Lazy But Smart

The famous old story about t"he colored brother who was whittling in fro,nt of the grocery store as the circus parade passed, and who remarked that he would like to see the parade but he just didn't happen to be pointing that way at the time, is splendidly followed up by this one:

Building Rhymins

If your customers object

To the fees of architect

And you fear they won't erect

House or barn on lines correct, Then you must be circumspect. Make your sales talk indirect

So they real,ly can't object

And a flank attack effect.

Thus you'll quickly recollect

Plan books treated with neglect

One of them you will select

Bring it out with deep respect

Let your customer inspect

All the plans and then dissect

Each in turn, the bad reject.

Finally the best elect

And the estimate subject

To your expert intellect.

On the lot the house erect

Then the price in full collect

And you will your trade protect.

U. S. Forest Service facilities for increased fire protection and general administration of national forests in California were expanded when a new equipment spot opene.d today in Stockton.

A1l mobile equipment used in these six forests and in CCC camps of each forest will be distributed from the new headquarters. Other equipment shops are at Glendale and Redding.

The nearby national forests contribute irrigation and water power, lumber, minerals, stock grazing and forest recreation to the basic industries of the State.
