8 MANY EARS ARE FOR SALE Offer of SIO,OOO For New One Draws Many Bid ders You’d think ear? were mothers-in law the way folks, from San Diego, Cal., to Bar Harbor, Me., are fighting to get rid of ’em. Ears by express and offers of hundreds of ears by every mail continue to pour into the office of Frank S. Quessada, of New York City, millionaire Cuban sugar planter. This is how it started: Quesada, who lost his left ear in an accident, advertised in the papers for a new one. . “I’ll pay SIO,OOO for a nice, pink; graceful ear,” he said. Bingo! Hen pecked husbands offered their ears cheap; said tney’d rather not have ’em anyway. A student in a Phila delphia 'medical college snipped off the “listening piece” of a dead booze hound. put the ear in an envelope and maile it to Quesada. A Nevada urchin sent a box containing the ear Os a rabbit. Mrs. Mabel Truckey, aged twenty one, mother of two children, and liv- Uxc: in Detroit, Mich., offered her left *H.r to the rich Cuban. She said she had a stylish ear to boot.’ “I can fix my hair so none of my neighbors’ll know it’s gope,” she said. And here’s a preacher who hasn’t any use for his left “horn.” He is the Rev. E. H. Donner, of Char lotte, N. C. ‘T can use SIO,OOO better than I can two ears,” he wrote to Quesada. “I tried to earn a living as a minis ter, but it doesn't pay a living wage.” “Ah. let’s make it an auction ear sale! For up steps F. M. Burkus, Chi cago. who offers his ear for $6,000. Who'll make it $j,975? Going! Go ing!

Marshall, of Spokane. Wash., has a nifty little ear for sale. It’s never missed a bit of gossip, she says. You can have it, Mr. Quesada, for a mere 12.400. Who-o-a, there!

Hugs Woman at Show; Says He Was Asleep; judge Collects $lO NEW YORK.—While watching a motion picture called “The Right to Love,” in the Harlem opera house . recently, Mrs. Anna Foley, of 468 West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, felt a hand caress her. It was that of a man sitting in th§ next seat. Then his arm went about her waist. Mrs. Foley cut loose with a cou ple of rights and lefts as fast as Carpentier’s. Next she seized her umbrella and belabored the man over the head. Then she grabbed him by the collar and marched him outside to Patrolman Condon. The prisoner described himself as Marcus Brown, twenty-seven, mar ried. of No. 2137 Seventh avenue. He said to Magistrate Douras in the night court: “I won’t dispute the lady, Your Honor. I guess I did it, but it was in my sleep. I dozed off when look ing at the picture and didn’t know What I was doing.” Which wasn’t much of a boost for Mae Murray’s picture. Brown was fined $lO. ' | BLIND WEAVERS FIND CONTENTMENT AS THEY LEARN TO ‘’SEE” WITH FINGERS ; -T1 ! iiiißlt 1 i Whgs Hi 4 -/ ; flv I F !m3H il l - - .'Wx i CINCINNATI, O. —There are no idle hands at Clovernook Home for Blind, at Alt. Healthy, near Cincin nati. Miss Florence Trader, who, with her sister, Georgia Trader, has charge of the home, testifies to that, “We strive to be happy and con tented,” says Miss Trader, “Work helps a great deal to this end. “The blind seem to have no diffi culty in learning to weave. A girl 'catches on’ to the art in two days and soon masters the loom work.” Coverlets, Rugs, Scarfs Outing flannel cretonne, calico and ticking are used in the weaving. Coverlets, pillow covers, table scarfs and bags are among the articles which have spread the fame of Clovernook’s products. Crocheted rugs, too, are a big feat ure of Hie workshop’s output. Some of the blind women are said to be able to make half a dozen 25x54-inch rugs in a day. Miss Trader says no elaborate de signs are attempted on the looms, but some of the simple designs woven into covers and rugs are very artistic. The women become experts at the loom and work so fast that a coverlet 54 by 90 inches is finished In three or four days.

