FOX DECLARES LAW IS UNJUST IN WIDOW'S CASE

Although he conformed with the law. Judge Fox declared today that the declsiqn of the Indiana Supreme court Is wrong which holds that in case a widow accepts the terms of a will made by her husband instead of claiming her share under law, she releases her right to her husband's onehalf Interest which was held Jointly by husband and wife unless the will gives It to her. By virtue of the joint deed, the husbands half of the property would otherwise fall to her. A case of this kind came up In the circuit court this morning In a partition suit to have the property of Sarah Harlan, who died Feb. SS, sold so the heirs could receive their rroper shares of the estate. By accepting the terms of the will left by her husband who died, March 1910, Mrs. Harlan was granted only a life Interest in her husband's half of a forty ace farm near Bethel while she would have received a clear title to It if she had taken her share of the estate under the law. Milton Harlan was appointed commissioner to sell the real estate. He Lewis has been appointed administrator for two minor heirs, Ina and Howard Harlan.

CAN CITY BABIES CGMPf 10 THOSE REARED IN COUNTY

What part of Wayne county rears the best babies? Mothers will receive an answer to the question by the middle of October and a week later they will know also, whether the best babies In the county pitted against the winners of the city contest, can hold their own.' Registrations have come in which makes the county baby contest representative of every section. Each township of the 15 has at least one baby entered; some boast four or five infants near enough to the parents' idea of perfection to compete; and the general average when the contest closes with Monday morning's mail, is expected to be no less than four to a township.This morning, Miss Mary Kennedy, visiting nurse, discovered that nearly all of the babies entered in the county contest are farm babies. This makes the contest more interesting from Richmond's standpoint, but the absnnce of babies from other towns may be a disappointment to mothers of the farm babies. For instance, a mother in Jefferson township would like to know whether her baby can beat one from Hagerstown. The contest ' Is expected to bo of interest to doctors who would learn from its results whether the advanced household facilities for rearing an infant in the city or the open air, fresh milk and plentiful supplies of the farm have the most beneficial effects.
