Another Use for R Months Use for R in Oysters
A clipped item notes various sayings about the letter R and mentions oysters, the word inertia and a humorous aside about months in a minstrel manner. The fragment suggests linguistic play rather than a clear event or report.
Unclear fragment cites mothers and months with J C Hagens
Fragment mentions codliver oil and mothers with a timing note in the same months, not directed at the oyster MRS J C Hagens, but the sentence is incomplete and lacks clear event or subject details. The readable content is too fragmentary to establish a full news item or outcome.
