IT SEEMS TO ME By Dmvey They say that many things do get better with age, like whiskey, fruit chkes and old Panama hats, especially the one owned by E. C. "Sandy” Smead, of Holly wood, w ho came here Tuesday to visit his cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Z. Smith. This hat, liter ally filled with signatures of such men as Will Rogers, Gen. John Pershing, Rudolph Valentino, and insured by other celebrities, Lloyd’s of London for $10,(MM). To me and the other common people, the actual value of this hat might be just the cost back in the year Calvin Coolidge was our president, but to Smead, it has all the value there is in the world and rightfully so. His as sociation, through radio and his years in Hollywood have added the personality to this hat that it now holds. In talking to me Tuesday, Mr. Smead said that he was to have had a bid from Bob Ripley, the very day he died, of $20,000, to be "turned down" w hen he heard over the radio that Ripley the moment before, had dropped dead ittaek hat $2.50 displayed in a plastic case, un der a sign "$10,000 Hat,” insured by Lloyds of London. The case of this hat proved to me conclusively that any of us if we only will, may have wealth of this size or more, if we could only have the foresight and the willingness to push our idea. This example should be inspiration to all youth of today. There seems to be some ques tion in the minds of many of this area about the actual value of the forthcoming "Lily Blossom Time,” which a committee is la boring to make the best ever. Perhaps it nil I not sell many bulbs directly, but the indirect effect cannot be measured. This is the way 1 look at this situation from where I sit— With tourists, and there should bo many on July 4, viewing the beauty of the lily, a desire will result, naturally, to have one for the home of the individual. If properly exploited, this campaign should be much further-reaching than one mortal can figure im mediately. Some growers figure that visit ing this festival will cause any number to want to come here to raise lilies, thus flooding the mar- ket, like it was a couple of years ago. Such, if the individual per- son, unit think it through, is far from the truth. I have visited many fairs in my lifetime. I have seen many displays, but not once have I been so excited that I wished to rush into that type of business. I love to look at new machinery but certainly I have had no particular desire to manufacture machinery. If this community will but re alize it, this is our best oppor tunity to make the world con scious of Brookings and its many floral products. The first Pendle ton Roundup never amounted to too much, but look at it today people all over the world know what it means.
