I don't know if this would be considered 'Off Topic' -- or not -- since it was printed in the Decatur County Journal... Nancee ---------------------------------------------------------- Decatur County Journal Leon, Iowa March 11, 1920 According to the Greentop, Mo., Booster, a hog can live a long time without food or drink. It has the following item concerning one that disappeared last fall when Walter Dyer, thrashed his wheat. Search was made but no trace of it could be found. It was considerable of a mystery but Dyer was too busy to devote much time to solving it. It seems he was making a straw shed for some of his stock to winter in and before it was finished the roof fell in and he abandoned the work. In clearing away the straw imagine his amazement when he beheld a long, thin, skeleton-like hog drag itself from beneath the pile. A close inspection revealed the undeniable fact that the hungry porker was the one he had lost last fall. The hog was little more than skin and bones. Dyer is sure the hog will regain its lost weight and be ripe for slaughter long before fall.
