Captain M. R. Stark and Fire Chief R. R. Wolfe of the St Johns fire department exhibit an electric angle worm extractor device. A copper wire in a socket pulls worms from soil, while a fattening pen at the station speeds worm production to meet demand. Curious locals watch as the men joke about “electric treatments” for roses.
