Six years ago there were only five
clubs in the United States Golf Asso-
citation. Now there are twenty-five
associate and 225 allied clubs on the
roll. There are now in existence
about twenty state or other branch
leagues subordinate to the United
States Golf Association, and that in
many Instances golf club is content

organization is shown by the record
in Newman's Official Golf Guide for
1900, which gives a list of nearly 900
regularly organized clubs. New York
heads the list, with 1853. The same au-
thority estimates that there are at
least 100000 golfers in the United

Among the new fields in which
women are competing with men is that
of farm labor 1t is said that in Kan
sas out of the 1900 farmers in the
state, 5000 are women. In Oklahoma
an almost similar condition prevails.
Some of the women work in the field,
while others act as overseers. Many
of these are Germans. In many parts
of Europe, and particularly In France
and Germany, women have long been
accustomed to work in the fields and on
the farms, and when they come to this
country this aptitude for field work
serves them in good stead. The Ger
man women are much preferred by
the farmers to the lazy shiftless farm
hands which form their ordinary hoat-
ing labor supply. They say the women
are much more reliable, and the work
they do is better DONE Kansas, witis
its immense wheat fields, draws thous-
ands of harvest hands every year. But
even these have been unable to meet
the prevalent dearth of labor. The sit
nation was recently so serious that the
farmers were in state of semi-panic
over the prospect of losing a part of
their crop. A meeting of young women
was called to discuss the situation, and
resulted in the formation of a club
composed entirely of young women,
who will go out into the fields and
help the farmers to get in their wheat
crop. They will receive for their labor
regular mems wages. The idea some
times held that farm work unseXes a
woman has been controverted too often
to need discussion.-Chicago Record.

The Houston Post says that a
strange feature of the Galveston ca
lamity was the absolute disappear
ance of the natural scavenger of the
country-the buzzard-just when he
was most needed. Not one was to be
seen anywhere, though it would be
natural to suppose that the bodies of
SO many dead animals and human
beings would attract thousands of
buzzards from distant parts.

The British commercial agent in
Russia, Mr.. Cooke, has just issued
very optimistic report on the great
trans-Siberian railway. Siberia, he
points out, is no longer a mere Rus
sian penal settlement, but young
country with a great future before it.
The railway has already diffused hun
dreds of thousands of settlers over the
vast domain and is opening gold de-
posits which it has not hitherto been
possible to work at a profit. Siberia
already ranks among the leading gold
producing countries and other import
ant industrials are expected now to
develop rapidly. In many respects the
history of Siberia is curiously like thas
