Widows to Organize Help Widows 'Why shouldn't the widows orrnle? Every other class of people, religious sect or political affiliation Is organlied for protection and the benefits to be gotten by co-operation. Why shouldn't the wid ows, who need protection and assistance the most, follow their example?" With this Idea In Mind Mrs. Bessie C. Turpln, a widow with three children. whom she hss supported, by her employ ment as bookkeeper In local business houses for nine years, has Issued an ap peal to all widows :n meet with her at the Toung Men's Christian association Tuesday afternoon at I o'clock to organ ise "The Society of American Widows." Mrs. Turpln has had the Idea In mind for several years and has been quietly presenting her views to local business men since October. The first gun In the csmpalgn for widows' rights was fired when Mrs. Turpln addressed a communi cation to the Associated Retailers this week setting forth the aims of the So ciety of American Widows and asking that a discount be made on all purchases by widows In stores which are members o! the association. Mis. Turpln has given up her position and expects to employ all of her time now to furthering the suc cess tf her project. "At the end of the European war there will be a great Influx of widows Into this country. This will be a great problem for Us to solve, and we believe In pre paredness. Another necessity for our or ganizing Is the Inability of the mothers' pension to come to the aid of widows. Some are Ineligible and others. If they receive a pension which Is not sufficient for them to live on, are not able to go out and work to make some additional money. By means of the employment bu reau and sewing department which we will establish we hope to be able to pro vide work In their own homes for the widows. "This Is not a charitable organisation. Charity only pauperlies, but our aim is to do a great, lasting good before the case Is turned over to the charities. 'Help the widows to help themselves," Is our motto." Mrs. Turpln plans to present her Idea to all the women's organizations of the city and to enlist the co-operation of local business men. She contemplates opening a local office and organizing a widows' stock company. The widow's dues will be S3, honorary members $5 per year. Interested persons will be sold large blocks of stock 11 they will buy. The S. A. W.'s will limit their organlza- JUDGES FILE FOR OFFICE Sears, Troup and Leslie Submit Names for Judicial Nomi nations, MORE LEGISLATIVE FILINGS (From a Staff Correspondent.) ' LINCOLN, March 11.
