through the corner of ot his mouth It reminds one of his Foreign Legion days when death was considered a pleasure Other notables were there including the Mayor and Timberline Smith to say nothing of

TONIC Five men of this company have copied other animal life and shed their hair in lieu of approaching spring It would be indeed rous should Old Man Winter Vinter favor favor favor or us with more snow and wind at this critical period There probably probably probably ably would not be enough hats in camp to warm those barren grounds c C c SHE H ROUND GO The most charitable touch on onearth onearth onearth earth is to be found in our kitchen kit kit- chen A few days ago Frank Keller Koller following the noon meal made representations that he had no dinner This disturbing news did not reach the Mayors Mayor's ears cars until supper was over The Mess Officer showed up at the critical time and Frank had to hie to the coal shed However his forty- forty seven minute hideout vas was generously generously generously gener gener- rewarded with dainty salman salman salman sal- sal man sandwich from one of Libby's Lib Lib- bys by's beautiful red cans A special dinner was tendered by the local Veterans' Veterans Club to their departing brother Bill Royle The usual truths were vere recounted Enemy casualties were accurately tabulated and the captured territories territories

reason reason why he should I Ibo bo be allowed to hog the head headlines headlines ines I It was rather discomforting news to us boys to discover that the Utah State Legislature had made the liquor permits non- non transferable Some few of us had heard of friends out in the world that had fallen by the wayside and an Easter thought presented itself in the nature of one of these permits as a n gift However since the permit transfer Is not per per- we at least find consolation consolation consolation consol consol- in the assurance that if we ever camo came into possession of the beverage we may be allowed to forward it on on It is to be hoped the printers will speed the presses so that this warm wann anticipation may b become a reality following this twenty years of drouth |
