Piece of Elton John Plays Homegrown

$lizzard
Seriously. Last I heard, Knifey said the $lizzard is in Iceland. Is it sitting on some jack-a-ninny’s beer-box end table?

Duluth’s Homegrown Chicken Craze!
The first paragraph of the story above, from the April 27, 1902, Duluth News Tribune, might as well be about the Homegrown Music Festival, which represents itself with the chicken logo at left.
It is said that when the chicken raising microbe once enters the human system there is no known remedy — the victim must succumb to the inevitable. With some it is a fad and with others it is both business and pleasure but those belonging to the latter class are by far the more numerous.
