Our state solons have voted new
kink in the marriage law which puts a
stop to the keep-it quiet wedding.
Hereafter when you want to take I'M
to yourself a wife you proceed to the
county clerk. He posts notice of your
application, together with the name Of
the bride-to-be, upon bulletin board.
If no one complains. you are at liberty
to marry at the expiration of five days.
However, if her father does object
you'll have to take your troubles to the
county judge, for the legislature has
clothed that office with authority to de-
termiue who shall and who shall not
marry. Also objections to your mar
riage are not limited to her parents,
anyone can make them.
Secrecy is prevented by a section
which provides a $50 fine for county
clerks who fails to divulge facts. Incl
dental to the granting of licensee, to
lynx-eyed reporters.

lean rolling stock viii furnish the am
munition, food supply and innumerable
other things necessary for efficient oc-
cupation of battle line.
When an American division of 20, 000
men reaches France, it will need 80. 0oO
tons of transport. four tons for every
man, Eighty trains of 1000 tons ca
pacity each would therefore have to be
provided for each such division For
200, GOO men 800 trains would be neces-
sary.
These figures Indicate what ire
mendous task faces the United States
in the matter of improving the trans
portation facilities of both France and
Russia. II is appreciated better when
it is remembered that entire railroad
systems must be built and old systems
practically be rebuilt before Russia will
be able to use her maximum strength
against Germany, Austria Hungary and
Turkey.

Thoughtles4 Roger Bellamy reused
up, aflame with the fires of rivalry, as
he entered the home Of his betrothed
wife. He was too free and welcome a
visitor to stand on Formally and he
did, not ring nor wait for servant TO
announce him. He was very happy,
for the wedding day was only a month
distant. He had won the belle OF the
town, and was proud Of It, He loved
Ruth Trescott with true, deep fervor,
so his heart was singing all the time,
those happy, happy days.
"Good-by, and may heaven bless
youl"
He had entered the front parlor and
the words halted him. 1t was then,
seeking their source, that his brow
corrugated, his breath came quick. In
the rear room stood Justin Dacre, and
near him Lois. Her face was sym
pathetic, but sorrowful. She put out
OBTAINING hand She drew her de-
parting visitor nearer TO her. She re-
moved n rose from her bosom; she

spoke some words to him. Then she
lifted her face TO his own and kissed
him tenderly, with tears In her eyes,
and Justin Dacre dashed away and a
sob was wrung from his lips as he
hurried from the home.
Lois had sunk to n chair. Her face
was buried in her handkerchief. Bel

JUSTICE.

1t some times seems as if our legis-
lators at Washington were determined
TO vent their spite on newspapers and
magazines at every opportunity. Yet
occasionally "a good word is heard for
the publisher even in our halls of Con
gress. No better spokesman for the
press could be found than Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, owner of the
Omaha World-Herald and for many
years successful publisher During a
recent discussion in the Senate, Mr.
Hitchcock said IL have been news
paper man for thirty years and have
never found in any community Of any
size the lack Of some paper that would
stand up for the public interest in an
emergency Today the newspapers are
giving thousands of dollars worth of
space gratuitously and enthusiastically.
Ten million dollars would not suffice for
the publicity which can be got free in
the next six months.
And while the newspapers and mag
asines are giving up their space so lib
orally notwithstanding the blank
stock costs more than twice what it
did before this eussed war broke out
TO aid the government, stimulate en-
listments, and promote the general
welfare of the country, few narrow
minded Congressman are seeking to
double and quadruple the postage rates
that legitimate publications have been
paying for the last quarter of cen
fury. Wipe out the press and you
have struck a blow at the government
itself. Legislators, consider this fact.

THE FLAG.

THE FLAG
1t adorns halls of justice;
1t beauties hearthstones;
1t gladdens the schoolhouse;
1t graces the pulpit.
THE FLAG
1t challenges error;
1t defies tyranny;
1t symbolizes justice;
1t champions truth.
THE FLAG
Palaces flutter it;
Cottages smile with it;
Avenues thrill with it;
By-ways glow with it.
THE FLAG
Children greet it;
Youth defends it;
Parents adore it;
Patriots kiss it.
THE FLAG
1t floats for you;
1t flies for me;
1t waves for America
1t signals the world.
THE FLAG
We love it;
We salute it;
We live for it;
And, if need be, die for it.
