Behind Smyrna are many great ra-

total amount of daily consumption

Governor Eberhart of Minnesota,
during an address told the following
story of his own experience:
once while travelling through my
state l was noticing in particular the
great amount of waste that was going
on about me. During the afternoon
went into the dining car, which was
crowded, so l sat down near one end
Of the car opposite a feshy lady,
who, l thought, weighed at least $50
pounds.
"As looked past the lady through
The car window, not noticing her par
ticularly, was impressed by the vast
amount of farm machinery that was
unsheltered and exposed to the wealth
er, and could not help but remark:
What a waste!'
THE lady opposite me faced me
squarely and said: Mister you just
mind your own business. '"--Philadel.

The attendant took one hasty
glance and explained that 1t was the
small, dainty heel that did the most
damage to the links, especially when
the rain had softened the grounds.
The "common-sense" heel, as the at
tendants insisted on calling 1t, despite
feminine pouts and frowns and 81 just
don't cares" is not liable to do any
damage, while any other kind will cut
up the turf.
So It was that many were angry
when turned away from the grounds
but a glance at the sign convinced
them that their only recourse was TO
the cobbler. The sign reads as fol
lows:
Men and women may not use this goh

commonly used in 'the practice of sports
