stances not usually conducive to
much practice, yet last year he
was medalist and runner-up in the
western and semi linalist In the
national. That he has always been
defeated for the big championships,
sometimes by less skilled players.
is merely one of the chances of the
game, and is the only thing that
prevents him from leading the list
Of the sixteen players.
Travis Still a Master
Although Paul Hunter beat Wal
ter Travis on the nineteenth hole
at Onwentsia, I think the veteran
is a shade steadier and certainly
more experienced. Paul Hunter
played really wonderful golf at On
wentsia, and excellent golf at the
national. His defeat by Hamilton
Kerr at the thirty seventh hole
seemed more matter of i'll luck
than poor play. Although he suf-
fered several serious defeats this
year, his game on the whole is an
example of beautiful golf. Low
scores over good fields at Glen
View, Grand Rapids. Lake Geneva
and 68 at Midlothian form an
envtable record. He plays actual
golf, but his deficiency in match
play reduces his rating.
Harry Legg is undoubtedly the
finest player in the trans Missis-
sippi region. He made a splendid
showing in the Western and ma
tional, and stands very close to
Paul Hunter.
Heinrich Schmidt, a cool and
thoughtful player, made an excel
lent showing in the national. He
succeeded in both medal and match
play In his only other tournament
the Massachusetts state champion
ship. Mr.. Legg controls more shots
and has more experience.
Kirby Plays Below Form.
Oswald Kirby, medalist in the
Metropolitan, winner of the New
Jersey championship by defeating
Travers, deserves a good place. His
rating, however, is reduced by his
rather poor showing in the national.
The names of several of our best
players are not found on my list.
Either they have been out Of the
game this year or playing in one
or two Journeys have made no spe-
cial showing. Macon Phelps, one
of our very best players, has had a
poor year, and in spite Of good
showing In the national has won a
rather low place.
1 am told that there are some
good players, equaling our finest. in
the Northwest. 1t is to be regret
ted that they have not played in
any of our large tournaments.
Fred Herreshoff's failure to quail
ify in the national was lamentable.
He is a fine player. however and
defeated Kirby at Nassau and won
the National Golf Links of America
tourney.

UNITY CANDIDATES
I'd Citizens Here Last
N 5day Evening. Atten-
tive Audience.

Monroe County Candidates on
their speaking tour made Monroe
City a pleasant visit last Thursday.
They are a genial bunch of royal
good fellows and any of them would
creditably fill the Office to which he
aspires. Of course we all have our
favorites now, but after next Tues
day we are all going to boost for
those who are successful and we
will be boosting good men regard
less of who may win.
Leo Yates who is candidate for
assessor with thee opponents did
his part to make the stay of all
candidates pleasant and entertain
ed them at supper. The boys all
greatly appreciated this After
supper the automobiles of J. V.
Proctor, j. M. Proctor and D. X.
YoweIl were obtained and the can
didates were shown our beautiful
city. Then the Monroe City Band
led the way to the North Park
where a large number of citizens Of
Monroe City and vicinity assembled
to hear the candidates present their
claims. j. j. Brown acted as chair
man and gracefully introduced the
several candidates. Most of the
candidates simply announced their
candidacy. The three candidate es
for prosecuting attorney warmed up
the atmosphere little in present
ing their claims. j. P. Boyd made
an excellent speech as the closing
In Mr.. Boyd, Monroe County has
a representative who works 10y
ally for his constituents and has
the courage and ability to do good
work. Mr.. Boyd will be called to a
higher position than representative
as he is man of honor and integ-
rity, fluent speaker and has plenty
of backbone, and stands squarely
for the interests of the people. Mon
roe County has reason to be proud
of him.

