SOME THING TO
THINK ABOUT
By F. A. WALK E r
SHUFFLING OFF

THE cause for the increase of sui.
L eide among women has been vari7
ously accounted for. Some illogical
reasoners have said that it was be-.
cause women had taken up the work
of men and found it too great q
strain.
That is all foolishness.
The brain of the ordinary woman
will stand a good deal more strain
than the brain of the ordinary man be-
fore 1t yields to some impulse of self
destruction.
If all the problems which face each
morning every wife and mother and
demand solutions before nightfall were
presented every twentyfour hours to
the average business man he would
quit inside of a month.
If he thought he had to be smilingly
pleasant, as the ordinary wife, to
fault-fnding companion, he would
after a while begin to consider what
was the easiest way out of the world
and how soon he had better start on
the journey.
1t Is not at all illogical to believe
that the increase in the number of
suicides among women Is directly
traceable to the increased prosperity
among the men.
Men who few years ago were earn.
ing moderate salaries, staying at
bnpoa NIGHTS and of tho inciStaDoa "a
their wives and through their wives
economy saving little of their earn
ings, are now making from four to ten
times as much as they did then, have
lost their sense of necessity for saw
ing and acquired the idea that there
are better places to spend the eve
nings than at home, and not infre-
quently have decided that there are
other people more congenial than their
wives.
1t is pretty nearly certain that If
careful analysis were made Of the cir
cumstances surrounding the marked
increase of women suicides 1t would
be found that very many Of them were
led to take their lives because the in
creased prosperity had robbed them Of
their husbands.
If you know of a woman suicide,
inquire as to the circumstances of her
death and see If this is not true.
In the last analysis suicide Is a
confession of cowardice.
1t says to life, 81 dare not face you
any longer. Your problems are too
great for me. / cannot bear what
you threaten and there is only one
way out
Do not ever acknowledge defeat In
anything.
There is always way to victory If
you fight hard enough.
Suicide never earned honor or re-
spect for any man or woman.
Live. and fight. Fight and win.
That is the spirit with which to
meet every problem and face every
seeming disaster.

An unusually constructed still was
captured by Ripley county officers six
miles north of Doniphan last week.
1t was about 100 yards from Current
river and consisted of an excavation
about 20x20 feet, with concrete walls
and floor. A well had been driven in
the dugout and had a pitcher pump
in II to supply water for the still. Tie
top Of the dugout was covered with
river cane that had been set out over
it, completely hiding the place from
view. The builders of the den had
overlooked one detail. While they had
carried away all dirt from the excava-
ti0n a large fiat hill rock had been
brought down to cover over the flue
from the still when not in use and 1t
was this rock with a small amount of
red clay on it that caught the practic-
ed eye Of Joe Cochran, whose long ex-
perience on the river told him that
something was wrong in that spot.
He raised the rock and found the flue
hole. but locating the dugout was not
quite so easy, so well had it been
camounaged With the arrival Of the
other officers later in the evening the
dugout was entered and two stills.
one small one and the other a large
one. consisting of an iron barrel with
copper worm, 250 gallons of mash,
ready for run, one gallon of whiskey
and lot of tools Of various kinds,
