ROBERT 8. SALMON
DRINKS CARBoLIU ACID.

Robert Salmon, well known
painter and decorator OF this
city, age about ~ years, in a
fit Of despondeIlcy took his own
life Tuesday morning, between z
and s o'clock, by drinking about
three ounces Of carbolic acid.
His mother, Mrs. Fannie Sal
mon, with whom he made his
home in East Hickman, was in
the kitchen preparing breakfast.
when the unfortunate fellow com
mitted the rash deed. Mrs. Sal
mon was Mortified when she re-
turned to the living room to call
Bob to breakfast and found him
in a manner dead. He had pour
ed the acid into a shaving mug
before drinking it, and the mug
was stiil in his hand when he was
found. Sam evidently contem
plated the act. He took quilts
from his bed and spread ON the
sofa, scratched the label on the
acid bottle so that il would be
ineligible and wrote ON the
back of telegram, which re-
quested money for his daughter,
the following: "No money, but
acid. Don't blame anybody but
Bob"
Mr.. Salmon probably, just like
the rest of use had faults, but
the good Outweighed the bad.
Domestic troubles, dating back
several years, when he and his
wife separated, was probably one
of the most distressing troubles.
This separation took from him
his little daughter, Miss Robbie,
a bright, pretty little girl, and
who is now about l6 years old.
The daughter is with her mother
in Paducah. This, and other
things coupled with it, preyed
on the unfortunate man s mind
and life reached the point with
him where he deemed the
game not worth the candle. y
Life must be indeed sad-utterly
so-when the heart is so hungry
for love-when ambition dies -
when there is nothing but the
ashes of the past-that one pre-
fers death 10 living.
II Mr.. Salmon is survived by his
mother, three brothers, Sam, ST.,
Oscar and Grover, all of Hickman
and one sister, Mrs. Bcckie Bus
hart, of st. Louis.
II Funeral services were held at
the residence Yesterday after
noon, and the body consigned 70

CHEERED BY FORD
President Finds a Man After
His Own Heart,
Detroit Manufacturer Says
There Is No Depression.

Washington. July S.-Optimistic
views of business conditions were pre-
sented to President Wilson today by
Henry Ford. the Detroit manufacturer,
during an hours conference a. the
White House. Mr.. Ford told the presi-
dent he saw no evidences of any sort
of business depression, psychological
or otherwise, and said that in his
opinion business was getting better all
the time.
There is absolutely nothing wrong
with business" Mr.. Ford told the
president. 1.-The only trouble is that
some people seem pessimistic. If
everyone would only cheer up and at
tend to his business this calamity talk
would stop Immediately"
The president and Mr.. Ford discuss
ed the trust bills in a general way as
well as the business situation. Off
cials close to the president said he was
greatly encouraged by his talk with
Mr.. Ford and that he had been further
strengthened in his determination to
push the trust program during the
present session Of congress. Mr.. Ford
refused to discuss his call. saying that
talk Of business depression was un-
worthy Of denial.

BIG CROP NEEDED
Total for the World Is Not
Above the Average.
The Government Holds Ont
Hope for Good Prices.

Washington, July 9.-Despite a
wheat crop estimated this year at
930,O0O,O0 bushels. the largest on rec
ord, no hope is held out by the depart
ment of agriculture for greatly re-
duced prices. Such a large crop would
augur very low prices, according to a
statement today, were it not that the
worlds crop Of wheat and competing
grains do not promise more than the
average of recent years. Besides more
than the usual diversion of wheat
from it's use as food to the use Of feed
for live stock may be expected because
of the present relatively short supply
of corn in sections where there is a
promise of abundant wheat.
With corn selling in Kansas for
about seven cents more per bushel
than wheat, it Is not surprising, off,
cials say, that much wheat should be
consumed as feed by animals. The
Kansas corn crop last year was only
23.OOO,0O0, compared with the usual
production of 15O,OO0,0OO bushels.
This years estimates are for a crop of
10000, 00O bushels of wheat.
It is estimated that about 45,000,-
900 bushels of wheat of last years
crop was consumed as animal food.
OF the average annual production of
686, 100000 bushels of wheat during
the past five years, about 581, ,0O0, 900
were retained in this country and 49,
