RACE SUICIDE
IS INVOLVED
Condition Throws a Heavy
Burden of Toll on
Women

New York, Aug l9-That race suicide
| is factor to be reckoned with in the
United States is made plain by stats
tics published yesterday by the Equit'
able Life Assurance society showing
that there are 100000 unmarried per-
sons in the country and that 80 out of
every 100 male adults are without
wives.
These minated millions nearly equal
in number the population OF the king
dom of Spain, or that of Mexico and
Canada combined. They are divided as
follows:
Unmarried men aged 20 years and
over, 100000.
Unmarried women above Is years OF
age, 100000.
OF the men, with whom rests the in
itiative in marital affairs, 100000 are
between the ages of 20 and "A years and
100000 are between 45 and 81 years old.
Making due allowance for the impe-
cunious, the aged and the mentally and
physically unfit, it is safe TO say that
100000 of these single men are capable
of assuming the responsibilities of mar
ried life.
The inference drawn by the compilers
of these significant statistics is that an
States to-day simply lack the moral
fibre and courage to marry and take
a mans part in human affairs. And
going further the statistics say:
while an army of single men are
lavishing their earnings and their affect
tions upon themselves and many of
them developing extravsgant and often
vicious habits--an existence which they
prefer to an orderly, economical married
life-another great army of young
women are forced te toll in our factories
and business houses for the necessities
of life.
"This is an unfortunate and unnatural
state of affairs. Moreover, from the
ranks of the unmarried comes human
ity's heaviest contribution to immoral
ity and crime.
"All these factors are well worth con-
sidering when studying the problem of
marriage, eugenics or fate degeneracy
and the fundamental moral principle
which underlies them all.
"And now another convincing reason
for marriage has been disclosed by the
dhaig eis W hhoi laltg HSabistitS VI maj
ried and unmarried people by Prof. w.
l.. Wilcox OF Cornell university.
"These statistics cover the population
of the state of New York, with the ex-
ception OF Buffalo and New York City,
and have made it possible almost for the
first time in this country to study NOR
tally by marital conditions.
Comparing thedeath rate of unmar
ried with that of married men, and with
with that of married women,
we get the following startling results;

Mrs Brown arrived late at the regu-
lar meeting of her card club, and ap-
peared quite fustered, unlike her usual
calm, well-poised self. Upon being asked
the cause of her apparent perturbation,
she explained that, while waiting for the
street car, she had been greatly annoyed
by a strange man, who insisted upon
talking to her.

GRUNTERs AND GRUMBLERs.

Grunting is bad habit. It is akin to the habit of grumbling. Some times men and women grunt and grumble when there is no reason for it.
 They scowl when they should smile.
 They speak sadly and with sroan- ing voice, when they should speak cheerfully.
 Carlyle has been dubbed the Sour Sage of Chelsea. Something always was the matter with Carlyle. He was as full of lamentations as Jeremiah. When Carlyle wasn't weeping over evil conditions and events in the world, he was weeping over himself and his own physical infirmities, for, in his own fancy, he had everything, from simple toeitch to tuberculosis. Yet there wasn't much of anything the matter with Carlyle except his state of mind.
 Schopenhauer was so nervous he couldn't stand to hear the crack of whip. Yet Schopenhauer's req soning was as cold and clear as a constitutional lawyers. The trouble was with his heao.
 Carlyle and Schopenhauer were grunters and grumblers.
 Old Ben Franklin poked fun at himself when he mad the gout.
 Marcus Aurelius suffered not lit tie. But he spoke and wrote cheer fully
 One of Dickens characters felt so good, so happy, that he had to go to funerals to keep from laughing him. self to death; and he wasn't in the Pickwickian group, either.
 Grunting, like grumbling. very of ten is a mental habit.
 Many men and women ina zine vain things about themselves.
 Many men and women have thought themselves into hospitals, insane asy- lums, and suicides graves, or they have grunted and grumbled their way out of a reasonably happy estate in- to real misfortune. It doesn't pay to grunt and grumble The cheer full nature is the worlds greatest as set.-EX

REACH ARGUMENT
 IN |LES CASE

E. E. Ritchie, attorney for Mrs. AL fred B. Hes, and the attorneys for the Alaska Water, Light & Telephone company, spent the greater part of the day arguing to Judge Jennings the reasons why their respective clients should be granted the verdict they desire in the suit for possession of the upper dam in Solomon basin. Mrs. Hes claims the dam because it is located upon ground claimed by her by reason of a mineral location and also as part of the Hes power plant leased to the company and her attorney claims that all improve ments must be turned over to the owner.
 The Alaska Water, Light & Tele- phone company are inclined to be- lieve they own it because they built it. The court, however, has the final say and will render decision after the attorneys have told him all about the facts and the law.

