AT this juncture it is not amiss
to review the history Of the kado-
ka waterworks system as it has de
vcloped from its first inception.
The Press is grateful to Postmaster
Otto c. Sharon for most of the
facts:
The first agitation for water
works system was made in 1909
when a system similar to the pres
ent one but not SO extensive could
have been built for $600O00 and to
the same place as the present one
1t did however not materialize.
The lack Of water was kcenly

not be adequate and that a reser-

held and bonds were voted to the
extent of $4,000 GO. These bond: :

In 1921 unanimous community
vote authorized the issuance o!
bonds for waterworks purposes. A

PRESIDENTS
WIDOW HAS
RICH ESTATE
Mrs. Harding One Of Few
Who Have Been Left
Amply Provided For,
BY FLORA G. ORR

TV n ASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Warren
iWi G. Harding goes down on the
- list Of Presidents who have
left ample provision for swife and
family. This has not been true al
have left estates and life insurance
worth mentioning. Others have not.
When necessary, Congress steps to
the rescue and to show the gratitude
of the country for a chiefs services,
provides a pension of $1,000 a year for
the widow.
When William Henry Harrison died
in 1S41, after serving as President for
only one month, it was discovered
theer was little provision for his in
valid wife
Appropriates $4,000
That was the first experience the
country had had with the necessity
of looking after a Presidents widow.
Promptly Congress appropriated a
gift Of s25, 900. Upon this amount
Mrs. Harrison lived for twenty-three
years, until her death in 1854.
John Tyler was President when
he was 55 years of age He did not
die until he was II, but the country
discovered that Mrs. Tyler, who was
his second wife, had been left with
nothing. This time a pension OF $4,000
a year was granted, which Mrs. Tyler
drew for twenty.seven years.
After Lincoln's assassination, Con-
gress gave Mrs. Lincoln SIS. 900 Four
years later, she wrote to the Vice
President and requested a pension.
Broken in health, she said she could
not. upon her limited means, live in
a style BETTING a widow of the chief
magistrate Of a great Nation.
Mrs. Lincoln Not Popular
This request was at first refused.
Mrs. Lincoln was not popular with
the country. and the committee on
pensions reported they were unable
to perceive that Mrs Lincoln was
entitled to a pension. Later. through
the efforts of the Illinois delegation.
IS 900 a year was granted
Mrs. Grant, Mrs, Mckinley. Mrs.
Polk and Mrs. Garfield also received
SIS 900 a year each upon the deaths
OF their husbands Mrs. Grant and
Mrs. Garfield were also granted the
ranking privilege. Mrs. Roosevelt is
the only widow OF an ex-President
who has that privilege today 1t will
probably be accorded to Mrs. Harding
as well.

Animal Facts

Life is a glad. sweet song to hermit
crabs. Care-free. they go joyously
from riotous feasting to love making
and on to warfare among themselves,
and then back again. The male crab
is larger than the female, being about
two inches long and as large round as
a lead-pencil, when the shell is re-
moved. During the mating season the
female. true to her sex, perches on
the males shell and is his constant
companion.
