cover 100000 worth of Okla

Peck declared 10000 acres Of
Usage and Ponca Indian lands in
Oklahoma were obtained by fraud
by the Miller Brothers, owners Of
the "101" ranch, for which they
pleaded guilty in the Federal court
there.

Peck said the Miller brothers

Indianapolis is in Marion County
It's people have greater average
wealth and education than those Of
Lake County.
Then how shall we account for
the comparatively few divorces in
the northern county?
There are several explanations.
Large families are the rule, not the
exception, in Industrial centers, such
as Lake County. And, although we
would not all agree that illimitable
families make for happy homes
there is no doubt that husbands and
wives who have the welfare Of their
children at heart have q safeguard
against temptation.
Then, too, the people Of Lake
County, generally speaking, are
busy. The women take care Of their
households and families. The men
work long hours. They do not have
much time for philandering.
Some folk would pity these hard
working people Of Lake County. But
the fgures-and figures, you know.
are supposed not to lie-might make
the Marion County folk the ones to
be pitied.