| notice Mr.. Whitecotton is caus-
ing to be published in the various
papers a letter written by Honora-
BILE j. N. Gipson of Bynumville, Mis-
souri,, in which Mr.. Gipson says:
Little Jim Whitecotton was a page
in the House at $3.50 per day, and
was the only Whitecotton on the
payroll" In my open letter to Mr..
Whitecotton | called his attention
to the report of the State Auditor
of the expenses of the 41st General
Assembly of Missouri, page 81,
showing that Daisy M. Whitecotton
received $500 out of the public
funds of the State for ten days that
she visited her parents at Jefferson
City, and that Tilden Whitecotton
receiver $45.50 out of the public
funds of the State for the thirteen
days he visited his parents at JEFF
ferson City. have in my posses
sion certificates under the hand and
seal of the State Auditor, John P.
! Gordon, of date July 9, 1912, certi-
flying that Daisy M. Whitecotton
was paid with warrant No. 2615
and Tilden M. Whitecotton was paid
with warrant No. 2618, both drawn
on April 27, 1901.
Mr.. Gipson evidently is not advis-

have made statements directly con-
tradicting all facts show in the
State Auditors report referred to
and which can be faund in every
County in the District.

Attorney General Major was the
first candidate for Governor to de-
clare unequivocally against the
Single Tax proposition. AS a men,
Der of the State Board of equaliza-
ton he has consistently and salts
factorily voted against this theory
and method of taxation, and has
thereby saved the owners of farms
and town real estate millions of dol
lars. Unless you want the bond
holders, corporate stock owners and
the railroad interests to entirely es-
cape taxation, and thereby place
the whole burden and expense of
the state, county, town and town
ship government upon the farmers
and owners of town real estate, you
should vote for Elliott w. Major for
Governor. If he is elected this un-
just idea of taxation will never be
adopted. If you vote against Major
you thereby endorse the proposition
to treble the assessment on your
real estate, which means you pay
just three times as much taxes in
the future as you now pay,

Wedding Announced.

The engagement of Miss Katherine
Henderson of this city, and Cecil
Forsythe of Oklahoma City, Okla,
was announced in unique manner
yesterday morning.
Miss Henderson invited a few of
her young lady friends for an auto

darkened dining room lighted by
Japanese lanterns and candles, and
festoOned with hearts, there to be-
hold cupid perched upon a double
heart pierced by the arrow with the
picture of both parties on either
side of the heart, and while partak-
ing of light refreshments the guest S

plished daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jasper Henderson of this city. Mr..
Forsythe is in the newspaper busi-

A Dangerous Orchard Pest.

The evergreen bagworm is prov
ing to be a serious menace to Or
chardists, nurserymen, and small
fruit growers in several sections of
Missouri and other states. The fact
that the infested territory is con-
stantIy increasing has led the Col
lege of Agriculture to publish a
bulletin telling how the pest may
be held in check. The bulletin gives
in detail, the life history of the ever
green bagworm and describes the
various means of control at differ
ent stages in its life cycle, Atten-
tion is called to the fact that not
only fruit trees, but ornamental
shrubbery and shade trees are de-
stroyed by it 1t is fully as destruc,
tive in the city as in the country.
The bulletin is No. 104. Write to
the Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Columbia, Mo-, for a copy. 1t

C0NGRESSM
Has Made An Enviable Record "A
Faithful Representative of
His Constituents.

There are many able men in
Congress. but Rucker from the Sec
ond Missouri is the peer of any.
Any man would be proud to have
the record for faithful, conscien-
tious, effective work for the peo-
pie that Rucker has to his credit.
He is always to be found on the
firing line when the peoples rights
are assailed and in him the people
have representative who is hon.
est, who has the ability and courage
to cope with any who may desire to
further encroach on the rights of
the people He can always be
found standing shoulder to shoulder
with all Democratic leaders square,
ly on the platform of the party.
He permits no one to do more
work for the peoples interests than
he does. He has to his credit two
measures that are of inestimable
worth to the people. They are:
The election of United State Sena-
tors by direct vote of the people
and the campaign publicity bills.
Both are far reaching and bring
the government nearer the people
and cause it to be government of.
for and by the people. These two
measures are specifically endorsed
in the Democratic platform and
these measures alone should return
Rucker to Congress but they are
but part of the work he has accom-
plished. With a Democratic Presi-
dent and Congress Rucker will be
power for great good to the peo-
pie. The Democrats cannot afford
to fail to return Rucker and they
are going to give him a big maiori-
ty next Tuesday over Whitecotton.
Monroe County will be in the pro-
cession and the only question is is
how much majority is the county
going to give Rucker. His good
deeds deserve endorsement. Your
vote for Rucker next Tuesday will
be an endorsement of one of the
best Congressman in the United
States, an endorsement of the man
who can do more good for this con-
stituentS and for the country at
large, You are a good true citizen
and you are going to endorse good
honest, faithful, effective work, by
casting your vote next Tuesday for

