Where did the cow get her food? The Northmen were ready with an answer to that question. They said she licked up hoar frost with salt in it. That must have been a pretty poor diet, but the cow got along as well as she could. When the cow licked frost from a certain spot, a strange thing hap- | pened. Hair like that of a man came into view. TRen the head appeared, and finally the whole body of a per- son. This person was the first god. He married a daughter of Ymir: They had a son who was also a god, | BROCKVILLE RE-ELECTS MAYOR There Were Some Lively Contests In The River Town.
