Crow Eggs Puzzle and Hawk Bounty Draws Local Buzz
Auditor Davis ponders crow egg value while officials in Indianapolis cannot confirm the price. Local folks joke about ornithology as a department might study eggs. A hawk head reward of fifty cents and ten cents per crow head inspires hunting talk. Judge Darrow boasts rye yield, frost worries dot nearby fields, and Brook hosts its first regular Band Concert of summer with a large crowd. Orvil McCabe returns from Champaign University and Mrs. Bishopp visits while art work moves for the State Highway Commission.
