SHOW SERVED PURPOSE
SAYS COUNTY AGENT
Mr.. Seyforth Gives Review of
Fun On The Farm

"Fun on the Farm" has come and
gone, but its seeds of cooperation and
unselfishness have been sown.
Some who came with the idea of
seeing a big airing circus were dis
appointed. 1t was not advertised as
such. Most all that was advertised
was shown.
The idea of the whole entertain
ment was to present farm conditions
that exist today in the way of CO.
operative marketing ard some of the
ways in which they may be improved.
1t was regretted very much that
Mr.. Kelley, who originated tie show
could not be here to give his sound
talk on cooperative marketing, but
on account of his duties rs an at
torney in New York it was necessary
that he be in the East at this time.
The Green Bull, although not as
green as many expected, was one of
the best types of bovine male that
ever appeared on the Ellsworth Fair
Grounds. The horse and bull acts
were very clever and a few of them
have never before been seen even in
the large circuses. These acts are
good enough to be shown at the State
Fair this fall and at the New York
Hippodrome this winter, so they are
classed with the best. If we could
appreciate the time and patience
taken to train these domestic ami
mails we could probably enjoy the re-
suits more.

 Laboratory Report.
 Blood tests, 195, pathology tests, l6; autopsies, 2; other tests. 622.
 The report comments as follows:
 Regarding the New Hospital
 "Within a day or two following the issue of our last monthly bulletin, in which was stated what varying sums of money would do towards establish ing a memorial fin the new hospital, word was received from four or five individuals that they would be glad to furnish room. Since then many in- ouiries have been received and it is expected that before the opening of the hospital many people will avail themselves of the opportunity to equip some portion of the building.
 "one very interesting inquiry was received from the American Legion, resulting in the Legion providing for the complete furnishing of one of the sun parlors Undoubtedly there are other organizations that will wish to do something of the kind.
 "The top floor of the new hospital is fast approaching completion. Shades are being hung and floors waxed. pre- paratory to moving in furniture. The plan is to occupy each floor as soon as completed. The new boiler house has been in use during the past seven months; the new laundry, three months, and the ice-plant, two months. The kitchen equipment is being installed. and there is no ques- ton that our hospital will have one of the finest kitchens in the state.
 It is expected that the entire build- ing will be ready about June IS or July l.
 "The furnishings of the rooms are entirely free from the usual hospital atmosphere. Walnut finish will pre- vail. and the window draperies will harnonize with the furnishings. The easy chairs are not only comfortable but are thoroughly homelike.
 "The' current expense during the past few months are out of all pro- portion to the number of patients treated. This condition has been brought about by the increase in the number of employees necessary to maintain the portions of the new hos pital now in use and in heating the new building through the winter in order to dry 1t out. This additional maintenance expense will be equalized when the building is occupied by pa tients.
 For some time it has been the earnest desire Of the training school management that funds for a tennis court might be provided for outdoor recreation for the nurses during off, duty hours. There is ample space for a court on the south side of the new hospital. near the Nurses Home, and 1t would be a fine thing if t were pos sible to build a court before the ground are seeded"

COX-COOLIDGE ARE EASILY VICTORIOUS
Run Away Ahead Of MCAdOO and
 Johnson in Ohio
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Columbus, Ohio. April SO.-Both President Coolidge and former Gov ernor James NJ. Cox of Ohio, the democratic candidate for president in 1920. won sweeping victories in Ohio's primary elections yesterday. The vote was probably the lightest ever cast In an Ohio primary election, officially estimated at about IS per cent of the political vote.
 Coolidge, Six to One
 President Coolidge won the states 51 delegates to the national conven- tion and was given better than a six to one endorsement over United States Senator Hiram Johnson of California.
 Cox Gets Home State
 Mir. Cox probably will go before the democratic national convention with his home states 4S votes pledged to support him and back by a popu- lar endorsement of his party by a two and a half to one vote over Will liam Gibbs McAdoo.
 His probable 4S votes will be rep resented by 52 delegates, the eight delegates at large each having but half a vote.
 Daughety Elected
 Former Attorney Gen. Harry NJ. Daugherty, defeated four yaers ago for delegate-at-large by almost 1000 votes at the time former President Harding carried the state on prefer ential choice, yesterday was elected a member of the Coolidge slate of dele gates at large but was probably low member of the group. He won over the highest Johnson delegate by about four to one.
 Women delegates trailed the lists except on the Coolidge slate where they probably have beaten out former Attorney Gen. Daugherty.
 Vote in 8.14S Precints
 The vote in 6,1is precincts out of a total of s,350 precincts in the state, showed President Coolidge leading Senator Johnson by more than 10O,- 900 votes and former Governor Cox leading Mir. McAdoo by almost 35,- 900 votes. The vote in 6,iaS pre- oincts was Coolidge 127,954: John- son 2o,ea7; Cox 55,sis: McAdoo 21,- 214.
 President. Coolidge carried every county in the state. MT. Cox ap- parently has not been so fortunate as he probably will be forced to yield few smaller counties 10 MT. Me Adoo.
 United States Senator Simeon D. rcss was leading the Coolidge slate of delegates-at-large fin returns from s,i4s precincts with his colleague Senator Frank D. Willis, running R close second.

MONEY CAUSES SUICIDES
Epidemic in German Ascribcd to Men tai perangcmcnt Arising From Dealing in Paper Money.

Berlin, Aug e.--Jn seeking an ex- rlanation of the epidemic of suicides in Germany, some physicians are in- clined to sscribe it to mental derange- n1ent arising from dealing in paper money of such enormous denomina- tons
 For a while worry due to economic causes vas generally felt to be the explanation of 50 many suicides, but closer investigation inclnes physi- clans to believe that theory is not upheld by facts.
 Tn some cases slight quarrel with a superior is sufficient to induce man to commit suicide. Tn another case | girl is dismissed from serr- ice and before looking for another job, she turns on the gas. Tn third case a young man comes home from college with poor report and puts bullet through his brain. Cases of this kind can hardly be ascribed to money worries, the physicians say and therefore have reasoned it out that peoples nerves were 50 shattered by dealing with figures of 12 and IS dieits that they commit irrational acts on the slightest provocation.

The men were not supervised or guarded in any way. The foreman of each gang was, how ever, not 8 prisoner, but workman who joined voluntarily.
