CUPID VS.. EUGENIC LAW
A Falling off in Weddings
Shown by Records in
County Clerks Office.

Little dan Cupid" the match
maker, can not feel very proud
of the record made during the
season of 1914 in Bayfield, coun-
ty. Cupid has had to buck up
against tke eugenic law with the
result there has been a decided
falling off in number of marriage
licenses issued. During the year
1914 there was a total of sixty
marriage licenses issued in the
county as against ninety-siX the
proceeding year.
A number escaped the eugenic
law by going to other states to
get their marriage license but
the total will not come up to that
of 1913.
What will Cupid do during
1915 when he has the same old
eugenic law to buck and in
addition to this a revenue tax
which is imposed on all marrying
couples. Dan Cupid's road is
surely hard.

curiosity and he made an examin-
alton. At first he thought a field
mouse had made nest in the
stick and he took it outside where
he split it in half with an ak.
Imagine his surprise when he
discovered that it contained
enough dynamite and caps to blow
the home to atoms.
In telling of the latest outrage
Kowalski said he went out to the
wood pile Friday morning to get
a load of wood for the stove.
When he arrived in the house he
began piling the wood on the
fire. The stick which was loaded
with dynamite was a little bigger
than the rest and some difficulty
was had in getting it in the
stove. This proved to be a lucky
thing for the stick dropped unto
the floor and it was then the
hole was discovered in the end
of it. When Frank split the
wood in half the axe hit within
a half inch of one of the caps.
Had he hit the cap an explosion
would have followed.
The stick which was loaded
was a sound piece of wood. A
two inch auger lad been used
for boring the hole in the stick
and a full stick of dynamite was
placed in each end. The sticks
of dynamite were loaded with
caps and two caps were placed
in the center of the piece of
wood. Had the wood been
placed in the stove nothing
could have saved an explosion.
The boys are unable to figure
out the reason for these outrages.
They are Glacian Poles and have
lived in this country for the past
eleven years. Both are machin-
lists by trade and are exception
ally bright young men.

Is that of Estate. of Fred Carl
son VS. City of Washburn
Will Be Argued for the
City by Attorney
e. G. Alvord.

City Attorney E. G. Alvord
left for Madison on Tuesday
where he will argue a case be-
fore the Supreme court. The
case is one in which Washburn
people are particularly interested
being that of the Estate of Fred
Carlson against the City of
Washburn. Damages in the
sum of $4,000 are asked by the
plaintiff.
1t will be remembered that
Fred Carlson, who was employed
in the mill of the j. S. Stearns
Lumber company in this city,
was killed when he fell over the
railing on Bayfield, street between
5th and 9Th avenues west. This
case was tried before the jury in
the Circuit court in this city, the
jury finding for the plaintiff.
The case was taken out of the
hands of the jury by Judge Ris-
jord who directed a verdict in
favor of the City Of Washburn.
The plaintiffs are appealing
the case to the Supreme court
in the hope of having the
decision reversed.

it is only fair to credit the farm with
having furnished it's occupants wit h
shelter, which as every city worker
knows, has high cash value. On
the Wisconsin farms included i'm the
investigation, the average annual
value of this shelter, in other words
the house rent, was estimated at
$3.50 year, figure which included
interest, depreciation and repairs.
The great factor in the cost of
maintaining life is food. Of this the
average family in the Wise onsin area
consumed $35a.69, 1914 per cent or
$2O9.44 being furnished by the farm
and the rest bought. Thus the per-
centage of homegrown food was a
little less than the general average
for all the areas of 63. and the total
consumption of food was also low,
being $SO.16 for each person as COM
pared with the general average of
|$S9.23, and of $1O5.67 for Iowa.
The average size of the farms was
the same--86 acres-.in the Wisconsin
and the North Carolina areas but in
North Carolina the farm was made
to yield $33O.65 worth of food for
the family's use, in Wisconsin only
$2O9.44.
The longer growing season in the
South is unquestionably partly re-
sponsible for this difference but it is
probable that the Wisconsin men
could have proftably paid more at
tention to the production of food for
home use. Thus vegetables, which
in both cases were practically all
furnished by the farm, formed in
money value 1873 per cent of the
North Carolina diet and only 10 per
cent of the Wisconsin. By greater
production of these the grocery bill
which was 26 per cent of the total
in Wisconsin and only 81 per cent in
North Carolina, could have been re-
duced and the comfort of the family
increased at the same time. The
consumption of animal products-meat
poultry, eggs, etc. was approximately
the same in both areas but in North
Carolina the farm furnished morN.
than 81 per cent of these and in
Wisconsin less than 79. Altogether
the average person in the North
Carolina area had $89.32 worth of
food in the year, in Wisconsin $SO.16
and yet the average farm family in
Wisconsin, spent more than twice
as much money on food as the North
Carolina one did.
1t is thus apparent that the cash
returns obtained from farm may
have comparatively little to do with
the actual living of the family on it.
This is measured not by money spent
but by necessities and comforts en-
|joyed. To increase the quantity of
these which the farm furnishes
directly to it's occupants is an effective
method of raising the standard of
living.

