14 MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Or.gon, Thursday, April 3, 1938 Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- A SWEET YOUNG THING toyed with the notion of signing up for a shorthand course. "When we get finished with you," promised the enrollment clerk, "you'll be accurate, de pendable, and neat.'' "What about jpeed?" persisted the applicant. "Our "last nine graduates," said the enroll ment clerk calmly, "married their bosses inside of five months." "How come a beautiful young girl like you wai fired by that old wolf at the Third rational?" the applicant for a. Job was asked. She ex plained demurely. 1t was be cause of a mistake I wouldn't make." Love in the second grade: Wrote Judy to the lad in front of her, 1 love you. Do you love me?" The lad replied, "I do." "That's exactly what I didn't want to aay," he explained to his dad that evening, "but I can't apell 'don't.' " 1958. by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by King Features 8yndlet.

TABLE ROCK River Home Is Sold ' R. E. NEALON Table Rock Mr. and Mrs. William Isaacs recently sold their home on Rogue river to Wallis Hopkins recently of Klamath Falls, now connected : with the Jackson County Fed : eral Savings and Loan of Med : ford. ' Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins have : one son and two daughters, ; now attendting school in Med- ' ford. Bill, as he is commonly known, has owned the proper- ty over a long period of years, ; being in an ideal spot for fish ing. Many distinguished people have been entertained here, including Herbert Hoover, an all-night visitor at one time. Many friends will testify as to Bill being a good neighbor, taking an interest in commun ity affairs, and willingly serv ing difficult shifts on the local observation post during the war. ! We first met Bill in 1906, we were working as a team ster for Dr. Ray, during the building of the Gold Ray dam. We had,' received our first monthly check which amount ed to $30. We took a day off and boarded the friendly S.P. for a trip to Medf ord. Bill was then operating a clothing store, and on the train trip we noticed his clever display ads painted on the board fenc es "Our underwear won't itch, but the price will tickle you." Getting off the train we . walked up Main street to the store which he called the "Toggery. After introducing himself as "Toggery Bill", he asked our first name, and we told him it was Robert. Ever since then, we have been Bob to him and he, Bill, to us. He proceeded to fit us from head to toe, among the items being an all wool suit, a pair of patent leather shoes, a der by hat, celluloid collar, a "cali co" vest, which he threw in, and a suit of "itchless" under wear. We still had enough money to buy a ticket back, which we believe was 25 cents. quarters to pastures on Upper Table Rock. The Straus Brothers cattle fed last winter on the Ed Tay lor farm are now on pastures in the Meadows district. Joe Stallings, recently trad ed a pure bred berkshire weaner pig for a used car, and threw in his Model A as "boot". Miss Linda Doran wants to sell her riding filly, Cinder, or trade her in on a car. The recent rain and wind storms have knocked farming operations here into a cocked hat." The bottom land was just beginning to get dry enough to plow, when Saturday's downpour struck. 1 A shipment of dressed beef from New Zealand, theequiv alent of 5,000 head of fat steers is soon to arrive from San J Francisco, according to a local stockman, who seemed to be pretty well "hopped" up over our good neighbor policy of exchanging produce. Visitors here with relatives Saturday were Mr. and Mrs. Homer Edgecomb and son, Jerry, of Susanville, Calif., and Mrs. Emma Houston of Central Point. The Edgecombs are connected with the school system in Susanville, he being superintendent of schools there. Cattle on the Table Top Ranch were moved last week from their winter feeding HELP US!

The Central Point Camp of Royal Neighbors held their regular monthly meeting, Tuesday, April 1, at the home of Mrs. R. E. Nealon. Last Saturday, when our Saturday boy came to work, he discovered a prized steer was badly bloated, so we call ed the vet, who promised to come as quickly as possible. Meanwhile the steer was get ing worse, every minute. Our boy said be believed he could get a short length of cross wise broom handle in the steers mouth which would cure him, which he did and presto, out shot the gas. Then our helper proceeded to tell us what caused the gas to form and prevented it from escaping. We asked him where he learned this, and he said, Crater High. Then we asked him if he learned the broom handle deal there too, but he said no, he learned that on the farm back in Oklahoma. We thought it was good to know the cause and effects, but much better to know what to do, and when. An appropriate Easter pro gram "of songs and readings, will be presented by the local Sunday school at next Sun day's regular Sunday school time. Everyone is invited to attend.

Riverside COMPLETE REPAIR SERVICE FOR ALL MAKES Scene Where Christ Wept and Prayed Unchanged by Time Jerusalem HP) Time steps back 2,000 years in the tiny olive grove of ' Gethse mane where Jesus Christ came to weep and pray the night before he died. Of all the sacred spots in the Holy Land, the little gar den is least scarred by time and change. Inside the garden, the same olive trees that looked on Christ's hour of agony squit gnarled and fat in the warm spring sun. Tree in Corner The tree under which Christ is supposed to have prayed sits in the southwest ern corner of the almost sym metrical eight-tree garden. Its twisting and flaking brown trunk measures almost 15 feet, around, but it stands only slightly higher than a man's head. Paths of sun-bleached white pebbles installed by the Franciscans who care for the garden criss-cross its scrubby coat grass. Along their borders, yellow and purple pansies and orange marigolds also set out by the Franciscans grow. The garden looks across the Valley of the Cedron to Mount Zion in Israeli terri tory where Christ ate his last supper. Tombs Visible Little has changed in that landscape since Christ's time. To the right are the sun whitened tombs of the Proph ets Absalom and Zaccharia. Across the valley on the stone littered hill climbing up to the walls of the old city of Jerusalem are the graves of hundreds of ancient Jews. They are buried there in keeping with a Biblical tradi tion that said the Valley of the Cedron would be the site of the last judgment. Except during the heavy tourist seasons of Christmas and Easter, few pilgrims come and go through the lit tle garden. ASK EXPLOSIVES CURB Panacea, Fla.
