SHOOTS HIMSELF.
Grows Despondent Over The Death Of
His Fathcr--GOes 10 Vacant HOusc
and Uses Shotgun.

Jesse Goodson. single man, 80
years old, living northwest of Ben
ton City. took a shotgun Saturday
morning and started out to shoot
some birds, as he said. A vacant
house stands on the farm, and some
time later Fred Pearson, who was
employed on the farm, passed by the
house and noticing the door open
stopped to close IL when he dis
covered the dead body. Mr.. Good
sons gun was near him and a ghastly
hole was torn thru his body near the
heart, He had tied a string to the
door knob and then to the trigger of
the gun and evidently had placed the
muzzle of the gun at his heast and
pulled.
County Coroner DR.. II. w. Berrey
of Mexico went to the home and view
ed the body. II was too evidently a
suicide and an inquest was not held.
Jesse Goodson was a fine young
man. He was a member of Hebron
Masonic Lodge in Mexico and was al
so a member of the Odd Fellows
and moving.
by his neighbors. No reason is known
why he should have taken his own
life. His father, DR.. Frank Goodson,
died suddenly in February, and Jesse
had taken the death in great sorrow
and mo0rning.
Our sympathy goes out to the be-
reayed, ones.

Our ideas In making this advance All
principally and solely TO make the
price paid for the crop I'D entirely at
tractive that the farmer will almost
NV forced I'd increase hi acreage
which naturally will result in large
increases In Carroll County's assist
ance in the Preparedness move
It Is hardly necessary to advise you
all that the package of goods like
canned vegetables are tremendous
assistance tO the Quarter Masters De-
partment of both the Army and Navy,
| III giving our soldiers who are to bear
the brunt of this war proper food
supplies. A balanced ration absolute
liz calls for green vegetable food and
can be w securely and safely pre-
served as i'm the form they are being
produced by the Gamers Of the United
States.
We urge the farmers, therefore, tn
step forward now and help us in
crease Carroll County's quota of a.
sistance. We have already taken ur-
gent steps and will continue to Get
into close communication with the
proper authorities and intend To let
the Government have the surplus
which we should have over and above
contracts made.
we also would like to call the at
tention Or the farmers i'm Carroll
County that through the efforts or
medium of the b. +. Shriver Company
their produce has for years been part
OF the ration OF both our gallant sail
arr and soldiers. Only two years ago
they furnished the United States Navy
with 100000 cans Oh corn.
You can well appreciate the fact
that Ii Is impossible for us to go to
our five hundred o. more customers
and ask them to help US absorb the
loss which we will incur in this adj
vance which will run into tens at
thousands or dollars.
If we are to pay this advance and
suffer this severe monitOry loss, our
effort in assistance will, OF course, 60
for nothing; If on the other hand the
farmers w the county ana others I'm
the neighhoring countries will show
their appreciation OF the effort as
well al their appreciation Of the call
OF the President and our Honored
Governor, the amount spent by the
Company will TO- amply justified in i'm
creasing Carroll County's quota OF
food assistance.
we would just like to call the at
tentIOn Of the citizens Of Carroll
County to one other similar effort we
are making in the General Prepared
ness move, that being that we are
planting on our own farms approx
mately thirty acres OF Potatoes which
as you all know should produce many
thousands OF bushels of this staple,
the value of which will b. very great
ID helping the local supply.

The B. Az. ShriTer Company hereby
announce To those who have con-
tracted to grow Sweet Corn for their
factories at Westminster, Sykesville

ait their Receiving Stations at Finks-
burg and Manchester, that the price
ON ALL contracts and prospective con-
tracts for Sweet Corn will be $500

I'm view of this advance and at this
late period III the season, we feel IL
our duty and pleasure to explain the
reasons for so doing, also to empha-
size the sacrifice OF cost entailed.
linn accordance with the Company
long-established business principals
and methods, Tine Management some
months ago sold to customers in
twenty-five states in the Union about
400, 900 cases (meaning upwards of
eight million cans) or goods based on
the cost OF production with corn at
our announced contract price or $13
Der tom. we further wish tO state
that we have already contracted with
the farmers w Carroll county for
sufficient acreage to cover these TO-
Quirements at our figure. In the
meantime as every one knows our
Nation has taken sides il the world
war now waging ON foreign soil and
i'm lining IT'D positively with the Allies,
notably England and France; the
entire country is called upon by OUT
President and Congress and specifi-
cally in this State by our Honorable
Governor, Emerson G.. Harrington, to
produce the utmost limit of good.
We have endeavored to- urge hy onr
solicitors for acreage the farmers and
growers in Carroll County particu-
lar1ys to come forward and increase
their acreage I'd our factories are
able to handle thousands OF more
acres of Sweet Corn than we have so
far contracted for.
So far our efforts have met with
very meagre support, though we are
happy to state with some little sup
port from patriotic citizens.
