Out Of the corner Of his eye
Jimmy saw Mr.. Wilkes push down
the stem Of his stop-watch. But he
wasn't curious. He brought
Endymion in, blanketed him and
walked him in a circle to cool him
out. Mr.. Wilkes came along IS
minutes later.
you're right, Jimmy" he ad-
mitted. "Endymion has it. He
races day after tomorrow. I believe
he'll win"
He did win and so did Jimmy
Rhett. He put $3.50 on his nose
and Endymion paid % to 2, and
Jimmy Rhett won $1,000. But he
did better than that simply by
sending telegram. He didn't find
it out until he arrived at the
farm and then Jack Lang told
him.

Jimmy, that I believed in you 10C
per cent and I did all right by it
I bet a thousand dollars on Endy

much if I asked you to accept
$4,000 of the $4,000 I won?"
Jimmy didn't mind. He didn't
mind the farm now, either. HI
thought he was going to like farm
life. Maybe he'd be as good at il
as he had been on the track. AnC
that was pretty good.

'OF FRIENDSHIP

Skipper" has been working on the

care. The pat on the back is flat
terry and appeals to our vanity,
and criticism hurts our feelings,
but which one was the REAL
friend?
We all, you know, have our
faults. They sometimes look
pretty big to others, but whom do
YOU know who is PERFECT? Old
| friends are sometimes like old
shoes they are easier on the
feet, and as someone once said {.
"a friend is one who knows all
about us but who loves US just
the same"
FRIENDSHIP YARDSTICK
After all, when it comes to
measuring our friendship for 9TH
ers, that is a very good yardstick
to use. Forget your fault-finding
and quarreling and be q generous,
kind and forgiving friend and see
how wonderfully well it works.
Day after day. the "Old Skip
per" has been called upon to set
! tie little disputes among the mem
bers of the club but upon carefully
sitting the facts on each side, we
find the cause mostly imaginary.
SUNDAY BROADCAST
The most careful description Of
the word friendship" comes from
a man by the name Of Bovee. who
once said: False friends are like
our shadow: they keep close to us
while we are in the sunlight, but
leave us the instant we cross into
the shade"
The friends we are making each
day among our jolly crew Of the
WJSV broadcaSts and additions
are, however, priceless to us and
as each program reaches the air
we find q loyal, friendly crew
ready to take over for another
cruise and to overlook our mis-
takes, just as we do theirs. To
morrow is the day. L o'clock is
the time. and WJSV is the sta
ton we'll be broadcaSting for
you until then -. Ship Alloy!
