who seemed too i'll to talk at all,
who arrived in Rochester, NJ. Y,
the other day and Immediately the
woman inquired Of q hotel door
man how to reach the Zumbro
hotel. Having difficulty under
standing the woman, he called a
nearby traffic cop and both were
completely baffled by the question.
Several minutes elapsed before the
Patrolman Heveron saw the light
when the woman revealed that the
hotel was close to the Mayo Clinic
to which the unhappy woman had
tried to bring her husband all the
way from Florida.
Prehistoric Chicks, Perhaps?-
Observation-Disclosures Of the
eastern states must be breeding
an unusually large type of chick
en-, or SO thinks Earl Markham,
Kasson lumberman, who recently
ordered a carload of eastern pet
roleum coke. Egg-size was speci-
fled. 1t took the combined strength
of five husky men to unload one
chunk measuring five feet by four
feet by four feet high.
True Friendship
Plainview-Many stories are re-
lated Of a dogs friendship for man,
but here is one of mans friend
ship for a dog surviving the most
acid test. George Douglas, with his
dog and family went to the hunt
ing club camp recently and Mickie,
the dog, was turned loose in the
woods. He pursued his favorite
sport - killing cats - Immediately.
This time his victim was the black
kind with a white stripe up it's
back. A sousing and ducking in
the river followed for Mickie but
the evidence still chung to him. It
was twenty miles home and the
family too tender hearted to make
the dog run all the way, opened the
windows wide, and Dough opened
the throttle for a record dash.
There were some upset stomachs
in the crowd and Mickie is still
wandering around sadly wondering
why his friendly advances are
Stunned.
Four Apples
Make Four Pounds
st. Peter-Rev. r. A. Neudecker
doesn't usually boast of his ability
as a gardener or horticultural, but
he recently brought in four Wolf
River apples that prove he has a
lot Of ability in those lines and that
this is a good apple year. Total
weight of the four apples was four
pounds, one Of which weighed 10
ounces. This apple is not a good
eating one but is better for baking.

Smallest Calf
Comfrey-At the William Wall
farm near here may be seen about
the smallest article in the calf line
that has ever been produced in
it is believed. This calf
is now 15-days old, is 19-inches
high and 24-inches long. It weighs
20 pounds and is able to stand
alone. Apparently the little fellows
Of growing up in the
world are bright. When It was
born Mr.. Wall concluded that its
life would be Of q brief time only.
He mixed eggs with milk and fed
it with a spoon until it was strong
enough to take milk from a bottle
with a nipple. Still, 1t is too short
to reach up and take its meals as
do ordinary calves.
A Mark For
Pumpkin Growers
Stephen - There are pumpkins
and then again there are pump
kins. Paul Durand drove in from
the farm the other day with one
specimen weighing Al pounds and
another 81 pounds-and then stat
ed that there were still twenty
pumpkins left on one vine.

Wabasso-Just lacking 2 ounces
of weighing a full pounds, is the
weight of a tomato picked from
the garden vines of Mrs. John AL
bers. The moist weather Of the
past week has developed large toms
but this seems to beat all records.
