oa a ‘WHE TELS | WHY MAN'S ON MARKET Not a Question of Keeping the Wolf Out, Because He Is Already In BOSTON, Sept. 1.—In a little white cottage in Rockland, near here, to day, Mr, and’ Mra, Carl Russell un-| folded their alan for selling Mr, Rus | sell by lottery and explained the tn: eentive for jit. Quite as if she were talking about getting rid of the “fivver” or a seo * ond-hand typewriter, Mrs. Russell, who ts 29,, sald she liked best sald to mo that there must be 20,000 women in ‘the United States who would invest $5 each in tickets on a good husband.” $75,000 FOR, LILLIAN AND THE CHILDREN “And my plan,” said young Mr, Russell, “supposing we should dis) pose of the 20,000 tickets, is to turn over $75,000 of the proceeds to Lil- Man and the children, and with ¢ remaining $25,000 go Into business. ‘The reporter suggested that a hus- band lottery might run afoul of the Antilottery law or attract unfavor- able attention from the postoffice department. “In that, case,” sald Russell, “an Suction might do.” Mra, Rumpell objected: “I prefer the lottery, or raffie, be- qause it would give the woman of small means an equal chance.” And Russell said with a sigh: “Well, if it has got to be an auc tion the bidding will have to start ‘Bt $20,000." _ “At least that.” said Mrs. Russell. THEY'VE GOT TO DRIVE OUT THE WOLF—HE'S IN “Our sole purpose for making this suggestion,” Russell sald, “is the welfare of seven children, the young- est nine months and the oldest a beautiful and talented girl of 13. “The fact of the matter fs that we are up against it. It isn't a case of Keeping the wolf from the door any Jonger—he is in, and we've got to get him out, “Ten days ago I sold the grafonola to a second-hand dealer. Last week it was the kitchen range. We had parted with several other things at that time and as the men marched *I don’t know whht I shall let go of Rext—probably my husband’ “It was said, of course, jokingty, ' for we learned long ago to smite in the face of adversity; but by George, the more we talked about It the more it appeared an inspiration. “Why not? What's wrong about it? These children are entitied to a living, an education and a chance. I can't give it to them under exist tng circumstances. I'd be willing to die for them, but what good would that do? FIRST SHE PROPOSED A SIMPLE ADVERTISEMENT “So,” said Mrs. Russell, “it was) my first idea simply to put an ad vertisement in some big eastern city | paper. Something like this: “Hus-| band for Sale: The subscriber, for) the best of reasons, offers for sale her-husband, Carl Russell; age, 24; height, 5 feet 10 inches; weight, 172; | hair brown and plentiful, blue eyes, teeth perfect; racial stock native! American; diligent worker of excep | tional habits. Write to (Mrs.) Lilian Russell, Rockland, Mass.’ | “The objection to that plan,” said| Husband Russell, “was that it would _ not have brought money enough for our needs.” I am a shoe worker, and until the slump in the shoe camps, some ten or eleven weeks ago, I was as busy as a nailer.” “Didn't you save fnything?™ asked the reporter. “Save?” said Russell. “How could I save with nine mouths to feed, nine bodies to clothe and the rent to pay? “I have read editorials in the news- papers about the working man's craze for silk shirts and silk socks and high powered cars, but, by jim- iny, I haven't indulged in those| things. Old Mr. High Cost has kept my nose right up next to the grind-| stone. Until the shops shut down the wolf was around the corner. When I had been loafing two weeks | he was in the yard. A month ago! he was up on the doorstep. | MAN WITH A FAMILY HAS TO STEP LIVELY “The past few years may have| been glorious times for the unmar.| ried shoe worker, and I have no doubt they were, but the man with ® houseful of youngsters has had to ep lively to keep a jump and a halt ahead of the sheriff. “And that is all there ts to our story, except that we have now got so far behind that we have been |{! ordered to look for another house. If| neither the lottery nor the auction plan brings us some money, it looks as if the house will be #o thoroly | cleared of furnishings that we shall not need a moving van.” As the interview cloned and the| reporter rose to leave, Mrs. Fussell whispered a suggestion to her hus band, } “A good idea,” was Russell's com. ment. Then he added: i “By the way, while I do not like | to brag about myself, I think the) women of the United States ought to| know that I have dabbled in pho-| tography, drawing and music, I can play the mandolin and almost every |} other kind of manta 24 | ron? com “rome . | Auto Theft Brings One-Year Sentence Pleading guilty to a charge of stealing a $1,500 automobile belong: ing to G.
