Each head must be fed normally. AMITY—(UP)— Mrs. Mattie Hess picked up a kitten. Its mother ferociously attacked her. She received medical attention in a local hospital for the bite. VALE—(UP)—Broken ribs be came almost a communicable af fliction here one day recently. E. E. Locey reported a broken rib from an auto collision, C. B.
