More Women Marry than We Imagine

In the January Women's Homo
companion Ida NJ. Tarboll writes n
most illuminative and interestine mr.
ticle entitled What Women Are Real
iy Doing" Miss Tarbell takes occa-
sion To refute with facts, which she
has gathered by making n carefuI
study OF the Thirteenth Censuus some
oil the false ideas on the woman oues-
ton which are spread by platform
speakers throughout the country
The PLATFORM" says that less Than
half ct the forty-hve million women
OF the country marry" Miss Tarbell
answers this allegation with the fol-
lowing statement of facts:
IF we consider the sex as n whole.
regardless OF age, this Is true. We
have In the United States now a. 4.g39.-
9S9 females including all from one
year and under TO one hundred years
and over. Fifty-two and seven-tentbs
per cent OF these-babes, maids and
women-are single. that IN. literally
less than half Of the sex are married
But drop out those not yet of marri-
ageable age and you have a different
story. There will. of course. be n diff
ference OF opinion about what Is n
MARI iageable age; but let us call n
nineteen or over. III we settle on that.
we must drop at once from our esti-
mate something over twenty millions
OF the sex. II puts different com
piexion at once on the marriage per-
centage. AS q fact. seventy per cent
OF those who are fifteen years or more
old marry; and II you raise the age TO
twenty SOh per cent marry; to TWEEN
ty-fve. S6.7 per cent marry.
But grant these figures TO be cor
rect-it is hard, even for an orator.
10 defy census-and still the Mat
FORM cries that women don't marry
as they once did The truth Is they
marry more freely than they did I'm
lsee or In 1890. There has been n
gain OF nearly two per cent I'm the
number OF marriages OF women over
hfteen In the last twenty years: and
TWO per cent. when dealing with near
~ millions Is considerable number"

The Farmer and His Paper

The farmer of today is entirely
diherent from the farmer of yester-
day. said Secretary G. N. McLlyaine.
OF the South Dakota State Fair. "and
really believe that the country
newspapers have been the greatest
aid to the farmers and made them
what thy are today. There is no bet
ter or quicker way to get an educa-
ton than to read the papers. II
man is away from his home town his
nome paper comes to him like a long
lost friend. II Just seems to me. when
read my home paper as though L
was shaking hands with a chum. 4
think the articles written by Peter
kadford have done more for the farm
er than any series of articles 1 have
ever read. Have you read his article
on Political PreachersT-it is one OF
the best he ever wrote. Every farmer
and every farmers wife should read
it. It's great"

washington, Jan. 5.--Action that II
expected To result in test of the
British and French attitude toward the
sale OF Austrian and Go-man merchant
vessels tied up in American ports
since the outbreak OF the war was
taken In the granting OF American
registry To the steamship Dacia, for
merly OF the neutrality-suspicious. line
and recently pur hased by Edward N.
Breitung of Michigan.
The admission OF the Dacia to
American registry was granted by the
department OF commerce after all Of
the facts regarding her purchase had
been laid before officials here. II is
proposed TO send the Dacia to Bremen
In about two weeks with a cargo OF
cotton from Galveston. She is now at
Port Arthur. Tex.
The expectation here Is that the
Dacia will promptly be seized by Brit.
ish or French cruisers az soon as she
appears In European waters. II is be-
lieved that the British and certainly
the French will enter the case before
prize court on the ground that she
Is an enemy vessel. her sale after the
outbreak OF hostilities being void.
Thus test case will be instituted
