LAZINESS
LAZINESS

Studious physicians are beginning to
question if laziness is ever natural
characteristic of otherwise healthy IN
dividuals. Too often they have found
it to be a symptom of an obscure dis
ease which is not easy to recognize.
Consider the plight of the "poor white
trash" and the "lazy good-for-nothing
negroes" of the south for example.
Industrious and well-to-do people OF
the north and of the south, too, for
that matter, have looked upon these
people with what they have thought
to be we'll merited contempt. But a
few we'll trained physicians, well
equipped with microscopes, have
turned that contempt into sympathy
and pity. By their exact methods OF
investigation they have established the
fact that millions of people are the
victims of a serious disease due to in
fections by hookworm.
The hookworm attacks people
through the feet. Poor people in the
South, therefore, who, because of pow

by Capt. Wiger's outfit last night s

Crests at the top, with victories

the Boosters had grand opportuni-
ties to make double plays that would

MISSOURI GRAIN CROPS TO
SMASH FORMER RECORDS ,
1917 Corn Harvest Best in IS Years
Wheat Acreage Increase.

Jefferson City. Oct. I3-Missouri's 5
official crop report for October made
public today by Secretary Jewell
Mayes of the state board of agricul-
ture is the best OF the year.
The corn crop for 1917, all safe
from frost, except a small percentage
of replanted acreage, is the best in IS
years.
1t is estimated that the yield of H.
100000 acres will average sc bushels
per acre, total of 100000 bushels.
The average per acre in 1902 was 10
bushels.
Secretary Mayes says that the new
corn crop is being sold under con-
tract for an average price OF $1.o7 per
bushel.
More wheat is sown and being
sown in the corn fields of the state
than ever before, although handi-
capped by dry weather aud scarcity
of farm hands.
The present outlook is that there
will be not less than 2.l6o 900 acres
of wheat planted in the state and it
may go to 100000 the amount pro-
posed by the federal authorities as
the proper shart of the state for aid
ing in the work of feeding the world.
Other crops show fine averages.
From nearly every section Of the
state comes complaint, the report
says, of crisis due to scarcity OF
farm labor, in some degree incident
to the young men going to war.
