PAGE FJLV tt ISS EUNICE ABBOT !D BBLGIYIKI WED IN PITTSBURG THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 31, 1920 ' Ms Eunice Abbots the charming young daughter ot Mrs. Vernon Clark, and Reverend G. D. Yoakum, pastor of the First Congregational church of this city, were married at high noon yesterday at the Pittsburg home of Clarence Yoakum, a brother of the groom. The announcement of the "wedding will be of more than ordinary interest, owing to the prominence and popu larity of the couple and the further fact that it will come as a surprise, only the relatives having been advised that the event was to take place. Miss Abbot left for the east several weeks ago, stating that she would summer with relatives in Muncie, Ind. Her sis ter. Miss. Adelaide Abbot, who also was visiting relatives in the east, was pres ent at the wedding, as was Miss Edith Abbot of New York, an aunt of the bride and a lecturer at the Metro politan Museum of Art, who will be hostess to the young folks in her New York home after they conclude their honeymoon in Michigan. They expect to return to Phoenix in the autumn and will be formally at home at the Clark residence, 19 East "Willetta street, after October 1. The bride, who is an exceptionally attractive girl, attended the Northern Arizona Normal school after complet ing her high school course in this city. She later became a member of the teaching staff of the Phoenix schools, having taught at the Lincoln school, '. where she was regarded as an excep tionally clever instructor, liked equally well by the students and school -officials. Mr. Yoakum was graduated from a theological seminary in Chicago. He has had wide experience as a minister in the east and middle west. He has been connected with the Phoenix church for a year and his influence for rood has made itself felt to the mem bers of his congregation. Mr. Yoakum is broad in his views, and his keen un derstanding of human nature has made his work telling in this community. o ' NOT DE-LUXE From the.

Howe, the first member of the tax commission to return from the four days' session held in Douglas. C. M Zander, chairman of the commission. and Rudolph Kuchler, who also was in attendance, were expected home late last evening, having motored from the border town. Mr. Howe could not say enough in praise of the eighth annual conference. which he claimed was greater in point of attendance and for information gath ered than any previous year. The facts brought out at this meeting will be used by the commission in arrivirfg at conclusions when it sits as a state board of equalization next week. The report is at present . being transcribed and will be placed before the board when it begins the deliberations on Monday. At this time it will fix the state tax rate, which will be submitted to the boards of supervisors, and on the following week the county offi cials will make their rate for the coun ties, which added to the state tax will make the total to be collected. Every board of supervisors in the fourteen counties of the state was rep resented, at the conference, which also was attended by every county assessor, In addition to officials, tax heads of various corporations were present and numerous other citizens interested in tax matters. ....... J. T. Hood of Douglas, representing the Arizona Cattle Growers association. appeared in behalf of the cattlemen, asking for a reduction of taxes, and Judge F. W. Perkins of Coconino coun ty appeared in behalf of the sheepmen. asking for a decrease in the amount taxed. One of the findings that came as a surprise to the delegates was that the new automobile tax law has resulted in practically double the number of cars listed than any previous year. Under the law the car owner must show his tax receipt before securing nis automobile license number. Mr. Howe stated the social features of the conference were delightful. The chamber of commerce of Douslas en tertained- the city's guests with a din ner at Agua Prieta and the Copper Uueen conducted . the tax experts through the smelter. The inspection was a revelation to many of the mem- Ders rrom counties far remote from the mining districts. . . . o MOVE AGAINST FAKE ANTIQUE 8 Prom the Detroit News.
