white man, so he pulled his car to a stop alongside the pony, and in disdainful inquiry asked of' the brave:

"Why don't you let the squaw ride?"

The brave looked at him in complete surprise for a few moments, then answered as the Indian is taught to answer, directly, truthfully, and in the fewest possible words:

"She ain't got no pony."

Greetings in The Modern Manner

A novel way of wishing a group of wholesalers in San Francisco, Portland and Eugene a happy New Year was taken by the Ingham Lumber Company of Glendale, Ore., when they put in a conference call on December 3O to have all of the group on the teletype at the same time.

They had a lot of fun in doing it this way, and possibly hadn't anticipated the amount of joshing and byplay between members of the group after the greeting had been delivered and acknowledged by each. For instance, when Howard Gunton announced he would go fishing in Clear Lake over the holiday and Ben Byrnes cast doubts on both his ability as a fisherman and his probable story as to the results.

The group included Wendling-Nathan Company, San Francisco; Hill & Morton, Oakland; MacDonald & Harrington, San Francisco; M. J. "Ben" Byrnes, San Francisco; Lamon-Bonnington Company, San Francisco; Consolidated Lumber Company, Eugene, Ore.; Edward Hines Pacific Company, Portland, and E. K. Wood Lumber Company, Portland.
