MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE

Washington, Mar 25.-About ona
marriage in every nine is terminated
by divorce. The number of marriages
in proportion 70 the population has in
creased since 1890. but the divorce
rate has increased much more rapidly,
The returns FOR 1916 show lose 80
riages and 112 divorces per 100000
population. These are some of the
more striking features of a report or
marriage and divorce, covering the
calendar year 1916, issued by Director
Sam L. Rogers, of the bureau o.. the
census.
| According to the returns, which COW
cred 1855 counties out of total of
! ,989--na data hein@-axai liable for the,
95 missing counties-the number of
divorces granted in 1916 was 1906
or 112 per 100000 of population, as
against 81 in 1906, 73 in 1900, and IS
in 1890.
Excluding South Carolina, in which
state all laws permitting divorce were
repealed in 1878, the lowest three di-
vorce rates in 1916 are shown for the
District of Columbia, North Carolina,
and New 1orlz-13, 81, and 80 per
100000 population, respectively; while
the highest three rates are those for
Nevada, Montana, and Oregon GOT,
1923, and 255, respectively. The divorce
rates were higher in 1916 than in 1906
for all the states except eight-Maine,
West Virginia, South Caroline =
which there were no divorces in eIune-
year,, Alabama, Mississippi, Moth
Dakota, South Dakota, and Colorado
and the District of Columbia. In 81
per cent of the eases the divorce was
granted to the husband and in 68.9
per cent to the wife. The latter per
centage compares with CTS for 1906
and 66.4 for 1896.
The principal causes for divorce and
the percentages contributed by them
to the total were: Desertion, 1858 per
cent; cruelty, 28.3 per cent; INTEGRITY
Ills per cent; neglect to provide, At
per cent; combinations of preceding
causes, So per cent. Desertion was
reported as the cause of so per cent
of the divorces granted to the hus-
band and 308 per cent of those grant.
ed to the wife.
Marriages
The report shows, for 1874 out Of
1880 counties-no information being
available in the case of the 1C6 miss
ing counties-1,0 40,779 marriages as
having been solemnized during the
year 1916. This number represents a
rate of 1O5 per 10000 population 49,
pared with 1902 for 1906, SO fou e
and 81 for 1890. The marriage rae,
therefore, is increasing, although not
so rapidly as the divorce rate.
The marriage rate-106 per 10000
population, was a little more than
8 times as great as the divorce rate,
112 per 100000; and it may be said,
therefore, that the 1916 rate were
to continue about marriage in 9
would be terminated by divorce.
The marriage rates for the various
states show considerable differences,
ranging from 65 per 10000 in Oregon
to 176 in Montana. The highest three
rates-176, $50, and 149-appear for
Montana, Maryland, and Florida, re-
spectively; and the lowest three-65
j66, and 73-are those for Oregon,
North Dakota, and Wisconsin, respect

Tarpon Lumber Co.
Mill Damaged By
: Fire Last Night
QUICK WORK OF FIREMEN AND
OTHERS SAVED ENTIRE PLANT
FROM DESTRUCTION; FIRE
MAY HAVE BEEN OF INCENDI-
AIRY ORIGIN

The big mill of the Tarpon Lumber
company, located near the county
bridge over the Anclote river was
damaged by fire last night.
The blaze was confined to the boiler
room and inasmucll as there had been
no fire in the boilers for two days it
| is not certain that the fire was not of
iincendiary origin.
The alarm was sounded at l o'clock
this morning and the local fire de-
paItment deserves great praise for its
quick response and the herculean work
they performed, thereby saving the
entire mil and some two hundred
thousand feet of lumber.
The Tarpon Lumber company asks
The Leader to express their great ap-
probation of the work of the fremen;
also to say that their competitor in
business here, Mr.. j. W. Alderman, is
especially deserving of thanks fer hav-
ing been the first to see the fire, sound
the alarm and notify the management
of the company of the fire, thus really
being the man who saved the property
from destruction.
The night Waterman at the mill had
gone out in the country yesterday
and did not return until about o'clock
this morning. Had he been at his
post the fire could not have occurred.
There was no insurance on the mill,
owing to the prohibitive rate of in
surance here.

