Ride 'em Cowboy

The accompanying picture was not taken at a rodeo, roundup, dude ranch, or on a motion picture location. It's the real McCoy.

In the early days of the Southwest when Kansas was "way out West," the longhorn steer was the king of the range from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. There are not many in existence today, but when Clint Laughlin of Los Angeles, manager of the Southern California Wholesale Lumber Association, was on a recent trip to Beaumont, Texas, as he was passing through the city of Orange in that state, he caught a glimpse of a longhorn steer, so decided to ride the animal and have his picture taken. A glance at the photograph is evidence enough that he enjoyed the experience very much. And

Clint states that he will be glad to make an affidavit that the steer is a live animal.

Now, Clint is very conversant about longhorn cattle. Says they were brought to America by the Spaniards, were hardy and active animals, had an aggressive disposition and were a favorite breed among old-time cattlemen. The horns of some of the cattle, he says, had a spread of six and seven feet from tip to tip.

Inexpensivc Hardwood Panel for Homes GRAVES FLAT TYPE

The demand for an inexpensive hardwood panel for use in the average modern home is being supplied in a very satisfactory manner by the new Cal-Board hardwood plywood, distributed exclusively by California Panel & Veneer Company, Los Angeles.

Cal-Board is a sound-l-side grade of hardwood panel with all three plies being hardwood and is sold at about half the price of regular cabinet grades. It is made by the hot-plate method, glued with urea resin glue and is highly water-resistant. The woods in which it is now available are: Sliced Walnut, Birch, Unselected Gum, Elm, Genuine Mahogany, and Plain Oak.

"Cal-Board has proven to be a very popular Dealer item," says W. F. Fahs, sales manager, "and is being used in many places where hardwood plywood was heretofore prohibited because of cost."

Lumbermen's Post Will Meet May 14

Lumbermen's Post No.4O3 of the American Legion was entertained at their last meeting by L. E. Glick, owner of Bird Wonderland. Mr. Glick gave a very interesting talk on his trips to the jungles of Asia and other countries and on bringing back birds and animals for sale and for use in the movies. J. .W. Mcleod, vice president of Cadwallader-Gibson Company, Los Angeles, was chairman.

The next meeting, which will be held Tuesday evening, May 14, has been designated as Ladies' Night, and Commander Alexander has a very interesting program arranged. Judge Clarence Kincaid will be the speaker of the evening. All lumbermen and legionnaires are invited.

Lumbermen's Post is very unique in that it is doing a great deal of Boy Scout work. At the present time the Post is sponsoring three separate units, namely: a Boy Scout Troop in Culver City; a ship of Sea Scouts composed entirely of Eagle Scouts, and a Boy Scout Drum and Bugle Corps of twenty-eight members.
