But I notice that they do not tell me any of this stuff when their wives are almost makes me believe that they may be right I'd like to be out fishing Monday Clarence Hunter, improbable as it may seem, invited me into drug store to have a drink, making the provision before we went in that it was not to cost more than a nickel. After we were planted in front of the counter Clarence took advantage of the occasion to bawl me out and abuse me, just because TEN YEARS AGO Dr. W.

P. Magan has just started the construction of a $20,000 home in the San Jose hills, south of Co- TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Along some babbling sylvan stream, he was buying me a drink. After Where the sunlight thru the treetops Throws a sparkling, rippling gleam, Where the trout are jumping After bugs that come too near, Where the cares of city madness Fade away and disappear. I'd like to feel the quiet Of some haunt afar from men, Just to know again the silence Of some tree-enshrouded glen, about so much of this I turned to jucille and asked her if she allowed ler friends to be talked to like that and, with her usual snappy come- jack, she replied, "Uncle Billy, Mr. Wahl has taught us to remember hat the customer is always right." Where the mystifying night-sounds Lull to deep and restful sleep, Where the night hawk and the hoot- owl Their secret vigils keep.

There's something sort of soothing wading in a stream, Helps you cast aside your worries, Makes you want to stop and dream; True, the fish may not be biting And you return with empty creel, But it's surely worth the effort In the way it makes you feel. E. W. It's funny that so many of these attack stories start off with, "I had spent the evening in a cocktail lounge." A couple of weeks ago Dot, in her Town-Chatter, had me taking the fatal the fifteenth, but the Roy Hughes is learning that it pays to advertise. A couple of weeks ago he advertised spraying for 60c a hundred, using only his telephone number, and the Argus was harly off the press before he was answering calls.

ED HENDERSON GETS MY FLOWERS It was on the seventh of June that a monster rock fell down the mountainside in San Gabriel canyon and crushed the left leg of friend Ed Henderson, who was working on the big earth-fill dam.

He was rushed to the Golden State hospital in Los Angeles and for a time it was thought that he would lose his leg, but the best of medical care kept that from happening. During the weeks since he has been confined to the hospital, with his leg in a cast and his foot suspended in the air, and at times suf- ering intense pain, Ed's true disposition has been shown. Very seldom sick before, always having a pleasant word for those about him, he has carried the same sunny disposition to the hospital, making caring for him a pleasure to the nurses and hospital attendants. Naturally he worries, especially about his wife, who is left alone in Covina, and about the weeks that he will still be confined to the hospital and unable to be about his work, but he has tried to keep these worries to himself, thinking always of others. Ed has a lot of friends in Covina and his misfortune and the way he 1 isrtaKiEg'it hmTa 'lofmu're.

Kepple Talks at Rotary Club Assemblyman Gerald Kepple, representing this, the fiftieth district, in the state legislature, whose home is in Whittier, was the speaker before Covina Rotary club yesterday noon in Oddfellows hall.
