Postpone Sale Peterson Bros, of Ogden Utah have postponed their sale until March 25. This was done for the convenience of the many ranchers who have been snowbound during the winter months, and who be-cause of the roads conditions and the effects of winter, were unable to attend a an earlier date. The Petersons are grooming 85 of their choice Hereford cattle that have been held especially for this sale. An early selection was made and the cattle were held for this occasion with the intention of build ing confidence among the ranchers that too Quality could be obtained at their annual sale. The new sales pavilion has been completed and will acommodate 600 people. Colonel H. B. Sager of Boseman, Montana and Howard Brown of Kansas City, Mo., will auction the cattle. They will be assisted by Forrest Bassford of the Western Livestock Journal, Los Angeles; Frank Japhet, of the Record Stock-man, Denver; Merlin Clark of the Utah Farmer; Hy Mackey of the Omaha Journal Stockman, and Aly-so- n Smith of the Pacific Stockman, San Francisco.

Beckwith, Business Manager Entered as second class matter at the Postoffice at Delta, Utah, under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879 Mr. and Mrs. A. W.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bishop and two daughters visited in Delta Sun-day with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Avery Bishop. Oasis Mrs. La Veda Bishop It seems that a big part of the population of Oasis were Salt Lake visitors last week. I guess they all shopped at Kresses, cause every-body saw everybody, and that is the most likely gathering place I can think of. Among those at-tending the gathering were Mr. and Mrs. Grant Petersen of course Grant was about ready to come home he'd been up there a couple of weeks more or less getting his tonsils removed. And ' there was Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Skeems, they of been spending a second or third back home after accompanying her sister, Audrey, to her home in a little town in or near Bryce can-yon. Upon arriving home she and Floyd left immediately on this honeymoon trip to Salt Lake, so they could meet their neighbors. Then there was Mr. and Mrs. Ray Lovell. Ray got word that his brother, Max, who lives in Lark, had lost his home by fire, so he and his brother, Eldon, and their wives went up to see if they could help in any way. Mr. and Mrs.. Wash Roundy were up to take their little son, Paul, to the doctor. Mrs. Erma Skeem was up visit-ing with her daughter, Helen. As far as I know that bunch all got home fine but it seems there is a new group got the fever and gone up this week. Mrs. Enoch Gillen, her daughter, Wilma, and son Elmo, and Miss Chris Foster, went up Monday. Ralph Skeem and his mother, Betsy, also went on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Bishop and son, Jimmie, visited from Wednes-day night until Monday morning with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clark Bishop. They went back to Cedar City to finish the school year at the BAC. Howard Roundy is home after attending school the past quarter at the BAC in Cedar. He is im-patiently waiting for the spring so he can go to farming.

S. navy and after schooling at Memphis, Tenn., is returning to San Diego. Chatter Box Dear Suzy, There is somebody in Lynndyl by the name of "Aunt Ears," who wants to use the line so I guess I had better let her do that. She writes.: Dear Toots, You make a very good report to Suzy, in your letters, about the people close around Delta but I think you should tell her more about the people in Lynndyl, Learn ington and Oak City, because we have some characters too. Take Roy Nielson for instance, he runs a store in Lynndyl but he is one of the best engineers In this state. Since the weather has warmed up, the water has formed a nice little lake in front i of his store but that hasn't both- - ered Roy. In the evenings just as it starts to freeze he gets out in front of his store with a shovel and throws the water out of his little lake in such a manner that it freezes into an ice bank that slopes all directions toward his store. It is impossible for anyone ' to walk past his store before noon without sliding in and Hoy is al-- ways right at the door to open it j and grab the customers. The cus- - tomers are so surprised to find themselves in the store that Roy j is able to sell them almost any thing before they gain their wits. Three times last week I tried to ride past there in my car but every time I would silde right down to his gas pump and Roy would have my tank full of gas before I could tell him I didn't want any. I sure am glad that he is honest because if he 'wasn't he could put anything on your bill and you wouldn't know what it was. He writes like a blowlegged duck walks. Those fellows that are trying to translate the ancient should get Roy to help them because I have seen him some of his writing fully ten hours after he wrote it and anyone that can do that can read anything. Uncle Dud is hollerin' fo rsupper so I better get it. Yours truy, Aunt Ears, Now I am not sure that she is telling the truth and that is one thing I insist on in this coumn. In the first place when a Nielson goes into business all he has to do is get his relatives to trade with him and his fortune is made. Which Aunt Ears overlooks when she (I don't suppose she is a Nielson) says Roy is getting trade from outside the family circle. Too, the last time I was in Roy's joint he was very anxious not to sell me anything, but finally broke down after a lot of persuasion. Also, Aunt Ears speaks of Roy do-ing some work about his place of busines. If that is a fact, it is the first time he ever did. So hoping to hear from you again Aunt Ears, but tell the truth next time just like I always do. Orval Jeffery is planning on go-ing into a much easier type of business than he now engaged. He says the wear and tear on him aren't worth the candle. He relates a story to explain his point by telling of selling an