one of the two authors of the incom-

laughing! That We may laugh in the

as that of the freighter in the alkaline

POST WINS ON GOLDEN CALF
TWO Headed Animal Aids In Raising
Organizations Funds From
500 to $500.

The Golden Calf Of the Twentieth
century has been discovered by the
American Legion post at Fredericks-
burg, Va.,. which owes an increase in
Its working capital from 500 to $500
to a two-headed Juvenile COW, in full
title to which the post invested its
scant 500 last fall.
Having induced a Westmoreland
county farmer to part with the freak
animal for this sum- a special levy Of
various small amounts was made
upon the treasury to buy nourishment
for the calf. Then came the Virginia
state fair in Richmond and the calf
was in full bloom, eating both his
heads off and waxing fat withal.
The Fredericksburg post put him
on exhibit, charging a suitable fee.
When the fair was over and the dust
had settled, the post treasury con-
tanned 81 5OO-the accrued earnings Of
