TWO-HEADED CALF
IS STRANGE FREAK
ONE FULL DEVELOPED ON
EACH SIDE OF NECK. LIVED
BUT SHORT WHILE.

The latest thing in the way OF
freaks in Terrell county, and prob,
ably in the state was a two-headed
calf which was brought to Dawson
Friday afternoon by Mr.. c. 7. Nor
ton, who lives on the H. A. Petty
farm, near Bronwood. The calf was
fully developed with two perfectly
formed heads about middle way OF
the neck, and each head having two
ewes two ears and a mouth. The
mother of the freak was five-gal-
Ion Jersey cow. The cow and calf
both died. 1t was only short time
ago that Mr.. Norton exhibited a
sweet potato that was perfectly
shaped like a small duck, with the
exception of feet, and, Of course,
feathers. The freak potato attracted
much attention, but the two-headed
calf aroused even more curiosity.

There was sensational decline of

bales.
Because of the low prices now be-
ing offered the farmers are holding

The oil mills have not begun opera
tons, due to the fact that they have
not been able to buy enough seed at
the prevailing price to authorize the
running of the plants. Seed have re-
NAMED at $50 ton since the open

The result is that in your theatre you

so precious to the history of the Amer

attention to the safety of the original pa
pers i'll the big safe and asked that all
citizens see that they are safely honOred
in the hearts of the American people.
For a long time the documents were
kept in tin cylinder until 1870, but in
that year the sheets were flattened and
placed in a red morocco ease, where they
remained until 1898. In this year a
steel ease was made for them, and. each
sheet of the two documents Theoretically
sealed between two plates of French glass,
to prevent damage from exposure to air

as the custodian of the documents and
must inspect them from time to time, in

price was $500 hundred at the mills.
as against 1915 in 1918, but against
$1.8S in 1916.
This gives good example of what
newspapers have been up against. Notice
what paper was selling for in 1915, then
at 1919, and see how big an increase
publishers have to pay for the paper they
use every day. The cost of paper is a
tremendous item, and the government has

The great majority Of coal and steel

repudiate any charges Of sympathy with
