tions and learn to intermingle hand
money" and heart money"

the five group chairmen. including w.
E. Hickman, Windsor; O. T. Christen-
sen, Castle Rock; D. T. Stone, Grand
Junction; X. A. Gagg, Durango, and

told of good crop conditions. of in
creased population and of expanding
business.

yer, secretary, and of A. M. Rex of
Kiowa, treasurer. showed the organ
ization to be in a prosperous condi,
tion.
The building of a uniform system
OF state roads, cooperation in the use
of the land farm loan law and the Sc
curing of loan bank in Denver and
review of the prosperous conditions
throughout the state were dominating
features in series of resolutions
adopted by bankers representing ev
cry section of Colorado at the closing
session of the fifteenth convention of
the Colorado State Bankers Associa-
ton
The following officers were chosen:
]. M. B. Petriken, Greeley, president;

HEN FREAK BREAKS RECORD
One Of Wlseonsln's 6iddles' Euss
Hatehes chlcA IN and .
Half Out.

Attracted the other day to his incu-
bator by a promising peep, peep"
Fremont Lounsbury saw emerging
from a shell little ball Of fur with
a half-chicken~ alongside. The whole
fowl was perfect. The half fowl had
no wings, neck or head. Otherwise 1t
was all a chicken should be.
Lounsbury explains the birth Of the
chicken and half in a most convinc-
ing manner. He says that some time
ago one of his hens was run over by
a motorcycle with side car attached.
He did not think much Of the acculent
at the time, but now recalls that the
unfortunate hen was the one that laid
the egg that produced the chicken and
half. Therefore Lounsbury asserts
that chickens also are subject to pre-
natal influence.

Satisfactory Explanation.

He recently returned from a hunt
ing trip with fine rabbit which he
said he had bagged.
1t is to be recalled that he won q
running match last summer. This was
when he inadvertently stepped upon
the stomach Of a gentleman who had
buried himself in the sand for a sun
bath, and the man pursued him with
evident intention to violate the law
against creating disturbance.
His friends, to whom he exhibited
the rabbit with some pride, comment
ed on the circumstance that 1t showed
no marks Of shot. Their suspicion that
1t was caught with ferret was re-
moved by the explanation:
II ran it down." he said.
