SO4 Pine Ave, Long Beach, Cali
fornia, February 8, 1920.
MI II. r. Springer:
Friend Mike: | thought perhaps
you might like to know something
OF what we arc doing out here and
so | will write you a few lines. First.
about the climate. You know the
biggest asset OF southern California
is the climate. In every speech that
is made the orator never misses
talking about climate. And it is
fine Yesterday afternoon Doctor
and Mrs. FoXworthy and some other
we sat and talked with the doors
and windows open and no fire in
the house and were plenty warm.
Had 4 good rain Saturday mig hit and
everything looks green and very
sprinG-like today. Last Friday six
teen Leon people met at the beach
and had lunch together, then spent
the AFTERNOON on the beach together.
During he afternoon the bunch had
their pictures taken on the sand
Those present included Mr.. and Mrs.

a bunch, don't you think? On Sat
urday bunch Of us went swimming
in the bath house. The plunge is
filled with ocean water and is per-
flaps so by $50 feet and from three
to seven feet deep. When we can
get up enough courage we are going
for plunge out in the ocean. Lots
Of people go bathing in the surf
every day. Last week it was re-
ported that twelve-fOot shark had
been seen off the end Of the pier.
so l am still looking for that shark.
Oh. yes, I must tell you what
fine time | had deep sea fishing.
Every morning you may have
per, lines. hooks and bait furnished,
out they don't guarantee that you
will catch any fish. So Friday morn

pier ready to go There were %

niles and cruised around all day and
only six fish were caught all day.
The ocean was very rough that Gay

went out at $3.50 a. m. and were out
Until $3.50 p. m. The day was fine
md the ocean was calm and smooth:
We fished for deep sea fish until
about noon I caught two rock cod
at about $50 feet Some on the
boat who were experienced at the
business caught as many as thirty
1T depth of from 800 to 600 feet.
One lady on the boat had a fishing
pole and reel with 900 feet of line.
About one O'Clock we went farther

about fourteen miles. Then we
changed fishing tackle and fished

They're In Every Town.

The following bit of sarcasm now
going the rounds OF the press, is said
70 have appeared originally in a
Kansas weekly:
What we need in most every
community is more fellows who will
attend to other peoples business.
The other people are too careless Of
their business and overlook too
many points. Besides, they don't
mess affairs, anyhow. The fellows
who devote most OF their time to
other peoples business are more eff
ficient and can handle the other
mans business better than he can
handle it himself. They admit that
fact, so it must be SO. The fellow
who never had d bank account can
give the bank president all kinds of
pointers on how 10 improve his bus
mess. Then there is the man who
can tell the minister just how to
preach and how to manage his flock.
Very few editors know how to run
their papers but the fellow who has
been in a printing office but three
times in his life knows all about it.
All towns would be better if they had
more buttinskys on the job. Just
because a man is successful is no
sign he knows how to run. his own
business 1T Is paying JOD, 100
this thing Of running other peoples
business
That is a fine bit of sarcasm. and
yet it is directed at a class that ex-
lists in practically every town in this
country. Not because the town well
comes them, for it doesn't But
seemingly because most people are
too kind at heart to do injury to
earth's greatest fool-tne man who
is always trying to tell people how.
