JAMES L. HALL

PORTRAIT OF'AN ENEMY

His hate lunged at me with an eager sword, The bite of death upon its tempered blade; He loomed above my fear, an over-lord Whose fury brooked no mortal barricade; Defenses down, each moment now an age, I watched in fascinated calm, and saw His mighty arm uplifted high in rage; Against his,strength f knew no skill, no law.

And yet-was this a dream within a dream?During the very instant when I fell f saw his eyes'refected in the gleam Of his own steel; and only souls in hell Reveal such mad torment when fiends pursue, The stroke that cut me down had maimed him too.

-Elias

Citizenship

Good citizenship, like charity, begins at home. Let the good citizen support his family, keep his house and fence in repair, mow his lawn, trim his trees, mend his sidewalk, discipline his children, and pay his bills. ff he does less, he is not doing enough even though he is president of the local Neighborhood fmprovement Association and a deacon in the church.

"Take care of yourself" is noble advice. Take care of your family, take care of your house, and take care of ydur creditors. "The man who is diligent in his business will stand before kings," says the Bible. A man's first business is his familv. Let him look to his own afrairs and the communitv will be spared the burden of sendinq a policeman to notifv him tbat his children are heaving stones through the neiqhbors' windows.

The eloquence that tells us that every man owes an oblirration to his communitv, his profession. his lodee. his trade association. his club, and his wife's relations. is sound onoush. proVided the man has first put his personal affairs :- nrder.-Clipped.

Pioneer-Flintkote Catalog Now Ready for Distribution

One of the most complete and attractive roofing catalogs ever issued is now being distributed by the Pioneer-Flintkote Company from their offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Salt Lake City and Denver.

The new book contains 44 pages and is printed in four colors throughout, showing among other things, many shapes and styles of asphalt shingles in full color, the plates having been made direct from the shingles themselves, not from artists' d.rawings or colored photographs.

Other sections of the catalog illustrate and describe roll roofings, building and insulating papers, roofing asphalts, asphalt emulsions and miscellaneous roofing items. Nearly a dozen pages are devoted to description of manufacturing processes in the ZS-acre Pioneer-Flintkote Plant. There is much valuable information contained in the book, fgr example, a page which gives various methods of figuring roof areas, and other data of this type.

Harry J. Graham, director of sales of the Pioneer-Flintkote Company, states that nearly five months were devoted to the preparation of this book in order to make it as accurate and complete as possible. The catalog should fill a long felt want among architects, builders and roofing and lumber dealers throughout the west.

It is not intended for distribution to the general public. Copies will be delivered to dealers and other business and professional persons for whom it is intended, as rapidly as possible. This may take some time to accomplish, but a copy may be had immediately by writing or telephoning the nearest Pioneer-Flintkote office.

He expects to promote a professional team in Los Angeles.
