But with those dimple and that smile it suits you" Merry blushed again It was disconcerting to have a strange young man studying her face so closely but it was funny too Sha laughed "Merry” he repeated "I Ilka that Makas a good Merry and Terry combination Hey! Where you going? Don’t jump back In the water mermaid I'll only swim right after you!” "Breakfast” said Merry gather"We haven't ing up her belongings eaten yet They’re expecting me at the cottage” "Well" said Terry reluctantly “ ’Bye See you then for now again” He walked over to the deep end of the pier waved dived cleanshe beach left the as and Merry ly with long sure saw him swimming strokes out to the raft If only she thought he hadn't come along quite so soon!

Who wiU win the PGA? Apparently It doesn't matter Herman Keiser won the Masters in 1948 and has won little since Lew Worsham won the Open at St Louis last year and hasn't won a tournament since Jim Ferrier from Australia won the PGA but has set no blazing woodlands cn fire since Why is It that we have no golfers who can win more than one tournament on a jnnket? Horton Smith won six around 1928 Jimmy Demaret won six or seven a few years back MacDonald Smith won eight big ones In a year Bobby Jones mopped up In 1930 Jones and Hagen won 24 national and international championships between them New you can’t find a golfer who caa win as many as two Ben Hogan never has won an Open Jimmy Demaret never has won an Snead Open or a PGA Sammy never has won a U S Open albut erratic though the brilliant Snead has won the PGA and the British Open Hogan Nelson Snead and Demaret are too good to stand on their records in the U S Open the British Open and the PGA the three top titles of golf Where Is another Bobby Jones? Another Walter another Hagen I might Gene Sarazen? add another Tommy Armour and another who won these three Jim Barnes major events The modern charge is made that Jones Ilagca and Sarazen played la only few tournaments — that all three would have been nervous wrecks If they had followed the rough trail that Hogan Demaret Snead and the others have taken This cau be true I am not going to deny it for can’t prove these charges are wrong AH I know Is there are too many tournaments today for the good ct th better the player EspeciaHy player Big money golf is much rougher on the nerves than world seriei baseball or any form of football aide is far more imTh mental portant In golf than it is in baseball football or boxing Who Yogi a iait Suva sue euAlANTIIB IIUAT1 Or M Ol fOSTAet ISAM SHUR son aox CO is omoom FUR MFC roariANo WE BOY AND SELL Of flew Furniture File Typewriter Snfee Cash KeuMtter ing Mnrhlnee EXCHANGE SALT LAKE DESK St S2J South Slat Salt Lake City Utah r INSTRUCTION POPULAR PIANO! baay frirndi In a few week Three trial leaaona far 9200 rapid method Pay aa you itudy 1100 each for e ght additional leaeons by mall STYLE THE GOODSELL 229 W Chapman Fullerton California IT’S FUN TO PLAY Delight your FARMS f SALE FOR rrn’ts aa for ttlemRnt eporfunlflic liHlilA til Jill 9 pr ccJ mil liniihan I'iaMo llilUajr uciruwr li C firm You’ve hjard the old saw about "Nobody loves an insurance peddler but the widow of the deceased” If column true maybe this month’s will cost mo my popularity (?) ’cause I’m going to talk insurance — and now- about disease anthrax Here goes Last summer a herd of 486 cattle was suddenly struck by anthrax And no wonderlhrough forgetfulnesa or something they hadn't been vaccinated yet they were pastured on known anthrax badlands! Here’s what happened to that herd: Four days after the outbreak 30 animals were dead began At least 5C of the herd bad anthrax On the 4th day Cutter was called in and treaimcnt started (I’ll tell you about it in a minute) Lotses stopped five days sfter treatment was begun but still 41 animals died in all 41 animals lost — worth at this year's average market about $300 each Add to that for treatment and control measures Altogether I'd say the owner took a total loss of about $14000 Fourteen thousand bucks— when for only $6062 that stockman could have immunized all hia herd with Cutter Charbonol For just six sawbucka and some chicken feed he could have insured his cattle against anthrax— could have gone ahead and pastured them on those badlands Now about the treatment: Actually the recovery rate in this outbreak was remarkably high — probably due to the use of penicillin in combina- tion with Cutter’s scrum Treatment was different for sick and weU animals Those not showing signs of anthrax received 100 cc serum and a 2 cc dose of No 4 anthrax spore vaccine Sick animals were given 300 cc antianthrax serum plus 600000 units of Penivet (Cutter’a veterinary penicillin) in 2 doses 8 hours apart So it looks like penicillin saved the day again Don’t forget right now is the time to take out anthrax insurance by vaccinating with CharbonoL See you next column — HFIP WANTFD The Salt Lftkt Tribun hat opening reporter and a ropy reader of two or Will alao year experience In a beginner with good odurathmal Addren ground inquiries with full to Managing mMion Editor Salt Tribune Bait Lake City Utah enidf MISfFl 22S I lor ft moro pta bark infor Lakft ANFOUS General Motor Dice) Engine Twin LHk Clutch Reduction Good Condition HP Goaf GREIVE & RILEY 24 Poet NAMESE Knight's Seattle St DOGS CATS PFTS Wash ETC STUD SERVICE Tbl Ch Piper and Knight's Miguel Kitten uiunlly for point Kattery P O Box ltcr Line and nnle Knight's Oawpgu Origon BUSINESS AND INVFST OPPOR UNLIMITED O ol earnings available started A busimi of yonr choice Full or part time Dotnil free KING 711 W 8rd Loe Angelen Teen - age1 acial blotdtcs To cleanse skin carefully — relieve pimply irritation and so aid healing use these famous twin helps RESIN LS 53 PILES TROUBLE?
