HIS NERVE BAFFLES POLICE
Victim, Shot Through Lung. Refuses to
Divulge Name of Assailant
Philadelphia, .lan. 13.—The ]>olice
are baffled to ascertain the identity of
the man who on Monday night shot
and seriously wounded Robert Gunuis,
proprietor of a poolroom at 128 South
Ninth street. Believed to be dying,
Guunis lies in the Hahnemann Hospital,
steadilv refusing to divulge the name
of his assailant, other than to announce
that he is "close to the police depart
ment." The man was fount by police
men at Twelfth and .Market streets at
4.30 yesterday morning in a condition
of collapse and taken to tho hoppital.
The wounded man's nerve is remark
able. When told that the shot, which
had penetrated his left lung, might
prove fatal, his only answer was a de
fiant. shake of the head and the re
mark: "Never mind who did it. I'll
fix this matter up later myself. This
is a private affair and I'm game to see
it through."
The only evidence the police have to
work on is the statement of the clerk
of a hotel near Ononis' poolroom, who
said he had seen Gunnis with eight
friends in a cab at 2 o'clock yesterlav
morning. In an effort to get the man
to talk, the police brought to tie hos
pital three of his friends, but all at
tempts to question him failed.

THE COST OF A FARMER'S
LIVING IN PENNSYLVANIA
Average Figured by U. a Department
of Agriculture at $157.44, Which
! Is $ 18.36 Less Than Results Ob
tained in Other States
Washington, D. C., Jan. 13. —A sur
i \ ev of forty-three farms in a seetion of
' Pennsylvania where general farming is
i practiced has recently 'been completed
j bv the United States Department of
Agriculture, in order to ascertain how
! much the average farm contributed to
the family's living in the form of prod
ucts grown and consumed directly on
She farm. There are two ways of ob-
I raining the necessities of life —raising
; them one's self, and raising something
else to sell for money to buy them with.
I Successful farming, say the exports, de
pends upon the proper combination of
she two methods.
The investigators found that in the
area studied in Pennsylvania the cost
of board and lodging on the farm for
! each individual was on an average
I $157 a yeai. 'Phis sum included food,
J fuel, oil, house rent and house labor,
; the items being as follows:
Food. *75.40; fuel, SS.S3: oil,
$1.21; house rent, s3l; house labor,
$11; total. $157.44.
Compared with the figures obtained
by similar surveys made in the course
of the investigation of areas in New
York. Vermont, Ohio, Wisconsin,
Kansas, lowa, North Carolina, Georgia
laud Texas, this is somewhat low, the
j general average for all the areas studied
'•being $176. This means that the farm
family in t'he Pennsylvania area did
not live so well, did not have so good
a share ott the necessities as
those elsewhere. One explanation, ap
i parent at once, is the fact that in
| Pennsylvania an average of 5.2 persons
lived on farms averaging only 7 i acres
eadh. whereas the average acreage for
i all the areas was 122 and the number
I of persons to a family only 4.t>.
It is significant, however, that the
annual consumption of food per person
in Pennsylvania was, with the excep
tion of Vermont, the lowest of all the
j areas Studied, and that at the same
time the percentage of the food sup
i plied directly by the farm was also
| next to the lowest. The Pennsylvania
farm supplied the family with only
j 51.4 per cent, otf its food while the
1 general average of all the areas was 63
| per cent, and in Nortih Carolina it rose
to 82.3 per cent. As a result, al
' though the North Carolina family spent
i in cash only $71.2S for food it actually
| had more to eat —$401.93 —than the
| average Pennsylvania family which
j consumed a total of $392.01, and
! spent $201.69 in cash. The year's food
j for each person in the North Carolina
family was worth $59.3 2; in Penusvl
) vania, only $75.-to.

j DON'T TAKE CALtiMSL
Instead of dangerous, salivating Cal
omel to liven your liver when bilious,
headachy or constipated get a 10-cent
box of Cascarets. They start the liver
and bowels and straighten you up bet

