MiIIsap Gossip About Personalities
BY L. W. MILLSAP. Jr.

A-A--A-a@A "a yAt
general. 'sneaked' me the poem, and
bere it is:
/ Dear Leander
How you wander
In your yellow streak;
But whyineIl
You spell ''Personelle"
And make it such freakp
j like your idee-
It's neat and tidy,
And bristling with wit
A roll of reason
Is always in season
And should make hit.
Your nine EN-. measure
Is sure treasure
I'm here to declare,
But Lord help the ginks
Who set your thinks
Nine ems makes EN- swear.
Correct you are. They swore so
loud | had to decide on the unlucky
number of 3 ems for my >pi, but still
it babbles on like Tennyson's Brook.
Mrs B. has some old French re-
ceipts for combining garden herbs that
could be raised in Louisiana and put
on the market, and which | believe
would be good industry" She even
expects 40 land in L. A. some day.
She has a life times collection of
house plans and ideas for the inside
arrangement of rooms that she is go
ing to send me for the use of one of
my friends here. Mr.. B. says he has
located some asbestos rock at Atasca-
dero and can lease it. He wants to
know if there is anyone that he can in
terest in it.
Thomas. L. c. has been laid up with
a nail in his foot, and you bet can
sympathize with him. That reminds
me. When was on my back with
my foot up in the air with about
hundred mosquitoes trying to cheer me
up with their little songs, got char
table. You remember Robert Hun
ter2 IF you don't, ask Mrs. Wren
shall. Well, had lot Of clothes that
/ couldn't wear, so | thought could
make some room by unloading some
of them on him, so dug into my
trunk and fixed up quite bundle,
but instead of getting the vest | in
tended to, | got the vest that belong
ed to my only go-to-meetin' suit. the
one | wear yet, and the next time
wanted to wear it made the discov-
cry that Minnie Pickett had it all re-
vamped to fit Hunter. Now, if Hum
ter will only come to LA. and give me
a pair Of pants when mine are gone,
Ill believe that song that says Cast
your bread upon the waters. ETC." Dad
says that 'Landon and Borgeson leave
for Calf the 10th or 18th. Landon
goes to Fresno, and Borgeson goes to
Nipomo. That is where Currier lives"
Atkins, H. o. (Hornby's Oatmeal)
sends big sheet Of stamps and wants
to get in on this Personelle business.
Atkins makes me think that
| never will forget my trip to Fal,
With me pal, to see me gal.
0 the road winds round and round !
Sometimes on log, sometimes on
ground,
But always ends in CAL.
Johnson, Chas F., sends the follow
ing: MRS. Martin A. Zornes, aged |
90 years, died suddenly this morning, |
just as she had taken the stage for
Bothell. Mrs. .Zornes, accompanied
by her husband, was returning from
a visit of few weeks with her daugh- |
ter living at Winona, Wash, having
arrived at the Great Northern train.
She had not been well for several
and her death was not alto
gether a surprise. She is survived by |
her husband and three sons and three
daughters, c. A. Zornes. of Oregon,
Wesley and Oliver Zornes Of Calf, |
Mrs. Annie Weidrich of Seattle, Wash.
Mrs. lima Brisner of Seattle. and Mrs.
Gladys DeQuer Of Bothell, Wash. |

Charlie Johnson is running the Star

itor is on his vacation, and is batch
ing while his wife is on her vacation. ,
Chas, has been into politics quite
strong. He hopes the Personelle con-
tinues to be regular and wants to
come to L. A. to a picnic, but has had
enough Of the beautiful Mojave desert
with its aridity and purple sunsets. He
says, Keep on a-keeping on. ;"
