The large number of applications for marriage IL
censes since the plans for conscption were announced
has created considerable Indignation. In some of the
city clerks offices these applicants are being branded
slackers.
Probably that is unjust in many cases. When a fel-
low has pghted his troth to girl and is working hare
to earn money for little start in life, he has practically
assumed already the obligations OF marriage, and is en-
tilted to whatever exemptions go with it.

the draft plans announced Such would be real

will first be conducted among the sons
Of their members.
Mrs Julia Farnsworth Soper was
elected permanent chairman of the
Topeka chapter; Mrs. John r. Shelton,
vice chairman; Mrs. D. J. Hathaway,
secretary, and Mrs. w. T. Newman,
treasurer The men of Topeka will
form a similar organization at the
Chamber of Commerce Wednesday
evening.
Mrs. Soper outlined the work of the
chapter First, its working members
are expected to prepare lists of eligi-
BILE young men between the ages of Is
and 20 years of age. Personal soncl-
tation of these young men, appealing
to their patriotism to join the navy,
will be one of the duties of the chapter
members
Young Women to Help.
Young women also are expected to
place themselves on record as availa-
BILE for various duties during the war.
They will be asked to volunteer for
any labor they feel fit to perform.
Great Britain was forced to take
just such step months after the war
began said Mrs. Soper. We might
as well begin it Immediately"
But in knitting wristlets, sweaters
and scarfs for the sailor lads first and
soldiers last, are the women to accom-
phsh the greatest good, it was point
ed out by Mrs Soper. She announced
that wool would be given out on GER
tain days at the Chamber of Com
merce for women, unable financially
to purchase wool. A set of rules has
been prepared governing the size of
needles to be used IN knitting, the ma
terials necessary to pass the knitting
censors employed by the league and
the sizes of the scarfs, sweaters and
wristlets. The dates that women wish
ing to aid in supplying comforts for
the soldiers and sailors will find Mrs.
Soper al the Chamber of Commerce
will be announced later.
As in the Days of '61.

gave an interesting description of the
knitting done by the women of "61
and 65' for the boys IN blue. She
predicted that a war would do the
women and men of the country great
good, in arousing patriotism, teaching
the community spirit and forcing peo-
pie to cooperate for the purpose of
gaining a common goal The pledge
signed by the members of the league
follows:
I pledge myself to think, talk and
work for patriotism, Americanism, ma
tional service and sufficient defense
to keep the horrors of war from Amer
ica's homes and shores forever.
In these days of world strife and
peril l will strive to do my share to
awaken our nation and our lawmakers
{ to the dangers of our present unde-
Tended condition so that we may con-
tinue to dwell in peace and safety and
may not have to mourn states desc
/ lated by war within our own borders
In so far as 1 am able, L will make
my home a center of American ideals
| and patriotism, and endeaVor to teach
| the children in my care to cherish and
! revere our country and its history, and
to uphold its honor and fair repute il

North Side NeUs
PLANS ALL MADE
New Canning Factory VIII Be
Started i'm North Topeka.
Farmers Near Garfield Place
Are Behind the Project.

Plans are being completed by local
business interests for the building of
a canning factory in Garfield Place,
short distance north of North Topeka
The object of the new concern will be
to utilize and market the large sur
plus crop of fruits and vegetables
raised every year by gardeners north
of the city and which often are wasted
for lack of some one to use them
The name of the new concern will
be the Kaw Valley Canning company.
Recently the men behind the project
held a meeting with the people OF
Garfield Place and vicinity The meet
ing was attended by forty men, and
the plan laid before them elected
hearty cooperation. The new COM
pany will start business on a small
scale the first year The products of
the factory will be marketed locally
thru a jobber, or directly to the stores.
The concern will handle the highest
class of canned fruits and vegetables
such as tomatoes, will buy at the pre-
vailing market price and will be able
to sell it's products at a lower rate than
similar qualities of shipped-in goods.
A comparatively small amount of cap
ital will be invested in the enterprise,
and it will be allowed to expand with
the natural growth of business.
Have Bright Outlook.
Persons who know conditions
among the gardeners on the North
side predict that the growth of such
an industry. the need for which has
| been felt for a long time. will be rapid.
While plans for the new factory are
not yet complete, the structure will be
erected this spring, to be in operation
for the crops being planted at the
present time
Fruits will be canned both in glass
and tin. A line of glass canned fruit
will be marketed largely for the pur-
pose of showing to buyers the high
grade of the product, and will be sup
plemented by a line of timed fruit OF
sell on the reputation for merit estab-
| lished. Only the highest grade OF
fruit will be used.

sailors. In addition, as members Of
the Topeka chapter of the American
Army and Navy league, they pledged
themselves to solicit personally young
men from Is to 20 years of age L"
