L%AUNCHBURY ATTEMPTS
SUICIDE SUNDAY EVE

John Launchbury attempted sui
eide on Sunday evening by swallow
ing a quantity of lysol, and it is
only due to the fact that he resided
in such close proximity to a doctor
that he owes his life. His act was
discovered Immediately, and COM
municated to DR.. j. D. Lewellen,
who resides in the residence to the
front of the Launchbury home. and
within two minutes an antidote had
been administered and a stomach
pump was extracting the poison,
which would have soon ended his
life. At the present time he is
resting easily and will probably re-
cover.
Ill health and worry is said to be
the cause for Launchbury's rash act.
He recently returned from a hos
pital where he underwent a major
operation, and he was not getting
along as well as he thought he
should. Mr.. Launchbury is one of
the old timers of the Cody COM

BY IDA NJ. TARBELL.

A member of the governing board
of one Of our most important corpora
tions said recently in speaking or It's

he gave for opposing proposition
was that it didn't seem right. And
as long as he felt that way he could
not be budged.
That was Gen. Grants reason for
vetoing the imitation bill in 1874.
Many friends urged him to sign it.
pointing out the political chaos that
vetoing it would, in their judgment,
cause. Finally the President wrote
a message of approval, but, as he
said, 1t didn't read right" and he
vetoed the bill.
Seeming right" and reading
right" play a much larger part in the
long run in human affairs than the
legalistic and the doctrinaire as well
as the unregenerate are inclined to

Indeed, each exhibit offered as an

I'm the case of a coal strike in this

The best answer to that question

why were the Nova Scotia miners

Because they are British replied
the miners president. "and the Brit

But probably an even more impor-
tant reason was because they have

We'll have no radicalism in this

Problems in Italy
Are Wheat and Coal

Foreign coal and foreign wheat are
two Of Italy's predominant economic
problems. Italy has virtually no coal
and can produce only two-thirds Of the
wheat her people consume. To pro-
duce human and industrial energy at
home, instead of buying 1t from
abroad, means to relieve her national
economy Of a strain that continually
bears upon the national currency and
has once or twice threatened to send
her, financially, in the direction Of
Australia.
Premier Mussolini has volunteered
dramatically to assume control of a
campaign to increase the wheat yield.
Simple scientific agricultural prin-
ciples, such as the selection OF seed
the rotation of crops and the use OF
artificial fertilizers, are unknown to
many sections Of the peninsula,
where human life is abundant, labor
is cheap and enterprise is relatively
retarded. While Italian soil-half
mountain-which has fed civilization
for 80 centuries, cannot be expected to
produce miraculous crops. there is
room for much improvement which
the present government seems deter
mined to realize.
For coal, Italy is bent on substi.
tuting water power, of which she has
an abundance in the Alps and the
Apennines. Much Of the industrial
energy Of the Milan sector and several
hundred miles OF railway are already
served by electricity generated by
waterfalls. The Credit Institute for
Public Utilities. recently established
with capital of $4,000 900, has issued
