the
wounds of D. Cupid is Jack W.
county - recorder, who, makes das: most of the marriage licenses in Greene county McKee has been writ - ing them she the first day of Janu- ¡ary. 1927, and his recollections are worthy of note.
According to McKee, the greatest
-
number of applicants for licenses are nervous. Some couples seem to lose their courage momentarily and stand around the office for a time regaining L
- -
it. All that time no one is being hila- led, for a couple bent on procuring a Heense can be spotted from the start.
Most of them buy the license and hurry out, glad to get it over with as soon as possible. Many out-of-town I couples are married at the court
house, and of the total of marriaged about 10 per cent take place there.
Law Trips Some Unfamiliarity with the laws gov- erning the procuring of licenses brings disappointment to some. Mc- Kee citer arveral 'instances where one or both of the pair were under age and had come from neighboring towns without the parents' written permis- sion. In such cases the license was denied until the couple returned with the necessary sanction. The law fori bida girls under 15 being issued il-
-
censes, but McKee has issued two or ! three of them to girls 15 years old with parents' approval.
Going to the other extreme. McKee recalla that a license has been made out to a pair 83 and 81 years old.
Although there is no law demanding that he work overtime, nevertheless McKee keeps a pad of blanke at his home at 063 North Lyon avenue in case a request for a license Is made af:c: Hotr. He has :pace ..: nam there and has been aroused from hits sleep four or fi e times during his administration as -ccorder to help ; some happy couple toward wedded bliss.
Some Are Returned
Evidently it is within . ...
; back ofp .c :: att: the n.si : . det cense is obtamed. . for allice the first ---- day of 1927 four of them have been returned. obviously because of! ! the pair had a change of heart.

Many of them in Kansas City and Jack- son county are not even subscribers to The Mis- souri Democrat. at the nominai subscription price of $2 a year.

WHO'S WHO Among Springfield Clergymen
A N ILLUSTRIOUS family le behind the Rev. Lewis R. Anschutz, pro- tor of St. John's Episcopal church. 1412 Benton arenue. An uncle was the noted Carl An- arhulz. muaician of International reputation. and Phillip Atschutz. who is claimed to have Invented the phonograph. was uncle to Lewis Anachute. father of the Springfield pastor. Mr. An- arhuts la a pariah Anschutz and welfare work- er of wide experience. When he re- cently entered a protest at being bar- red twice from the Greene county poor farm. he hut voiced a willingness to help unfortuneten that has taken him into New York's east side and caused him to spend five years among the Illiterate cotton pickers and cot- ton gin hands of North Carolina.

The Rev. Mr. Anschutz han but two hobbles. One is to grease and gas hla car, and to start out on the open road, preferably for s point. 1000 or 2000 miles away. The other is a more serious hobby. however. That is his parich and welfare work. To It he devotes almost all of his time.
Worked In New York
It Was born in New York Cer and there he received his ecclesiastical ed- ucallon, being graduated from the General Theological seminary. It was only natural that his major interest should be in New York and he dived into the vice and poverty and mleery of the east alda as assistant to Bishop Robert I, Paddock, who now la bishop of Oregon for the At. F. faith

- Mtr. Anschutz'a firat parish work wes at Bernardaville. N. J. It is In- teresting to note that the minister who is devoting his energies in an Ozarks city of 60,000 was thrown with a congregation which numbered alich finsocial luminaries aa J. P. Morgan. Jr., Haley Fiat, president of ** e Ar++rygestitan !! fr Insurance com- ; pan). How dean. and Jonu . .... Ing, builder of the Brooklyn hridge When a parish house was needed alx of the congregations each gave $10 .- 000 eplece. It was a large and rich parish. Stock brokers and business
men from Wall street were numerous In the congregation.
Other Welfare Work
From thete Mr. Anschutz went to Kramerton. N. C., where he became pastor of Bt. Phillips M. E. cburch. The town was owned by a rich man who contrived to require his workers to live in comparative moral and physical cleanliness. hut Mr. An- Techuts found conditions very bad among the poor class in his parish.
He tried to teach them how to live. to read and to write. Simple lessons In hygiene were beaten, into their consciousness by repitition, but were not heeded. Finally Mr. Anschuts ar- ranged to provide many of them with bathfilha. The North Carolina "crack -
era' used these in which to store coal and wood. After five years Mr. An- schutz admitted that little progress eve: could be expected.
Next he went to Cumberland. Md .. in charge of a larce parish there for four years, and then came directly to Springfield. Since his arrival a year and a half ago, the congregation has grow'n considerably. the Sunday achool hea Increased In 75 children and a great amount of work has bert. done In remodeling and refinishing St. John's church.
During the Imat year about $3000 has been apent on repairs, hut the church has not a penny of debt. A beautiful rose window. rival of Euro-| pean churches in everything but size. Is a striking feature of St. John's church. It has been compared in pattern and material with the great rose window in the Cathedral of No- tre Dame. Farla, by architects.
Mr. Anschutz was ordained deacon by the Rt. Rev. Edwin A. Fen :- t bishop of North Carolina, At Char- lotte, December 24. 1922, altd the fol- lowing year was ordained priest in Trinity church, Baltimore, Md. hy the Rt. Rev. Gardner Murray. presid- ing bishop of that church.
The Rev. Mr. Anschutz, at the mo- ment, Is succumbing in the call of the open road. and is preparing for a long trip back to New York state within a short time.
