Show Provo Banquets Pride of Iron County Wednesday evening the peoplo of Provo tend ered a right royal recepton to Alma Richards, champion high-jumper of the wfo)L.whQ..raturnod. tho day provios from Stockholm, Sweden, where ho establshed a now world's record in high-jump ing. ' ' Ho was hailed by the Provoites as tho44pride of tho"B. Y. U.".. and they paid him homage i by arranging great program of music and speaking. Wo are glad to see tho peoplo of our sister town showing so much prido in tho accomplishments accomplish-ments of Mr. Richards, but wo do object to the absence from tho program of any reference to the fact that he is a product of Iron county, and that tho particular place in this county from which he comes is Prowan. Tho peoplo of Iron county aro perfectly willing will-ing that their neighbors should make a great noise about Mr. Richards, inasmuch as they haye no real champion of their own, nnd we take this opportunity opportu-nity to expres to them the thanks of the peoplo of Iron county for their energies in royally receiving ono of our honored citizens. Wo do object, however, to tho Provo Post welcoming wel-coming Mr. Richards to his "homo town." But wo must expect somo singular statements from that source, for moro crazy peoplo to Provo go than to any other town in tho state. |
