The weath er turned hot as blazes just about the same time the bush growers contest got underway, and the combination proved the undoing for some of the faint hearted—along with the hen pecked—causing them to resume shaving after a day or two. However, there are the rudi ments of some starting facial foliage to be seen on some of the familiar mugs - about - town. Quite a number of fellows have not decided just what kind of adornment they are going in for and are just letting nature take its course until they make up their minds. The results, in some cases, are astounding; and in others, not even notice able. Dick Mallory, at the House Chevrolet Company, has about the best start on a full bear seen so far. Ben Liverman is going in for goatee chin whiskers; James Boyce for some fancy sideburns; several are sprout ing small mustaches that may develop into handlebars later; and one or two are threaten ing to break out with mutton chops and Vandykes. Menfolk in town who are not growing whiskers of one kind or another are being threaten ed with all kinds of dire pen alties. It is known that a fra ternity paddle or two are being held in reserve to await action by the kangaroo court which will convene here just before the celebration; and there are some mighty wicked boys drool ing for a chance to use them. From here, it looks like a most interesting summer. Appoint Committees For Fall Celebration !
