The Wind is in the Pine Trees (By Wampus Pete, the Silver pen- .1 ned Poet of the Sierras) O, the wind blows through the pine trees, And the wind blows through the flat, And the wind blows through the barnyard, Where the old brown hen she -sat. O, the wind is mighty windy, And the breeze is breezy, too; And it make your eyes all bleary, And it makes you wheezy, too. Yes, the vagrant winds are sighing, And the vagrant breezes blow, And if the winds change quarters, We are like to have some snow. Yes, the winds are still a-blowlng, And the weather, it ain’t fair, For the wintry winds are blowing Through the atmospheric air.

The New MUSHROOM HUNTS HELD BY ELITE OF CACTUS FLAT The most enjoyable events of the social season are the delectable mushroom hunts that are held in and around the environs of Cac tus Flat after the fall rains have helped the dainty mushrooms to lift their silken heads above the soft and oozy earth. At this time of the year mushroom season is in full blast and whenever you see a flivver parked by the roadside you may rest contentedly assured that the occupants of same sre out with a basket trying to get a free lunch. Mushrooms differ from toad- stools, in that toadstools are apt to upset one’s digestion by caus ing instantaneous and abrupt death, while mushrooms are quite edible if there could ever be a way invented to get the sand and gsavel oot of them. To one who has never enjoyed the thrill of, plucking the purple hutd muih-! room from its downy bed, we would advise an immediate trip to j Cactus Flat for that purpose, and j then after you have filled your I basket with the luscious vegetable, or whatever it is, yon may show ' them to your friends and they will say, invariably: “Oh, those are toadstools.” There is only one way to tell the difference between mushrooms and toadstools. First pick yoor mushrooms. Peel th«ir hides «ft until there is nothing left of each one but apieee of pulp about the size of a pin head. Then fry them. Eat them with a relish and sit down to await result«, If you live. they were mushrooms.
