According to the members of the
OSkalooss Country Club. California
weather has nothing "on" Iowa wealth
or. Fifteen people were on the links
playing golf yesterday and in fact
there has not been a week passed so
far this winter that there has not
been several players out. Some of the
best scores that have been made on
tn local links have been made during
the last month. This is going some.
Hereafter If the people in California
want some good place to spend the
winter they had better come to Iowa.
