The Young Mans Chance

Like many others of his time
Henry Ford fifteen years ago, was
working for eighteen dollars week
in an electric plant in Detroit.
But unlike many he was not a
slave without chance and that ne
might be dead as grinding out his
life in a shop. The Henry Ford
Of fifteen years ago was too busy
earning for his employer that eigh-
teen dollars weekly salary to find
time to complain. He took more
pleasure in seeing that he actually
earned the money than In receiving
the pay check.
And then we wonder how il is his
annual income is 22 millions, 10
millions of which he gives his EN-.
ployees. Mr.. Ford was a compe-
tent workman who did not shirk.
The chance be took was open to
every man of his day. 1t ia no
demonstration of providential part
nership that he was the successful
man. He was Of a caliber to make
good. This was only fifteen years
ago. A young mans chance is his
present job.

NEEDLE MAN SWALLOWS

A needle swallowed Saturday night
by Edward Schuster, 80 years old,

heart and caused his death yesterday
morning at Barnes Hospital. This
was determined last night when DR..
Daniel +. Hochdoerfer performed an
autopsy for the coroners office.
The case is the first of the kind
that has come under the notice O.
st. Louis physicians, DR.. Hochdoer-
fer said, and II is probable tn t no
similar case has been recorded in
medical works. Sharp Instruments Of

tender that he had swallowed what
he thought was a piece of broken
glass, and it had stuck in his throa,
He was given antidotes in an of-
fort to dislodge the obstruction. The
treatment succeeded only in driving
farther. Schuster said when he ar
rived home. Sunday the man was in
agony, according to Mrs. Joseph Glad
er, with whom he boarded.
Monday Schuster was taken to
Barnes Hospital. where he complain
ed of pains on his left side. DR..
Charles Z. Bauer, superintendent of
the hospital said none of the physi
slams were able to diagnose the Gaze.
The patient died at o'clock yester
day morning.
The autopsy revealed that an or
binary sewing needle had penetrated
the wall of the throat and had passed
through the right side of the heart.
When found, the needle was imbeded
in the left half OF the heart, the ply
sician's report states. Death was
caused by a hemorrhage induced by

Schuster was married but had been
separated from his wife and two
children for several years, according
to Mrs. Glader. Her efforts to find

SLOWLY .OSSIFIES TWELVE
YEARS BEFORE HIS DEATH

st. Paul.-Although death SEN
tence was passed upon him twelve
years ago, Charles j. Murphy, of
Northfield, Mimi, fought off the ul-
innate elimination of his strange af-
fiction until few days ago.
Twelve years ago, September 15,
Murphy, twenty-four years old, then
student at Carleton College, limp
ed into st. Luke's Hospital and was
put to bed. From that time he has
been unable to leave his bed without
assistance.
The strange malady with which he
was stricken is known to the medi-
cal world as arthritis deformans. To
the 1ayman it is known as Justification
Its cause is unknown; the treatment
only constant care and as much of
the bright side OF life as is possible.
For years Murphy knew he was
dying. He understood that nothing
could prevent the working Of the dis
ease, yet through all these long years
he maintained cheerful courage.
From his feet the malady crept to
all parts of his body, until feet, legs,
hands, arms and back were welded
and changed into bone by the depos-
its OF solids in the joints.
For short time after he entered
the hospital Murphy could move his
hands and feet, so he could pass
away the weary days by reading.
Telephone connections were made
from his room to the Peoples church.
and every Sunday Murphy attended
services" there.
AS the disease followed it's course
Murphy became blind. Some we'll
known young woman of st. Paul
made weekly visits 10 his room to
read 10 him for hours at time His
body was useless, but his mind was
unimpared. He loved music and a
talking machine was placed in his
room so the music might turn his
thoughts from his affliction.
"Mr. Murphy was n model patient,
Miss Elizabeth Smith, superintend-
ent at the hospital said. "He never
complained and always was cheer
full.
All who came in contact with Muir |
ply remarked his checriness.
While Murphy was awaiting the |
elimination of the disease. his broth |
er. four years his Junior, was strick-
en- with the same malady. and died |
in his home in Mortified That was !
four years ago.
Murphy was a Mason and the mem ,
bers of that lodge did everything in ,
their power to aid him.

OF many destructive insects. InlS
vegetation gives grasshoppers, chinch
bugs, and other insects most favora-
BILE conditions for temperance the
following spring and summer. Sim
ilarly, voluntary growths of wheat
harbor the Hessian fly; while stray
alfalfa plants in the fields and around
them they may be the source of the
incursion of grasshoppers. The Hes
sian fly in the absence of volunteer
wheat at times lays its eggs on the
young crab grass which may spring
up in the fall after a tract has been
burned over. At present, in some
parts of the country, the late-sown
wheat is being infested by Hessian
flies that have developed in and
spread from volunteer wheat. Late
sowing can not be expected to pro-
tect winter wheat from attack in
spring If volunteer wheat has been
permitted to grow up either in near
by fields or among the late-sown
grain. Grasshoppers lay millions of
eggs along the banks of canals and
bitches in the western country.
Chinch bugs hibernate in punches of
broom sedge, and many other des-
tructive pests could not endure the
winter were it not for these natural
nurseries. ...
The entomologists therefore rec
ommend to farmers that they fall
pillow sod lands intended for other
than grass crops another year, and
clear up roadsides, fence margins,
and all waste lands, ditch banks, and
similar places by burning over, pas
turing, or in case of ditch banks by
blowing or disking in the fall. This
will tear up the roots and expose the
eggs of grasshoppers to the excessive
moisture and cold of winter and will
also turn up those insects which hi !
bernate in the ground. Burning veg
citation where possible will destroy
many insects, though in the case of
grasshoppers it probably will not be
as effective as cultural methods. In |
addition, cultural methods by turning |
humus into the soil benefits the land. |
Sheep, of course. are the great |
enemies OF weeds, and where sheep /
can be turned into field or a flock !
herded along the roadside they will /
clear up waste vegetation,
and in addition the tramping OF their
'opt will destroy many insects. The
sheep at the same time turn waste
into mutton and all they
require is a little grain for finishing
Frequently when sold they return

even if they merely pay for the ex-
ira grain they eat their function in
destroying weeds and keeping down
insects makes their use well worth

Getting rid of grass, weeds, and
underground about the farm during
the fall and early winter is one OF
the best protective measures the
farmer can use against crop-damag'
ing insects the following year. Weeds,
matted grass, dead vegetation, and
brambles along fences, roadsides,
margins of fields, banks of little

gated territories, are the natural hi
