Finds Nine
Leaf Clover
WASECA-If finding four leaf
clover is supposed to bring the find
er good luck, what sort of luck is
coming to a person who finds a nine
leaf clover? That is the question
which Mrs. Howard Chard who lives
just outside the city limits would
like some one in authority to an
swer. She found the oddly on her
lawn recently. There are nine per-
fectly formed leaves at the top of
the stem like a cluster Of rose
leaves. She also found another
stem with six perfectly formed
leaves. Mr.. Chard is a substitute
rural mail carrier and he brought
the clovers to the post office, where
they were examined by the en-
ployes who will vouch for the ver-
acity Of the unusual nine leaf Glow
err.
Chulxars Ro0st
On House Tops
FAIRMONT-At least four of a
band Of Chukar cartridges released
last spring on the Dirk Spec farm
near town have not gone native"
For time they browsed daily with
Dirk's chickens, while ever since
threshing time in August the quar-
tet selected a porch at the rear of
the farm home for a roost and be-
came so tame members of the fam
lily can walk as close or closer to
them as they can to their chickens.
If the men leave the car in the
yard, the Chukars are apt as not to
select the radiator hood for an easy
chair. During the day they go
afield, but return practically every
night about shutdown, hop over the
fence into the yard and browse
around under the family's noses. 1t
is hoped by their farmer friends
that some poacher won't take adj
vantage Of their tameness and kill
them.
Teeth Burn Merrily
In Morning Fire
GRANITE FALLS - You can't
blame George Knutson for being
burned up when he discovered that
he had used his false teeth to kim
die the morning fire one day rec
emily. While building the fire in
the range that morning, George re-
moved his teeth and placed them
on a piece of paper. When the fire
was burning merrily he siezed the
piece Of paper, crumpled it up and
tossed it in the blaze. Some time
later George looked for his teeth
and realized what he had done. Too
late, the teeth were molten mass
in the stove.
Gaudy- Colored
Snake Is Found
GRANITE FALLS - Credit for
finding the brightest colored snake
seen around that country goes to
Leonard Brandt. The reptile, which
is about a foot long, has reddish
brown back with parallel white
striped running around his body.
The under side Of the body is mark
ed in black and white like a check
err board. The head of the snake
was flat and the little rascal was
belligerant, rising on an inch Of his
tail and holding his body upright
to strike at anything in his way.
Inasmuch as no one could identify
the reptile, he was taken to the
school where the instructor In biol
ogy said she had never before seen
snake like this. The snake was
left there and an attempt will be
made to identify 1t.
Driverless Auto
Hightails Into Garage
ORTONVILIE A bright and
shining automobile, owned by
Frank Swenson is so used to be-
ing under cover" that it decided
one afternoon recently that 1t
wasn't going to be subjected to a
whipping "tail wind" as it stood
parked in front Of the court house.
Consequently, it spied a nice-look-
ing private garage at the rear Of a
home on First Street and made a
bee-line squirt for cover. It crossed
Main Street without harm, dove ov-
er 4-foot ledge beyond the side
walk, crossed a hundred foot lot
and stuck it's nose into private
garage in which another car was
housed. So trinity did 1t cut its
way into the garage that one would
scarcely believe there had been a
forced entry. Only slight damage
was done to the car, scratch or
