INDIAN BOY HAD TWO HEADS

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. April 26. The body Of an Indian boy with two heads, four arms and four legs was discovered in cave near Okmulkee. Okla. yesterday by Em- mons Lowe, farmer boy. while hunting rabbits The body is near ly five feet tall The arms are all of the same length and reach far be low the knees. The flesh on the bones has dried and apparently there has been no decay
 Old residents in the vicinity of the cave where the body of the mon- strosity was found say they remem- Der such an Indian boy and that he has been missing nearly ten years. He was kept out of sight by other members of his tribe as much as possible. It is supposed that he wandered away and died in the cave.
 Persons who remember the freak declare it walked and talked as if it were not different from normal human beings. The bodies are join ed together below the shoulders and from there down to the hips.

 For long time the eyes of the two men met nwaveringly There was nervous cXaltation in Jim Warren's face: Franques was insCrutable as stone
 In view of all this" Franques broke the silence. I'm going to make a proposition that will astonish you You may take il or leave it I shall only ask a promise of absolute silence on your part if you refuse it
 T promise" said Jim Warren
 And Franques made his proposition. Jim Warren listened. while his sky blue eyes grew large with wonder. amazement. pleasure: his grin be- came a fixture; his sinewy fingers were interlaced The big idea was coming through, Lewis henchman was making it possible. It was fii as if this proposition had been plan ned 10 further the dig ideal! Franques stopped abruptly.

 Yes" said Jim Warren.
 Very well-thats all there is to it," Franques arose. Il think I've explained everything that's necessary. My motives are not genmane to the matter in hand. Of course you under stand we must not see each other again. We must be wholly disasso- cia,ed. Any communication between Us. however urgent. must be through indirect channels
 Shortly before o'clock the next afternoon Jim Warren sent an office boy 10 the heads of the various de p.rtments of the shop with the re- ouest that immediately after the whistle blew at quitting time the men should assemble in the iron yard: he would detain them only a moment. There. mounted on heap of pigiron, he addressed them.

I'm after his scalp. Are you with me-?
 There was an astonished silence for : che second. then yelp of approval. Through the tumult came shrilly the voice of old Bob Allaire:
 Go to him. Jim; go 10 him.
 There's little job of hOusewOrk to be done in the capital thatll make the cleaning of the Aueean stables lCok like an odd job for carpet ] sweeper" Jim Warren went on. Take it from me. I'm going 10 do i that bit of hOusework Before l fin : ish the crOoks'll be diving out of the windows"

SOME GARDEN THOUGHTS

It didn't require any expert testi- mOny to convince the emplOycs where Fatty Lewis worked that something had happened to him when he walked to his desk. Fatty shambled along with a decided limp. His every movement made il appar- ent that he was suffering great pain. When he sat down there was d grunt that could be heard all over the rOom
 If there's anything to this sec ond time Cn earth dope it's me for being an Indian Lewis declared as he made a painful effort to extract a key from his pocket.
 You'd make a swell Indian" IIur rah Smith suggested. "Where do you figure that the red men have got anything on you. II strikes me things break pretty soft around your way"
 Well. if was an Indian l wouldn't be feeling like I'd been knocked down and run ever by a motor truck" Lewis replied. If there was one thing them guys was long on it was being the head of the family. Every Indian ran his own shack Went when he pleased; got back when he felt like il and didn't have to explain anything The In dian didn't let woman do anything but the things they didn't care to do themselves.
 Things have got to a fine point when man can't go out and dig few angle worms without having his wife come out and make him dig up the entire back yard so she can have garden Lewis continued. Il was out back of the barn digging in some soft dirt when Mrs. Lewis butted in
 "'Thought you told me you had a lame back and you couldn't dig when l asked you to spade up a garden for me she declared.
 Well, have replied. I'm just digging few worms. but my backs hurting so bad I'll have 10 stop right now
 "'You bet you'll stop now she remarked 'You'll stop digging there and come up in the yard and spade up my garden. You put over that lame back excuse last year. but you'll not do it again
 You can hire a man for six bits" said
 Not with six bitses as scarce as they are around here she declared. You begin right there by that rose bush and spade over to that fence and youll get no more meals in this house till you finish the job

 "'You stand there and argue with me a little longer and I'll show you how easy it is to raise fuss on it. she replied in tones that left no room for doubt that she was in ear nest
 Talk about tunneling out of a penitentiary with fork being a hard job," Fatty declared. Tt couldn't have been any tougher than digging in that flint hill where I was working, and the way that woman bossed me was something fierce. l tried to get by and not dig very deep, but she was on the job every second.

SUGGESTIONS FOR INCREASING

Last year there were 1854 eco
acres planted in corn in Arkansas.
The average yield was twenty four
bushels. We can easily raise this
avelagae to fifty bushels by proper
seed selection and better methods
Of cultivation. Also by planting
our eorn on better land than we
used for this purpose last year.
Land that will only produce
fifteen bushels OF corn per acre
should not be planted in corn, but
should be planted III COW peasr