automatic washer to Bill Hardy out in Hinck-ley. He got it sold to them, com-plete with down payment and a date set for delivery. Orval went ' over with it and put it in the base-ment ready to set it up ready for operation. Like all guys who work on appliances, he had left some of his most vital tools and parts at the store in Delta. So back he came for that. On returning to the Hardy home he arrived, just as the kids came home from school and so entered the house with them. Bill was tak-ing a nap and didn't see him come in and Mrs. Hardy was in another part of the house. Orval went down stairs to go about making the washer run, and the kids went in to see their mother about the washer and when it was coming. One said, "Mom, where the new washer" And Mom replied, "down in the basement, but if you go down there don't touch a thing or turn it on or you won't be able to sit down for a week." So the kids trai'psed off to the basement to see the washer and watched Orval doing his ork. Or-val soon had the baling wire put in the right places and so turned on the switch. Mrs. Hardy leaped six feet out of her chair, and made it down the steps in two bounds, waking up poor Bill who sat and listened to the forthcoming explos-ion, which he knew would not be long. Now Mrs. Hardy has a boy about Orval's size, and she seeing Orval bent over the machine grabbed him by one arm shouting, "You damned little fool, I told you not to turn on that washer." Whereupon she shook Orval until his glasses fell to the floor, and when she spied them realized that there was a possibility of her making a great mistake because her boy didn't wear glasses. The shaking became less violent, but not enough less for Orval to catch his breath and try to explain . . . Finally Mrs. Hardy slowed down enough to see Orval's face as he went past hers on each shake, and came to the conclusion that there had been a mistake in identity and she was shaking up the chief mechanic in-stead of her boy. Bill says Mrs. Hardy came up the steps without touching even one of them and got in a corner where she sat wringing her hands and talking to herself. She said, "Oh, what will I ever do now. Maybe Orval is mad, and will repossess the washer before I even get a chance to use it. Maybe I broke his glasses and will have to buy him another pair. Maybe Toots will hear about it." B'y this time Orval had hurried and shut off the washer and was wondering why they were so tight with their power to get so mad just when he wanted to give the washer a little whirl. He picked up his glasses, put them on, and climbed out of a window in the basement to get back to his store and comparative security. Instruct-ions on the washer were mailed by him to the Hardy's and he hopes that he never has to make any further trips there, especially if he has to turn on the washer. Dapper Leigh Maxfield, man the farms, popcarn popper extraordinary and a member of the snowed-i- n clan, had a rather trying incident come into and mar his life the other day. He and Horn er Petersen had returned from Salt Lake and Homer let Leigh out at the corner as Leigh was snowed in and had to walk home. This Leigh did and when he came to the bridge going into his place he tried to squeeze around his snowed-i- n car that was parked "there. He almost made it, but finally went down in the deep ditch which was filled with snow and when Leigh looked about he was up to his armpits in snow. After much maneuvering he got out and look-ed at himelf. His new suit was encrusted with snow his hands were dirty where he had tried to climb the steep bank and he had lost his hat. Always neat, Leigh went over to the water trough to clean him-self up a little before going in and confronting Lois. He leaned over the water trough and was washing his hands. He hadn't wat-ched too closely where he stepped on reaching the water trough, and as a cow had just taken a drink Leigh's footing was not too secure as a result of the cow. Lejgh lean-ed a little too far and completed a beautiful dive complete with a double jack-knif- e and back-fli- in to the tank. As a result Leigh was realy clean and so went into the house. He told Lois, when she asked him what had happened, "Well if you are going in you might as well go in all over." Which relates LIgh's philosophy of life, Toot's. Senor Beckwith Has Airmail From Argentina Dear Mr. Beckwith, Just received the Dec. 16, 23, and Jan. 6 and 13 issues of the Millard County Chronicle. I noticed, how-ever, that the addresses were a little confusing to the postmas be-cause they lacked the street num-ber and they made note of such. After the street "Call Virrey del Pino" please place the number 2120 on all further copies. Mother must have forgotten to have given you this number. Thanks so much. I hope that all of the snow has melted since the last report I re-ceived. I've been showing several pictures of it to friends and they hardly believe it. Only the most southern part of Argentina ever sees the snow. The winters here are much similar to those of Calif. The seasons are reversed, however, and right now we are entering in-to the phases of fall. The water-melon, fig, and grape crops are at their height. The last three days have been holidays celebrating the "Carnival" which is equivalent to Halloween in North America. They go in a little more for the street parades and costumes, something very similar to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. I telephoned home recently, and talked for over five minutes. The call cost me $61.50 pesos or an equivalent of about seven dollars. Reasonable enough.. I saw Elder Rex Tery not too long ago and we both should be coming back home at the end of the year. Thanks for the hometown news. Please make this one little change in the address, and I won't give you any more trouble. Sincerely, Elder Gordon Moody Calle Virrey del Pino 2120 Belgrano, Buenos Aires 26. Tlheo-- e fire MW25 - OF - - AND - Dm Tllis Aires) We Are Planning A Big Event For You Soon.
