War Does Not Scare Jasper Youths Into Matrimony.

Although the larger cities of the country and many other smaller ones are reporting unprecedented runs on the county clerks for marriage li? censes, Jasper couhty appeans tu be one of the places where the young men and women are not bothered by the war with Germany and the probabilities of the draft measure going into effect shortly. Since the declaration of war with Germany, thousands have applied in Chicago, while Crown Point, the Gretna Green of Indiana, has also had scores apply for papers, giving them the right .to marry. County Clerk Nichole and his assistants have not had to work overtime and during the past few days there have been no licenses issued, which that patriotism is not a lacking quality in the makeup of our youths.
