In an advertisement on another page of this issue an idea is shown for a Redwood picket fence and a gate made from pickets that is a little different.

The fence divides the property of J. W. "Jack" Williams, secretary of the California Redwood Association, an$ that of his neighbor in Berkeley, and the idea for the fence is Mr. William's own.

Much favorable comment has been passed on the beauty and simplicity of this fence and gate. IJnquestionably thb design will be copied by some of its admirers.

Statistics support the contention that no wood easily available can be more satisfactory for outside use than California Redwood.

JOURNEY'S END

I'd like to go to London,

I'd buy a scarlet gown

And silver-buckled slippers

To dance in the town.

I'd like to go to Samarkand

And linger in the dusk

To purchase from a camel pack

Sandalwood and musk.

I'd like to go to Tokyo-

At some shop near the sea

I'd buy a carved elephant

And sip at perfumed tea.

With such a wanderlust, it's strange

I find my heart's desire fn peace and love and happiness

Beside rny cottage fire.

-Lexie Dean Robertson.

A TITTLE-

A little gold in one's heart, a little of the milk of human kindness and consideration in one's veins, and a little laughter in one's voice, are worth more than a lot of gold in the bank or pocket.-Tom Dreier.

The Pleasures Of War

By Thomas Dreier

When one stops and thinks about it, what can be more asinine than war? There is some sense in Oliver Baldwin's suggestion. Oliver Baldwin is the son of Stanley Baldwin, once pri.me minister of Great Britain. His suggestion is that in the next war the age limit for those participating should be set at from forty-five to eighty-five. Then there would be none of that hooey indulged in by the man who thanks God that he has a son to give his country. In the next war the youngster should be permitted to say, "I am giving the war a stepfather and a couple of aunts."

The feather-brained young women who go about insulting men not in uniform should also be sent to war. People who believe in war and who want war should be permitted to enjoy its pleasures, if any. If we think it is wrong for two individuals who have a difference to shoot it out on the main street, what makes it right for two nations to shoot it out?

NLw Roomer: Ah ! I suppose those spots on the ceiling are the explosive?

Landlady: No, those are the professor.
