The sud len wedding is all th& more surpris ing in view of the fact that only a ew days ago Mr. Prentjss's engage ment to Iris van Suydam was for nally announced. "It is simply a case of real love krflolri'wff /?1qcc Harriers." said Mr. 'rentiss when questioned this morn- c ng. "Shamock is the girl of my a [reams. What matter if she lacks 0 luperficial culture, That is not half $ io important as genuine womanly vorth. I am sure we will be very p tappy." , r iMx. Prentiss's mother and sister 11 :ould not Ibe seen this morning, and a t i3 reported they are greatly brok- c sn up over, the affair. The marriage, it is said, is the r :ulmination of a secret romance * vhich began some months ago, * vhen the former Miss O'Day met he young millionaire as she was c lelivering a basket of laundry to his ? lome. Since that time, although he vas engaged to Miss van Suydam, * Hr. Prentiss has been seeing the e roung woman continually. - i Both Mr. Prentiss and his ibride * ire under engagement to appear at t he Opera House next Thursday and ? 'Mday when Ceil B.

Few Bankruptcies in Germany Berlin, Mar. 2.?There is a huge ecrease in the number of bankrupts i Germany. For the whole of 1921 le number was only 3,100 compared 'ith 12,700 in the prosperous year f 1913. OOD CANNING IS LEADING INDUSTRY rom Small Beginning It Has Grown to More Than A Billion Dollars. Washington, March 1.?From a nail beginning the canning of food as grown into a billion dollar in ustry. As figures go these days ven the production of a billion dol irs worth of food a year might fail > impress, but when this figure is ranslated into five to six billion ans of food it is almost more than ne human mind can grasp. An idea of the magnitude of the idustry may be gained from the itest U. S. census report (1919) on anned foods. Exclusive of molasses nd syrup the figures show a total f 3/936,069,646 cans valued at 837/926,749. Therefore taking into account lotted and canned meats, other niscellaneous meat products, and nolasses and syrup, the grand total Jbove tabulated would approximate lose to 5,000,000,000 cans. Not only does the United States tow lead the world in the produc< ion of canned foods but this food s the best of any country. Major J, I. Adams, U. S. A., of Washington, hief of subsistence, quartermaster :eneral's office, rently said: "American canned food is the icst in the world, with a few minox xceptions. The French are known 'or a certain high grade pea and he Norwegians have attracted at ention with baby carrots. I have loufot, however, where special laims are-made for foreign goods, tur own people feel confident thej ire meeting the same stand of ex :ellence. "We are about down to normal with our army food supplies now hat we have our shelves cleaned ip and the buying will naturallj ncrease. I venture to say our. pur hases will be heavier than during Igures with me for fruits, meats md vegetables but you^ can get an dea about what our army con umes' along other lines when I say hat our requirements for the com ng fiscal year will equal some hing like: I 960,000 cans assorted tnrs, 144. >00 cans blackberries, 120,000 jars tssorted jam, 86,000 cans assorted narmalade, 149,000 jars assorted narmalade, 129,000 cans assorted ireserves, 108,000 jars assorted reserves, 216,000 cans (1 gallon) yrup, 86,000 icans sardines, 84,00C mottles (1 quart) olives, 72,000 :ans \l quart) olives. All of which gives an idea of the mmense amount of canned food onsumed in the army alone. Ac ording to government statistics anned products in United States mounted in 1919 to over $800, 00,000 and at lepst from $200, 00,000 to $250,000,000 was paid hat year to the farmer by the can er for raw produce. Considering he wheat crop of 1921 which was rorth about 11,000,000,000, it is eadily seen that the canning crop f 1919 represented about one ourth of the Value of the 1921 rheat crop to th? farmer. OYAL WEDDING CROWDED HARDING OUT OF LONDON London, Mar. 2.?President H*rd ig's proposals for an American mef* lant marine ship sudsidy were owded out of several of the Lon )n newspapers by the accounts of rincess Mary's wedding to . which 'ery journal devotes many pages.. Only the biggest newspaper print ore than a brief summary of the resident's statement to Congress id the Daily Chronicle, the only on< i comment, says that America's pos ssion of a huge fleet of merchant lipping is bound to evoke some ch proposals and that nobody need : surprised. "Nevertheless,*' it adds, "the po tion created for British ship owners -themselves very hard hit by the illapse of the world's trade?is a rious one. * * * "For the moment we can only take >te of these portents, but not with it expressing profound regret that strong a lead should be given in ich quarters to what is from a world andpoint a most reactionary trade >licy."
