WIDOWS
“Wives are young men’s mistresses,
companions for middle age and old
men’s nurses.” So observed Francis
Bacon. Said Euripides: “Man’s best
possession is a sympathetic wife.”
George Lyttleton exclaimed: “How
much the wife is dearer than the
bride!” And Cowper wrote: of life
What is there in the vale
Half so delightful as a wife,
When friendship, love and peace
combine
To stamp the marriage bond
divine?
These are only a few of the hun¬
dreds of observations made by great
men in praise of wives in general.
However, it is difficult to find any
good words said of widows. Most ob¬
servations as to widows are extremely
cynical. Thomas Fuller said: “Sorrow
for a husband is like a pain in the
elbow, sharp and short.” Alexander
Pope wrote: “No crafty widows shall
approach my bed; those ;tre too wise
for bachelors to wed.” Referring to
the average widow’s anxiety to marry
again, H. G. Bohn said: “A good
occasion for courtship is when the
widow returns from the funeral.” And
then there is that immortal advice on
how to woo a widow:
He that will woo a widow must
not dally,
He must make hay while the sun
doth shine;
He must not stand with her,
shall I, shall I,
But must boldly say: “Widow,
you must be mine!”

CHICKENS
Where can now be found the world’s
most wonderful chicken ? The British
claim they have it. Dr. Norman Black,
British agricultural expert who is re¬
sponsible for this remarkable breed of
chicken, made reference to it at the
World Poultry Congress, at the Sor
bonne, in Paris.
If I may disagree here, would like to
say If you are a chicken fancier, that
is a convention you should have at¬
tended and taken your wife along. It
was Sidney Smith who so rightly said:
“Every wife has a right to demand
that her husband take her to Paris
at least once.”
To return to the remarkable chicken
aforementioned. It grows more quickly
and eats less than ony other type of
chicken. At the age of thirteen weeks
it attains a weight of four pounds. Its
meat is claimed to be three times as j
tender as any other chicken. This
chicken develops the way it does be- j

HONEST OFFICIALS
WELCOME NEWSMEN
Full publicity on all road right-of
way deals in the future has been rec¬
ommended by the Handley adminis¬
tration.
Had full publicity of all road deals
—and all other matters of business in
the Indiana state government—been
provided in the past w T e would not now
have the highway scandal.
Had there been full publicity on all
the deals the thousands and thousands
and perhaps hundreds of thousands of
dollars of taxpayers’ money involved
in the highway scandal, revealed, and perhaps would
other scandals not yet
never have occurred. You and I and
all the other Indiana taxpayers would
have been saved this huge outlay of
money.
This is a glaring and positive ex¬
ample of the benefits—and the need
for official publication of matters per¬
taining to government. No good, hon¬
est public official ever objected to the
legal publication business involving of reports spending and mat¬ of
ters of
public money. The honest public
official welcomes it—wants it for his
own protection so that nobody may
accuse hint unjustly. It makes every
business transaction of the govern¬
ment a matter of public record so that
every taxpayer may know what is go¬
ing on.
Now', after the thousands and thou¬
sands of dollars of Indiana road mon¬
ey is gone, we hear cries of “Why
wasn’t it stopped?” It would never
have started had those involved know-n
every “deal” they made was going to
be published.
Yet there are always those w'ho try
to have laws requiring publication of
public spending repealed or modified.
They claim it is to save money. But
now, with this expose of what hap¬
pens when the government’s business
deals are not published by law', there
can be do doubt about the value of
publication business—township, laws pertaining to gov¬
ernment town,
county, state—and yes, even national
should be included.
And you, as a taxpayer whose
money is being spent, should make it
your business to keep posted on such
publie public notices spending by and watching these
insisting that — full publicity perhaps join in
be given
our state government business as well
as our local units.—Salem (Ind.) Re-

From a doctor friend, the story of
the man and wife quarreling by the
hearthstone on which lay a cat and
a dog.
“Just look at them,” said the wife,
pointing to the pets. “They’re not
fussing and fighting all the time.”
“Yeah ?” said the husband, “But tie
them together for life and see what;
