357th Tff Wos 'Just Perfect'

The 357th Terrible Twenty tournament was held at San Gabriel Country Club, February 17. George Gartz ran the af fair; he ran it perfectly. This remark is just courtesy to George-he wasn't responsible for the perfect weather, the beautifully kept course, the good caddies, the friendly spirit of the employes, the comfortable club house, and the deliciously flavored tender steaks. Carsten Woll and Dr. Sorey tied for low net, 76-8-68 and 84-16-68, and will play it of f this month. Osgood and Bowen won their matches in the upper bracket, and Berger and Sorey in the lower bracket, and will play the finals of the second six months match play tournament this month.

Doug Disney's cut toe prevents him from playing golf and he has requested a year's suspended membership. This was approved by the members. Torn Fleming was appointed to thr: board of directors to replace him, with the thought that l-re could do some work for the club in payment of all the silverware he has won in the past year or so.

Our next tournament is at Annandale, Tuesday, March 20, with Tom Fleming doing the work. He has threatened to wear his. pink pants, so bring your dark glasses.-H. M. Alling.

Deoler Aid on rGqrden Redwood'

"Garden Redwood from California" is the theme of a new promotional campaign of the California Redwood Association, which gets under way this month with the distribution of an attractive mailing piece to dealers of redwood throughout the country. This brochure, detailing the story of the growing trend to "Outdoor Living"-which had its inception in California-offers window streamers, display cards, envelope stuffers, newspaper ad mats, informative data sheets, and a new l6-page boolilet, "Garden Ideas from California," with many illustrations in full color as a means of selling the grades for the jobs it can do best. Garden Redrvood is not a new grade, but a further definition of the CRA grades which are best suited to use in garden structures. California dealers have now learned that this is a prime market for the "Construction" ancl "Shop" grades.

We Bet on the Fishing

Old Zeph Dorgan sat on a log near the bridge one Sunday morning, casting anxious glances at an uncertain sky. His willow fish-pole and can of bait lay a't his feet. Before he had quite decided on the weather, the minister came by, having taken a short cut owing to the fear of a sudden shower.

"Well, brother Zeph," he said, "Is yo gwine to chu'ch or is yo' gwine fishin'?"

"Ah dunno yit," replied Zeph, "Ah'm jest a-wrastlin'wif ma conscience."

A lllemory System

Forget each kind,ness that you do, As soon as you have done it; Forget the praise that falls on you, The moment you have won it; Forget the slander that you hear, Before you can repeat it; Forget each slight, each spite, each sneer, Wherever you may meet it.

Remember every kindness done To you, whate'er its measure;

Remember praise by others won, And pass it on with pleasure;

Remember every promise made, And keep it to the letter;

Remember those who lend you aid, And be a grateful debtor.

Youthful Ambish

"Jimmie," said the teacher, "What is your greatest ambition ?"

Jimmie considered thoughtfully.

"I think," he said, "it is to wash mother's ears."

The Truly Poor Mqn

A Man is poor when he gets out of tune with his environments, when his friends have lost confidence in him, when he has but dark pictures qn the walls of his inner life, when his character is diseased and dishonest tricks of evasion dominate his heart and soul. He is indeed poor when he puts something over on his friends at the expense of his character, when the Golden Rule ceases to direct his thoughts and his everyday actions. When a man's character is spotted by dirty tricks of his own conceivingi, he is facing the most abject poverty. A man is not necessarily poor because he has little of this world's possessions. If he maintains his integrity, keeps his character unblemished and square to the world, he is not poor, even though hunger is staring him in the face and he has no place to lay his head.

-Frank McDonnell.

A Turtle

I'd like to be a turtle. A lazy, lousy turtle, With nothing in the world to do But lay around the whole day through, To sit upon a mossy 1og, And gossip idly with a frog, To dwell amid the rushes cool, Or swim a little in a pool, To know no martter what befell, I simply crawl into my shell And let the whole world go to hellI'd love to be a turtle.

Sqlesmonship Plus

"Did you ever have any real exciting experience?" I asked a traveling salesman.

"About twenty years ago," he replied, "I was ordered out of Wyoming by a notorious two-gun badman who didn't like the suit of clothes I wore."

"Well, I suppose you lost no time in getting away?"

"No, sir. I bought him a couple of drinks and then sold him the suit."

The Difference When Ma Is Sick

When Ma is sick, she pegs away; She's quiet, though, not much to say; She goes right on a-doin' things, And sometimes laughs, or even sings. She says she do,n't feel extra well, But then it's just a kind o' sPell. She'll be alright tomorrow, sure, A good sleep will be the cure.

An' Pa he sniffs an' makes no kick, For women folks is always sick.

An' Mag she smiles, lets on she's gladWhen Ma is sick it,,hin't so bad.

When Pa Is Sick

When Par is sick he's scared to death, An' Ma an' us just holds our breath; He crawls in bed, and puffs and grunts, And does all kinds of crazy stu,nts, FIe wants "Doc" Brown, an'mighty quick, For when Pa's ill he's awful sick.

He gasps an' groans, an' sort o' sighs, He talks so queer, ar{ rolls his eyes, Ma jumps an' runs, an' all of us, An' all the house is in a fuss.

An' peace an' joy is mighty skeerceWhen Pa is sick it's something fierce. _Exchange
