States Make 1t Harder
To Get Married

Washington - up - Marriage
was becoming an increasingly diff
ficult state of bliss to achieve in
the United States during 1887.
Three states and the District of
Columbia raised the minimum
marriage age for one or both par
ties. Four states and the District
asked a new waiting period be-
tween the application for a license
and its issuance, and New York
now requires a waiting period be-
tween the issuance of the license
and the marriage. Measures re-
quiring health certificates were
passed in five states and Puerto
Rico.

LIQUOR QUESTION DISCUSSED

A fair sized audience gathered in
the local Danish Lutheran church
last night to hear Miss Norma c.
Brown speak on the subject Repeal
has Failed, What NeXt?"
Advance publicity stated that Miss
Brown was delightfully."- different
constructive and convincing, logical
and sane, clear and persuasive, and
an able orator. The audience who
heard her last night will very likely
be unanimous in saying that every
bit of that is correct.
Miss Brown is indeed well posted
on the liquor question, and with COM
parative figures and convincing facts
makes one realize that neither pro-
hibition nor repeal by law can func-
ton successfully, but that it is up
to each and every individual to
intellectually support the temper
ance movement.
