SPRAY MACHINE

Herman Zieman, Sr., well known
to the citizens of Grand junction is
the inventor of a single horse spray
ing machine which looks as if it had
much merit.
The spraying is usually done with
two horse machine. which Mr.. lie
man thinks has been too cumbersome
and requires too much work. With
his single horse spraying outfit he
thinks that he has greatly simplfied
matters for spraying.
The tank is swung Immediately be-
low the axle of his spraying cart and
will hold one hundred gallons of
spray. The engine sits right above
the axle and the space used is econ
omically arranged throughout.
For the cart a four and a half inch
wheel is used to raise it sufficient
distance above the ground and a
wheel with three inch tread.
From pictures taken of the ma
chine 1t looks as if it should come into
very general use as a machine that is
less bulky and performs the same
measure of good in its spraying.

WHAT GOLF LEADS TO.

Golf enthusiasm has probably
caused more arguments and unique
wagers than any other branch of
sport" says G. J. Nathan in the July
Outing. For instance:
No more amusing illustration of
this enthusiasm can be cited than the
wager that was made several years
ago by a former national champion
with number of his friends on the
Garden City course. While in the
heart of a discussion over the fine
points of the game. the ex-champion
declared that he could play the
eighteen holes of the Garden City
course in less than one hours time
and in ninety-five strokes or better.
In view of the fact that the course
covers about six thousand yards and
that it usually takes about two hours
to make this distance of more than
three miles, it is quite superfluous to
say that his offer was snapped up on
the spot. 1t was decided, further
more, to settle the matter at once.
Procuring two caddies the player
ordered one of them to follow BIN
and the other to keep ahead after the
ball. The course is comparatively
flat and the gallery mounted bicy-
Giles to keep pace with the golfer who
had set out to make a speed record
over the course. AT the cry go from
the timekeeper, he started. Keeping
constantly on the run and shouting
out to the caddy the club he intended
TO use next, he dashed around the
entire course in exactly forty-siX min
utes, according to the tally. and
thereby winning as odd a wager as
has ever been laid by a golf en-
thusiats."

What Twenty Years of Prohib:s
ton Have Wrought.
The American Issue.


Back in the eighties when
North Carolina had her great
campaign for the prohibition of
the manufacture and sale of IL
quor, and met with overwhelming
defeat. facts were produced that
compelled the intelligent citizen
ship of some communities to see
that the prohibition of the traffic
would be beneficial in every pos
sible way. Robson county had
a large per cent. of this citizen
ship, and they ceased not to bat
tie with the liquor power until
they had conquered it. By 1890
there was not place left in the
bounds of this good old county
where liquor could be manufac-
tured or sold. Behold what these
twenty years have wrought!
At that time there was not
