INSANE CUBAN
ATTEMPTS TO
SEVER JUGULAR
R GLAND Hernandez,
Misses Death; Now
At Mendoza.

Roland Hernandez, the Fennimore
young man confined in the county Jail
on charge of robbery, attempted
suicide by cutting his throat about
ten o'clock Sunday morning. He was
prevented from carrying out his in
sane design by activity of the sheriff.
Following medical treatment he was
examined and ordered committed to
Mendoza. Monday noon Deputy Dyer
and Willard Smith took him to Men
dota.
Hernandez is 81 years old, native
of Key West, Fla, and son of a Cuban
mother and Spanish father. He is in
poor circumstances, running a pic
ture show at intervals and gambling
for a living. He was around Fenni-
year ago. He returned last winter
with an American woman companion.
1t was said Monday that statutory
warrant might be issued for the
woman he had been living with.
OF the five people, three men and
two women, arrested couple Of
weeks ago on charge of robbing one
Fred Jones, Roland was the only one
unable to give bail In Jail he
brooded, finally determining that he
was being made "the goat" for the
others. He talken in d rambling and
melancholy way but not much was
thought Of it.
Sunday morning Sheriff Holmes
stepped into the cell corridor just as
Hernandez put a razor to his throat.
Holmes thought the man was shaving.
Here goes Dick" shouted Hernandez
as he drew the razor across his
throat from below his left ear to his
Adams apple. Holmes grabbed the
man calling for help. Mrs. Holmes
summoned a doctor.
Hernandez insisted that he wanted
to die. 81 made a good job of it;
leave me alone" he said. He seemed
unconcerned saying: "They are not
going to hang me-" This remark and
other statements indicated his de-
ranged condition.
Hernandez was kept under con-
slant guard until he left Lancaster.
Unless infection sets in he will re-
cover from his self inflicted and deep
wound.

PUBLIC FORUM
VOTER ON CONSOLIDATION

dlu.
While reading Mr.. Bishops letter in
regard to consolidated schools | was
wondering if Bishop did not live in
district that was benefited by con-
solidating and when l read your edi-
torial l knew l was right, but | am
still wondering why we have such
fool laws that will allow few school
officers to rake in all the outside ter
ritory they want to help pay their
high school tax. Now if Bloomington
or any other town think it would be
such a fine thing to consolidate why
don't they offer to haul their children
out into the country, but there is
nothing doing, but they call meeting
to vote on the question of consolida-
ton and they usually get beat, but no
matter, they can appeal to the County
Board and they think the hay seeds
don't know what is good for himself.
So no matter how big majority was
against consolidating, the school
board will decide in favor of consol-
idating nine times out sOf ten of
course, the other fellow can appeal to
the State superintendent, but will it
do any good? 1 think not for that is
too close to the 'U," the head of the
whole thing and if there is not some
thing done we will not need any dis
trict board, county board, county high
way commissioner or town boards, for
Madison will run the whole business
We live in hopes there will be men
elected this fall that will take some
of the power from the boards and
commissions.

EP|SCOPAL|ANS
WILL CONVENE
Revision of Prayer Book and
Campaigns Will be Con-
Sidered Sept. 6

CHICAGO, Aug. "a (Bv The AS
ISOLATED Press)-Continuance of the
revision of the Book of Common
Prayer and plans or carrying on
the Nationwide CampAig,; start
ed three years ago are among the
important questions of legislation 10
come before the triennIal general
convention of the Episcopal church
which opens in Portland, Ore, Sep
TENDER 6. The convention Is ex-
pected to be in session from fifteen
to twenty days.
There has been a commission on
the Prayer Book revision Ter some
years. and at each convention some
definite progress has been made in
the enrichment of the Book Of Com
mon Prayer. Any change, however,
must be approved by both the House
of Bishops and the House of Depu-
ties at n convention, referred to
the various dioceses for their con-
sideration, and then must come be-
fore both Houses of the succeeding
convention for final approval. No
change, therefore, a be made in
the prayer book that has not been
brought before the whole church
for consideration.
The Nationwide Campaign was
inaugurated at the Detroit conven-
ton in 1919. The church then
planned to raise $4,000, 600 for
missions religious education and So
cial service during the years from
1919 to 1929. The dioceses were
organized to carry on this effort
and while the amount actually
raised was short of the goal set
there was a large and marked in
crease in the amount of money on-
tributed throughout the church. The
income of the Presiding Bishop and
Council for the general work of the
church was almost double ard there
was a total increase in the income
of the church for all purposes of
100000 600 in one year. While only
81, 900, 900 of this was for general
church purposes, the bulk of the in
crease was applied to the salaries or
clergy, construction, and develop
ment work in the dioceses and in
parishes and missions. The salaries
of the clergy were increased ST.
41S,000 in 1920. with a still fur
Their increase of $4,000 IN 1921.
At tn coming convention plans
will be decided upon for the work
of the next three years. 1t is prob
able that the church will be asked
to raise $21 900, 900 for the general
work of the church during hat per-

WEATHER and CROPS

Synopsis of weather and crop con-
ditions in New Jersey for the week
ending Tuesday, August %, 1922:
The past week vas one of the
warmest of the summer, with ample
sunshine. followed by a cool wave at
the close. The early part of the
week was o dry IN OIL districts.
but rain on Saturday relieved su;h
crops as needed the additional nois-
ture. The dry heat was beneficial
to corn which is apparently niatur-
ing satisfactorily. The ground was
a little dry for blowing, but much
land was prepared for wheat and
rye. Meadows and pastures con-
tinue better than usual at this time
of year. Digging of potatoes pro-
crosses, and the crop is large and Of
good quality. Tomatoes. peaches.
and apples are ripening in generous
abundance. Lima beans and melons
are yielding well, although there are
more unsatisfactory conditions in
these crops than in nan others.
Peppers are a good crop. Sweet po-
tatoes and cranberries are making
a good growth; cranberry picking
will in two weeks. To-
matoes and melons have ripened SO
rapidly hat markets are o~vercrowd-
ed with them, and consequent low
prices. Grapes are ripening.