or inukiug vou sick.—Adv.
whicth affords a long-growing season, is
partly accountable for this difference,
the chief explanation lies in the fact
that the North Carolina farms were re
mote from markets, that buying and
selling alike were difficult, and that in
consequence the farmers were compelled
to raise their own supplies. As a re
sult they had a comparative abundance
of food to give thoir families. In Penn
sylvania to a much greater extent the
farmers sold what they had and bought
w"lint they needed. But to a great ex
tent, also, they bought solely what wa
indispensable, and with them the result
was that theiT families lived compara
tively hard.
Fruits and vegetables are among
the things that the farm family be
lieves can be dispensed with. Unless
they are grown on the farm they are
gone without. In Pennsylvania, there
fore, vegetables formed, in money value
only ten per cent, of the family's diet,
while in North Carolina they were 15.3
per cent. and in Georgia 17.2. The
Pennsylvania families made up for the
deficiency by the use of groceries,
which formed 27.1 pc. «ent. of their
food suppiv and 97.S per cent, of which
were bought. They also bought an un
usual amount of meat, more in fact than
any other area, and 40.2 per cent, of
the entire quantity consumed. In North
Oaroli ua this percentage was only 6.3.
On the other hand of those animal
products with which the fsrm might
have furnished them—-poultry, milk
and eggs—each person had very little
—less poultry for example than in any
other State except Vermont, less milk
than anywhere save Georgia and Texas,
both of which States had as a substi
tute great quantities of buttermilk. Of
eggs the average person in the Penn
sylvania area had 18 dozen a year, in
lowa he had 5S dozen.
lif we turn from food to other fac
tors in the cost of living it is even
more evident tihat the average family is
supported, not so much by the cash
from money crops, as by what the
farm yields in other ways. In the
Pennsylvania nrea, with an average
cost of maintenance for each person of
$157 and 5.2 iversons to n farm, in one
way or another a revenue of approxi
mately $Bl6 had to be obtained to meet
expenses. Only a small part of this took
the form of cash. Of the labor, for ex
ample, only about one per cent, was
paid for, the rest being performed by
members of the family. Had they done
this work for somebody else, however,
tihoy 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 a 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 o>f tOie land," and
the whole regarded as tlie capital which
the farmer has invested in his 'business.
If this is done, 'however, it is only fair
to credit the farm with having fur
nished its oc.-upants with shelter, which,
as every city worker knows, has a high
cash value. On the Pennsylvania farms
included in the investigation, the aver
age annual value of this sheiter—in
other words, the house rent—was es
timated at $163 a year, a figure which
included interest, depreciation and re
pairs.
145.90 worth of fuel was burned
j each year. 61 per cent, of which was
bought. This is most unusual, for the
average percentage is 35.9: in Georgia
no fuel at all was bought and in Ver
mont only 4.5 per cent, of a total con
sumption much greater than the Penn
sylvania average. The average Venno-1
family tfp«nt in money no more than
$3.1 S for fuel, the average Pennsyl
vania family, S2S. This was practically
all for coal, for of the sl9 worth of
wood which wa* burned almost all came
from the farm. This lends point to
the contention that the average farmer
does not appreciate the real value of
his woodlot. Not only does it furnish
hini directly in this way with what is
t'he equivalent of a considerable sum,
tout, properly cared for, can be made to
return a cash revenue which is not to
be despised.
This, _ however, is merely a minor
illustration of the general truth, reveal
ed a now by this investigation, that
the cast crop which the average farmer
considers as his source of income is
not always the chief support of his
family. Increasing home production is
an effective way of diminishing casfe
outlay, and in many instances mav
serve the farmer's purpose better than
an attempt to increase cash receipts to
meet increased 1 expenses.

LEADERS ARE PROMISING
TO SUPPORTJRUMOAUCH
Governor-elect, With Big Patronage at
His Disposal, Is Receiving Pledges
That Republican Organization Men
Will Back His Program
(Special to the Star-Independent.)
Philadelphia, Jan. 13.—Republican
leaders are taking every opportunity
those days to assure Governor-elect
Brumbaugh that they will back every
thing he stands for in the shape of leg
islation. This was illustrated yester
day in a statement made by James P.
Woodward, of Allegheny, who probably
will be chairman of the important Ap
propriations Committee of the House.
After a long interview with Dr. Brum
baugh, he emphatically said that the
party should not only redeem its plat
form pledge®, but should also help Dr.
Brumbaugh carry out the pleliges he
made in his personal platform.
" Evidently the Governor-elect has
been studying hard to make himself
familiar with his new job," Mr. Wood
ward said. "He shewed a knowledge
of affairs astonishing in a man who has
not spent some time on the inside of
affairs in Harrisburg."
In reply to a question as to , the
course of the Republican majority in
the coming session of tho Legislature,
Mr. Woodward said:
"Of course the party should! and will
keep every one of its platform pledges.
I will gc further and say that 1 believe
we should also stand back of Dr. Brum
baugh and help him in redeeming the
personal promises hie made. The future
of the party depends upon it."
Woodward is regarded as a Penrose
man and one of the most influential
members of the lower House. It is be
lieved that he personally pledged his
support to the Governor-elect yester
day. There were others who called
upon Dr. Brumbaugh who were also
members of the Legislature, all coming
to tell him they would back him.
At present there is apparently not a
cloud upon th>e sky of Republican unity.
Dr. Brumbaugh saiii yesterday that lie
was still working on his inaugural mes
sage. In spite of this his office was
besieged with people asking favors.
According to all who saw him, the Gov
crnor-eloct told them they would have
to await until he hail l cleared up the
work on hand before ta-lking appoint
ments. The leaders are not worried,
however. They declare Brumbaugh has
not given them any assurances as to his
appointments, but that they are confi
dent he will name flrst-cla.su organiza
tion men to all the big places.
State Senator McMichol said yester
day that the committee authorized by
the Legislature to confer with the new
Governor on legislative affairs would
not meet him until after his inaugura
tion. This committee ha* not yet been
named, but it is certain that Senator
MeNichol will be chairman, as he was
father oif the resolution authorizing it»
The apparent pur[*>so of this committee
is to stand sponsor in the Legislature
for the bills the new Governor may
want passed.
