ConfuSIon fACToR It is impossible to com- pare by make and model from one store to another. No wonder mattress retail- ers are so quick to promise that if you can find the same mattress at a lower price, they'll give it to you for free. They know that will never happen because no other store carries that exact mat - tress. SHoP BY leVel Each mattress manu- facturer makes "levels" of mattresses for the stores that sell their brand: Very cheap, decent cheap, good and best. That's not what they call them, but you can tell by the pricing within each manufacturer's line of products. PRICe MATTeRS A very cheap mattress is about 10 percent ma- terials (foam, steel, pad- ding) and 90 percent air. A mid-level mattress is about 40 percent materials and so on. The more mate - rial, the better the product and the higher the price. A high-quality mattress will be 90 percent materi - als, which means it will be the heaviest of those you try to lift. Lift the corner of a mattress. If it's light as a feather, you can be sure it is a low quality mattress. WeIGHT MATTeRS The heavier the person(s) who will be sleep- ing on the mattress, the heavier you want the mat- tress to be. no PIlloW ToP A pillow top mattress is a normal mattress with a layer of extra padding on top. The pillow top will wear out and flatten down long before the actual mat - tress begins to show a dent. But it is attached perma- nently. You'll pay at least $150 more for a pillow top (double that if it has a pil- low top on both sides). Buy a great mattress pad in- stead. TAKe A nAP Once you've narrowed your choices to two or three, get comfortable for at least 15 minutes on each of the beds you are consid - ering. neGoTIATe At the very least, you should get free delivery and removal of your old mat- tress as part of the deal you make in a mattress or de- partment store. And at the most? You could get a price reduction, a mattress cover, sheets and pillows too. Remember the first rule of negotiating: Always ask for more than you're willing to accept.

Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630. EvEryday ChEapskatE How to buy a mattress The 71th annual Stony- ford Rodeo is set to kick off at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 3. This is a two-day pro- fessional event that draws in circuit-riding cowboys from all over America and Canada. With its stated popula - tion of 250, Stonyford may be the smallest town to host a PRCA event. And at 71 years, it is one of the oldest. Stonyford put on its first rodeo, an amateur outing, in 1939. It proved to be so pop - ular that the Stony Creek Horsemen's Association was formed in 1943 to man- age it as an annual affair. In 1945, it took on a profes- sional tone when it came un- der the auspices of the Cal- ifornia Cowboy Association (CCA). It became a PRCA event in 1976. In 1948 the rodeo moved to its present location. A fire in 1950 burned it to the ground, along with most of the other buildings in town. Bu t it w as r ebu il t. F ir e, however, visited the rodeo again in 1960. Rebuilt again in 1961, fires have stayed away and the grounds have undergone continuous im - provements, most of which depended on volunteer la- bor by Stony Creek Horse- men members, with some help from the larger com- munity. The rodeo weekend offers big-town fun. The weekend begins on Friday evening with a barrel race at 6:30. On Saturday the day begins with breakfast 7-10 a.m., then moves on to a charm - ing small-town parade at 10 a.m. The rodeo begins at 1 p.m. and runs from 3 to 3 ½ hours. Later in the evening, there is dancing at the Tim - berline Bar and Restaurant. It all starts again on Sunday with breakfast 7-10 a.m. and Sunday services at either of our two churches — the non-denominational Stony - ford Community Church or the Indian Valley Assembly of God Church. The rodeo starts at noon. Stonyford is too small to have its own commer - cial lodging; however, it has three great camping areas. The most popular is directly behind and within walking distance to the rodeo arena. The second in popularity is along the shoreline of the East Park Reservoir. The Stonyford end of the reser - voir is two miles from the ro- deo arena and offers many delightful camping spots. The third camping area is on the other side of the res - ervoir, at the Lodoga end. This is about an eight-mile drive from the arena; how- ever, the camping sites are plentiful and offer more "nooks and crannies" than on the Stonyford end. But, if camping is not your style, there are nice motels in Willows and Williams, both about 40 miles away. Come on out and join the fun. rodEo SMALL TOWN,BIG RODEO Stonyford prepares for 71st annual rodeo CouRTESY PHoTo For 70 years, Stonyford Rodeo has entertained hundreds of people and will again this year May 3 with a parade, dancing, Sunday services and regular rodeo events. online: Tickets this year can be purchased at the gate or at WWWW.STonYCReeKHoRSeMen.oRG saN dIEGo » David Hay had no words for what was about to happen. And that's sort of impor - tant when you're running a spelling bee. Hay was the bee master Tuesday at The 45th Annual U-T San Diego Countywide Spelling Bee. It was halfway through its tense, two-student final round when Hay realized he was about to run out of spelling words. Hay says it hasn't hap - pened in his 33 years as master. His 500-word supply is usually plenty, but the 92 middle-schoolers exhausted them, from "macaroni" to "obnubilate." He had to call a recess and scrounge up some spare words to finish. Allison Grygar won by correctly spelling "pros - trate" and "gurgle" when her opponent botched "scrimmage." Young Allison will com - pete in May's Scripps Na- tional Spelling Bee, where presumably words will be plentiful.
