Marion. Ind, Jan. 22.-The first CON-
mon law marriage contract ever naue
In Marion was signed by Arthur N
Peters, of Indianapolis, and MISS Lora
Kepler. of this city, on Jan. 0. Peters
and Miss Kepler have lived together
ne husband wife since that date and
fhis. they declare, is the fulfillment of
their contract and makes 1t binding.
They have announced to their friends
and the public that they are husband
and wife. The cause Of this extraordi-
nary marriage contract was the OBJ
jeations of the parents Of Miss Kepler,
she being II years old, and it being
impossible for her to get marriage
license in Indiana without the written
consent Of her parents.
Went to a Lawyer About 1t.
Peters and Miss Kepler were deter
mined to marry, but Miss Kepley would
not consent to elope to some other
state. Peters consulted Alfred Henry,
an attorney. The attorney suggested
the common law marriage and Peters
told Miss Kepler about it. The young
people asked the attorney to draw up
a contract that would be legal. The
attorney read all the authorities on
common law marriages and the decis-
ions of the supreme courts of Ohio,
Illinois and Missouri on the subject.
The contract was then drawn and
signed by the contracting parties and
George w. Salmon and Eli Jones as
witnesses.
Found Supreme Court Authority.
In citing supreme court reports in
the case Attorney Henry referred to
the 101, Indiana reports, where com
mon law marriage was held valid with
out any form Of ceremony. In the
twenty-third American state reports, in
the case of the state VS.. BiTick the
supreme court of Missouri held that
the common law marriage was legal
and reversed the decision Of the lower
court.

Ia reference to marriage by contract
In this case the supreme court said;
"a valid marriage exists between the
parties where a man and a woman

refuses consent to her marriage, max
Ing it impossible to procure a marriage
license, mutually agree to marry and
publicly announce themselves as hus.

by cohabitation and holding themselves

that the admission of this labor Just
now would do no great immediate
harm, but these conditions are not
going to last always and when busf-
ness does become slack and the de-
mand for labor lessons then the more
of this labor we have here the more
trouble we will have and the more
danger to life and property.
We must look to the future as well
as to the present It we're better that
some of our enterprises proceed more
slowly than to be secured at the cost
Of future riot and bloodshed
II we cannot get legislation ex-
GLIDING this labor. then we should try
to provide that no more of 1t shall
be admitted to this country than Of
ours goes to any particular country.
or we should attempt to provide that
whatever Of such LABOR is admitted
to this country It shall be admitted
only at the ports OF New York and

No class of people should be ad-
Elitted here that may not ultimately
become citizens of our country. Very

all the surplus fruits for growers in
that rapidly developing orchard sec
ton of the Yakima valley. says the

We are passing well along into the
age of fruit canneries Every promi-
nent orchard district has a cannery in
operation or under construction. Re-
ports fsom those in operation indi-
cate that all the parties concerned are
receiving good returns, and perfect
satisfaction reigns among the pro-
ducers and consumers. That comes
about because of the general united
spirit prevailing among the growers
Every one has an interest in the sue
cess Of the cannery. No bad fruits
are placed on sale The cannery gets
the best and freshest Of everything
desired FOR market. Every sharehold-
er is an agent for the promotion of his
cwn and his neighbors' interests, and
thereby building up the entire com.

The possibilities of fruit and vege
table growing may be extended al
most without limitation by the oper
