Cot ' CI o, Entered as second class matter at the Postoffice at Delta, Utah, under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879 Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Mrs. Leslie Porter has been in town lately buying string so that she can tie it on Les' fingers to remind him of his errands, what he has left behind, and what he is to do. At the present time his fingers look as though he were con-tinually making cat's cradles. It all came about when Roger, Walker, bought a new tractor and Les heard about it. He drove down to Roger's to take a look at it and after spending quite a long time viewing the tractor, talking with Roger and later visiting with Mrs. Walker, walked home. That was in the morning, and so later in the day when he was to take a round of the North Tract to find out where Sherm and Lawrence were flooding the roads he couldn't find his car. He looked- - through all the sheds on his place, quizzed his wife as to who had borrowed the car, and then started out on foot looking here and there for it. He passed Roger's place several times in his search, 15ut failed to note the car as he had left it parked back of the house. After many hours of searching he and his wife sat down to review his actions during the preceding 24 hours to try and de-termine where he had taken the car and was there any possibility of him leaving it at one of those places. A check was made of his past movements and then they double checked and after tracking Les back through his maze of peregrin-ations the car was located at Wal-kers where it had been all the time. It is not known if Les ever .did check up on the watermasters, but it is supposed that he didn't get around to it that day. I have been wondering for a long time why the Boss has been going around yawning and looking as though he had lost many hours of sleep, and just lately found out the reason. It seems that Marv Moody and Lafe Morley had a ship-ment of turkeys coming in on a plane one morning and thought that a picture would be good to have a complete record of their buying. So in the very early hours of the morning Lafe called the Boss and wanted him to come up to the airport and bust them as they were unloading the poults. Well, to call the Boss before 9:30 a. m. is downright heresy and one takes ones life in one's hands when one does same. Anyway Lafe got Wanda out of bed, and with much coaxing and pulling of covers she got Fuzz out of bed to go take the picture. He got up there when the sun was just rising and marvel-ed at same as he thought the sun always came up almost overhead every morning and that someone just turned it on. Well, the picture was taken and was pretty good only that it had Marve in it instead of Marie, as anyone knows Marie does the work while Marve leads the life of a country gentleman. All Marve will ever do about those turkeys will meet them when they come in by plane and then deposit the check for them this fall in his account, while Marie slaves her fingers to. the bone raising those turks. Of course, Fuzz knows that Lafe and either Marve or Marie will make it right with him this fall and see that he founders on turkey meat to make up for his early ris-ing, but they will have a job on their hands foundering him on that kind of meat, because I have heard rumors that Fuzz can eat a 14 pound turkey at one sitting. He looks as though he could, anyway. Well, I suppose I will be like the other mothers around here expect something nice and get an axe so I can cut the wood bet-ter while the Old Man sleeps.

The post mistress, Zella Lovell, talked to us. First they stamp the letters. The stamp cancels the postage stamps and tells the date and the office. The letters cost 3c for each ounce, big letters cost more. The register-ed letters have a little slip and every postman who handles the letters must sign the slip. Register-ed letters are seldom lost. Special Delivery letters cost 13c for that stamp and are delivered at once. Parcels must be wrapped carefully. Then they are weighed and the postage figured to where they are going. The letters are tied together and put into the first class mail bag and locked. The parcel post is put into other bags and locked. The mail must go through and Uncle Sam see's that it does. ' |
