days ago, from nobody knows where,
and without 80 much as by your

residence in one Of Mr.. Jakino's

attacks them with feet and head, and
while SO far, being prevented from
inflictipg serious injury, has fright

to induce her to take her departure
have failed, and growing desperate

DEATH REVEALS DOUBLE LIFE.

CHICAGO, April 22.-Two men who
met yesterday at the inquest over Mi
chael II. Ahern, a former real estate
dealer of Creston, Iowa, each claiming
to be son of the dead man, learned
that Ahern for fifty years had been
the father of two large families, nei-
ther of which knew of the existence
Of the other.
At the inquest each of the two men
stepped forward and identified the
body as that of his father and pazed

other. A series of questions and con-

had frequently been visited by man,
so years old, and once by man of
about 40 years. From the story told
by William Ahern, the older man, who
lives here, and by Matthew Ahern of
Creston, Iowa, the fathers history was
learned.
William Ahern said that his father
had left a wife with four small chill
dren in Ireland fifty years ago and
had come to America. The younger
man, taking up the story, said that
his father had married in Galesburg,
ILL.,, in 1865, and seven children had
been born, all but one Of whom are
living in Illinois and Iowa. His
mother, he said, had been dead for
nine years.
The elder man then told of coming
to America with his mother after the
four children had become of age, and
Of finding the father in Chicago.
William Ahern applied for letters
Of administration to his fathers es-
tate in the interests Of himself and
brother John, living in Seattle. The
aged first wife of the dead man is now
in Chicago, according to her son, but
was too feeble to attend the inquest
The dead man left property valued
al several thousand dollars and the
claim of the Chicago family may be
contested by these in Iowa.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has just

task of counting the corn of the coun-
try before it is harvested. 1t finds
that we shall have this year just a
bit more than 1927 100000 bushels,
which will be an increase of some
thing like 20O,OOO,OOO bushels over
last years crop. The greatest of the
corn states are Illinois, Iowa, Ne
braska and Missouri, in each of
which the estimate is above 200,000,-
600 bushels Georgia it is expected,
will produce this year about 10000
900 bushels. Does it not seem that
with all this corn in prospect there
ought to be some shading in the
prices of the things that eat corn and
which the ultimate consumers have
to eat?

THE SAUERKRAUT CENTER.
Nearly 1000 Carloads Are Shipped
From Clyde, o. One Factory
Turns Out 500 Barrels Daily.

There is not locality in this coun-
try, and not more than one or two
in the fatherland, where the German
delicacy, sauerkraut, is so regularly
turned out in such quantities as it is
in the eight sauerkraut factories in
and around Clyde, Ohio, says the
World of Today. A popularity of
the industry at Clyde is the fact that
it is almost wholly dominated by
Americans About 20 years a Yam
kee from the east, realizing the
adaptability of the soil in that vicin-
ity for the raising of cabbage, started
the first real sauerkraut factory in
America east Of st. Louis. The I'M
dertaking was decided success.
Finding a ready market for their
crops the farmers in the surrounding
country grew more and more cab
bages and other enterprising men
soon followed the example.
In a fair season these factories will
not only use up 80 per cent of the
cabbage grown in the immediate Vi
entity, but will secure by rail the
earlier and later products from other
localities. They will produce and
ship nearly 1000 carloads of kraut
in barrels, casks and cans to all
parts of the country. AS yet no ex-
port business is built up.
The industry gives employment to
about 400 workmen. Most of these
are not engaged at the work the
year around. The town is one of
the busiest on the map during the
weeks following the maturity of the
crops, and capable men and boys are
then in demand and receive very good
wages.

CALIFORNIA; GREAT PEST
GROUND SQUIRRELS IMPLICIT A
LOSS OF $4,000, 900 YEARLY.
Kill Fruit Trees and Vineyards and
Work Havoc in Grain Fields. Live
in Holes Like GOphers,

The ground squirrels of California
are as great pest to that state as
are rabbits in Australia. The SPUR
rels live in holes in the ground like
gophers. They breed like rabbits
and eat up wheat and other grain,
walnuts, prunes, peaches, olives, figs,
oranges and certain vegetables and
forage crops, destroy vineyards and
young orange groves and do other
damage to the amount of 100000
600 a year in California alone. They
are particularly fond of green al
monds and of the pits of green
peaches and apricOts; they are partic-
ularly destructive of apples, and in
certain places of the foothills have
been known to take fully half the
crop They gnaw off the young
shoots in the vineyards and kill al
mond and orange trees by gnawing
at the bark, of which they are very
fond. They often raid storehouses
and carry off large quantities of dry
fruit; but the principal loss attribu-
ted to ground squirrels results from
their depredations on grain. They
devour barley, wreat and oats when
the seed is first sown. They dig up
and carry away sprouting kernels;
they invade fields of ripening grain
and feast upon them until harvest
times and when it is cut and stack
ed they concentrate their forces for
the attack, eating all they can and
labOring tirelessly to carry as much
of the remainder as possible to their
underground storehouses for winter.
At a single stack of barley at
Jamesburg 800 groundsquirrels were
caught in traps in a few days and as
many more poisoned. In another
place they climbed to the top of a
stack and dragged down the grain
until it formed a windrow three feet
high. While operating in grain fields
they work on system, usually clear
ing off the grain around the borders
of the field, cutting a swath 40 or so
feet in width, and then establish bur
rows to live in while they work vari-
Gus parts of the interior.
Besides the destruction which they
work in the vineyards and grain
fields the squirrels are carriers of the
bubonic plague and are highly sus-
ceptible to that disease.