Gard of Thanks

We desire to express our gratitud
and admiration for the men of TIL
local fire department, for Mr.. J. w.
Alderman, and for the citizens who
saved the Tarpon Lumber company's
mill from destruction by fire last
night. Mr. Alderman, our competitor,
sounded the alarm, the city fire de-
partment was quick in response and
worked like Trojans, citizens who
came out rendered what assistance
they could and we heartily appreciate
this good work.

voters can be possible on the lines
suggested unless the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage association is
willing to amend it's time-honored pol
icy in response to what seems a new

these amendments involves the most
fundamental changes in our internal

s. Orders Received:
We've orders, orders everywhere, so many
that we but stare and wonder how in
hell and where they were originated. We
read them back and forward, too, and then
we don't know what to do; though
again we look them through, they leave US
agitated.
9. Action During the Day and Orders
Issued and Received:
The doughboy laid his pack aside, the
iron ration still inside, and opened up his
jacket wide and sailed right in, by thun-
der; he tore them right; he tore them
left and laughed while he used all that
heft, for every Germans bean was cleft, he
rent the Hun asunder Behind him, too
artillery roared, while overhead the big
shells scared and into Germany batt'ries
bored-my soul, it was attractive! But
way above them in the sky they looked in
vain for things that fy-report on; "visi-
bility shy, aeroplanes inactive"
100 Result of Action, Both Own and
Enemy:
hundred thousand captured Huns,
million more or less Of guns, deloused ma
chimes and tons and tons of German made
commodities. Some cannons and some
cooking stoves, and generals, captains,
other coves chased behind in droves
and droves along with other oddities. Our
line extends from left to right along the

II Estimate of the Situation:
This is thisl And that is that! And who
is who and what is what! Such thoughts
are running meath hat in mighty cogi-
tation- To find phase with which to cope
we tried, but there is no hope; we must
announce our latest dope, "There amt no
situation"
13. Plans for Future:
Exit at Thirty-second Street, a wild, mad
dash across the street, until the rails be-
meath our feet, wen cross the gin mills
border. We've quite resolved to never
think we only want to sit and drink and
drink and drink and drink and drink;
Here, waiter, take the order"
H. Remarks:
The captured roads are poor to fair, sun
plies normal everywhere, morale is
quite beyond compare, the men are all in
clover. The visibility now is fine, there are
no Germans on the Rhine, so let's uncork

Do you hear my voice IN the whispering
And my words of love in each move O. the
trees?
When the moon shines clear and CRYSTAL
white,
And the stars bedeck the lovely night,
Do you hear me quietly, gently say:
Il love you now, and / shall for aye"2
For miss your soft, endearing touch,
And that wondrous smile that I love so
much;
Those sparkling eyes that so adore
Smiling me welcome as of yore.
And l long to hear that beloved voice
or l heard but word, how. I should re-
joice);
In its tender tones it has told the tale
Of Enduring Love that will never fail:
1t has whispered me words that have
brought me peace
From the storms of the world a bIest re-
lease
At a word from your lips would gladly
give
All that have; I would die or live
But most of all Of the things that miss,
Is the touch Of the lips that l love to kiss;
Their nectar sweetness fingers still
Like the look in your eyes when you said,
81 wills
And many the nameless, haunting charms
Of your fragrant hair, your loving arms;
Of communing silences, wondrous hours
Spent out amidst the woods and flowers;
And all these memories I shall take
And carry them with me until I awake
From out this dream of troubled strife.
With Rampant Death abroad midst life
For soon I shall come again to you,
And we'll pick up the threads Of our love
anew.
] shall listen again to the old sweet song
In the voice that to me has been stilled SO
long
And the past will be dead as an evil dream
That is gone at the sign of the dawn's first
CLEAN;
And all will be fair meath smiling sky.
AS the years slip peacefully, happily by.
