MASON CHILD UNDERGOES
SERIOUS OPERATION
Bullet Lodged i'm Lung is Ex-
tracted by Means of Electrici-
ty at Hospital at Duluth.

An invention whereby pieces of
metal may be extracted from the hu-
man body with the aid of electricity
and the fact that such a machine was
to be had at Duluth probably saved
the life of the two year old baby of
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Lundsten, living
five miles west of Mason.
Some time last week the Lundsten
baby playing about the floor in the
home Of it's parents, discovered 20
calibre bullet lying on the floor and
the most natural thing for babies of
this age to do is to place the article in
its mouth, which this baby did. The
bullet went down the child's wind
pipe and lodged in the lungs causing
a fit Of coughing and choking.
DR.. Harrison of Mason was called
ard the child was ordered taken to
Ashland in the hope that the bullet
might be removed, but the operation
was of such a delicate nature that
it was thought best to take him to
Duluth where one of three of such
machines in the United States is To-
Gated.
The parents rushed the child to
Duluth on the next train and the
operation of removing the bullet
was performed successfully and the
child is now doing very nicely and
will fully recover from its expert
ence.

OPERATED ON

Gust Johnson, a bachelor residing
in the town of Mason, age 80 years
who has been a town charge for
some time, returned during the past
week from the Swedish hospital at
st. Paul where he was operated on
for cancer of the mouth, and he
reports feeling much better and is
in high spirit over the success of the
operation. The radium cure was
effected.
Although Johnson is 80 years of
age he is as spry as a kitten, and in
order not to put the town to any
more expense than was absolutely
necessary walked from his home to
Ashland in order to take the train
to the Twin Cities. The distance is
about 18 miles.

TRACTOR INTEREST IN THE
SOUTH

The Farm Implement News reports
that tractor interest is gaining very
strongly in the Piedmont region of the
Carolinas! Recently a demonstration
was held/o on the farm of Thomas Es-
kew, a prominent South Carolina
power farmer, which was attended
over a thousand farmers from that
region. Twenty tons of corn for silos
was prepared and stored. A five acre
field was also prepared for the plant
ing of crop of alfalfa, this task re-
curing less than three hours.
The recent increase in the price of
cotton has increased the purchasing
power of southern farmers, with the
result that many farms are being i'm
proved with modern equipment. Trac-
tors are considered indispensable in
the diversified farming which is be-
coming common in the South. The
farm engineering departments Of the
state colleges are attending and GO
operating in current tractor demon
strations, and further cooperation is
given by other departments of the COL
leges and by county agents.