EDUCATION AT BIG FAIR
New Features introduced BY State
Board In Appreciation of
Learning.

Educat1on has placed Wisconsin to
the fore. This fact will be duly recog-
nized at the WISCONSIN state fair, Mil
waukee, September to II. The board
OF agriculture this year has made
special effort to advance the educa-
t1onal department, charging the prem
ium lists and the general scope to
be covered by displays. also by intro
ducing valuable and unique feature
in the form of state spelling contest
to take place on the fair grounds.
The educational department SEIZED
ules are SO arranged that every pupil
in the state has chance to demon
strate his ability, special classes be-
ing arranged for all kinds of public
educational institutions from county
training schools down to the humblest
rural school, and for competitions be-
tween counties, as well as cities OF
the third and fourth classes.
Practical knowledge is the basis up
on which merit will be adjudged.
Book learning alone will not serve
any entrant, as all the competitions
of moment require that the competitor
show ability to apply knowledge to
practical things.
The elimination process applies in
connection with the spelling contest
so that the winner at the state fair
will be the champion for Wisconsin
Winners of city and town contests
will compete in the county. contests
and it will be the county winners that
will compete at the state fair
Supt. George w. Davies of Sank
county is superintendent of education
at the state fair. The department has
progressed under Mr.. Davies super
vision and he is to be credited largely
for the excellent new ideas adopted
this year.

George F. Comings, Eau Claire, su-
perintendent of the county exhibits
department, has made elaborate ar
rangements for enlargement and
many new features. Mr.. Comings is
experienced in this speciality and the
results of his methods supported by
up-to-date general officials and the
board, are manifest. None of the dis
agreeable features of former years
will be permitted this year. No ia

which will be filled entirely with reg

COMFORTING WORDS
Many a River Falls Household Will
Find them So

To have the pains and aches of
bad back removed-to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous urin-
airy disorders, is enough to make
any kidney sufferer grateful. The
following advice of one who has suf-
fered will prove comforting words
to hundreds of Journal readers.
Charles Greedy, Ellsworth, Wis !,
says: "Last winter | received an
injury to my back and was confined
to my bed for days. After that 1
suffered from pains in my loins and
could hardly stoop. The kidney
secretions contained sediment and
were unnatural. | consulted a ply
stefan who gave me relief, but still
had pains in my back every now
and then. My wife, reading of
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured a
supply for me and | began using
them. They helped me from the
first and, after l had taken the con-
tents of eight boxes, the backache
had disappeared and my kidneys
Rad become normal. In return for
the benefit derived from the use of

COUNTY EXHIBITS
SET NEW RECORD
EVERY NORTHERN SECTION TO
BE ESPECIALLY REPRESENTED
AT STATE FAIR.
TO BOOST EVERY LOCALITY
Board Makes Liberal Appropriations
and Supt. George F. Comings En-
Iarges His Department.
COMPETE ON EoUALIZED BASIS

Efforts to make the Wisconsin
State Fair, Milwaukee, September
to IL correlate the best of the coun-
ty fairs in fact as well as general
effect are SURPRISING those of form
er years, according to early lndlca-
tons Practically every northern coun-
ty in the state has signified intention
to be represented in the county ex-
hibits department. Many of the old
southern counties which heretofore
have needed this special department
very little also have made appropria-
tions and will have large displays.
Within the past two or three years
only has the county exhibit depart
ment received defini Roattention, and
only few counties have been repre-
scented. This year. more than thirty
counties had made preliminary ar
rangements before the spring had
had passed, and boards of superyis-
ors or special agricultural societies
were preparing for necessary action
in as many more. 1t is hoped that
every one of the seventy-one coun-
ties will be thus specially represent
ed this year.
Each County Fair Chance.
The schedule of awards is so ar
ranged as to give each county fair
chance. For instance, in the divis-
ion of premium money, points are
awarded for distance from the state
fair in order to offset any advantage
because of proximity to the fair
grounds. The exhibits are to consist
of grains, fruits, vegetables, grasses
and seeds. Especial attention will be
given to the study of seed grains in
this department, as results of the
efficient work by state experiment
stations and railroad and commercial
bodies will be in evidence.
The board of agriculture has ap-
department on the basis of twenty
counties affording displays. For
each county over twenty 500 will be
added and money will be divided pro
rata according to the score. The at
titude of the board toward the coun-
ty exhibits is not taken as in oppo-
sition to home fairs in the counties
But, on the contrary, it is argued
that the excellent display of a coun-
tvs products at the state fair should
be of benefit to a county and the
county fair.
