PLEASANT RIDGE.

W. D. Bond has a very strange hen. She is taking care of a “brood” of four little kittens. Wilbur cooped the hen up for a week and removed the kittens to another barn and when he let the old hen out she hunted the kittens and now she follows them around as if they were as many little chicks. Roy lawman has become quite inventive since he went through the glass front of Harve Lowman’s auto when it ran into the ditch. He has been trying to invent one which can be used on the farm and at the same time nqUvary dangerous. The result of his inventive genius is a home-made auto. He uses it in connection with the corn planter with great satisfaction. He says it is as good as the pies mother used to make. Neighbors think it will probably make a great hit?
