That the course of true love rune
moothly for American soldiers In
J France Is attested by no less authority
than the Splker. the official paper edited
and published by members of the Eight-
enth Railway Engineers In France, In
which regiment many Portland men are
Included but the nuptials are another
matter. The editor of the Splker ex
plains this little detail in the following
article:
"Qettinir married In France is much,
more difficult for Yankee soldiers than
- getting engaged. Romances there are
many and plighted vows there are some,
but marriages there are very few.
Aathoiitlet DUeoarage Romances
' "There are many obstacles thrown In
the pth of the 'uoldat American' who
would take unto himself a French girl
as a wife. First, there are the Anter
ican authorities who are frowning upon
romance. They insist . that this is a
man's war and the soldier's energies
should be wholly devoted to the flag.
While.' not absolutely refusing to give
their consent to some marriages, they
have done all In their power to discour
age th project until, at least, 'apres la
guerre.'
"But the greatest stumbling block the
would-be benedict have. encountered la
the French law requiring that birth
certificates of the contracting parties
be submitted with application for the
marriage license. No union American
French is possible without them. At
best this delays the ceremony. By the
time the bridegroom sends to the States
.for the needed document and receives it.
more than likely his regiment has been
. moved out of the bride's community.
Permissions are rare and hard to get.
Consequently there's generally a French
woman left "waiting at the church"
and the wedding bells fail to ring.
Birth CertlflfaU Ii Barrier
'The birth certificate barricade has
appeared almost Insurmountable to some
of the wooers in the F.lghteenth; . At
least one of them, ha iiig received in
turn the coveted "yes" from the de
moiselle, her parents, his skipper and
' others in authority, encountered the
birth certificate ultimatum and sent
home "lor the papers." He lives In San
Francisco. lie had forgotten about the
1906 fire which destroyed the public
records, but the letter from home re-
minded him Of It. . He had no birth
'certificate and never, in this war.- will
' b able, to convince the French author
ities that he was actually born. He's
all If .singled 4 ,
''But in war as" In peace 'love will
find a way,' and despite the obstacles
thrown in his path Cupid evidently is
. determined to draw down his share of
the spoils-in the great world oonfllct
now raging. '
"It would be Idle to estimate the num
ber of "apres la guerre" promises there
are floating around France today. But
no inconsiderable per cent ot the French
belles will confide to yoa that they have
been promised a trip to Ameriqae'
when the kaiser is licked. Even " how
they have visions of a cosy flat In Har
lem or life on a Montana ranch. Some
of these are boneet-to-goodnese promises
and no doubt when the troop ships et
through sailing westward the vessels
that follow will carry many of France's
extra women to become the wives of
former American soldiers."

Announcement
The Mutual Creamery Company has purchased the T. S. Townsend Cretmery business
located at East Seventh and Everett streets, together with all its country plants and stations.
The sale Includes the trademark, good-will and all fixed assets' pertaining to same.
The main office of the company has been moved to the Townsend plant, and the former
Mutual location at East Tenth and Burnside streets will be used as a storage and for light
manufacturing.
Mr. W. W. Hamilton will continue as manager of the Mutual Portland plant, and will be
assisted in the office by Mr. Ed J. Cashin, as sales and credit manager, and L. C Kramer as
territory superintendent, and in the factory by J. Palmore as foreman.
" -
The consolidation of the two businesses includes nearly all of the trained employes of
both concerns. v
The negotiations between the above parties, that have now terminated, have been pend
ing for several months past, when the T. S. Townsend Creamery Company gave A. P. Hen
ningsen a formal option on Its business. Mr. Henningsen in turn sold the Creamery part of
the business to the Mutual and the ice cream part to different parties.
It has been reported that the Henningsens are large stockholders tn the Mutual Cream
ery Company and we here wish to correct such report as erroneous, and to say further that
no stock is held directly or indirectly by anybody that is engaged in a similar business to
ours, also that our company is operating on a Mutual plan, whereby the producer stock
holders receive all net earnings over and above 3 per cent on sales, and that our company
now has several hundred producer stockholders.
The interest of the Mutual Creamery Company in this transaction has been handled by
Mr. A. Jensen, general manager, who came with the company on March 1st, Of this year,
and who for many years headed the California Central Creamery of San Francisco, and also
is the founder of the Jensen Creamery Machinery Company, of Long Island City, New York,
and Oakland, Cal.
Mr. A. Jensen decided to cast his lot with his brother. W. F. Jensen, the president of
the Mutual, so that the latter could take up important work for the National Council of
Defense as director of Commercial Economy and Commissioner for increased crop production
for the state of Utah.
Mr. A. Jensen is too well known in the dairy world to require introducing, and the
Oregon creamery interests can henceforth look for a progressive programme.
