THE WAIRARAPA AGE.
Among the important, not to say pro- ' gressive, insitutions in . the Wairarapa must be counted its local newspapers. Most of these have been established for a considerable time, and one of them in particular, the Wairarapa Age, is widely circulated" and commands large support throughout the district. It is ah eightpage morning daily; and was established over thirty-five years ago. In local and general politics it is independent, and the crisp, incisive manner in which it deals with political questions probably accounts [for its popularity." The managing director (Mr. E. J. Brown) is at present in the firing line in France, and his sister (Miss Millicent Brown) is controlling the business side of the paper in his absence. The Age has^ sent two of 1 its reporters and two of its mechanical staff to the front, and others are waiting their turn to go. The paper has been edited for the last six,or seven years by | Mr. Arthur H. Vile, who is well known in Dominion journalism.
