HUSBAND. Whom snf had called,
came home and we all went out 10
look At the snake. Her husband
twisted Off the five rsttlers for .
souvenier and was going TO throw
the body In the river, but his wife
made him cut II In two first. Just
to make sure IT wouldn't come TO
life again.
Farmer Surprised
Her experience brought TO mind
another snake incident that had
happened several days before. not
far from here. This one concerns
a bull snake. which looks and acts
like a RATHER but Ia perfectly
harmless. A bull snake will some
times make a move to attack q
person. but II In only a bluff. They
put on = great show, coiling and
kissing. and even bringing their
tail up and vibrating IT like a
RATHER. though Of course. II makes
no noise. This farmer, who, de-
spite his long residence In this
snake-infested country. had a hor-
rible fear of everything that
crswled. was actually attacked by
large bun snake. and this time
the snake wasn't bluffing. He
rushed right up to the man and.
crawling up his leg fastened his
fangless. but scaly mouth. on the
mans knee. With a wild whoop
the farmer tried to disiodge him
and failing. he tainted dead away
He was found sometime later by
his son and rushed TO hospital
where. much TO his chagrin. he
found that the few tiny scratches
on his knee were not rattle snake
marks.
Returning to our camp site, we
immediately started to put up the
tent, for the wind had actually
increased instead of slackened and
the sky looked misty. usually a
sign of coming rain. Well, It was
more OF a job than we had ex-
pected. Twice that COMPOUNDED
wind blew the tent down before
we had II securely pegged. and
to make things worse one of the
corner tabs pulled out.
Use Lots Of Rope
Louise. trying to hold the cen
ter pole In place while Bob drove
snakes. had all she could do to
kkep the tent from bsllooning II
the wind had gotten under that
tent. It would have flattened her
out like the proverbisl pancake.
When the, tent was finally up we
hoped that no experienced campers
would pass by and see II. II was
fastened with more ropes than a
circus tent, TO hold IL down: one
to all the trees around II. and sew

at strategic points on the ground.
II WAS like trying TO walk through
q fun house to weave in and out
of those ropes TO get to the tent
door. II II blows down tonight.
with q hundred feet OF rope hold

In this wind.
We were just sitting down TO a
dusty dinner when we got quite
. thrill and chill. We were
listening to radio program from

cut short for what was called q
special announcement.

KATE'S ADVICE

Are all the victims of adver-
tisements and publicity? 1t real
ly does seem that we Americans
are restless, unthoughtful, and are
always ready to accept any idea
that sounds good. We have not
the time to think over every prop
osition and advertisement careful
ly to see if it really pays to notice
it. AS a result many people ac-
tually waste time and even money.
Many people fall hard for adver-
tisements which show where they
can obtain an automobile free
without trouble, or they use acer-
tain kind of soap that movie stars
use. They smoke certain cigar
cites that because popular
young man or woman uses them.
Such instances prove that Ameri-
cans are a group of most I'M
thoughtful people in the world.
1t may not seem important that
we should think more about what
and why we buy something, but it
is. Ones health might even be
harmed because of careless choice
of advertised products. We Amer
leans must be interested in be-
coming educated to the fact that
we, a nation supposedly progress
ing instead of declining, should
think for ourselves.
We should never become defin-
itely against advertisements be-
cause they sometimes even help
us, but we must watch all steps
towards doing just as an adver-
tisement tells us. Use reason and
intelligence in any matter.
If you have any problem in
mind that you would like to have
young girl to explain psycholo-
gically please write to Kathryn
Turner, 319 N. e. Tillamook st.

Club Notes

The Culture Club contemplates
carrying out quite extensive plans
for their annual outing and picnic
this week. The place-some see

which Mr.. c. Baker is District
President, will enjoy grand smo-
ker and dance on Wednesday eve
ming at Faternal Hall. Twenty
four rounds of boxing is the spec
ialty.
In addition to notes on the re-
cent meeting of the Art Exhibit of
the O.F.C.W., we wish to include
special mention of the attractive
exhibit and display of Portland's
own Flower Mecca owned and
operated by the Misses Gwendolyn
and Vyolette Hooker. Their dis
play was mounted on a four-tiered
shelf combination stand in Mex
lean design which held numerous
unique containers of many species
of cactus. Theirs was one of the
most outstanding of the individual
entrants. This exhibit received
first prize. Mrs. Blanche Brown
tied Mrs. G. M. Blake for record
prize in the setting of formal
luncheon table. The center piece
of red snapdragons was the work
Of art by the Flower Mecca.
The Royal High Hatters, a
club of thrifty, enterprising and
race-conscious young men did a
very appreciative and noteworthy
deed last Tuesday, the 4th, when
they staged Benefit Dance and
Jam Session at Fraternal Hall,
to help finance the softball team
in its endeavors to provide whole
some sport and recreation for
Portland's youth. 1t was COM
mendable to note the hearty re-
spouse from old and young en-
thusiasts and well-wishers. We
understand there were several
liberal donors to the course out
side the scores of reservations
made for the dance, Howard Root
and his all-star Orchestra furn-
ished the red hot music supported
by Miss Edith Elard singing "Why
Not Take All Of Me-" Mr.. Pep
per Nealey, formerly of the Clo-
yer Leaf Club, brought roars of
applause as he sang by A Garden
Wall and Don't Worry About Me

500 tip becomes a miniature
fortune. Twenty years ago the
popular and efficient custodian
and dispenser of liquid refresh
ments at the Montana Club, was
the recipient of a hundred dollar
tip from a nonresident member
of the club. Julian Anderson, who
has held the above mentioned job
since time was counted upon fin
gers and toes and then forgotten,
having received the century, in
vested in ten-acre space of dirt
he thought some day might yield
gold. He has been sitting tight
ever since, and with the exception
of slight scratching of the sur
face by some members of his ia
mily, the land, since he came into
possession, has remained untou-
ched.. A few years ago the Por-
ter brothers tested and surveyed
land upon either side of the Ander-
son property which was purchased.
Mr.. Anderson refusing to release
his ground. All of this ground is
now being dredged, and thousands
upon thousands of dollars have
been taken from 1t. At present
they need to go beyond Mr.. Ander-
sons property to work the other
ground they own. They asked Mr..
Anderson to name his price for
his land. He did, and without
question his price was paid. We
are reliably informed the money
has been turned over and is in two
banks to the credit of Mr.. Ander-
son.
Howard Travillian is still in st.
Peters hospital with a strained
ligament resulting from a fall two
