Too much notoriety ofttimes makes a hero out of a hobo and a hobo out of a hero. If you must fight, choose a foe who is capable of making the bout interesting.

We are told that the password to some of Ogdens exclusive soft drink parlors during the woolmena convention is "bah. We asked an Ogden cop about it, and he answer ed in a disgusted voice, "Bah! As a aide issue to the Nations' Wool growers convention, a free sheep show is being conducted one-ha-lf clock south of the Hotel Bigelow, in the building recently vacated by the Hinckley Auto company. Some of the greatest champions o various breeds of sheep are being shown. Hickmans attorneys are continuing to jockey for position, and are ac- cumulating a vast amount of de; ositions to prove that the whol Hickman clan is bughouse.
