VIM. H. STATEN
TAKES HIS LIFE AT
PORTSMOUTH HOME
Former Well Known Brown County,
Ohio, Man Takes His Own Life
With Shot Gun at Portsmouth
Tuesday.

Portsmouth, Ohio. - A load of shot
from single barrel shot gun that
tore off the top part of his head was
the means employed by William H.
Staten, well known resident of New
Boston, to take his own life some time
during Tuesday night His lifeless
body was found in a two-room frame
shack in the rear of the Staten home,
1917 Rhodes avenue, New Boston. Two
empty shells were found along with
the empty shot gun which lay across
the dead mans lap. There was a hole
in the roof to show the course of one
shot but there is no hole in the room
o show where the second shot lodged.
On account of Mr. Staten making
statements that neighbors had been
trying to poison him, Coroner ]. D.
Hendrickson removed the mans
stomach and sent it to Columbus for
| analysis by state chemists. He will
not render his verdict until he hears
from the examination of the stomach,
but said that it appeared to be plain
case of suicide surrounded with pecu-
liar facts. The most peculiar facts is
the finding of two empty shot gun
shells and single barrel shot gun. II
IS the belief of neighbors that Mr.
Staten was so intent on taking his own
life that when he missed the first time
he fired again
The first shot, they say, is the one
that probably made the hole in the
roof
Mr.. Staten had been despondent over
| 'amily troubles for about a year His
condition has been worse of late. The
lifeless form sitting in a chair was
| found by Chester Staten, eldest son
Of the dead man. Chester Staten
moved to the Staten home about two
weeks ago and had been caring for his
father and the property The father
had been staying for some time in this
two-room shack on the rear of the let
| Chester had been going to the shack
early each morning and looking in tC
see If his father was all right, for he
was about 60 years of age When he
lCokcd through window he saw his
fathers dead body in the chair Will
the shot gun across his lap. He die
not go into the room, but notified the
coroner at once.
William H. Staten had been resi-
lent of New Boston for about twenty
years, moving to that village from
Grown county. He had been employe

RABBITS HARM FRUIT TREES
Pests Gnaw Bark From Trees and
XIII Many-Safest Way Is to
Wrap With Paper.

Rabbits are very troublesome to or
chardists in some localities. These
pests gnaw the bark from the young
trees and kill many while the trees are
young. In some localities the rabbits
do not wait for winter when green
food is scarce, but late in summer or
early in autumn bark the trees and
injure or ruin them.
The only safe way to protect the
young trees, is to wrap them with
heavy paper or pasteboard. If availa-
bic, tar the paper. Some .manufac-
turers make wood or wire veneer that
protects the trees. These materials
are preferable, for they last and are
easily put around the trunks of the
trees. But ordinary brown paper
tarred will last a season and it does
not take much time to put it on. The
paper is wrapped around the trunks
and tied on with ordinary Irvine.
Whitewash on the trunks will give
some protection, but it Is hardly de-
pendable for season. Rabbits multi
ply very rapidly if let alone: 1t will
pay to protect the young fruit trees.

HOW BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
WON HIS GREAT SUCCESS

In the early days when young
Benjamin Franklin was struggling
to get foothold in Philadelphia,
shrewd business men there predicted
even when he was eating, sleeping
and 'printin gin one room-that he
had a. great future because he was
working with all his might to get
up higher and he carried himself in
a way that gave confidence.
Everything he did was done so
well, with such ability, that it was
a prediction of very much larger
things. When he was only a jour-
neyman printer he did his work so
much better than others and his sys-
tenn was so much better than others
about him and his system so much
superior even to his employers, that
people predicted he would some day
have the business which went to that
firm-which he did.
No one gets very far, or expresses
great power, until he catches a
glimpse of his higher self-until he
feels that the divinity which is stir
ring within him, and which impels
him on the way of his ambition, is
an indication, prophecy of his
ability to reach the ideal which
haunts him.-The New Success.

The English sparrow is every

do they consume a large quantity
of grain but drive away other useful
and, from he farmers point of view,
valuable birds. Fortunately during
the winter time they are easy to
poison and every farmer should as
sist in reducing the number of this
pest. Poison bait may be prepared
as follows:
Dissolve one-eighth ounce of
strychnine sulphate in scant cup
full of boiling water and pour over
two pounds of oven dried wheat.
Mix thoroly and spread on paper to
dry. The poisoned wheat should be
scattered thinly and thoroly wher-
ever the birds are likely to feed,
roofs, back yards, unused poultry
runs, hog lots, manure piles, fence
posts, etc., are favorable places to
put the bait.
Every precaution should be taken
not to endanger domestic animals.
Sparrows are very wise and soon
leave where danger lies so dead birds
should be removed as soon after
poisoning as possible.
The farm bureau is instigating a
campaign against sparrows by plac-
ing poisoned wheat in the hands of
community leaders for distribution
in small quantities. Each commun-
ity is requested to poison on one day,
designated by the community leader,
so that the work will be more effec-
tive.
