Show (Chatter Box Conditions seem to keep the cattlemen in a constant iLU.e 0l j.Lters. not lung age the wu.-a was Drought in that vast ..u.aes oi cauie were bogged down n old Sevier lake, which on investigation in-vestigation proved to be large weeds; that had blown out into the lake. But this time it was different. dif-ferent. Head- hide and insides ox an animal were found near the ughway where some rustler had eviscerated a beef and taken the beef away. When the news of this foul deed reached the cattlemen you would have thought the cattle were now worth something the way they acted about it. Law officials were hastily summoned and a complete investigation started so as to run down the culprit and either the law could take over or the cattlemen cattle-men would by hanging same culprit cul-prit to a tree, or at least a tall greasewood. The case ran on for several days as leads were chased down and clues eliminated or enlarged until finally these facts were out in the light: It boiled down to the fact that Sherm Talbot was the rustler, only on-ly he was sort of a legal rustler because he was working on his own cattle. Sherm went out into" the hills to bring in some of his critters and as he was loading them in a truck came upon one that was not broke to lead very good. It required a harder pull and said pull bunged the animal's eyes out so that it had a very unhealthy appearance. Sherm decided de-cided that rather than have a homely cow in his herd he would do away with same and salvage what he could for table use. This he did right by the side of the road and this was the "rustler" who upset the cattlemen. Tom Judd, loca lpurveyor of joy water, was a lost soul came this past Tuesday when the liquor store was closed down on account of the Primary election. Tom paced pac-ed the streets, drank coffee and sat' on the sidewalk in front of Joe Mercer's store. AH this time Bessie was working. She was one of the judges at the Primary voting vot-ing booth. Came nightfall a grateful and relieved Tom gathered up Bessie and the two went home where Tom could get his rest from an arduous and tirine dav he had Dut jump up ond down and count one, two, three, four. Trie fathers think that they have wasted a -lot of time and money educating their sons when they start counting in high school. The fathers are just old-fashioned enough to think that the boys should have learned to count away back in the first grade. The whole system is wrong. They should call various types of work football, basketball, marbles tennis and ping pong and maybe then the work would get done in time anyway. If the saying is true that the early bird gets the worm the Delta Rabbits will soon be in the fish bait business. Toots. in. Also he needed his rest for the day that was soon to come. Days the liquor store is open Tom paces the streets, drinks coffee cof-fee and sits on the sidewalk in front of Joe Mercer's store while Bessie works. Not at the Primary voting booth, ' but at the liquor store this time. It proves the old story that on a holiday a postman post-man takes a long walk, and Tom followed the custom to a "T". Fathers are going a wait upon one Bruce Osborne, coach at Delta high school and see if they can get a leaf out of his book. Bruce has something that the fathers want and want bad. It seems that somehow or other Bruce has been able to get the aspirants for the football team up early in the morning, around six a.m. and have them take a workout on the playing play-ing field. The fathers are wanting want-ing to get the formula for getting the boys out of bed to do a little of something around the homestead home-stead on off moments. Fathers aren't terribly football minded and most of them know little or care less about the game, so they can't see why their son9 have to don helmets and foot ball outfits to work in when they could get the same exercise palling pall-ing a cow, or tossing a bit of hay to the bull.