Chick Yancy, Horns and Whiskers Are Kudu’s Pride J Mb One of the most interesting of recent immigrants from Africa is the Greater Kudu, a beautiful member of the African antelope family. The Kudu has long spiral horns with which he fights, and long slender legs with which he runs like the dickens when he’s trying to avoid a fight. Nature presented the Kudu with enormous ears, which as sure him fine hearing facilities, frequently needed in African jun gles. But nobody has yet discov ered why nature gave the Greater Kudu such a magnificent collec tion of whiskers. This truly won derful beard hangs from the Kudu neck from fore legs to his chin. Only'one thing about the flock of whiskers is certain: It wasn’t put there to improve the Kudu’s good looks. Given a bit of barbering the Kudu would just about take any animal beauty prize. I Does He Deserve a Meda! or a Fine? CHICAGO. George Klat, a comparatively new mail carrier, found his back breaking under the load of campaign speeches and literature he was-compelled to de liver. He told his troubles to a veteran —one with a low sense of humor. “You poor fish.” returned the veteran, scornfully, “don't you know what we do with all that political stuff? We burn it.” The idea appealed to Klat. He was fflund feeding the —ilitical propaganda Into the furiiace of the Everett School on Irving ave nue and was arrested. "Sure I burned the stuff.” he admitted. “’Why shouldn’t I? Ev erybody’s doing it. What good was it, anyhow?” Clovernook, itself, the background tor a/1 this activity, is the old home stead of the poets, Alice and Phoebe Cafiy, who, according to later records, spent their childhood days there and wrote their first poems in the old house when they could evade the -H>ye of a disapproving stepmother. of East Point; second, third, fifth, Ivah; fourth.

Whist ler, ‘Baron’ Is ‘Bilked’ Both Inside and Out; Loses Suit and Chops CHICAGO. —Into that port of missing men, Norfh Clark street, drifted Baron Kajetan Lang of Ha gendorf, Bavaria, who had lost a fortune in gambling and was hun gry. He drifted into the chop suey emporium of Mr. Chang Foo, penny wise and foolish as a fox, and asked for something to eat, preferring pork chops, admitting he had no money Wherewith to pay. Mr. Chong Foo noted that the hun : gry Baron was wearing expensive clothing. “For your coat, I will give two pork chops,” he said. Off came the coat. “I want l«ts of gravy, rich, yel lowish brown gravy, with cream and butter,” added the Baron. “For your pants, I will give a large boat of gravy,” said the im perturbable Chink. Off came the pants. “How about some pie a la mode?” queried the Baron. “For your hat and shoes, I will serve pie a la mode and fragrant coffee.” Off came the hat and shoes, and the Oriental departed for the kitchen. Then came a disturbance in the per son of an armed robber, who not only despoiled Chang Foo of his money, but made off with the Baron’s ward robe. So he lost not only his clothes, but the pork chops and pie as well. The police draped the despoiled Baron in a portiere, and took him to. the station. Later some one do nated a pair of trousers. The Baron will assist in cooking at the Bride well for a few days until friends can supply him with a coat, hat and shoes. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26. 1920. Ponzi Not Robber; Clever, Says Court BOSTON.—Charles Ponzi, whose . international postal coupon ! scheme anil offers of 50 per cent profits in forty-five days, collapsed two months ago, with millions of 1 public investments tied up in it, I was declared insolvent by James D. Olmstead, referee in bankrupt- I cy. In a report -submitted to the : federal district court, the ref- | eree found that Ponzi had no part- I tiers. “While Mr. Ponzi is not to be classed in the same category with a robber or a burglar, the decision said, “he was undoubu-d --ly a clever manipulator who took advantage of the credulity of the investing public, which in this in stance is the usurer. “Investors who loaned- their money for a return of the prin cipal and 50 per cent interest would seem themselves to be | guilty of usury if such existed.” This Farm Produces $1,000,000 Harvest The biggest grain farm in the ! world, the Cameron ranch of the Noble Foundation, 20 miles north east of Lethbridge, Canada, will yield a $1,000,000 crop this year. These tfields a few years ago were : used only by trappers of the Hud son Bay company, which is disposing of its remaining lands to farm set tlers. Now the farm is yielding its i- first big harvest of wheat, at an average of from 25 to 30 bushels to I an acre. C. S. Noble, who heads the largest farming company in the world, began with half a section, and today his : holdings total 33,000 acres. He has L 18,280 acres in crop in all grains. Sixty binders, 240 horses and an i army of workers are used to harvest ' the immense crop.—Grit. ©Let Own lime to Pay "W ft Plan Wipes Out The Middleman r ecor^4 Broken in Biggest Nation-Wide Sale of Organs t'X Y; i-'iL: ite£cSSisax\ Ever Known—Competition Entirely Swept Away by My No- r'L-jj?
