Interest in the west Texas tradi- tion that the toads are capable of hibernating for 100 years was re- vived when the courthouse was or- dered razed. Wi.en workmen had torn down all of the structure ex- cept the foundation, Judge Pritchard ‘was summoned to head the witnesses invited to the “resurrection.” The judge took charge of the rep- tile. He said it appeared ‘> be dead, | 4 but within a short time its eyes opened. Then it began to breathe. Examination showed th. toad ap- parently was normal, except it seemedunabletoopen its mouth. The reptile was taken to police head- quarters where it was viewed b: scores of persons yesterday. As it refused , expert advise was sought as to whether its mouth was sealed. If so, an operation was planned. z County officials said the toad would be kept in confinement as long as it lives. One leg showed slight indication of emaciation. The mouth was sealed by a film and the eyes’ were closed when the toad was removed from its prison. The frog had not been seen to take any nourishment this morning. Placed on display in the window of a drug store, it had been viewed by more than 10,000 persons. Horner Is Suggested.

But, where one’s income is restricted, a more economical method must be found, even though it be somewhat in the nature of an experiment or at best merely a transitory solution.” First Experiment Inasmuch as th: heaviest traffic in the state is found in the extreme eastern portion, especially in Cass county, the department decided upon highway No. 10 as the road for the first experiment, the article states. The program of surface oil treat- ment was begun in a small way on this road.
