Here's a real "Believe It Or Not" in Kosciusko County. Sam Meade Jr., 14, of Sidney, found a 1-day old baby chick which has four legs while "de-beaking" for Robert Merkle, of southeast of Claypool. Merkle said this is the first four-legged chicken he has seen out of 1 million hatched. Sam is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Meade.

The Warsaw unit of the Indiana Poultry Co-Op Inc. has just received information from their sales office in New York that government-grade eggs shipped from Warsaw, July 30, have been sold for as high as 25 cents per dozen.
