OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
EXPRESS SYSTEM STARTED
Large Company Operates plan Like
One Government is Trying Out.

Chicago, Dec. d-The producer-to-
consumer plan was put in effect today
by one of the biggest express COM
panies.
Instructions were issued appointing
a chief of special department to ex-
pedite the movement of farm pro-
duce to the consumer. and notices to
cooperate were sent to 10000 agents
of the company scattered throughout
the country.
The corporation expects to make no
profit out of the business except such
as comes with increased business. A
somewhat similar plan is being inaug-
urated by the Postofice Department
by means of the parcel post.

MAN IS BURIED
in GROUND BY
BIG STEEL WHEEL
William David's Legs Are
Pierced by Nails Which
PiniOn Him to Earth
COWORKER RESCUES
WORKMAN FROM DEATH
Takes Heavy Machinery From
Helpless Victim Who May be
Internally Injured.

William David, machinist employ
ed at the shops of Erlbacher & Feldoff
on North Main street. was crushed
beneath a large gear wheel yesterday
afternoon while engaged in taking an
engine to pieces. &.
The wheel weighs about 700 pounds
and when he and William Croker, an
other mechanic, attempted to move it
from the position in which it was
standing, one of them stumbled and
the heavy mass toppled over against
David, bearing him to the ground.
He fell across a board and a num-
Der of large nails which protruded
through it were forced their full
length into the calf of his leg.
Mr.. Croker, who barely escaped be-
ing caught, hurried to the rescue of
the imprisoned workman, and unas-
sisted lifted the wheel from the pros
trate body.
David was conveyed to his home at
the corner of Merriwether and Ellis
street, where he was attended by a
physician.
No bones were broken, but he was
badly bruised, and it is feared that
he sustained internal injuries.
His legs were badly lacerated by the
nails which were forcibly withdrawn
after the heavy weight had been taken
from his body.

She COllapses.

husband has been rooming at the
home of Mrs. Anna David, at 1927 S.

heart failure yesterday afternoon at
about 2 o'clock.
Mrs. Jackson had Just returned
from Ste. Genevieve where she had
been visiting her parents, and when
she arrived at her home and found
that her husband had moved during
her absence, she was overcome by the
slight shock and fell unconscious to
the floor.
She was revived after considerable
effort, and conveyed by her husband
to the new quarters he had provided
in her absence.
She is afflicted with an organic
heart trouble and had previously suf-
fered similar attacks.

SCHOOL FOR DAIRY
AND CREAMERY MEN
Missouri College of Agriculture Has
Special Short Course In
Dairying

Special Short Course In
Dairying.
Columbia, Mo-, Nov. 30-A course
which will prepare a man for posi-
ton in any kind of dairy work will
open January 4 at the University of
Missouri. 1t is a special short course
in dairying to last seven weeks. 1t
will cover every phase of the work.
The efficiency of the instruction given
is shown by the fact that almost all
of the men who have taken the course
in the past are doing dairy work now.
Some are managers of private diaries,
some are testers in cow testing asSo-
Citations, some are buttermakers in
creameries and others are makers of
ice cream. Men who studied dairying
in this course have taken the highest
prizes in the Educational Butter Scor-
ing Contest held at Columbia.
The course has classes in receiving,
handling, grading, testing and pas
teurization of milk. Theory and prac-
tice of churning, the study of the fac
tors influencing overrun, moisture and
percentages, the making of ice cream,
and marketing are other subjects
studied. The student is also given a
chance to study the production side
of dairying. He is taught the care,
handling and feeding of the dairy
herd.
At the University of Missouri the
student gets his instruction in dairy
ing under actual working conditions.
He spends half of his time practicing
the best dairy methods in the best
managed dairy in the state.
P. NJ. Brandt, superintendent of the
short courses will send out announce
ments giving cost of board, fees and
other information to any one who
writes to him.

LOCUST IN HIS SHOULDER
Insect Cut Out After Thirty-four
Years.

Hagerstown, Nd, July 17.-Cut-
ting into lump which had formed
in the shoulder of Joseph Pinsor, of
Sandy Hook, physicians were sur
prised to find a fully developed IT.
year locust.
Ringer says he was stung by a
locust in. 1880, while clearing land.
The pain was SO great that he was
rendered unconscious. In time. how
ever, it disappeared, and he thought
no; more of it until a. lump appeared
on his shoulder in 1897. He was CON-
PEELED to stop work on account of
the pain, which, however, responded
to. treatment, and after several
weeks the formation disappeared en-
tirely and he was not troubled with
1t again until recently, when the
swelling reappeared, forming lump
as large rs hens egg.
Ringer sought physicians, who ap-
piled hot poultices. A few hours
they made an incision and extracted
q fully developed locust, which had,
it is, supposed, been incubating for
the past 81 years. Pirger is now
showing the insect as curiosity.
