Ear an Incubator

A newspaper article in Kansas
says that last week VIM. Heck.
man had a hurting in his ear.
He went to a doctor who saw
something wiggling that looked
like a worm and tried to draw
the object out with water but
failed. Saturating a piece of cot
ton with chloroform and putting
it in Heckman's ear for a short
time then washing the ear out,
twenty-five bugs about a fourth
of an inch were brought out.
The bugs had been hatched out
in this human incubator in forty
eight hours. What the effect on
Hickman had the bug broken
through his eardrum and emula-
ted bugs is bugs" can be easily
questioned.

REPORT OF FRUIT CROP
Missouri Fruit Crop all But a
Failure. Uniform Loss in
All Sections and Counties

The damage to the fruit crop
this year has been so great that
some trees were killed and much
difficulty is experienced in keep
ing up interest in spraying and
other orchard practices.
According to the State Board
of Agriculture reports from all
counties show that all counties
and sections of the state suffered
a uniform loss and many grow
ers report 1t the worst failure in
years.
The apple crop was damaged
92 per cent and a few scattering
apples are to be seen but could
not be called a crop.
Peaches were 81 per cent kill
ed and plums 95 per cent DANA
ged with only a light crop in the
southern part of the state.
Gooseberries and currants
damaged IS per cent, with worm
infestation bad in places. Straw
berries were damaged 60 per
cent.
Grapes were 65 per cent killed
and in many cases the vines sci
new leaves and blossoms after
the first buds had been killed.
Blackberries and raspberries
are the most promising crop and
about the only fruit left.
Cherries were damaged SO pei
cent and no crop of any conse'
queuce.
Housewives will have to car
vegetables and make tomato pre-
serves or do without.

DISARMAMENT, PERHAPS
President Harding Makes Pro
posaI. Leading Nation to
Acquiesce. Money Saver

President Harding last week
made a proposal to England.
France, Italy and Japan that
each of these nations join the
United States in plans for dis
armament. Japan held out for
q time but the other nations well
coined at once the suggestion.
1t is understood now that Japan
will join in the conference on the
subject and that accredited dele
gates from all the countries nam
ed will meet at Washington at
no distant date to discuss the
subject. The disposition on the
part of each of the countries
named to build and maintain q
greater navy than any other one
country, and that in the face of
the fact that practically every
nation on earth is bankrupt. has
caused statesmen the world
over. nearly all of the same va
riety, to surmise that the people
generally would be heard from
in no uncertain way if tax bur-
dens were kept on the increase.
But few believe anything worth
while will result from the move,
however.

Monday, julius was severely in
jured by being jammed between
the work bench and car. Both
mechanics were at work on the
front end of the car and desir-
ing the motor started told Mr..
Wright to do so. He got in and
kicked the starter and tho the
car was in gear, it lunged for
ward and caught both workmen
between it and the bench. Fred
escaped with a slight fiattening,
an opening under the bench
permitted him to be knocked
under but there was no opening
into which julius could be SHOW
ed so he was badly fiattened.
No bones were broken tho liga.
ments in his right leg were
torn and muscles ripped up
The fender Of the car was bent
and one of the lights bent back
when they struck julius. 1t was
a narrow escape from being bad
ly crushed.
