ROMANCE ENDS
IN SUICIDE
Of MAN
Frank D. Taylor Kills Self in
Presence of Bride in
Parental Home.

The romance surrounding a run
away marriage between a beautiful
eighteen-year-old girl and a twenty
three=year- Government. clerk had
its finale last night in the dramati-
cally staged suicide of the husband.
Before, the eyes Of his Mortified
wife, her sister and mother, Frank
d. Taylor, former clerk in the De-
partment of Agriculture, flourished
small .32-caliber pistol in the yes
tibule of the home of the brides
parents at 1888 Rhode Island avenue.
For three minutes he had the
stage all to himself. and then a bull
let, sent crashing through his heart,
rang down the curtain on a tenn.
pestuous married life that in a year
had seen three separations and two
other attempts at suicide. Just a
month ago he locked himself in the
bathroom of the spacious Rhode
Island avenue home and turned on
the gas.
Last night shortly after s O'Clock
Taylor went to his wife's home and
asked to see her. When she came
down the steps to meet him in the
vestibule he flashed a pistol. Wav-
ing 1t around excitedly he talked for
two or three minutes while the ter
rified woman stood mute.
With a final gesture he placed the
pistol against his breast and fired
one shot. He fell dead in the vesti.
bule and was carried into the parlor.
There he was pronounced dead by
DR.. L. F. Luckett, 1919 Rhode Island
avenue northwest. Coroner hewitt
issued a certificate Of suicide.
Detective Sergeants Mansfield and
Thompson investigated the case.

Better Lambs Campaign
Is Winner in Kentucky

Kentucky is leading the eastern
sheep-producing states in a campaign
to eliminate the "bucky" lamb, accord
ing to reports to the bureau of agri-
cultural economics of the Department
Of Agriculture This Is the third season
that the campaign has been carried on
by the state extension agents and, as a
result, 1t Is estimated that more than
100000 locked wether and eve lambs
will be marketed from Kentucky this
year. The high quality of these lambs
already has attracted the attention Of
many eastern buyers, who are going
into the state and buying direct from
the producers instead of waiting for
the lambs to arrive at the central mar
kets. A number of public auctions
have been held, with the highest bid
frequently within so cents per 100
pounds Of the top at the leading east
ern markets the same day.
Losses from docking and castration
have been very small The greatest
advantage from eliminating the
"bucky" lamb, according to members
of the trade and marketing specialists,
is in reducing the number of seconds
and culls in the market receipts. 1t Is
estimated that from one-third to one
half more lambs can be handled In the
future than are now sold, because Of
the improvement in the supply.

Potatoes Particularly
Valuable for Fatteninq

Potatoes are particularly valuable
for fattening pigs" says Austin A.
Dowell, livestock extension specialist
with the University of Minnesota.
'aThey should be cooked, the water
discarded, then mixed with grain at
the rate Of three parts potatoes to one
part of the concentrates. Prepared in
this way they may be fed literally to
fatten pigs or sows with filters. Raw
potatoes may be fed In limited quaint
ties to mature and idle brood sows. II
fed to pregnant sows, they should be
cooked and fed in relatively small
quantities."
Mr. Dowell says that raw potatoes
are often readily eaten by cattle,
horses and sheep. Fed in large guam
titles to dairy cattle they are likely to
faint the milk and produce a white
salve-like butter. Another reason why
potatoes should not be fed too freely,
says Mr.. Dowell, is because they con-
tain a poisonous material called solan-
inc. The sprouts carry this substance
IN relatively large quantities and
should be removed before feeding.

the item of comfort. Breakfast time
demands a cheerful and easily put on
garment. All negligees are loose and
flowing and the way of the designer
has been smoothed by the vogue of
silky laces in combination with crepe

by the latitude in styles and mate
rails.

Landing Time Is Looked
Upon as One of Troubles

Landing time is looked upon by
many flock owners as one Of difficulty.
1t is a very important season for the
shepherd and the degree of success
through the lambing season largely
determines the profit or loss from a
flock. Cared for properly after they are
bred, very little trouble will be ex-
perienced at lambing time.
