 THE LURE OF GOLF
 Speaking of the proposed Country Club for Stra aHord someone spoke to of the game of golf: t'The idea that many have of the game Of golf is that of a certain man who replied to the question of What Is goIf?' as follows: Two men go out in the field with a little white pill. Each hits his and the one who finds his wins the game
 But golf is far more than that. It is a game for the open air, under the clear sky, and in beautiful fields. It may be as violent or moderate as one wishes. It trains the eye and hand to accuracy It gives room for the l utmost skill that can be acquired. No | two strokes are alike. The holes are so laid out as to trap the careless in | tall grass or bunkers and reward the | careful. It is a beautiful thing to 1 see cleanly hit ball as it sails away l for forty rodss as is often the case. | The shorter strokes, as one approaches | the green furnish tests of accuracy. l And some of the strokes on the putting | greens are as delicate as the touch of | feather. It need not be an expen- | sive, game if one is willing to forego 1 the luxurious club house and other l useless expenses.
 One of the promoters of the Coun- try Club said that provision will be | made to give one or two free lessons 1 in golf to each charter member joining g l the club. So those who have never | played golf need not hesitate on that account
