Cobb will conclude a in round York and return, every foot of it in an ox cart, when. he drives his faith- ful “Oscar the Ox” into the wa-j ters of Silver Springs Sunday afternoon for what Cobb terms “a long drink he’s been waiting for a long, long time”.

Cobb wasn’t told of the cele- bration that’s been planned for him by the home folks. The mayor and other city officials from nearby Ocala will greet him, and there'll be movie news reelers, press cameramen and even a band awaiting him at ilver Springs. The celebration will remind him of the big reception staged for him when he arrived at the New York World’s. Fair, where he was king for a day, and shared the limelight many days there after with numerous other Personalities.
