 As soon as the body had slipped through the aperture in the floor, everyone seemed to feel easier. All advanced to the hole in the floor and curiously peered into the dark abyss. which contained all that was mortal of Francisco H. Rodriguez. After six minutes the prison physician entered the room below and applied a stethe scope to the body. He backed away, and by this sign the watchers up stairs knew that he was not yet dead. At intervals of every two min utes an examination was made until finally, at 4:321l the doctor an- Inounced that Rodriguez was officially dead.
 As the prison physician opened Rodriguez clothes to make the first examination a picture of a young woman fell to the floor. It was dis covered later that it was a photo l

 coat pocket and buried with him.
 One of the guards entered the
 chamber below, lifted the body, the
 rope was cut from above, and the
 body was placed in a plain pine
 coffin. In less than thirty minutes
 after Rodriguez had entered the
 death chamber his body was on its
 way to the prison burying ground.

PORTLAND, May 19.-Early re- turns from the primary elections held by the democratic, republican and progressive parties in Oregon today indicated no doubt that the parties had expressed their preference for presidential nominees as follows:
 Democrats-Woodrow Wilson.
 Republican-Charles E. Hughes.
 Progressives-Th Roosevelt.
 President Wilson was nominated without opposition in his party.
 Although there was no presidential candidates name on the progressive ballot, Colonel Roosevelts name was written in almost without exception.

 HUGHES AND ROOSEVELT

The overwhelming lead which Jus tice Hughes took from the start over his opponents, Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa. and former Sen ator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, both of whom had stumped the state, came as a surprise even to Hughes sup porters.
 As an indication of the strength of Justice Hughes, the first S2 precincts in Portland to send in partial returns gave Hughes 431, Cummins 172, Bur ton 11O Reports from other parts of the state indicate that Hughes would receive a majority in proportion to the Portland vote.

Hardy was a schoolmate of Rodriguez.
 The request that his body be turned over to his sister was not regarded, as she had earlier in the day, while at the prison, stated that she did not want it. She was at the prison twice before the execution and both times Rodriguez refused to see her She ] took on in an hysterical fashion, and | each time it was necessary to Send her vback to her home in Florence in an auto.

A full crop is important, and possible

at Howard Lake, has averaged 1927

years. The cost of barrels, spraying,

Counting Costs on Farm.

Two 16O-acre farms in southern
Minnesota forcibly illustrate how
much higher horse labor and machin-
cry costs may be on one farm than
on another. The first of these farms
had $425 worth of machinery and five
work horses; the other $3.50 worth
of machinery and seven work horses.
These farms had equally good crops
and each raised one colt. The an
nual cost of machinery and horse lab
or, calculated on this basis, was 1864
for the first farm and 1857 for the
second. Each day the second farm
paid SLIP more than the first in
horse labor and machinery costs
alone. No farmer can afford to keep
machinery and work horses that are
not used proftably. Can such a leak
be found on your farm?-Alva H. Ben
ton.
