licenses, not divorces, should be
harder to obtain. Divorce is neces-
sary, in some cases.
Men shouldn't marry before
they are rs, or girls before they

thing of life.
Furthermore, every girl should
be self-supporting Then she can
do something if her husband is a
rascal. It's the only way to keep
men from treating their wives
like slaves"

Times Were Different

"Yes, times have changed" The

The Rev. Trusty turned then

TO AUDIT STATE
BOARD ACCOUNTS
Mystery of $155,OO0 Loan,
However, Expected to
Continue.

Field examiners of the State board
% accounts will be assigned within
he next few days to the job Of making
an audit Of the State board of agri
cultures books. Little will be &C
complished, however. in clearing VI
the mystery surrounding s155, 00C
Of the boards money which went to
the personal use Of Governor McCray,
Il is believed.
Several State officials point TO the
official duties of the board Of &C
counts as not embracing work which
would solve the question IN the minds
Of persons interested.
Governor McCray, III papers filed
with the United States commissioner
at Ft. Wayne, said the money was
made over to him in loans"
I. Newt Brown, secretary-treasurer
of the board Of agriculture, has said
until his recent period of silence, that
the money was meant for deposit in
the Discount and Deposit Bank OF
Kentland. of which McCray was
president
Question Unsnnomced
On strength of an unofficial opinion
of Attorney General L. S. Lesh. the
board OF agriculture has closed its
books to the public, thus permitting
the big question to remain un.
answered.
Several State officials today declared
the receipts, expenditures and bal
ances of the agriculture books would
check, and that the board of accounts
probably would not go into details OF
the McCray-Brown transactions. This
would leave the real question up to
the Marion County grand jury. which
is investigating some of McCray's
deals.
Money from the agriculture build
ing fund may be used in covering
losses sustained at the last State Fair,
Lesh has said IN an opinion.
The building fund. raised by sale Of
S1,O00.000 bond issue, was the one
from which cnecKs were made out to
McCray when he Was financially en-
barrassed early last summer.
The board of agriculture viii meet
again next Monday. Some members
who are understood to be dissatisfied
with the records being closed may
offer objections. 1t is possible that an
other discussion of the McCray-Brown
deals will be held.
At the last regular meeting of the
board a vote Of confidence in Brown
was passed, virtually repudiating Nc
Cray in his sworn statement that ne
borrowed" money from the board.
Brown was asked today Why rec
Ords were being kept closed. He re
fused to discuss the subject. He
would not say when the records VIII
be opened to the public.
