Great Labor-Saver Discovered
The greatest boon ever brought to Brevard in the way of a
labor-saver for the poor overworked gents here who insist that
fishing is a prerequisite to health and happiness can be seen at
Bob Tharp’s plumbing establishment.
The contraption is an electric “worm digger,” which digs worms
without digging. Known as a “Wuppee,” the wonder-working ap
paratus consists of an extension cord and two metal posts about
two feet in length. All that is necessary to procure a large stock
of worms is to connect the cord with a light socket, ram the sharp-
pointed metal posts into the earth where worms are wont to habi-
tate, and sit down and wait for them to crawl out on top of the
earth, whole, clean and rearin’ to climb upon a fish hook.
There is no doubt about this “worm tale.” It works.' Proof was
furnished this writer early Wednesday morning when electric
treatments were given a number of uflsuspecting fish worms.

Church-goers were forced to go
in at a side door at the morning
