HOW OLD IS GOLF?

Old Is

Nobody knows, but King Solomon played the:game as far back as 1012 B. C. lle was chairman of the handicapping committee, and had to deal with the same kind of kickers we have today, and on one occasion complained that "A foolfs lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes." (Proverbs 18:6.)

In 1457 A. D. golf had become so puplar in Scotland that the people were forbidden to play it, because of its interferdnce with the practice of archery, which was needed for national defense. In 1491 King James Fourth ordered the arrest and fine of anyone playing this "unprofitable game." The oldest golf club in the world is that of BlacHreath, near L,ondon, England; the date being 1608, or 168 years before the U. S. A. was officially on the map.

When the Americans did take it up, however, they made it step. 'We have now about 5,000 golf courses in this country, and are building new ones at the rate of about 400' a year. There are over four millions of Americans playing golf, and we hold all the world's titles.

ROBERT TNGERSOLL'S ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO THE LAUGHTER OF CHILDHOOD

"strike with hand of fire, O, Weird Musician; thy harp strung with Apollo's golden hair; fill the vast cathedral aisles with symphonies sweet and dim, deft toucher of the j organ keys ; blow, bugler, blow until thy silver notes do touch the skies with moonlit utaves' and charm the lovers wandering on the vine-clad hills; but know your sweetest strains are discords all, compared with childhood's happy laugh, the laugh that fills the eyes with light, and every heart with joy; on, rippling river of life, thou art the boundary line between beasts and man, and every wayward wave of thine doth drown some fiend of care; Oh laughter, divine laughter of joy, make dimples enough in the cheeks of the world to catch and hold and glorify, dl the tears of ' grief."

Pre War Stuff No Doubt

"You say dishere lickah is pre-wah stuff?" asked Gambler Mose suspiciously of Bootlegger Ben.

"It suah is. Ah ga'ntees it."

"But kin yo'prove it?" asks the prospective purchaser.

"Yassuh. Suah kin."

"How kin you?"

"By drinkin' it. One drink, and den yo' fights. Ain't dat pre-wah?

"What is etiquette?"

"Saying, 'No, thank you,' when you mean 'Gimme."'

Hoo Hoo Club Activities at San Die$o

By W. L. Richardson, Chas. R. McCormick Lbr. Co.

The new Hoo Hoo year of 1925-26, as far as local activities are concerned, was begun quite auspiciously at San Diego, Calif., with a dinner and business meeting, in one of the beautiful banquet rooms of the Cabrillo Cafe, on Sixth Street, Friday evening, November 2Oth, and' by counting the signatures from a paper circulated at the table it appears there were forty-five members present' '

H. H. Miller, assoclated with W. J. McDermott, in the hardwood business, having been selected previously by the members to serve in this capacity for the ensuing year, read his official appointment as Snark, and was enthusiastically acknowledged, by the usual three times three, and the tiger cat. All are well satisfied with the selection and appointment of Homer H. Miller, and under his direction it is confidently expected there will be more interest manifested and greater enthusiasm shown than heretofore, and this is said without any prejudice, as all his predecessors have been exceptionally good fellows and hard workers, but he has a certain advantige, in the increased membership and the expansion of our industry in this locality. Thg first official act of the new Snark was the appointment of the other eight members of the nine, as follows:

Senior Hoo Hoo-Albert A. Frost, San Diego Lmbr. Co.

Junior Hoo Hoo-Harry C. McGahey, San Diego Lumb. Co.

Bojum-Robert Reid, Hillcrest Lumber Co'

Scrivenoter-Russel A. Piersall, Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co.

Jabberwock-Fred W. Hawman, W. J. Glasson Planing Mill.

Custocatian-Ralph Smith, Park Lumber Co.

Arcanoper-Carl B. Gavotto, Benson Lumber Co.

Gurdon-Philip M. Barker, San Diego Planing Mill.

There is no reason why they should not make a good team. The determination was at once voiced to commit to memory their respective parts for the next concatenation, which it is proposed will be held early in 1926.

The newly appointed Secretary, an employe of Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co. for the past fifteen years, the only delegate from San Diego to the last Annual at Spokane, was called upon to tell what especially interested him, and was listened to with attention, particularly as he related the circumstarices and impressive manner of the initia ceremonies.

After a number of other short talks by different members, the meeting resolved itself into a session of the Hoo Hoo Club, the first for the year, and an election of new officers was had, resulting in the choice of Robert Zumwalt, of the B'enson Lumber Co., President; H. B. Miller, of the San Diego Planning Mill, Vice President; Art. Jensen, of the Dixie Lumber & Supply Co., Treasurer; and W. I-. Richardson, of the Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co., Publicity Agent.

In looking over the names of those present at this joint meeting, one is quite impressed to note the attendance of out-of-town members, some of rvhom drive in from places as remote as fifty or sixty miles from the city, and consider the time and expense not wasted.

, A second meeting of the San Di'ego Hoo Hoo Club was held, at the same place, on Friday evening, Decernber 4th, and a good dinner enjoyed, by sbme forty-three members and visiting lumbermen, one or two of whom promised to become again active lloo Hoo, and others are considered as good cat meat for the forthcoming initiation. Out-oftown attendance was again very good. J. C. Bargar, who for many years maintained a lumber yard at Ramona, 35 miles east of San Diego, in a beautiful mountain valley, and
