AFTER LOVERS COIN
MARRYING JUDGE ADVERTlsEs
IN STREET CARS.
EnterprlsIno Clayton, No. Justice Of
Peace Out for Dollars Of cupid's

st. Louis.-Justice of the Peace A.
II. Werremeyer, of Clayton, has Gre
ated no little stir in his section Of
country by his rather original way
of Advertising himself as one author
lied TO perform marriage ceremonies.
Justice Werremeyer is out for the
dollar and as many of them as he
can get, so he is advertising in the
coed old-fashioned way. The justice
hasn't had his signs painted on barns
or fences as yet, but in the cars of
all lines running into Clayton he has
put up large cards with the follow
ing wording and arrangement:
.......
Go choose the one you love the best, {:
Then come to Clayton for the rest" ;
JUDGE A. II. WERREMEYER, I:
Justice of the Peace. {:

Residence, Olivette; Office, County [:
Court House, clayton, Mo. /:
Back of this enterprise of the Clayton
magistrate is the increased cost Of a
marriage license in st. Louis. A few
weeks ago the price was raised from
81 to $3.50. In Clayton it remains
at one dollar. There has been a per-
ceptible increase in the number of
marriages at Clayton since the new
schedule became effective.
Il am going to let the people know
that l am in the business" said JUS
tice Werremeyer. Il want my share
of this revenue from performing mar
riage ceremonies, and l am going
right after it. People must come here
on one of those car lines, and they
will learn that l am prepared for
them. Besides, / think that getting
people to come here to be married
will be good advertising for Clayton.
They will look around and see what
a fine town we have"
Heretofore Justice PRESS has held
the championship as marrying JUS
tice." Two other justices who are
pleased to oficiate are Frank Strobe
and l. w. Campbell. Including We're
meyer, there are four justices who
can be found at the Clayton court
house at practically any hour of the
day. Two Clayton ministers, DR..
North of the Methodist church, and
DIR. Langtry. of the Presbyterian,
have shared in the matrimonial fees,
couples being ent to them by friends
at the court house.
Judge G.. A. Wurdeman, Of the pro
bate court, has presided at a sufficient
! number of weddings to attract atten-
| tion.
Justice Werremeyer isn't saying
what he thinks his advertising will
do to reduce the business of his riv-
ais, but his plans are of a substantial
character. The advertising is to be
continuous, with a change every
month.
The verse on the first card was
chosen from a large collection Of
verses. For next months card the
verse will be as follows:
where are you going, my pretty maid?'
II am going to Clayton" she b~lushingly
said.
May 1 go with you, my pretty maid?'
IF to the Justice you'll CO. she said.
Nor are these simple black ant
white cards. That would be too con
ventional for the justice, who hat
his first cards printed in blue ant
red on a white background.

FOR
AN INVASION
Townspeople to Hold Meet
ing to Organize Home
Guards.

Our people are excited over the pros
poets of a war with Japan. In the
event of hostilities they fear that the
japanese will surely head for the most
fertile portion OF our country, which IS
Pembroke township, of which Hopkins
is the commercial and social center.
To prepare for the invasion and head
off the invaders the patriotic citizens
Of Hopkins met at the town hall sat
urday night 10 organize home guards
OF infantry and cavalry. Mayor Wat
son was chosen captain of the infant
~, and Elmer Smith, who got as far
as the county seat in the Spanish war.
was selected as captain of the cavalry.
Bob Mckay pointed out that as most
of the horses and mules OF Pembroke
township are mortgaged that the cav
airy must necessarily be for defensive
purposes. AS the Illinois statutes stops
the removal of chatteI property from
the county, it would prevent the cav
airy from maneuvering outside Of the
prescribed limits.
ITO hell with the law when a great
emergency arises" exclaimed the war
| like Elmer Smith. If the Japs come
within twenty miles of Pembroke wen
gallop out and eat 'em alive" which
blood thirsty boast was vehemently ap-
plauded by the patriotic assembly.
"Au right" feebly protected Bob Nc
Kay, " go ahead then and commit the
double felony and cannibalism and run
ming chattel property outside the coun-
~ limits. but from what I know of
you fellows, both infantrymen and cav
airy men, when you see the Japanese
troops headed by old General Omaha,
or whatever his name is, you will hot
foot back into Pembroke township
faster than you did out of it."
Both Bob and Elmer are criticised,
Bob for rejecting on the courage Of
Pembroke people, and Elmer for his
'eat 'em alive" boast. Some fear that
this unfortunate phrase may lead 70
international complications. Others
however hold that II the Japs take il
in its literal sense they will steer clear
of Pembroke altogether
Bob Mckay don't intend to take any
chances on the protection of the home
guards in the expected Japanese war.
He is therefore repairing the bomb
proof cave which served him ~during
the war with Spain. While he didn't
have to use 1T as a refuge against the
hostile Spanish. yet it reformed good
service as a cyclone shelter. Bob and
his family, safely lodged in the cellar,
had the satisfaction of viewing from
the coming tower their two hired men
and their neighbors holding a ROOT
garden reception in the air.

WITH THE EDITORS
Divorce and Crime.

The address OF Rev. W. E Edgin.
chaplain of the Indiana reformatory at
Jeffersonville. delivered at Warsaw, is
worthy of more than passing notice
for what was said in regard to divorce
and its relation to crime.
Mr.. Edgin among other things, all
Of them pointed, said that fully 80 per
cent Of the young men confined in the
reformatory were driven TO criminal
acts because of the fact that in the
early stages of their lives their par
ents became separated or divorced.
AS there are 1850 convicts at Jeffer-
sonville ii can easily be seen that the
number thus affected is not small by
any means. This is a phase Of the d.
vorce question which Is seldom given
enough attention. As a rule our first
concern is of the separated couple,
when as q matter OF fact in cases
where there are children the children
are the ones vitality affected. When a
home is broken up. when father and
mother separate, IT is little wonder that
the children go wrong. With such an

A year ago a Toledo judge sentenced
a group of ice dealers to the work
house for violating the Ohio antitrust
law. Yesterday another Toledo judge
imposed workhouse sentences on TWEEN
tv-three leading citizens engaged in
the lumber business. 1t looks as If they
will be compelled to serve, for the prog
ress of the appeal in the ice trust
cases holds out small hope that the
law will be held unconstitutional.
Judge Morris evidently does not agree
with Attorney General Bonaparte and
the department of justice. Instead OF
appointing receivers for the lumber
companies with which the convicted
men are connected, 10 the injury Of
their unfortunate stockholders, he goes
after the guilty, not the innocent.
One does not need to be the seventh
son of a seventh son to predict that
the Toledo way will be more effective
in discouraging trust illegality than the
Bonaparte way.-New York Globe.

example before them what else could
be expected?
Mr.. Edgin was speaking before a
Methodist audience and he did exceed
ingly we'll to urge that the question of
divorce be taken up by that church.
The various denominations could do
much toward alternating the evil If
they would only take a decided stand
on the question. The attitude OF the
Catholic church relative TO divorce Is

well to assume as strong position
