Three apartment buildings, one 26 stories high, the other two 17 stories high, will be constructed. A fourth building, a two-story commercial and office building complete with a two-level underground garage with parking facilities for 814 tenant automobiles, will complete the complex.

B. C. Deane Co., owner and developer of the project, said the total valuation will be more than $18 million. Construction was to begin early in July. Johnson, Drake & Piper, Inc.; M. J. Brock & Sons, Inc., and B. C. Deane Co. will collaborate in construction.

Joe Aimar, former operator of Aimar Lumber Company, Fresno, was recently appointed manager of Burnett & Sons Lumber Co. at Tulare.

He Wqs Green Indeed

"Who comes there?" challenged the recruit sentry. "The officer of the day," came the prompt reply. "'Well," queried the green one, "what the heck are you doing out at night?"

A Prcyer for Home

God bless our little home, To come back to when we roam. Low walls and fluted tiles, Wide windows, view for miles. Red firelight and deep chairs, Small white bed upstairs; Great talk in little nooks, Dim colors, rows of books, One picture on each wallNot many things at all.

God bless our little ground, Tall trees standing round. Homely flowers in brown sod, Overhead thy stars, O God. God bless, when winds blow, Our home, and all we know.

Bone.

"They are well-matched, don't you think?" said one wedding guest to another.

"Perfectly," was the reply, "she's a grass widow, and he's a vegetarian."

The Need of Americq

The need of America is not for men who can lift blocks of marble to the fortieth story of some great ofEce building, but for men who will lift the level of character-not men who dot the seas with the white sails of commerce, but for men who in their everyday living exemplify those homely virtues, those old-fashioned verities which, in the last analysis, alone can bring happiness into the life of the individual or build perpetuity in our civilization. In the minds of, alas, too many people, the modern hero, the successful man, is the one who in a single year can make one-hundredthousand coats or five-million hose, or make money hand over fist. The time has come when we must understand as never before that there is an everlasting difference between making a living and making a life.

Husband: "I certainly miss the old cuspidor, now that it's gone."

Wife: "That's why it's gone. You used to miss it so often."

What is a friend?

I will tell you.

A Friend

It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself.

Your soul can go naked with him.

f{e seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be as you are.

He does not want you to be better or worse.

When you are with him, you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent.

You do not have to be on your guard. You can say as you think, so long as it is genuinely you.

lle understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you. With him you breathe free.

You can avow your little vanities, and envies, and hates, and vicious sparks, your meanness and absurdities and, in opening them up to him, they are lost, dissolved in the white ocean of his loyalty. He understands.

You do not have to be careful.

You can abuse him, neglect him, tolerate him.

Best of all, you can keep still with him. It makes no matter. He likes you.

He is like fire that purges all you do.

He is like water that cleanses all that you say.

He is like wine that warms you to the bone. stands. He understands.

You can weep with him, laugh with him, sin pray with him.'

Through, and underneath it all, he sees, knows, and loves you.

A friend, I repeat, is one with whom yourself.

He underwith him, you dare to be
