Show m- ' i - - - ui Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Ray Church is making quite a name for himself down on Lyman Row as a cleaner-upper and fire starter extraordinary. Ray has the clean up bug very bad and with the days all to himself up to the time he opens the show, he has plenty of time on his hands to do the cleaning. Of course, it isn't all beer and skittles with Ray, the neighbors and the fire department. The people who dwell in that suburb watch for Ray to leave his house and the minute he reaches in his pocket for a match they all sturt phoning for the fire lads. Ray just can't keep away from starting fires and has had some mighty close calls. He tries to confine his fires to weeds and trash, but there have been corrals, sheds, and various var-ious outbuildings that have come close to joining his clean-up campaign, cam-paign, even against the will of the rightful owners. Property owners there are hopeful hope-ful of an early spring so that the new weeds will grow and cover up the old ones Ray is so intent on burning. Of course a strong rain would dampen down things, but we are having such a hard time getting Spring underway that to wish for a rainstorm would be to invite snow, blizzards, and freezing freez-ing weather again. So they might as well let good enough alone, and let Ray go on with his cleaning up. Dewey Sanford must have had quite a sale last week from the reports re-ports I can gather. They were peddling ped-dling cattle so fast that the stock was going through the ring on the dead lope and the buyers only got a glimpse of the beasts before they left the ring. Mark Paxton, Republican Repub-lican state representative was over from Fillmore watching the sale. He nodded to all the Republicans on the West Side and by nodding bought three carloads of cattle. It is a good thing that there are only three Republicans around here or Mark would have been stuck with more cattle. The buying got so furious at times that when one buyer sneezed it upped the price 5c a pound. Another An-other buyer reached down on the floor to pick up his pencil he had ! dropped and missed out on three ' carloads of cattle that had gone through the ring in that short time. Dewey was going around grinning grin-ning so hard that his lips were i meeting on the back of his head. He is even so optomistic that he has started buying hogs again. He had better, because if they are going go-ing to ship all these cattle out we will have to have some kind of meat to eat. It could be that Spring is here, but just consider it an idle rumor until it is proved, Toots. HINCKLEY D. TJ. P.
