Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-05-14

Dear Mrs. Thompson: % Could
a couple wishing to marry and keep
it a secret for some time get IL
cense in a nearby city and have a
minister marry them there, or do
they have to get the license in their
home town or county? II they get
license here will 1t be published
or can it be kept from the papers?
90 Which is the proper way to
pay the minister, and how much is
usually given? HAPPINESS.
The surest way to keep the mar
rage a secret would be to marry
in another town and county if it is
convenient The city papers get
hold of practically all the marriage
licenses. Make the request when
you get your license that it be kept
out of the papers.
~ A minimum fee to minister
is SIS. If there is best man the
groom gives him the money to give
to the minister. If there is no best
man the groom hands the money to
the minister after the ceremony or
mails him a check.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I am going
with a young man of %. He says
engagement ring, but he never takes
me out in public. When l suggest
going to shows he always turns it
off some way l love him, but l do
not want to marry him as long as
he acts this way. He came to this
city a stranger and has been here
almost year now. / met him soon
after he came Every one seems TO
Ike him and he is quite popular
now What do you think is the
trouble? WORRIED.
Have the man himself answer
your question, because he is the
only one who knows. 1t looks as
if he did not have the money to
take you places or else likes to save
so well that he will not spend for
amusements. l would never advise
a girl to marry a man who is miser-
ly. 1t may be, however, that he
simply enjoys your company too
much to go anywhere and he does
not realize that you want to be en-
tertained as well as do the enter

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A soldier
boy to whom l am engaged sent me
a ring by mail. Please tell me on
which hand l should wear it.
PUZZLED.
If you have not an engagement
ring, wear it on the third finger of
your left hand. But if you already
have a ring, wear it wherever you
think it looks best.
Dear Mrs Thompson: Is it all
RIGHT for girl to ask a boy to go
different places with her if he
doesn't ask her? Some boys just
come to see girls and never go any
where. BABY DOLL.

The reichstag has Just heard from
Minister of Marine Won Capelle a very
unconvincing statement about sub
marine Successes. The reichstag, too,
is beginning to realize that the gov

Americas ability to send great army
to France, is being shown to be the
greatest blunder Of the war
With the failure Of the submarines
and the failure OF the German militar-
lists to foresee what Americas part in
the war would mean. it is no wonder
that members Of the reichstag are be-
coming skeptical of the value OF Hin
denburg's recovery at so tremendous
blood cost OF territory he voluntarily
abandoned a year ago.
Won Hindenburg's reputation may
even now be on the verge of collapse
There is no doubt but that his un-
paralleled prestige at least is begin
