Milwaukee almost every other day

arrive in the early morning, when
there is just sufficient light for a
safe landing and yet not enough for

too closely.

authorities believe, guide themselves

ing to an announcement by Fire Chief
a. b Eaton at meeting of the
Clarendon Citizens Association last
night. Chief Eaton amplified that
seven cisterns of a capacity ranging
from 10000 to 10000 gallons will be
located i'll various sections of the
town and subdivisions.
Work on the first of these, to be
located on Citizens Association ground
in rear of Citizens Hall, will be start

will hold 10000 gallons Of water and
will afford protection for property

Permission has been granted the
department, the chief added, to estab-

a lake. which when completed Will
make available a water supply of ap-

has agreed to improve the roads and
TO erect a bridge across Hays street.
Chief Eaton stated that the Lyon q
Fitch Co. has given orders for the
construction of two cisterns in Lyon
Village and work will be started in

he said. the people are fully aroused
TO the need of cistern, and the Citi-

Child MARRIAGE

C0CIOLOGISTS seem to be much stirred
- over the latest report of the Russell
Sage Foundation to the effect that some
100000 of our population are people who
married before the age of 16 years.
Less than per cent isn't bad show
ing, considering the number of foreign
born, nor is there much cause for worry
in the fact that the average age of the
men who married the young girls was 81
years. In many instances, it is good
thing that the girls marry men some years
older than themselves. In only 81 of the
states is the minimum age fixed at lower
than 16 years. and those states require
the consent of the parents. Undoubtedly,
too early marriage should be decried and
reloressed but the big social problem is
mo- so much in the marrying as in the
growing evil of un-maIrying.
