OHIO MAN SUICIDES
IN PRESENCE OF FAM
lily LAST MIDNIGHT
John Paul, Well Known PEBBLES, Ohio,
Resident, Takes His Own Life With
Revolver - III Health Is
Given As Cause.

Word received here this morning by
friends is to the effect that John Paul,
fifty-fve years of age, well known res
ident of PEBBLES, Ohio, committed sui
eide at his home last midnight in the
presence of his entire family by tear
ing hole through his brain with re-
volver.
Mr.. Paul was prosperous Adams
county farmer and considered one of
the best citizens of that section of our
neighbor county. He had been in i'll
health for several years and this is as
signed as the cause for his rash act by
his relatives and friends.
Although it had been known that the
man had been worried much about his
failing health in recent days, it was
not expected that he was contemplat-
ing such an action. 1t was near the
midnight hour when he awakened the
members of his family and fired the
shot into his brain which caused his
instant death.
The Coroner of Adams county is to-
day making a careful Investigation in
to the sad affair

THUNDERSTORMS SOUR MILK
Theory Held by Many People, but Az.
thorities Attribute Trouble
TO other Causes.

The season for thunderstorms is AT
hand and good many farmers wives
Will be concerned about the souring
Of the milk. The theory is held by a
good many that thunder will sour the
milk. but authorities say the souring
should be attributed to other causes.
They say that the souring is caused
normally by the acidity which results
from bacterial growth and sterilized
milk will not sour during a thunder
storm Neither will milk that is kept
on ice. The probable explanation lies
In the fact that during the storms Of
this kind the temperature is raised
sufficiently to favor the multiplication
OF the milk-souring bacteria where the
temperature is not regulated by the
use Of ice.

OR DIED OF RESULTING INJURIES
THEREFRoM DURING

"Eaeh Year II Becomes More and More
Dangerous for a Person to Walk on

Statement Said.

hundred aud eight persons were KILLED
in automobile accidents, or died as ,
result of injuries therefrom during th,
last year. the Census Bureau an
nounced in statement offering sug
gestons for traffic Improvement Al
automobile accident death rate of III
out of every 100000 of population was
reported for 1919. an increase over ev'
cry year since 1915 when the rate was
so. aud an increase of 2i5 In the total
number Of deaths over 1918.
Each year IL becomes more and
more dangerous for person to walk
ON the Streets" the Census Bureaus
statement said. THE reason usually
given. and probably the correct one, Is
that the number of automobiles IN use
constantly is increasing. How then
shall this ever-lncreasing danger be
lessenedy The obvious remedy is to
improve constantly the traffic regula-
tions to keep pace with the ever-in-
creasing number Of automobiles.
"Thls call for better and better traf-
nc regulations is not n fanciful one.
Everyone is familiar with the neces-
when crowd energies from circus
tent and similarly automobile traffic
must be slowed down and controlled
until It becomes safe. The 1919 rates
for Kansas City. Mo-. San Antonio ant
Cleveland. all much lower than for
1918, provides a ray of hope that we
finally are waking up"
Suggestions made by the Bureau for
Traffic Improvement follow: Erection
of street crossings Of curhed safety

spots. should be close together. Con-
Struction of additional crossings in the

cess 10 pasture. at 1876 acres OF pas
ture per horse. This is an allowance
of 1924 pounds Of grain, 9,400 pounds
Of hay and 1886 acres Of pasture per
year for each working horse. The
horses observed were working regu-
larly on Illinois farms under usual
farm conditions.
With these figures as a guide, II is
not difficult to compute the cost per
horse per year. Manure produced by
horses and colts is valuable to the
farmer and offsets feeding costs at
present grain prices to the exten. Of
approximately s39 per year for a
drafter and $50 per year for a daft
colt. This is placing its worth at IS
per ton.
At present, figuring corn at 90c,
oats at COO, hay at S25 per ton and
SIS per acre for pasture rent, the
total board bill for a working horse
comes to $117.35 per year. The
farmer substracts from this the value
Of fertilizer contributed, 500, leaving
but $7s.35 expense for a years feed
ing.
These exact figures explode the high
cost of feeding theory. The recent
drop in hay and grain prices is also
an economy argument for city users
Of draft and wagon horses. Nor has
it disturbed the balance between cost
of production and income on farms
where horses and mules are used, for
with the decline of feeding stuffs, the
cost of maintaining farm power like
wise drops.
