ZELDA FRAGMENTS

Cecil Granger while progging
around in a flag pond was bitten by
a moccasin, but with no serious re-
suits.
Our school is due to open next
Monday, Sept. 4th. We have two
teachers. two rooms and expect forty
or more pupils.
Doris Fulghum has opened
small store with a nice lot of fresh
groceries at reasonable price, which
will prove quite convenience to all
Of us.
TWO OF our young men, whose
minds run in the Burbans direction
have conceived the idea of crossing
the common barn yard hen with the
soft turtle, and if successful in max
ing this cross they will continue the
experiment by crossing with the
goose and the logger-head turtle.
The idea is to get Il creature that
will feed itself, furnish meat as good
as the chicken or goose, lay as many
eggs every day as the logger-head
turtle lays at one sitting, say 500, the
size of goose eggs, furnish 500 pounds
of meat when butchered and as many
feathers at one picking as could he
obtained from 90 geese. Fuzzy Fraz-
zletop and Hairy Highpockets, the
youngsters trying out the experiment,
have promised to report their success
as soon as the first Matching of eggs
comes OFF This new animal, fowl,
or whatever it may be when hatched
will be named "Hcnturgoo!og."
