CALIFORNIA; WHITE HOPE
Appears to Be Kid Fournier, Son of A. J. Fournier, Former Wlimantic Man--Wrests LaureIs from Denver.


 A. ]. Fournier, who a few years ago, left this city for San Francisco, Cal, to reside was married some time ago, and is the proud father of a son that Is gettins quite a reputation de- spite the fact that he is still but mite of a babe The San Francisco Call of Wednesday, April 10, published a picture Of the baby and a story in connection with the boy. The picture was four columns wide and exactly one half the size of the baby. Mir. Four nier is brother of Albert Fournier of this city. The story as published in the San Francisco Call follows;
 San Francisco Is the home of the champion pin feather weight of the world When he made his premier appearance at the home of A. J. Four nier, 603 Cole street. February ,, 1912, he tipped the scales, stripped, at one and three-quarter pounds. His height with his hair combed was Il inches. He was somewhat larger than 8 second, but considerably under a minute. Since that time he has grown, much to the delight of his IS year old mother, Yesterday, as a re- suit of the IS ounces of milk he con- sumes Oaily be weighed , whole pounds and was IS inches tail. No weed in your spring vegetable garden is growing like Al Fournier, Jr., and his pap, frantically figuring with ap prehensive PenciL has discovered that in six months and 34 days, at his sons rate of growth he will be so large as 10 require 42 COWS to keep him in milk and large enough in addition to lick his father if the milk is not pro- vided. Al, Jr.. wouldn't hear of an Incubator either, as he has just grOWed' like any standard sized infant on the usual infant rations. 'Califor- mia air and sunshine he is understood 10 have instructed his parents, is all any child of any proportions requires. hurrah for San Francisco, 1915"
 Anyway, young Fournier wrests the smallest baby laurels from Miss Mil dred Jean Ketchum, who was born in Denver Col, seven weeks ago, weigh Ing slightly more than two pounds. Her life was despaired of and she was kept in an incubator until week ago. And Denver rushed to the telegraph offices and announced to the chagrined world that the mile high city had the smallest citizen on the globe
 Now Denver must deflate it's chest and quit sending silver nursing bottles to Miss Ketchum. She was champion for only d few days and Kid Fournier, San Francisco's latest pride, now bears the title, And he is not reared in an incubator, either"
