little after. 1t is better to be 10 or Is
early than to be three minutes late
Patrons owe it to themselves and to
each other and to the management to
see that each patron gets all possible
profit and pleasure from every num-
ber of the course and not be annoyed
by the confusion caused by tardy ar
rivals
Quite a lot of interest has been
aroused as to the meaning of the

pl-S
Tut. tut, You are both wrong.
Life is the biggest and best thing
you have ever known; too big for pet
ty JealOuSieS and too good to be spent
in cOWardly jabS at your neighbor If
you can't have Ford, try a wheel
barrow. Moreover, life is too short to
be wasted in needless pickering and
buking the wind. You'd better be a
pair of old geezers with youthful
spirits than to wear raven ringfetS
and perpetual crouch, and inally
die of chronic mulligrubS. Now then,
81 and Simpy, see If you can't get
your faces on straight and be good
for awhile, both of you-Uncle Heck.
How do you pronounce the name of
the building in which autos are kept?
Do YOU say ''gerahZh', like toad
eater, or DO you pronounce it gay
rodg'', like mongrel. Perhaps you
make garage" rhyme with carriage,
as good American would speak it.
Just imagine how it would sound to
hear someone say 1.-The bridal party
rode in carrodg TO the Congrega-
tional parsonahzh, where the marrodg
ceremony took place" Why is it we
a mericans can't be satisfied to speak
good old United States?
1t is an old saying that you never
miss the water until the well runs
dry. Neither do we miss the electric
light until the Juice supply is cut
short and then, If you are an old
timer, you may be reminded of your
tallow candle days; the ball of candle
wicking, the candle moulds, the can
die stick and SnufferS. Perhaps you
are treasuring some of these old-fash-
ioned articles as precious heirlooms,
and yet you would not choose a tai
low dip for your reading table.
Speaking of old time lighting ap-
paratuS, the writer of this paragraph
remembers the first kerosene lamp
used in his fathers house. Even yet
he remembers with what prudent
care the lamp was filed, and the row
of youngsters standing on the farther
side of the room when the lamp was
first lit lest the wicked thing might
explode.
1t seems to be a trait of human
nature to want TO be advised to do.
and then, after being advised TO do
the contrary, we just go ahead and
do it anyway. Seeking council only to
ignore it is a confession that we have
already determined on a doubtful
course, and a bid for support of a
questionable act and the wicked flee
whom no man perSueth. Yes, the
spiteful little flea that bites and then
vaniSheS.
