JOBLESS MINER TAKES LIFE BY
 HANGING SELF
Merrill Kaufman, Age 45 Despondent Over III
 Health, Poverty

Merrill Shorty" Kaufman, 4o, unemployed blacksmith and miner, hanged himself Monday night or Tuesday in his small cabin on Will loughby Avenue.
 The frozen body was discovered in Kauffman's bare and fireless home, Seaview Cabin Number Nine, at 10 o'clock this morning by Chief of Po- lice Roy Hoffman and Deputy U. s. Marshal Walter G. Hellan. The act apparently was caused by despon- dency over ill health and failure to obtain work. An inquest was to be held late this afternoon.
 Kaufman fashioned a short moose about the head of his bed, then threw himself on the mattress and awaited strangulation.
 Last Seen Monday
 He was last seen Monday after noon by an occupant of nearby cabin, James Cameron, when the latter helped Kaufman into his cabin. Fears aroused by his failure to reappear from the cabin led R. H Williams, owner of the property, to telephone Chief of Police Hoffman at 9:20 am. today. Hoffman and Hellan battered down the locked door of the home to discover the tragedy.
 Strange Note Left
 Two notes were left by the deceas- ed, one leaving his supply of wood and other effects to his neighbor. Cameron. The other threw an ele- ment of mystery into the tragedy, but was believed by authorities to be the product of disordered mind. Kaufman wrote: T did one dirty trick in my life. and that's all, and now they're going to kill me for it. another fellow is involved in this, he's light-complected and shutters when he talks. He wanted to hold ID a bank in Valdez, he wanted me Q rob freight car and steal gas. He wanted to go to Fairbanks and 'ob the railroad station, and then he nit on this scheme. I wanted to take 1t back but he said he wouldn't"

Bread AS
Energy Food
BY Betty Barclay

That bread is our best energy
food is evidently recognized by the
army, judging from the amounts Of
it their dietetic experts prescribe,
and the tons of it ayidly consumed
by cadets and soldiers. There
seems to be a lesson here for the
rest of us.
The kitchens at West Point daily
turn out a variety of bread and
rolls for the three whooper meals
served the cadets every day. These
energetic students, who perform
mental and physical tasks all day
long and must be in the pink OF
condition to do it, consume large
amounts Of bread with other foods.
Actual figures on the amount of
bread needed for soldiers have
just been released in the middle
West, where about $4,000 Of the
young men are gathering for a
weeks camp in southern Michigan,
during the maneuvers of the Sec
ond Army. Members of the Nation
al Guard Of two states and two
divisions Of the regular army are
included.
From the AZ different foods
which the army authorities have
prepared for the encampment, the
following list will give some idea
of the appetites to be appeased,
and the proportion of foods to be
used. Bread heads the list, follow
ed by potatoes and good red beef.
1lhse figures for the week are in
pounds:

License Plate Flood
Again At High Tide

During the period of nine work
ing days at the state capitol from
July 81 to August 6, an average OF
26,5O4 applications for 1886 motor
vehicle license plates were receic-
ed in the Department or state at
Lansing, from departmental branch
offices. Records in the office of
Orville e. Atwood, Secretary of
State, show that the total for the
period was 23S,532 applications.
The semi-annual high tide was
caused by the expiration of the
time limit on half-year permits or
"stickers,' August l. BY that time
IL was necessary for the owner Of
every motor vehicle operated on
the streets and highways, to have
paid the second and last INSTALL
ment of the cost of the 1886 plates.
Added to the rush from owners
of cars already in operation, was
the volume from purchasers of new
cars. While plates are issued di-
rectly from branch offices through
out the state, total transactions
cannot be determined until reports
from branches are recorded in the
Lansing offices.
Despite the seasonal rush and
unavoidable peak in license plate
work, mail direct to the Lansing
offices on other matters pertain
