Dinner for Mr. Plague

Clarence Paul Schmidt

Milwaukee Journal

During a grasshopper invasion about fifteen miles north of Milwaukee, Mr. Schmidt was unable, because of high winds, to get close-up shots in the field. Placing a few grasshoppers in a flashlight case (all he had to carry them in), he transfered his efforts to the journal studio with this result.