The officers of Bayfield, county
were given quite a scare las
Friday afternoon when two
lyoung men appeared at the court
house with a dynamite bomt
which had been used in the
latest attempt on their lives
The boys were Frank Kowalsk
and Adolph Lackwich, Polish
residents of the town of Kelley.
The tale which they told was
more like the stories of the
settlers of the pioneer days thar
like the story of Wisconsin in the
present day.
This dynamite outrage is MOI
the only attempt that has beer
made upon their lives. On Mon
day of last week their drinking
water supply was poisoned anC
both boys were made violently
i'll and they were just recovering
from the effects of the poison
when the bomb outrage was per
petrated.
The story of their trouble date:
back to the time when they came
| to Northern Wisconsin to hev
out home among the stumps
and brush.
Frank Kowalski and brother
Marion were mac hinists, work
ing at Chicago. Last spring they
purchased from Madden Bros. o1
Chicago a tract of 320 acres o1
land near Maple Ridge in the
town of Kelley in Bayfield, coun
ty. The boys arrived upon theil
newly acquired land during the
month of April, 1914, and i'm
mediately set to work to clear ul
a farm.
They cleared up about five acres
of land and erected a small resi-
dence thereon. AS soon as theil
crops were planted and began tt
grow, cows came upon the lane
and trampled down the crops
They worked hard and planted
more crops and managed to har
vest a crop of potatoes. These
were placed in sacks, but before
the boys could haul them to the
nearest railway station, the
entire lot was stolen.
They also cut ten tons of hay
and this was placed in a new
barn, "a x 35 feet in size which
had been erected on their land
On the evening of December 12t}
while the boys were visiting al
the home of neighbor, theil
barn was set afre and the build
ling and contents were destroyed
In this fire the boys lost many
ltools and some clothing.
By this time, Marion Kowalsk
became discouraged and left fo-
Chicago. Adolph Lackwich cam,
from Chicago to make his hom,
with Frank Kowalski.

Washington, d. C. A survey OF
81 farms in the dairying districts OF
Wisconsin has recently been COM
pleted by the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture, in order to ascertain
how much the average farm con-
tributed to the family's living in the
form of products grown and con-
sumed directly on the farm. There
are two ways of obtaining the nee
essities of life--raising them ones
self, and raising something else to
sell for money to buy them with.
Successful farming, say the experts,
depends upon the proper combination
of the two methods.
The investigators found that in the
area studied in Wisconsin the cost oi
board and lodging on the farm for each
individual was on an average 81 80 a
year. This sum included food, fuel,
oil, house rent and house labor, the
items being as follows:
Food -. ..$ SO.16
Fuel. 1888
OIL. 1.65
House Rent. 80. 31.OO
House Labor -. $500
$I8O.34
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1915-01-14

This is somewhat higher than most
of the results obtained from similar
surveys, made in the course of the
same investigation, of areas in Ver-
mont, Ohio, New York, Kansas,
Pennsylvania, Iowa, Georgia, North
Carolina, and Texas, the average for
all these areas being only $176.
Each of the Wisconsin farms support
ed an average Of AZ persons on Sc
acres, so that in one way or another
a revenue OF $757 AZ was required in
order to supply the family with
necessities. But only a small part
this total expenditure took the form
of cash outlay. Of the labor, for ex-
ample, only about l per cent was
paid for, the rest being performed by
members of the family. Had they
done this work for somebody else,
however, they would have been paid
for it, and if it had been performed
by somebody else they would have
had to pay. In other words, this
labor has cash value, and since it
adds to the comfort of the family,
must be included in the revenue
from the farm.
The charge for rent must be con-
sidered in much the same way. The
value of the farm house is usually in
cluded in the value of the land, and
the whole regarded as the capital
which the farmer has invested in his
