Small Boys Worm Farm Does Thriving Business (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, April 3. Thla li a worm story and it concerns fishermen, angle worms, three boys and the unusual but profitable business In which the lads are engaged. All the facts scrambled together and the result The Angle Worm Company, of Indianapolis; Mike Cain, aged J2, president. Mike is the ton of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Cain of this city, Three years ago the boys who were playmates, were offered a dime by a local merchant to get 'him a quart of angle worms. That was their start, their suggestion of the present business, and during the seasons for angle worms since then they have built up a trade, which last year called for them to supply about ten gallons of worms a week to fishermen. At the close of the 1918 seson they decided to form a company and announcements were sent to customers last week that the company would supply the worms to the trade this year. . . A "worm farm" has been developed into a highly organized institution. It is located in the back yard of the president. The worms are fed at reg

ular Intervals and cared for aa a farmer would his livestock or a poultry fancier his chickens. Almost every day the boys add to the stock on hand by digging in places where experience has taught them worms are certain to be found. After a rain, before the worms have had time to get off the cement walks, the boys gather them by the bucketsf uL Saturdays are devoted to getting out the Sunday orders of fishermen. , If one wants ordinary worms he can get them cheaper than be can "the Mg stripped, fat ones," which, the company advertises as choice and the ones fish in nearby creeks and rivers like best. The "choice" 6tock is retailed at ten cents a quart more than the ordinary worms. The company pays no taxes, no rent, has bought only an occasional spade or bucket, and has no financial losses. However, the president said he is not certain some of the worms have not crawled away. "Come to Indiana to fish," Is the company's motto.

As his contribution to the war cause, a barber of Brighton. England, gave 70,000 free -shaves and haircuts to soldiers in the local hospitals.
