of thanks today as the one-time childhood sweet hearts marked their 80th wed ding anniversary to rule as the nation's longest-married couple. The observance was a quiet one, tempered by concern over the illness of "Grandpa" Hartley whose failing health requires a 24-hour bedside vigil. The oldsters, both 96, have been living here since 1937 at the home of their "baby" son, Leo, who is nearly 60. Another son, James, 76, helped celebrate the anniversary. Frank, the third living son, visited for sev eral weeks this summer before returning to his home at Sa tanta, Kan. Well Satisfied "I have plenty to be thankful for," said the sprightly Mrs. Hartley. "Eighty years is a long time, but I wouldn't trade a minute of it." ' And that goes back to a chilly day in 1875 in London county, Tenn., when Ben rode up to Dru silla Keith's house, put his sweetheart on his horse and rode off to Lenore City to be married. They were only 16, but they headed west for years of pioneer farming in Eastern Kansas at Tibloe, later known as Bonner Springs. In the 1880s they moved to the western plains of Kansas. "During the good years wheat grew so abundantly the elevators were filled to overflowing, but the dust storms ruined the land and we had to leave." Slight Misunderstanding "I used to wear overalls when I went horseback riding out there in the open because it was such a job to ride side-saddle with all those skirts," she said. "Of course Mr. Hartley didn't like the idea so if I had my real full riding skirt I'd be very prop er until I was sure I was out of his sight before I'd ride astride. "That's about as close as we ever came to an argument," she said. "We got all that out of the way before we got married, and it's the best way to stay married." She figures that's good advice for the younger generation, but she also says young folk should appreciate what they have at home. "That's where the heart is and no amount of running around will change that," she said. Open As Usual Today Take theja mil out fb TURKEY and BAKED HAM DINNERS at Regular Prices!

While the average fans think that the hard work for a coach ends the final day of the grid sea son, actually that's when it really begins.

He said that 59 cents out of the tax dollar in Medford, goes to the schools. Hawver also reported that value of property in the county exempt from taxes is $42,620,310. "If some people don't pay, others have to pay for them," he remarked. The deputy assessor, who an swered questions after listing facts and figures, said that the people's own' vote will deter mine whether there is a boost in taxes next year. He said that people are welcome to come to the assessors office and see the appraisal cards on their prop erty. The luncheon meeting was at the Jackson hotel.
