Mr.. and Mrs. j. ]. Jensen, 4 miles
north of Askov, have had the novel
experience, this summer, of raising a
chicken with three legs. The bird
was killed and dressed the first of
this week and proved to be normal
in all other respects. The third leg
protruded almost straight back from
the body and generally dragged along
the ground, it was never used for
walking purposes.
Under auspices of the local Young
Peoples Society a home talent will be
presented at the D. B. S. hall Thurs

Apparently there will not be many
home talent plays this winter, and
this is the only one, perhaps, in the
American language, so take advan-
tage of it and be there.
