OOLSBY LEANING By JOHN H. GOOLSBY Well, here we are again; the time when the frost will be on the pumpkins, and soon we will be headed into the sleet and snow of another winter. But most of us have behind us the memories of a beautiful summer and wonder ful recreations of all kinds, which we have been enjoying to the fullest,—not for a minute for getting a.ll those nice eats which we have had from time to time by the blue waters of Camp Sap phire. Now the next big event will be bowling, which this year, promi ses to be the best ever,—a sgort that we can all get into. All this, and the other fine things go to make our work and our lives more enjoyable for ourselves and our families.

Our Company guar antees a square deal to every one. A friend is some one you can be honest with, and still be friends. He who conquers others is strong, but not as strong as he who conquers himself. Life’s a bully good game with its kicks and cuffs. Some smile, some laugh, some —Turn To Page Thirteen
