Let the high cost Of living soar, let
the god of war stalk over the country.
Dan Cupid manages to keep busy in
spite Of all this.

maintained its reputation as the month
of brides. During June, 1917, 64I
couples received the little slip of pa
per from Col W. A. Kroll for which
81 down was paid and the salary of
the bridegroom for the rest of his
life.
This June just flown by saw SIS cou-
pies come to the counter where Col
kroll has worn out a million pens
writing marriage licenses. Only an
Increase Of A. but when the war is
considered. which has removed thou
sands Of men from the country and
civil life, 1t is not bad at all.
The more It costs to live, the more
rent is asked for living quarters-in
fact. the harder you make IL to get
married" remarked Col. Kroll, tine
more folks want to get married, and

increased 40 per cent since 1916.
The total land under cultivation In
England is now 100000 acres greater
