CUPID LAUGHS At
THE GOD OF WAR

BERLIN, Nov. 16.-"War marriages"
will materially increase the number of
marriages for Berlin this year. When
the war broke out many officers and
in some asses privates in the reserve
and landwehr decided to marry on the
eve of their. departure for the front,
with the result that August, 1914,
shows a total of marriages for Berlin
of 5793 as against 1909 for the same
month of last year. In the mobiliza-
ton week, August 2-8, 3941 marriage
contracts were made, of which the
largest number was due to the out
break of the war. The first seven
months of 1914 showed 1920 mar
riages as against II, 500 in 1918.
1t is believed here that the number
of marriages in Berlin due to the
war is not far below 1850. Some of
them had been planned for the au-
tumn and winter seasons, and it is
expected that for this reason the av-
erage for these months will fall be-
low normal. This has already been

1t is better for a community to spe-
cialize on a given breed of animals
so that carload shipments to market
will be of uniform types of animals
and, therefore, command the best
prices.
With this point in view, concerted
action should be taken by commun-
ity to obtain the desired breed. By so
doing the cost will be reduced to
minimum More frequently than not,
one can find no one person in each
community who is able or willing to
put up the money to purchase pure
bred sire. But it is easier and more
practical to get a group of farmers 70
enter into the expense, This should
apply not only to one kind of live stock
but to all lines.
In marketing the live stock those
VINO co-operated in breeding a given
tyne of animal should cooperate in
marketing. The more animals that are
marketed at time, the better the
shipping facilities and, therefore, low
er cost. Where there is union of ship
pers, thee will be strength in deal
ing with every marketing problem.
In pork production, especially in the
southern part of the state, there is
need of cooperative enterprise in cold
