this appeal it is recognized that, at
the outset at least, such labor is not
efficient as experienced farm labor,
but the excellent results secured in
1918, when city men in large numbers
aided the farmers, leave no doubt as
to the success of the present drive II
the men will respond.
Plan to Help Farmers.
The United States department of
agriculture was represented by Asher
Hobson at the meeting of the National
Farm Labor conference held in Kan
sas City recently and the Office of farm
management, of which Mr.. Hobson is
assistant chief, is laying plans looking
toward offering effective aid in dealing
with the farm labor situation, partic-
ularly in the harvest season. 1t is ex-
pected that definite announcement re-
garding work along this line will be
made in the near future. Until other
provision has been made by the de-
partment all persons interested in find
ing work on farms should write to the
directors of agricultural extension at
the agricultural colleges in the vari-
GUS states. These directors are pre-

ONE DRINK JAILS BRIDEGROOM
Brooklyn Judge Lets Him Go to Try
to Square Things With His
Wife-to-Be.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Togged out in his
wedding finery, namely, a perfectly
correct afternoon outfit, Alexander
Kioskowsky, aged forty, woke up in a
cell.
His recollections of what happened
were vague. He remembered he had
started from his boarding house to
make his first venture in married life.
His wife-to-be was waiting for him.
His disposition to be prompt at the al
tar was fixed in his mind, but a temp
ter whispered to him that one little
glass of half of l per cent beer would
not hurt him. The barman whispered
'try whisky" as if he was doing him q
favor, and he did. That was the last
recollection he had until the cell Gus
todian woke him up and told him to
get ready to go to court.
The facts in the cas- were duly
presented to Magistrate Mcclure by
Patrolman McGovern, who had picked
the expectant bridegroom out of the
gutter.
IF you promise me that you will not
take another drink until you are safe
ly married I'll let you CO." said the
magistrate.
Kioskowsky promised, with marked
fervor, and then started out to square
things with the woman who may or
may not consent to be Mrs. KiOs.

"No Sportsman" Is Verdict on the German

Sportsmen of all kinds, whether or
not interested in racing, are concerned
in this action. The sportsman is the
gentleman of sports. He plays fair.
He is q good winner and a better loser.
"All men are equal on the turf and
under it."
The racing sportsmen of England
and Belgium have served notice on
the German that by their standards
he is no sportsman.
This action will be a crushing blow
to the horse breeding activities of Ger.
meny, Austro-Hungary. Bulgaria and
Turkey. Thoroughbred sires, most of
them of English lineage, Eel the
foundation of the great army and rae
ing studs developed by Germany and
Austro-H Hungary. The best were o n
too good in the establishment of a type
of general purpose horse.
The English Derby winners, Ard
Patrick and Galtee Moore, each cost
$4,000, and were among the fine sires
that were available to farmers and
breeders at a nominal fee.
Germany maintained racing on a
more or less ~pretentious scale during
the war. and there was no let up in
breeding.

KIM Alfonso Was Fined
for Waking on Grass

Madrid.-King Alfonso was
fined two pesetas for walking
across the grass in the Gardens
of the Alcazar. Every member
of his suite who followed the
king across the greensward like
wise was fined.
The first intimation the royal
party had that it had committed
an offense was when a guardian
approached and said: Your
majesty, walking on the grass is
forbidden. / must fine you &C
cording to my instructions" At
first King Alfonso was abashcd,
then he laughed and paid the
money.
Later the mayor of the town
called at the palace and apol-
ogized to the king, but his
majesty told him the guardian
had acted properly and should
be rewarded for devotion TO
duty.

Jockey club has not yet taken any

The United States is so remote from

Surgeon Perfects New Method of
Treating Tumor of the HUI
man Brain.
SAVES SCORES OF PERSONS
Discovery Is Result Of Long Series Of
Experiments on Animals-Locates
Tumors and Distractions
Every Time.

Baltimore, Md.-Dr. Walter E.
Dandy, associate in surgery at Johns
Hopkins hospital, has discovered a
process by which purified air is
pumped into the channels of the hui
man brain, thus making possible a
study Of the living brain.
The discovery is regarded of ire
mendous Importance in that it al
ready has saved scores of persons from
idiocy and premature death, by max
Ing possible the exact location of
brain tumors, and thus their eventual
removal.
The discovery Of Doctor Dandy is
the result of a long series of expert
ments on animals.
Fluid That Feeds the Brain.
In each hemisphere of the brain
there Is a large ventriele or chamber
connecting with an elaborate system
of channels filled with q fluid pro-
duced apparently by one of the glands
and delivered to the brain through
the spine. This fluid passes slowly to
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1920-05-27
Discovers Way

the surface of the brain, there to be
absorbed by the brain tissue, and it
might be described as the fluid on
which the brain feeds.
An excess of this fluid is known as
hydrocephalus, or water on the brain.
Doctor Dandy has discovered that it
frequently follows a tumor which
blocks the passage of the fluid. Ma
ture provides but one method of dis
posing of it, absorption. When that
is prevented by a tumor, the fluid col
lects and presses against the brain,
destroying it. Sometimes patients will
live for years as imbeciles.
Trials So Far Successful.
In every case where it has been
used the method has been successful
in locating tumors and other brain OBJ
structions within a hairs breadth.
One Of the most remarkable features
of the discovery is that it is most eff
cacious when only a local anesthetic
Is used. 1t was discovered that the
patient felt no i'll effects and was able
to give assistance to the surgeon.
In one case described by Doctor
Dandy a patient was operated on half
a dozen times for a tumor of the brain
without success. Doctor Dandy used
his process and located the tumor,
which was removed from q point not
considered by diagnosticians.
A photograph of the patient prior to
the operation showed a face with sag.
ging lines and the vacant stare of i'm
becility. A photograph a few months
after the operation showed a man ap'
parently in full possession Of his
senses.

Shortage of Hired Labor Threat

MEREDITH MAKES AN APPEAL
Increase of Wages From is to IS Per

Washington-With q shortage Of
hired farm labor, as acute as in 1918,
threatening to curtail food production
on American farms, E. T. Meredith,
secretary of agriculture, has issued
an appeal to city men, college students
and others to spend their vacations
working on farms, particularly as
helpers in harvest fields.
Reports secured by the federal de-
partment from its representatives in
practically every state in the Union
show that the supply of hired farm
labor in this country Is only about Y
per cent of the normal supply, com
pared with approximately S4 per cent
Of a normal supply a year ago. This
years shortage is almost exactly the
same as that of two years ago when
large numbers of men were in military
service.
May Cut Production.
The present shortage has arisen in
ypite Of the fact that farm wages are

year. The situation, unremedied, can
not fail to have unfavorable effect on
production, according to the United
States department of agriculture, and
will tend to prevent any reduction in
The prices of farm products. While
the total acreage undoubtedly will be
reduced as a result Of the present stu

said, and the titled fields will be less
