AGED MAN
COMMITS SUICIDE
SHOOTS SELF THROUGH HEAD
WITH RIFLE

Israel Clark, eighty years old, kill
ed himself early this morning at the
home of his sonin-Iaw, Leon Baugh-
man, who lives about a mile this
side Of Rudolph
District A ttorney J oh4 Roberts,
Sheriff Bluett and Undersheriff Car
lin and John ETnser from the Ragan
undertaking establishment went out
to the farm this morning. The body
was brought to the Ragan Undertak-
ing parIors and will be shipped to
Woodfird, Wis, the deceaseds old
home, for burial.
Following is the story as told by
the son-in-law; Israel Clark had
been making his home with his
daughter for the last Il years, and
was apparently in good health and
enjoying life4 He was in normal
condition yesterday and no cause is
known as to why he should take his
own life. 1t has been Mr.. CIarks Gus
tom to rise at 5: 80 O'Clock and start
the kitchen fire. He did this as
usual yesterday. The son-in-law got
up at $50 o'clock and went to the
kitchen and found the old gentleman
sitting in chair with his head
thrown back and a 1920 Marlin re-
peating rifle between his knees. Both
Of Mr.. Clark's hands were on or
near the trigger guard and hammer
of the rifle, and the butt Of the
rifle was resting on the floor. The
young man called up neighbor, who
in turn called DR.. Jackson from Ru-
dOlph. DR.. Rudolph phoned to Dis
trict Attorney Roberts, who got the
sheriff, undersheriff and undertaken
and went out to the farm. The body
had not been disturbed and was
found by the officers in the position
as stated in the foregoing. The
bullet had penetrated the throat and
brain and passed out about two
inches back from the forehead.
A most careful examination made
by the officers and physicians, and
it was the unanimous opinion of
all that it was very plainly case
of suicide.

Cooperation with the G. A. R. and

with increased interest. Patriotic
entertainments, already referred to,

ing for time and effort on the part

the same line. It is not necessary,
however to specify further just
what form of activity be followed.
Carefully read the principles and OBJ

suade as many of the sons as posi-

effect. If members become active the
organization is active. Numbers, a
surplus in the treasury, camp equip

alone make a camp great, but that
camp is greatest which serves the
most along the lines indicated by the
principles and objects. The w. R.

ber OF interested farmers present.
Prot. Otis and Prof Watrud of the

gave interesting talks. Prof. Otis
first took up the results of the pres
ent contest Each farmer was given
a sheet on which there was data
showing how his farm compared with
the average Of the county, the aver
age OF the state, che best ten in
the state and the poorest ten i'm
the state The points compared were
managerial income. total capitaLop-
Grating capital, total acres, acres in
crops, number OF cows, income per
COW, number of other classes of live
stock. number of acres OF different
kinds OF crops and yields per acre
of each
The average managerial income of
OF thirty-five farmsin Wood ooun-
ty was $55609. the average for the
state, 44O farms. being $S44S6.
The operating capital in Wood
County was $2796,5S, the average for
the state S4656.6S. This means mon
ey invested in machinery, live stock,
etc. Mr. Otis said what Wood coun-
ty needs is more money invested in
operating capital. Not more stock
but better stock.
The average farm in Wood county
has Is cows,the average for the state
is lis On making a study of the
data it was shown that the manas-
ing income increased with the mum
ber CT COWS on the farm. This seem.
ed to be one of the greatest influen
ces towards a large income.
Wood county averages only twt
sows per farm. The average for the
state is 6. The average income pei
SOW in Wood county was. sos. A. This
is q good showing Mr.. Otis asket
the question rs TO whether it woult
not be profitable to raise mOrt
hogs. The data showed that WI
