Hagerstown, Nd, Aug. 21.-Cutting
into lump which had formed in the

Hook, physicians were surprised to
find a fully developed seventeen-year
locust
Ringer says he was stung by To-
Gust in 1880 while cleaning land. The
pain was so great that he was render

appeared and he thought no
more of it until a lump appeared on
his shoulder in 1897. He was compel.
led to stop work on account of the
pain, which, however, responded to
treatment.
After several weeks the formation
disappeared entirely, and he was not
troubled with it again until recently
when the swelling reappeared, forming
a lump as large as hens egg.

CORN CLUB BOYS
HAVE HARD YEAR
FIGURES SHOW STATE YIELD HAS
STEADILY INCREASED SINCE
THEY BEGAN.

The News is in receipt of a letter
from c.. H. Cobb, in charge of the
Boys Corn Club Work in Mississippi
for the Department of Agriculture.
The letter follows:
"This has been a rather hard year
on Corn Club boys and some have
become little bit discouraged. AS
rule, however, they have stood the un-
favorable conditions we'll and reports
on their work by the local demonstra-
tion agents indicate that the crops of
the boys are much better than the
general farm crops. This is very en-
couraging and, on the whole, the out
look is bright.
81 am giving below some of the re-
suits of the boys and the progress
made during the last few years in
corn production. The boys, of course,
have not been responsible alone for
the great increase in our corn yields,
but l believe I am modest enough in
claiming that they have demonstrated
pretty clearly what our lands are
capable of doing.
"Yield in 1909, 2S,429,0OO bushels.
Value 2S,429,O00. Yield in 1910, 53,-
O95,OOO bushels; yield in 1911, $4,000.
900 bushels; yield in 1912, 56,O00,O00;
yield in 1918, 60,O00,0O0 bushels. Val
ue, $G0,000,000. Increase in 1918 over
1909, $S1, 1,571, 900.
''The general average by farmers
in 1909 was 14.5 bushels to the acre
The general average in 1918 was 20
bushels to the acre. The average by
the boys in 1913 was 5S bushels to the
acre. There, according to these fig
ures, is lots of room for advancement
yet.
"There are more farmers reading
now than ever before; farmers are
more willing to learn than ever before
and are becoming thinkers. Farmei
boys are sharing in the profits of theil
labors, new thing to farmer boys
The fact that boys have had no shar
in the proceeds of the farms hav,
driven many from the farms. TIL,
Corn Club boy and his father are part
ners, just as the merchant and his sol
are partners And it should be tina
way. Through all the influences tina
are encouraging and helping the farm
er, farm life is becoming more whole
some, more attractive and NOR
profitable. And these are condition
necessary if the young people Of til
farm are to become real lovers Of Il
soil and farming" Il.

RIOT OVER BARGAIN
COUNTER SALE
5000 CHICAGO WOMEN GO MAD
OVER OPENING OF NEW
STORE.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Harry Lanski is
20 years old and has an eye for busi-
ness. He began his career with the
grand opening" of his 5 and 10 cent
store, at 5000 West Twelfth street.
Like every good general, Lanski had
carefully looked over his battle-ground
before launching his campaign. He
picked a corner location and big,
roomy store tor his display. Then he
had thousands of big, black lettered
handbills printed and scattered throug-
out the neighborhood.
Dear madam" read the bills, "you
are cordially invited to attend the
opening of the U. S. S and 10 cent
store at 10:30 o'clock Monday.
Riot Call Turned In.
At $3.50 O'Clock in the morning 500
women had accepted his invitation.
They were orderly and formed into a
double line. At $3.50 o'clock the crowd
had Increased to more than a thou
sand, and the line had broken. By 10
o'clock there were more than 5000
women and children pushing and fight
ing to get near the entrance.
The doors were thrown open at
10:30. There was rush. Every
body wanted to get in first.
A riot call was sent to the Fillmore
street police station. Patrolmen Rich
ard Faheny and James Mulhern rushed
to the scene, arriving just in time to
hear the front plate glass window
crash and to help Mrs. Edith Altner
of 1908 West Twelfth street, who had
been pushed through the window and
severely cut on the arms and breast.
She was sent to the county hospital
More Policemen on Scene.
The rioting increased. Another call
was sent to the police station and Pa
trolmen Ryan, Curley, Williams,
O'Marra and Reserves Flynn, Corbett,
and Brown were sent out. Sergt. Nc
Ginnis was called on for special duty
later.
More policemen might have been
needed, but at 1 o'clock the store was
closed. The stock had been exhausted.

