BABY IS BORN
IN MEXICO FEB. 20

"He's just a year old today" can
never be said of the little son born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Luther Belcher in this
city Sunday. The little youngster
will be four years old when he has
his first birthday, all because the
Fates and the Stork so willed that he
should make his appearance into the
world on February 90, the m day Of
its kind in four years.
Another child, that was born to Mr..
and Mrs. Earnest Chatham, missed
being a February % baby by only ten
minutes, having been born just that
much before midnight on the 28th.
While the joys of celebrating birth
days will have to be ~foregone three
years out of every four by the young
Belcher heir, there is another view Of
the situation which may, in later years
cause him to consider himself FORUM
ate rather than unfortunate. When
he is forty years old he can say, with
the spirit of youth, that he is having
his tenth birthday; and when, if it 50
happens that he lives that long, ne is
twice hal age, plus four, ne can call
in his young friends who have Just
attained their majority and revel
with them upon the occasion of his
twenty-frst birthday.
