Hagle, of Loomis, and a marriage
ceremony followed Mr.. Brodey is an
old and we'll known locomotive engin-

instance a person solicited by COM
mittee to subscribe for Liberty Bonds
refused to take any on the ground that
he could get more interest by loaning
his money to private individuals. OF
course that individual, if such a state
ment was made, overlooked the fact
that should the Germans win the pres
ent war, and they would do so If all
] men were the same kind of slackers
he would not only fail to get any in
terest for his money at all, but the
| enemy would proceed to take all the
| property he has, and add swift kick
if not a bullet.
