ROBINS DIE THE WORMS
CRTS ATE THE ROBINS.
RUINED TRUCK GARDEN
Even the poor worm craves his
I
booze. t
"Old Fourth of July Harry" H. Mel-,
vin, came into town, for a visit yester- j
day "cussing” like a trooper on the j
account of the lowly worm. Worm is |
have ruined the majority of his crop ,
of vegetables.
Each year Mr. Melvin raises some of
the choicest vegetables sold on the lo
i cal market but not this year; and the
| worse part of it is that no one is to
i blame but himself.
For let it be broadcast throughout
the world he made a remarkable dis
covery which should be of untold va
lue tfi agricultural experts and the
common farmer; to wit, as a lawyer
would add.
He took over to his farm last sum
mer two stray alley cats, (at least he
.says they were) for the express pur
pose of hoping they would kill off the
greater portion of rats running a
round hog-wild over there. The cats
performed most nobly, so well in fact
that they also cleaned up on the rob
bins, they chased them off the lot to
parts unknown. So, no more robins
for to eat fat, juicy worms; the worms
increased by the thousand and in or
der to meek out a bare existence, vig
orously began attacking and eating
off the choice vegetables of all variet
ies planted with so much care by Mr.
Melvin.
“But the funny part of the whole
‘sheebang’ is that the worms will not
eat carrots,” he added, further stat- '
ing he believed the reason is because
carrots have no alcoholic content.
Now that he has gotten rid of the cats
he hopes the robins will come back
to eat the worms.
HOOVER REPORTS FLOOD
REFU9EES IN GOOD SHAPE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. (/^—Sec
retary Herbert Hoover reported to
President Coolidge that the flood re
fugees of the Mississippi will be ad
equately handled until January 1,
and that there would probably be a
