A CHICKEN-GUINEA Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hoehne, a prominent farm couple of Fabius township, north of Palmyra, have a very peculiar speciman in their poujtry yard one which hardly knows which it belongs, the chickens or the guineas.

The fowl, a cross between a chicken and a guinea, is now about three months old and half grown. Early in the summer Mrs. Hoehne set a hen on some guinea eggs in the barn. Chicken eggs will hatch in three weeks but guinea eggs require a week longer, a total setting period of four weeks. But one morning, as Mr.

Hoehne was working around the barn he heard a peep coming from the nest in which the hen was setting on the guinea eggs and he told one of the children to tell Mrs Hoehne that the guinea eggs were hatching. As the eggs had been setting only three weeks, Mrs. Hoehne thought it rather strange but upon investigation found that one of the eggs had hatched and the product had resemblance of both a chicken and a guinea. When first hatched it was a fluffy yel low, but still had the slick head like a guinea. As it developed it is becoming mottled on the wings and the iVddish bald head is still very much in evidence.

The fowl is perfectly normal and healthy and Mr. Hoehne is arranging for its display in town at a near date. When the fowl was in its baby stages it followed the hen and the other little guineas around but since the mother has deserted the flock, the freak fowl is apparently at a loss to know just where it belongs. Some times it will follow the guineas and other times it' will go to roost with the chickens in the hen house. Evidently the natural instinct of both chicken and guinea dominate its idea of living.

The fowl is believed to be a cross between a buff rock rooster and a guinea hen. So far as we know, such cases are very rare. L. D. THOMPSON TO SPEAK HERE Members of the Marion County Republican Central Committee announce that L.

W. Head building, one block south of our present location, and opposite the Merchants' hotel, we are compelled this week to reduce late news items to the best possible minimum.

As we stated last week we are moving, our equipment in two units, and we will be able to take care of all our job work during the time in which we are making the move. One unit will be running on the new floor before the second unit is dismantled. on At a meeting of the Marion county court here Monday, the court approved an application to the district WPA office in Hannibal for some improvements on river road, north of Hannibal, from the Wabash bridge to farm-to-market route B. The judges, in approving the application, stat ed that the road was in bad shape and that a rebuilding of it would be very beneficial to farmers and others.

They said that the im provement of the road would make a fine winter project as most of it was rock excavation that could easily be done during the winter months of the year. The plans call for the widening of the road and improving the bed. During recent years this road has had little or no work. It is one of the senic highways of the county and some substantial repairs on it would be beneficial as well as provide some work. The September report of H.
