EUGENICS COUPLE
MARRY THEMSELVES

MANCHESTER, Mass, June 3d.
Following their ethical eugenic mar
riage on the open beach, without a
clergyman, best man or bridesmaids,
and united under ritual of their
own composing, Robert E. Hutchinson
of Philadelphia and Miss Della Far
ley Dana, granddaughter of the poet
Longfellow, are today en- route to
New Zealand where they will study
state socialism.
The marriage of the two is believed
to be the first of its kind, both ethical
and eugenic. They have studied each
other, their families and their an
cestors for some time in order to de-
termine their fitness to have children.
In the ceremony the bride express
ed the hope that she would enable her
husband to "reach his highest Seffici-
ency," while he declared he ''hoped
his comradeship may help her to live
nearer to her ideals of life."

"a steer for which the raiser re-
ceives $19.25 costs the consumer
$99.21." You have likely seen that
or similar statement in print with
scream ATTACHED in favor of the
consumer. The statement might be
true as far as it goes but it does not
go far enough. A writer in the Chi
cago Record-Herald ran that state
ment down and here is what he found:
The feeder, who paid $19.25 for the
steer sold it to the packer for $3.50.
But S66.30 was not his profit. The
feeder fed the steer $3.50 worth of
corn and other feed and it cost him
$2,10 to market the steer. The feed
er realized S11.70 for his labor. The
railroad received $1.50 for hauling the
steer to market and commission man
pulled down so cents for selling it.
These came out of the profit OF the
feeder. The packer sold the carcass
to the retailer for $72.93 and disposed
of the by-products for $19.25; to-
tai of $S2.1S, or $6.63 more than he
paid the feeder for the steer on foot.
If the retailer paid $72.93 for the car
cass and sold it for $99.21 then his
profit was S26.28. The retailer will
likely show that his profit was not
$26.2S. But leaving the retailer out Of
it, the profits of steer seem to be
distributad hetw those who hapdla
it, not the raiser.

porous hamlet No complaining
merchants. Bayfield, people may have
their small differences but they are
all of one mind when speaking of the
town and community-it is all right.
The same prosperous and splendid
crop Indications abound up and down
the river and especially on the mesa
east of Bayfield,. The people of the
towE are eagerly waiting the COM
rletion of the water system which is
being put in by Tom Lotus.
The road from Bayfield, to Durango
is in splendid shape and the trip is
made in a trifle over an hour with
out excess speed.
Suppose every Durangoite who can
possibly spare the time, at any rate
those who have machines, put in a
couple of days covering the same ter
ritory. They will know more about
thc resources of the county and what
water, when properly applied, will do
for the farmer.

BaliwelD died, leaving s5,000,000
estate, and whose second husband,
William Porter, was killed in an au-
tomcbile smashup, is engaged to a
lawyer by the name of Warren C. Van
Slyke. The telegraph, in announcing
her engagement, tells of hec former
marriages, and gives vivid descrip-
tions of the deaths of her former hus-
bands. The manner in which the tele-
graph handles marriage engagement
ig enough to make the average en-

Many accidents are caused by poor
methods used for storing gasoline. A
full tank of gasoline is comparatively
safe; in fact lighted match can be
plunged into gasoline and it will go
out (though we would not recommend
you to try it). The main danger
comes when tank is partly empty.
The air in the slightest spark may
set it off, as smokers have proved to
their sorrow. A Scotch inventor has
now devised kind of tank which OBJ
viates this danger. In this tank the
gasoline as fast as it is drawn out is
replaced by an equal quantity of
water. The gasoline and water will
not mix and the gasoline simply flHats
on the water. Wh.n the tank is Ie-
flied with gasoline the water is auto
matically withdrawn again. In this
way no gas is allowed to form. Still
we advise our friends not to throw Il
lighted match N the tank

1--WE find it difficult, in dealing with
a man whose intentions we think to
be honorable and patriotic" says the
C!ote-Demoerat in discussing Presi-
cent Wilson's position on currency re-
form "to characterize this attitude as
we should characterize it if taken by
one whose honor or patriotism we
might doubt. But while we may not
doubt Mr.. Wilson's moral integrity,
we are free to question his intellectual
integrity. 1t is our conviction that he
has come to see that heavy losses to
trade, commerce, agriculture and la
Dor will follow his heavy reductions
in tariff rates, and that he is seeking
temporary and dangerous panacea
for the ills it will bring. He speaks
of both the tonic and the discipline
of liberty Vaguely and beautifully
definitely but never specifically, he
committed himself to plan of infla-
ton under which governing board
controlled by his appointees would be
empowered to initiate currency by au-
thorizing emergency issues of notes
at tax rate to be fixed by itself, at
its own discretion. to mandatorily fix
the weekly bank rate for the regional
banks, to require reserve bank in
one district to rediscount for bank
in another district, and to exercise
practically all of the powers of in
creasing the volume OF currency al
most on its own initiative. 1t is i'm
possible to avoid the conviction that
rather than recede from the free trade
program, Mr.. Wilson has determined
to give a wound and administer a
narcotic for the pain"

Denver News notes the opening of
a new parish house in that city with
dance wherein the dancers "tango-
ed" "bunny-hugged," "grizzly-bear-
ed" "born-piped ragged" "the quick
silver glide" concluding with the "pa
resis glide" The latter IS supposed
to be the climax. If such dances are
countenanced by church societies can
they be cut out of public dances We
say not. Society people appear large
Iy responsible for these supposedly
wicked dances, although the writer
must confess nc has never Witnessed

When a man has twenty-ons chill

When man has twenty-ons chill
dren and wife to support, and only
one farm to do it with, he is up against
it, even if the farm is in Kansas. That
is what Carey Roush, who lives near
lola, is up against His wife asked
for divorce; said her husband had
failed to support her and the chill
dren. The judge granted the divorce,
and gave Mrs. Roush the farm, but
said she had to allow her divorced
husband to live on the farm. That's
