MONEY FROM EARTH WORMS
Old Man Makes Living Gathering
Night crawlers and Other Crea-

The other morning early, during a
mild shower, we stepped from our front
door and looked down the gloomy

Ing toward us. stopping every moment
or two to pick up something from the

that he carried on his arm, says the
Ohio State Journal.
We watched until he approached In
front of our domicile, when our curl
osity could stand it no longer, and so
we went out and asked what he was
gathering, when he held the bucket to
our gaze, and in it was gallon Of fish
worms that he had gathered from the

at the edge Of the gutter stream. His
eyes were trained to observe those

he had neglected the gutter in front of

BE said his business was fish bait;
that crawfish was what he gathered
mostly, but that night crawlers were
always more or less In demand, espe-

this old man gathering night crawlers,

CEDAR FENCES ARE PASSING
Wood Rapidly Being Bought Up for
Use in the Manufacture of
Lead Pencils.

Today, through many sections Of
Tennessee, Virginia and other states
where cedar used to thrive, it is diff
cult to find any of the old-time zig-zag
fences where rattlesnakes used to hide
and woodchucks burrow and bob
whites make their nests. Modern,
clean woven-wire fences, with metal
posts, take their places.
The war boosted the price Of steel
and woven wire, but not enough to
prevent making it profitable to eX-
change new fences for old and the
work is still going on. Probably in an.
other five years there won't be foot
of cedar rail fence left in America.
When General Andrew Johnson moved
to Tennessee, in 1915, the central part
of the state was overgrown with ce-
dars.
They were cut to clear the land and
burned to get rid of them. Millions
Of feet Of them were split into rails,
the sort Lincoln split when a boy,
and used for fencing-off plantations.
boundary lines, fields and pastures.
These rails are sliced into six-inch
lengths on the ground, before shipping
to the factories, to facilitate handling.
A two-inch strip, a rod long, will make
1,500 pencils, and as the fences have
from six to nine rails and crossposts,
one section will make enough twoinch
strips for more than 1,500 pencil
sticks.
A rod Of farm fence will retail for
nearly S750-provided it is good
cedar-and the woven wire fences cost
no more than $40 rod, generally less,

Mexican Bad Lands.

We are accustomed TO talk Of Mex
leo as a wonderful country, the treas
ure house Of the world, etc. Those
statements are correct and, at the
same time, there is as much poverty
in Mexico as anywhere on earth. The
reason is that more than 90 per cent
of Mexico is arid. The arabic land Is
not sufficient to support the popula"
ton in prosperity. There are few
rivers in Mexico and there is lot OF
desert land. Where agricultural con"
ditions are good the yields are mar
velous, but to the vast majority Of
the people life is desperate strug-
gle.
1t is possible by water conservation,
by scientific work to reclaim much Of
the arid land, but the Mexlcans neith-
er have the money nor the ability,
even if they had the desire to do so.
Most Of the waste land is in north
ern Mexico. Most Of the fruitful land
Is in central or southern Mexico.
Someone suggested Mexico would
know peace If it was split up, if north.
ern Mexico was separated from the
rest of the republic. Perhaps that is
so, but the Mexican IS proud person,
and he'd rather be poor and have his
pride than rich and prosperous
