ity of other worlds than this being
inhabited.
Since science began to understand
the conditions surrounding the plants

being mere speck in the universe
1t has been conceded that there Is a
possibility of one or two of these
planets being inhabited. For many

thing approaching or superior to hui
man life existing on Mars than on
other planets. The canals" of Mars
have been supposed to be Of human
origin--great engineering feats to sup
port life on dying world.
Recently the planet Venus has at
tracted more attention than Mars and
now takes first place in the spceula.-
tons on this subject. According to
these theories Venus is more liable to
support life. as we understand It, than
Mars. Venus is nearer the sun than
the earth. This closeness to the sun
would make it too hot for life. but
Venus is surrounded by dense clouds.
If these clouds are water vapor. as
now advanced by the new theories,
then there is a chance that Venus is
inhabited by beings similar to those Of
this earth. IF the clouds are dust
clouds, then there is little chance that
life exists on that planet.

The Same Old
Moon
BY BERTON BRALEY


The moon looks down on you and me
And we look upward at the moon;
1t is the same old, moon we see
Beneath which lovers used to
spoon.
With silly words and tender kisses,
In days of Gree and Ulysses.
The same old moon is looking down,
But all those lovers, where are
they?
Princess and Prince, milkmaid and
clown,
The wind has blown them all
away;
They lived and loved. knew woe and
laughter,
Died-but more lovers followed
after!
The same moon looks down from
above,
But it is up so high and far
It sees the lovers making love,
Yet can't distinguish who they are,
And thinks that still, the ages
through,
The same old lovers bill and coo,
And If the moon, by chance, could
hear,
1t still would hold the same
opinion;
For age by age and year by year.
In all loves magical dominion,
The words and kisses are the same
AS when the first pair felt the fame.
The same old moon is in the sky,
The same thrill in each lovers
breast:
Except. Of course, that you and
Are different from all the rest!-
Was it my fancy made me think
saw the old moon slyly wink?

Good Roads
To the Editor Of The times

To the Editor Of The Times
I notice in your paper of Nov. T.
that certain farmers in Hendricks
County have petitioned to close White
Lick Creek road.
If some farmers would spend some
of their time repairing this road and
building good fences to keep their
stock on their own premises, they
would be busy for the next few years,
instead Of chasing over the country
getting petitions signed by disinterest-
ed parties who do not realize the IN
jury they are doing other farmers
by closing roads.
Many Of the parties who signed
this petition to close White Lick Creek
road do not live within one mile Of this
road and some of them live in town
and own farms along this road and
have no buildings on their farms,
Their land has stood idle for years.
Good roads are a benefit to everyS
body and good fences make good
neighbors.
I hope the persons who signed the
petition to close this road will read
the opinion Of those farmers who
were benefited by this road.
It is commonly known that half Of
the office holders in the Danville court
house are related through their ten
million step aunt and all their rela-
ton are entitled to this benefit; so the
public can plainly see what chance a
newcomer has.
