JUDGE STOCKER
CUP!|O'S ALLY

Justice G. w. Stocker is the real
marrying squire" of Spokane
county. The honor for being the
marrying parson" belongs to Rev.
H. I. Rasmus, pastor of the First
Methodist church. 1t is estimated
that these two men marry over
one-half of the couples that are
'sspliced" in the county. Justice
Stocker returns his wedding re-
ports In threes and tours at a time,
while DR.. Rasmus holds them until
he accumulates 80 or 40.
Justice Stocker has a nice, easy
way of conducting marriage
ceremony. He uses the Episcopal
service as a rule, and can add as
many frills to it as the happy cou-
pie desire. He can give them
ring ceremony or any other kind
of a marriage formula they may
desire, as in his experience he has
had occasion to use all the formss
Justice Suckers popularity as a
marrying" squire" is not due to
the convenience of his office in the
basement of tn court house solely,
as he occasionally goes to private
homes to officiate at weddings.
In the six years that Justice
Stocker has been filling his pres
ent position, he estimates that he
has married 900 couples, or an
average of $50 annually. At the
clerks Office 1t is estimated that
DIR. Rasmus performs only a few
more weddings in the course OF a