Protects the Farmers.

Farmers are going to pile up
votes for James a Houchin as the
Democratic standard bearer for
Governor in the primaries on
August 6 for the simple reason that
in him they are aware they will
have one of themselves as the Chief
Executive. His farming interests
will insure good laws protecting the
farmer from the grave inroads now
being made upon his rights. The
greatest boon in having Houchin as
Governor the farmer believes will
come from the work of building
good roads. This work the candi-
date promises to begin six months
after he takes charge of the state
government. Good roads in Mis-
souri, has been talked for several
decades but no business method
has ever been suggested until
Houchin became a candidate and
began telling of his plan to con-
struct roads without taxing the
farmer. ~

Rucker Here.

Congressman Rucker addressed
large audience at the North park
Tuesday evening. His report of his
stewardship was entirely satisfac-
tory to our people, it could not be
otherwise. People know that White
cottons malicious, unjust attact
was only for the purpose of tearing
down Rucker hoping that he could
tear him down and thus break into
Congress. He has failed in his de-
signs and is now trying to escape
from the avalanche of votes but
will be found in the hill country
next Tuesday by the voters and
ignCminious defeat will be the pen
atty inflicted on Whitecotton.
Rucker made a telling speech Tues
day night and carried his audience
with him. His words we're such as
to command respect and he had no
word of abuse for Whitecotton.
Rucker is a big. broad, honest, able
man, just such man as is needed
in Congress.

70 THE r sRMERS OF TENNESSEE

This week | want to talk to you
farmers about the leaks on the farm.
In the majority of cases the farmer
spends money for the comforts and
luxuries of life very sparingy.
Spends just as little for comforts and
Injuries as he can manage with. He
denies himself those comforts = he
should have for the sake Of economy,
and at the same time, he allows
things to SO to waste that amount to
much more than the comforts, he has
denied himself, and it is just such
leaks that | want to ia about. There
Is no good reason for them; if they
were stopped they would make such
a dinerence to the farmer. He could
have so many things that he feels
under ordinary circumstances he can
not afford, and true enough, while
the leaks continue. The farmer can
not see the leaks on his own farm
but he can point GU. the leaks on
his neighbours farm. One leak found
on almost every farm in the state
is in the care of farm machinery
How far will you have to travel until
you find some expensive farm ma
ohinery that is used a few days IN
the year, and you will see it exposed

year, the damage by exposure was

cry runs so high in thousands of
dollars it is appa ling, the farmer
is Indifferent to it and at the same
time he denies himself nice clothes,
books, papers; will not let his wife
buy necessary dishes or linen for the
dining room. Another leak on the
farm is wasted time ard the farmer
would say that he worked harder
and longer hours. In some cases
even that is true but he did not do
the right thing at the right time. He
waited about breaking his ground I'M
til it got too dry; it broke up cloddy;
he did not get it in good condition
before he planted; he found clods all
summer and the crop was not salts
factory, all because he did not begin
at the right time, and let his work
push, him instead of pushing his
work. We all know just how indif
ferent many farmers are to the value
of time. They think they work hard
er and 'Onger hours when in fact
they work fewer hours in the yeal
than the business man or the manu-
lfacturer l do not mean the farmer
who is bui ding up his land and max

returns for the value. Loss come
from improper attending to 'stocE

look for leaks we find them on ever

have long since learned that the
cannot hope to succeed if they ia