handle than wild horses" said Patrol
man Ryan. ''It was the worst riot of
my experience"

= The Wood Reduction Plant. which
mas been closed down since the be.
ginning of the European war. will he
reopened in about 80 days with an in.
creased capacity. The announcement
was made by T. S. Jackson following
meeting of the board of directors of
the company. Mr.. Jackson says that
the directors have voted $4,000 to be
spent at C1ce on the refining depart
ment of the plant for the purpose of
increasing the production. When the
work contemplated is completed the
Wood Reduction Plant will be prepar-
ed to convert into resin, turpehtine
and resin oil fifty cords of pine stumps
per day.
The reason for closing down the
plant, says Mr.. Jackson, is that so per
cent of the products of the wood reduc-
tion is exported to foreign countries;
particularly to those nations in Eu-
rope now at war with each other. With
this market entirely shut. off it was
useless to continue to operate until
some adjustment had been made.
Attracts Wide Attention.
During the period of enforced idle
ness it is the purpose of the directors
of the company to avail themselves of
the opportunity to make the improve
Bents and additions they have con-
'tamplated for some time. The plant
in the short time it was in operation
demonstrated beyond the shadow of
doubt that it is a success and that
it is based on the right principle. The
company will continue to add to the
equipment until the plant is capable
of handling the large amount of wood
available.
The plant has already attracted a
large amount of attention all over the
country on account Of the fact that it
has found a means of utilizing what
was not only waste product but a
hindrance. to the development of the
cutover pine timber land. Several of
the trade papers have contained arti-
cles with reference to the plant here
and have spoken of the men behind the
proposition in glowing terms.
The addition is to be made to the
refining department. The mechanicle
department is already prepared to take
leare of as much as so cords of wood.
soon as the addition to the refining
a uipment is made the output of tur-
p9ntine, resin and resin oil will be
much larger than is now possible un-
der the most favorable circumstances.

AT DEPTH OF 5000 FEET DRILL
ENCOUNTERS THICK BED
OF ROCK.
HARD SHALE MAY COVER
RESERVOIR OF PETROLEUM
Prospects Never Brighter Than at the
Present-Mueh Importance Attached
to Formation piseovered-Prooress
In Hard Material Slow.

ihe latum smart at Sanford, which
Is being sunk in search of oil. has.
during the last few days, encountered
the first strata which is known to be
oil-bearing at other places. At a
depth of 5000 feet which was reached
about the first of the week hard layer
OF shale, resistent black rock CON-
posed of hardened mud, was struck.
This shale in Louisiana and in other
oil fields is the layer which prevents
the oil from rising to the surface and
when 1t Is tapped in the oil fields the
oil flows freely.
The drillers attach great deal of
Importance to this stratum. All the
work up to this time has been prepara-
tory. They have been drilling through
the overlay. They now get down to
business and each strata pierced may
reveal that for which they are search
ing.
Shae Harder Than Usual.
This particular shale in which they
are now drilling is extremely. hard
and their progress under the most fa-
vorable circumstances is slow. So far
this week they have made not more
than six or eight feet per day. A drill
does not last long when it comes in
contact with the closely grained shale.
The drills frequently have to be chang
ed which often takes six or eight
hours. When a drill is changed more
than half mile of pipe has to be
lifted out and the new drill attached
to the lower end.
There are several things which dis
tinguish this well from all others ever
drilled in the state. In one respect it
is different from every other we'll drill
ed in the United States. They have
drilled through a greater thickness of
"gumbo' than was ever recorded be-
fore.
In drilling the shaft encountered
several pieces of floating shale but
this is the first true stratum of shale
which has been encountered and the
first stratum which could conceal the
reservoir of petroleum if it is there.
Determined to Drill Through.
The shale according to the Geolo-
gists, is. of the Silurian formation
which is much older than the over
lying formations and it is the one in
which oil is found in the Caddo fields
across the Mississippi river The Sill
urian in Louisiana is much nearer the
surface and for that reason there
wells are not required to drill through
so much material as is necessary here.
The thickness of the stratum of
shall is purely problematical, but it
is the intention of the drillers to go
througl IL, no matter how thick. They
believe that something is on the under
side of it worth their trouble.
The oil will not be accumulated un-
less they happen to drill through the
top OF an anticline or dome like arch
of the stratum but they will at least
discover whether or not it is worth
while t. drill elsewhere in this end
of the state.
