Helen Cudahy a Suicide.

Paris, Oct. 27.-Miss Helen Cud-
ahy, daughter OF Patrick Cudahy, the
Milwaukee meat packer, committed
suicide in mid-ocean October 1o, &C
cording to the army edition of the
Chicago Tribune.
A friend who went 10 her cabin on
the night Of October 49, found the
room empty, the portfolio open and
this hurriedly written note:
at is all for the best. Keep as
much as possible from father and
mother Notify my brother, Mich
ael."
Search OF the boat failed TO reveal
any further evidences OF her disap-
pearance, or any persons who wit
messed the tragedy. Miss Cudahy S
body has not been recovered.
Fear OF submarines is believed to
have been the motive for her act, the
newspaper says. According to this
account, Miss Cudahy, who was CON-
ing to France on Red Cross mis-
sion, appeared to be cheerful in the
early days of the voyage, but when
the submarine zone was approached
and a convoy met the steamer or
which she was a passenger She re
manned in her cabin.

State Dairy Commissioner G. Ben
nett predicted in speech before the
Jefferson City Commercial Club, Sat
urday, that butter will be selling for
ST pound before the coming winter
is over.
when butter went into the stor-
age houses last spring. Mr.. Bennett
said, lit cost about 81 cents per
pound. Last year the butter went
into storage at 22 cents, SO you can
see there will be a sharp increase
this winter in price,"
Mr.. Bennett urged more attention
to dairying in Missouri and the adop-
ton of better methods. Two thou
sand more good cows in each county
would mean an additional revenue OF
$500, 900 per county. he said.

declared that the German soldiers did
not know that the Americans were on
the front or in France, the officers
telling them nothing.
