Monday is the day when the old
soldiers 90 to the County Clerk and
have their pension papers signed up,
and in a few days they will have
the amount that has been allotted
to each one as his case may have
been passed on. They are all hop
ing that soon the dollar-a-day bill
will get through, and each will
share with his brother. We believe
In the dollar-a-day bill, but think
it is too limited. 1t should be ex-
tended to take In the noble heroes
of peaceful days, such as the police
man. the fireman, and most of all
the newspaper workers. We think
it would be we'll to extend it to all
who are supporting families under
the present high cost of living.
The Rochester Sentinel deplores
the fact that the records of the

the business, and then a falling of,
and no, more were issued during the
month, five only being the number.
The editor says Something seems
to be wrong, and it leap year, so
it falls to the lot of the young
women to get busy and stir Cupid
up bit" Here in Marshall it
was not quite so bad, as the record
shows fourteen in all were licensed
to marry, but even here the officials
seem to think they should have
done a bigger business in this line
Will the girls please look after this
matter and see what can be done.
Don't let the business drag. Mr.
Kitch, the County Clerk, is arrang-
ing some sort of special inducement
for this month, with view to make
his office more popular, and we hope
to make the announcement soon.
Watch for it.
