Judging Team Chased by Jinx

The high school tock-judging team
which competed in the state contest
last Friday at Madison landed in
thirteenth position However, the boys
are offering no apology as there were
less than one hundred points between
the st. Croix Falls team, who won the
contest, and the Viroqua lads. There
were about two hundred points be-
tween the winners and the last team,
and when it is considered that two
hundred points out of possible twen-
ty-four hundred points have previous
ly separated Just two teams in the
state contest, it can be realized just
how close all the teams finished
Most all of the teams finishing in front
of Viroqua had at least one boy on
the team who competed last year,
while the local boys who composed
this team were green. However,
there is movement on foot by the
University to have all Judging teams
in the future follow Viroqua's example,
and to prohibit any school from using
boys on the teams next year that have
competede before If this is carried
out, then Viroqua will meet teams next
year on an even footing. Nevertheless,
the boys had wonderful time. Thurs
day was spent at Lodi where some of
the best beef animals in the state were
gone over. The boys also had chance
to see results that can be obtained by
young breeder who believes and
sticks to one breed of livestock. In
fact, the boys worked on one animal
whose full sister sold to breeder in
South America for $4,000. This
proved to be quite an eye-opener to the
boys. At Madison the boys went thru
the Capitol, explored the University
farm, and also witnessed the Fon du
Lac team win the State basket ball
tournament These occasions all help
ed the boys put in four OF the most
profitable and enjoyable days of their
high school career.

LARGE NUMBER OF
SUICIDES IN 1921.
REACTION FOLLOWING WAR is
BLAMED FOR THE LARGE
NUMBER.
ALL CLASSES WERE INCLUDED
Ages Of Suicides Range All the Way
From Five to Hundred Years,
With>MaIes In Lead. =

New York.-Reaction following the
war was blamed by the Save-a-Life
league for the large number of sui.
cides in 1921. 10000 of which were
estimated to have taken place in this
country. The number of cases brought
to the leagues attention was 12,144, of
which S,410 were males. and 3,734 fe.
males.
This waste of life, the result OF
recent disturbed economic conditions
and the aftermath Of war;" said re.
portby Henry M. Warren, president
OF the league, has caused CONNER
cial failure, loss of employment and
much real suffering. The growing
complexity Of our modern life, the fe.
verish unrest, crimes, divorces. ques
tionable dress, unhappy home rela.
,tions, the decline of religious senti
ment and other things have caused
deranged nerves, depression and less
self-control. With improved business,
which is sure to come, the suicide
rate will be reduced and prosperity
and happiness will return"
One of the striking features of the
report is the increase in the number
Of suicides of children which was AT
in 1919. TOT in 1920 and S5S in 1921.
There also were 500 war veterans
among the suicides last year.
All classes of society were included
in the list of those who took their
own lives. There were 10 educators,
40 students. 81 school teachers, 81
clergymen, 80 brokers, 81 judges and
lawyers, Sc physicians. mayors, SS
heads OF large corporations. 76 mil.
lionaires, 80 wealthy women and 90
bankers, including 81 bank presidents
The oldest suicide was 100 years old
and the youngest five years.
All sorts Of reasons were given by
the victims. One man hung himself
because his wife was too good for
him; another because his wife was
spending all his money; another be.
cause he could not stand the noise

because his wife refused to kiss him
