calls attention to the fact that at

is expecting his support. Down at
Des Moines the news writers predict a
convention selection for governor be-
cause kuehn!e's candidacy will destroy
Harding's hope OF obtaining So per cen.

THOSE LADIES AID SOCIETIES

AS business institution that great
auxiliary Of the church. the ladies' AID
society, is an anomoly. Promoting an
undertaking without profit and yet
with surplus in the treasury IS
financial feat often accomplished by
the women.
Most of the undertakings of the
ladies' aids are the promotion Of din
ners and bszaars. They will agree to
feed hundred or multitude, and
Go it with neasness and dispatch and
at financial return that would make
a professional caterer swear at impos-
sible competition. Yet the good ladies
turn the trick every few weeks or
months and are ready to repea, as &C.
cas!on requires.
The secre: Of this unbusinesslike but
successful tinanciering is not difficult
TO understand If one delves into the
workings of the aid societies. Solicita-
ton is the secret. coupled with large
amount OF individual and cooperative
effort. This solicitation Is confined to
the membership Of the society Pies,
cakes, bread. vegeta bles and other edi-
bles are forthcoming. Some find it
more convenient to contribute a nom
NAL sum in cash. Meats and ice cream
must be purchased on a cash basis,
and these two items constitute a large
part of the general expense. Perhaps
900 people will be fed for a nominal
fee per head And when the bills are
paid and the profits totaled, it is
usually found that the society would
De loser were it not for the contriDu-
tons OF edibles and money. Thus the
members Of the aid are taxed doubly
in work and in donations. The appar-
ent profit goes to make up a deficit in
tn echurch budget, or to paint the par
sonage, or 10 redecorate the church in
side or out. 1t all goes to a good
cause and the good women find salts
faction in the doing-in the apparent
success OF their cooperative endeav-
ors and in the resultant social inter
course.
Let the gooG work go on. The ladies'
aid is indispensable to the church. 1t is
the real foundation of its social and
financial conduct and an inspiration
to the preacher and the laymen. The
church couldn't live without it, and
civilization would disappear without
the church. SO there you are.

Seeds which originate In the belliger-

WISCONSIN'S MARRIAGE Law.
| dubuque Telegraph Herald.1
| Wisconsin has had a year in which
to try out the worth OF it's eugenic
marriage law and the report on the
laws workings. which has been pre-
pared by DR.. c. A. Harper. secretary
Of the state board Of health and vital
statistics. which he recently submitted
to the legislature, is an interesting COM
mentary. The report shows q decrease
in the number Of marriages In 1914,
| over 1913. Of nearly 20 per cent.
The Wisconsin law IL. in q sense,
miscalled the eugenic marriage law.
While 1t does strictly prescribe the
state of health In which the male con-
tracing party must be At the time Q
marriage license is issued. the Law 10
not intended as a eugenic measure,
since Its provisions insist only on free
dom from venereal diseases and do not
review the general health Of both ap-
plicants as would true eugenic law.
Nevertheless the law is undoubtedly 4
step in the right direction.
That there is real. q pressing need
10 curb propagation among the mental
~ and physically unft has been
thoroughly and completely demon
strated by medical science. The GER
tainty with which the faint of certain
forms of venereal disease in the
parents is manifested in the offspring
has been established beyond dispute
There is, in most communities today,
to be found at least one example Of
~ tee
physically tainted persons to marry and,
though conditions today are not so
hopeless as those depicted in lbsen's
Ghosts" yet they are bad enough to
warrant such legislation against their
duplication as the Wisconsin statute
contemplatos.
review Of the statistics Of the
insane asylums and sanitariums for
the helplessly mentally and physically
deformed Is sufficient to call forth,
from the horror inspired, an unquali-
fied approval Of the purpose Of the
eugenic law.
Altho the decrease in marriages in
Wisconsin has been from 2l.052 in
1913 to 1925 in 1914. drop OF 3, 1877. DR..
Harper is of the opinion that not all
the decline is due to the operation Of
the eugenic law. Many marriages Of
Wisconsin people, DR.. Harper asserts,
were performed outside the state and
a number Of common law marriages
were solemnized, for which certificates
were not issued. Most Of the mar
riages performed outside the state
were between people who view the law
as impertinent.
But whatever the cause may be for
the decline in the number OF marriages
in Wisconsin the eugenic law should
be recognized as step, the intent OF
which. Is in the right direction and the
experiment should be given further
test
