Show Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Malt Cropper, big rodeo and cowman of Deseret, is seriousiy considering taking a strenuous reducing re-ducing program ,or at least getting in better shape when he plays nursemaid to a calf. It seems that Matt found that one of his cows wouldn't let the new call answer the dinner bell, and would not even let it get close to her. Matt figured 'that the calf had better have a little nourishment nour-ishment and so rigged up a bottle and large nipple, m wnicn ne made a large hole because he figured fig-ured the calf was extra hungry. Walking out in the field and making mooing noises to bring the calf aroused a formerly hidden interest in-terest that the cow had for her calf, and we find the cow and Matt eyeing each other rather sternly. The cow decided it didn't like the way wore his Levis and I so took after him. , Matt, 'for an old man, did right well for some distance but the cow was breathing breath-ing right down his neck as he slogged along whipping the bottle about and if the nipple hadn't had ' such a large hole in it Matt would have met disaster. But the cow slipped on the spilled milk and Matt gained the fence where he spent some time catching his breath and deciding on a new course of procedure. He harkened back to his rodeo days and figured he could still throw a nasty loop, which he did, and soon had the cow tied fore and aft to two posts with the calf merrily catching up on some long awaited for food. At present the cow and calf are pals, hut it is not known how long this condition will last. Matt is practicing roping and is now pushing away from the table a little before he 'is full.

So he took his mare over to Carlile Johansen who had a papa horse, having learned of the bees and birds, and let nature take its course. Just three days later he went out in the corral and there was 3 his mare with a nice new colt, jj which caused much happiness for Duane, and much surprise to Carlile. Car-lile.

Now I guess some California guy will write saying that down there it only takes two days, on which we will sprinkle a small dose of salt, knowing Caifornia people. Grief and lamenting cast a somber som-ber note into the generally joyous air of one of the local pool em- I poriums the other night .It all came about when one Paul Russell came about minus his shiny new store teeth. It seems that Mr. Russell was quietly taking on some suds, and doing right well at it, when in the course of the evening a visit to the men's room became the first order of business, and was of vital importance. He went back to the room and . was overcome with nausea, and inadvertently flushed the toilet before he noticed that he was not aible to say his S's plainly. Some quick thinking on his part proved that some how or other his teeth had gotten into the toilet and somehow or other they had been flushed down the drain. Mr. Russell was soon making frantic appeals to Vernon Anderson Ander-son to bring some gadget' that would go down the drain and snatch his teeth back. He and Mr. Anderson spent quite some time probing about in the depths of the drain with long rods and the like, and finally took the toilet off from its moorings and probed even ev-en further. The last time they reached down the drain with their gadgets they figured that they had explored the sewer line clear to Fourth South and still were not able to retrieve the teeth, and so they gave it up and now Mr. Russell as getting a new pair fitted and he intends to tie a string on them like they do children's child-ren's mittens so that they won't get lost again, if and when Mr. Russell goes back to his sudsing. Well, they fired the rainmakers, but thines are still badly crossed up around here. The weatherman says sunshine and it rains, and they say rain and it rains, so we are getting a nice wetting down most of the time. Maybe they had better re-hire the rainmakers to put an end to this, because if we tried hard for rain it would up and spite us and we would be blowing away in the drouth. Toots. |
