WHY IS Is Too Young to Marry.

The governor of Maryland has created
q great hue and cry by declaring that no
woman ought to marry under the age
of 24
Girls who are certain at IS that they

ION summation of happiness, Eut these
mDa tent hedgelings are the exceptions.
Everybody else agrees with Gov War
field.
i woman has no right TO marry until
she realizes the grave responsibilities of
married life. Its the silly little kittens
who walk into matrimony with their eyes
shut and wake up some day to find life
unbearable who are responsible for much
<,f the notion that marriage is a failure.
So their marriage is a failure-as any
other career would be into which they
walked blindly with no knowledge of its
requirements and no fitness to meet
shem.
Marriage is a career. and Il pretty seri-
-ous one. Yet a girl who wouldn't apply
for $6-a-week position as typewriter
without qualifying for the place, will
walk arily into matrimony with no more
preparation than is involved in the max
Ing Of doilies and fudge and sweet
speeches. 1t is amazing!
\ girl needs time after leaving school.
10 prepare herself for the big business of
hons keeping and home-making. Her
mothers home is the best school for this.
She needs time to give her parents at
least few years of bright companion
ship before leaving them for good.
She needs to enjoy a few years Of the
tarc-free happiness of young woman
hood, which never can be wholly hers
after assuming the duties of wife and
mother
More than AL she needs time to grow
into Il sense OF what if means to be the
ultimate, lifelong comrade of one man.
1t is not play. 1t takes staying powers
and unSelhshnesS. and 4 character that
close compauionship will reveal as more
lovely. not less lovely. Otherwise, the
game will soon be over and the little
blind god of love lie slain on the ground.
tu immature girl does not realize these
1hiugs. At II she is ten times better
able to look at marriage with clear eyes
and sane understanding and cnn>c-
tuently ten times better prepared to
make it a success.
The consensus of opinion is steadily
pushing in favor OF a later marriage age.

MILLING PRODUCTS
For the Worlds Fair Exhibit-Ap-
Piles Sent.

Walter S. Ratliff has made his last
shipment Of apples to indianapolis
for the St. Louis fair. There are
three varieties = Indiana Favorites,
Cooper's Market and Salome. The
exhibit didn't have enough of the
varieties mentioned so that accounts
for the last shipment. The Indiana
Favorites were secured from j. S.
Henwood, of Cincinnati and the 9th
ers from Elan Osborne, of Econ
Omy.
The milling products for the exhi-
bition include products of wheat and
corn. Most of the millers of the
county have been given an opportun-
ity Of sending samples in the exhibit.
These exhibits were placed in the
agricultural building at the fair.
Most counties in the state have made
corn its chief exhibit, but Wayne
county being noted for its large num-
Der OF mills, was selected as the one
to make milling products a speciality.
