T INVITATION golf tournaments
L are thing Of comparatively
recent origin in the South. 1t is
probable that the Nashville Golf
and Country club was the first one
that inaugurated such events in
Dixie. There may have been spo-
radio outbreaks before that. time,
but Nashville's was the first chron-
ic affair. They had some corking
fine tournaments there, too. In the
old days Nashville had but nine
holes, and they were most of them
fine little drive and pitch affairs
the first, second fourth fifth. sew
enth and ninth then answering that
average players and they hocked to
the tournament in dfoves 1t got so
finally that the little course could
not begin to accommodate them
and when couple had played their
first round in a tournament they
would have to retire to the club
house for an hours wait before they
could get another turn at the first
tee. The Nashville tournament has
not been played for the last cou-
pie of years. but while it flourished
it was a wonder.
The Birmingham club has kicked
in at odd times with an invitation
event, but has never made it a
regular annual affair
The first Birmingham tournament
was considerable of frost. The
Alabama club provided the most
remarkable collection of trophies
ever offered in the South up to that
time, and one which probably
hasn't been equalled since. But
nobody, to speak of, came to the
tournament. SO the Birmingham
players played for their own cups
and made the best of it. After that
the Birmingham club retired from
the invitation tournament business
until this year when they gave one
that was a great success.
Montgomery had a somewhat
similar experience with their first
tournament. Only handful Of
visiting players turned up for the
event. aapd it was, in some ways,
consdeFa BILE Of a frost The Mont
gomery club was game, however,
and came back last year with an
other and this year with still an
other. and now has the event we'll
established. Next year the con-
tinuity will be interrupted by the
Southern championship. which will
be held there. but in 1914 it is prob
able that the Montgomery club will
revive its invitation event.
As things stand now. Atlanta and
Montgomery are the only South
ern clubs which advertise and pro-
mote annual invitation tourna-
ments. though the Birmingham and
Memphis clubs give enough to keep
them decidedly in the running.

club in the South. This means that
enough local players entered to fill
the tournament and leave a pretty
good surplus
With a comfortably large entry
to handle and with all day for the
qualifying only moderately early
start was made. A few players,
hopeful that there would be less
rain in the morning than the after
noon. We're making dashes for the
first tee about breakfast time. but
the majority of players took it
easy and began play at a more rea-
sonable times
1t is quite likely, considering the
stuff misbranded weather that
has been handed out of late as the
real thing. that a fall of moisture
will cut some figure with the quail
flying rounds Under the rules of
golf it is not permissible to stop be-
cause of rain. This win mean that
perhaps few lucky players will
get around without being drenched
while a majority will run into a

ers that are always prowling about,

urally it is a difficult matter to play
good golf in driving, bowling rain

At best, there isn't any great like
lihood that the amateur record for
the local course will suffer much
as a result of todays qualifying
round. The course is in excellent
condition-as good as it ever was

means that every ball hit will stick

MANSON KNEW THE SYSTEM

The effort being made now to pre-
vent accidents on the railroads, and
the announcement last week that
Dick Hogan, Pocatello man has in
vented a device to prevent explos-
ions on locomotives by having an
automatic extinguisher to put out
the fire under the boilers when the
water gets low enough to reach the
danger point, reminds the writer or
an incident that shows how famil-
lar one of our local railroad officials
is with the system over which he
presides.
1t was the morning of April 21st,
1911 when the first Get Acquain-
ted" excursion of Short Line officials
was in the Lost River Valley, and
General Superintendent E. G. Man
son received his morning telegram
summarizing the important events
of the night all over the system. He
opened it and read aloud, and among
other things there was an the an
nouncement of an explosion that de-
stroyed a locomotive and several cars
and took the lives of the fireman and
engineer at certain telegraph pole
west of Glenns Ferry.
Without any hesitation Mr.. Manson
told the cause of the explosion, and
stated 1t just as rapidly as If he
were still reading from the type
written page before him. He said the
enginemen had allowed the water tc
get low, were taking a chance or
reaching the next water tank, had
climbed the hill west of town with
the little water they had, spread

blacksmith or lawyer. His heart Is
not in the farm, therefore he can
not succeed Every normal boy is by
nature better equipped for some one
thing than for anything else. Here
is the fathers cue. If the son has
mani for making things, cultivate
and educate that mania.
The boy will largely train HIM

