War Weddings.
The Chicago newspapers tell of long
fines of young couples standing each
day at the marriage license window in
the county building, while at the re-
cruiting offices a normal almost op-
pressive quiet prevails. This is not
because the Chicago young men are so
brave and so anxious fora fight that
they are, in great numbers, taking the
shortest and surest way to War, At
least that is not the most obvious ex-
planation of this circumstance.
Here ia the resson why hymen is dc-
ing & rushing business, not only in
Chicago, but in every city in the coun-
try, large and small, from all accounts,
There ia strong probabiiity that coo-
gress will in a few days pase a compul-
sory service bill, under which a citizen
army of a million men will be drafted.
Uupder terms of this measure, as re-
cently made public, single men be-
tween the ages of 20 and 80 years will
be taken firet, while men having fam-
ily ties are to be exempted, This rush
to the alter, then has all the sppear-
ance of a coup to evade military duty,
This does not sound very much like
the “spirit of '768 ”” and the Spirit of
61", and if it really represented the
spirit of 1917, it would be cause for
deep anxiety indeed. Let us hope
that it does not.
We wonder if the young men who
are thus seeking to avold serving their
country and the young women who
encourage and abet them in thus seek-
ing to dodge it, fully realize how aser-
fous a breach of duty they are commit.
ting? Do they know that the most
solemn obligation that can be impress.
ed upon a member of a civilized com-
munity is that of service to country ?
Do they know that it is a duty su-
preme above that of the father and
mother, wife, child, brother, sister,
sweetheart and friend? Do they
know that it is an obligation enjoin-
ed by the most sacred tradition ever
since men began to live together un-
der any semblance of government?
Realizing the solemn weight of such a
duty would two loyal and true young
people thus readily consent toshirk it ?
A Chiosgo judge hit the nail on the
head when he issued this warniog to
young women : ‘‘ Men who take this
means of evading their duty to their
country sre likely to forget their duty
to their wif."

Build to LAST, Mr. Farmer!
Don’t begin this Spring to patch up spots about the
house and barn with lumber, To do that simply means
to repeat the operation in a few years, Neither is it wise
to build new with lumber where cement can be used.
Nothing is coming into greater use on the farm than ce-
ment for building and repairing, But remember, when
thinking of buying cement don’t merely ask for “cement”,
but be sure that you get
ALPHA PORTLAND CEMENT
You will then be sure that you have the best. Concrete
work made from this brand is bound to stand the most