may safely be trusted to make start
If he is half-hearted about being

safest college for such a boy is the

BRADY SUPPORTING THE ENTIRE
REPUBLICAN TICKET

The following article from the
Grangeville Globe of September 5,
l1912, pays merited tribute to one OF
Idaho's most vigorous and energetic
citizens, former governor James H.
,, Brady, and cites him as one of the
states executives who has ever been
foremost in advancing things calcul-
ated for the greatest benefit to the
greatest number. Governor Brady Is
heartily and earnestly advocating the
support of the entire Republican tic
ket and regards John M. Haines as a
man eminently fitted to handle the
business of the state as business
man should, and the former governor
is in better position to Judge the
qualifications and capabilities of a
business executive than any man in
the public light to-day.
The Globe says, James HI. Brady,
former governor of Idaho, the man
who promoted the Governors Spec
ial in the face of no little opposition
and a great deal of lethargy, where
encoura gement and assistance should
have been offered instead, and made
it the great success it was; the man
who sacrificed a $4,000 dam by
dynamitfng it to save the common
people below; the man who has done
so much real work In advancing the
interests of his state thereby advan-
cling the interests of every citizen in
the state; the man who though de-
feated for the governursnip by the
votes of those same people, (who
listened to the stories of the politi-
cal gossip-mongers, who carried on
a campaign of SANDER not only
against the candidate, but against
their own state) accepted his defeat
like man, and came up smiling and
as ready as ever to work for his
state; that man, Jim Brady, was last
week elected president of the trans
Mississippi COMMERCIAL congress, a
great body of the most active 'live
wires" and business men, this nation
has to-day. Bradys ability as a great
mover, an actual doer of things; a |
man of vigor, force and virility, with
the habit of accomplishing what he
sets out to do, was readily recognized
by that body, hence his election as a
fitting leader of an organization
which was formed for the purpose of
getting there" and is composed of
kindred spirits who not failure. I'll
would look like the people of Idaho
got badly buncoed when they swap
ped Brady off for what they got, or
the judgment of the great outside
business world is greatly at sea. The
chances are that the voters of Idaho
would greatly rectify their mistake
if they had an opportunity to do it
over again; and they are going to
have the chance this fall to swap
back for another business man, in
John M. Haines"

SELECT SEED POTATOES NOW

r. B. Coglon, seed commissioner, is
here this week from the University
of Idaho, and give out the following
statement concerning the selection
of seed potatoes:
1t is common impression among
potato growers that where any var
iety is grown year after year on the
same farm, the potatoes gradually
diminish in size and in production
per acre, or as it is often described,
they run out" AS matter of COM
mon observation, this is true and an
attempt is made to remedy the diff
ficulty by securing, seed potatoes
from a distant source, often from
seed merchants at fancy prices. A
few, however, are beginning to real
ize that the cause is not so much in
the variety of potatoes as it is in the
variety of farmer.
The quality of any crop depends
largely upon the quality of seed sown
If we plant potatoes with deep eyes,
we may expect crop of deep eyed
potatoes. If we plant potatoes with
'knuckles" or secondary growths up
on them. or potatoes that are ill
shapen, we may expect to harvest a
crop of the same description. A mis-
cellaneous collection of large and
small tubers with varying shapes
will likewise produce after their
own kinds. 1t therefore depends
primarily upon the farmer whether
the potatoes deteriorate or i'm
prove. 1t is the purpose of this
article to emphasize the necessity of
selecting the seed potatoes now.
In harvesting the crop it can readily
be noticed that some hills contain a
larger per cent of marketable tubers
than others; it Is from these hills
that seed for next spring should be
taken. Where small areas are plant
ed, seed for the entire crop may be
set aside in this way. Where larger
areas are planted, sufficient seed for
an acre or more may be selected and
this in turn would produce enough
for a larger field the following year.
BY following this practice year after
year astonishing results can be eff
fected in improvement of quality in
crease of marketable potatoes per
hill, and increase of yield per acre.
When the crop 3 in the cellar, prop
err seed selection is impossible. Take
an extra day now and be sure OF
good seed for next years crop.

Seed Commissioner
