Atlanta'S Splendid
Golf Faculties

Atlanta, Ga. Sept. with the
completion of the new golf course
at the Druid Hills Golf club, At
lanta will forge to the front in the
canny Scotch game as having
more golf courses in proportion
to population than any other city
In the world.
The new course in Druid Hills,
which experts declare is the finest
and sportiest of them all, will
give Atlanta three elghteen-hoIe
courses and two nine-hole course S
sufficient accommodation for prac-
tically the whole public to play
golf if it SO desires. The game has
taken a big hold on Georgia dur
ing the past few years, and Macon
Augusta, Savannah and other
cities all have their courses, while
many small towns are planning to
lay out theirs.
The new Druid Hills course is
largely a monument to the enter
prise of George w. Adair, who is
one of Atlanta's most enthusiastic
and we'll versed golfers. The new
clubs membership includes the
names OF miIlionaires and multi.
millionaires, men prominent in
the financial civic and political
life of Georgia. The course has
the particular charm of being only
three miles from the center of At
lanta, in the heart of Druid Hills,
and just off Ponce de Leon avenue.
Since golf has become such a
distinctly popular game the south
can be justly proud of the fact
that southern city has perhaps
the finest facilities in America for
its pursuit.

ciated Press dispatch from Sa-
lima, Kan, Thursday afternoon
states that the National Farm
er's union, in session there, had
fixed the price at which members
will Sell this years's cotton at Is
cents per pound. The present
price is slightly in excess of IL

According to the dispatch from
Salina the action of the Farmers

This will be interesting news
to Georgia and the south. This

are members of the Farmers UNI

growers wanted the minimSsSss
figure fixed at II cents o. Us
cents, pointing out that owing Io
the tightness of the money mar
ket and the unsettled conditions
in Europe and this country, prices
Of all products would soar and
cotton would bring that price if
the members of the union held
out. Experts employed by the
union estimate this years yield
at 14,O74,5 500 bales. Last year it
was 14,2OO,OOO bales and the
price averaged IL cents.
There are nearly 100000
members Of the union who are
cotton growers, and leaders in
the movement say their neigh
bors who are not members of the
organization will join in holding
the crop until it can be marketed :
at, Is cents a pound.
The minimum price at which
cotton seed will be sold was fixed
at $50 a ton and members are
pledged to hold out for that
figure. Last years price ranged
around $26, which is approx
mately the present market figure.

4 New Waistline.

The arrangement of girdles, sashes.
BELTS or shaped bands well below the
normal waist line is new style which
is rapidly becoming prominent. At first
this style was seen only on Balkan
blouses. Now it appears on smart after
noon frocks, evening gowns, and street
dresses. The girdie which finishes the
waist line on these models extends about
two inches above and several inches be-
low the waist. 1t almost appears as a
skirt yoke. Evening gowns have soft
sashes of tulle, crepe, or ribbon, loosely
arranged several inches below the nor
NAL waist line in a crushed girdle ef-
feet, ending at the left hip. Long ends
fall nearly TO the skirt edge.

composed of three or four ruffles of soft

of fine net edged with thread in some

command Were waiting below on the
mountainside to come up where he wac

they had so long sought to behold. They

Balboa formally took possession of this

name of his royal master. the King of
Spain.- and had tree shaped in the form

himself in a barrel, in which he was taken
aboard the ship. This expedition was
bound to the colony of San Sebastian, in
Darien, but they were shipwrecked and
met hostile natives. Then they learned
of the destruction of the colony of San

MISSIONARIES NOT
PROPERLY TREATED
Prof. H. R. Salisbury Says Mission
Workers Should Have Com
Portable Homes.

Missionaries cannot live like tho na-
tives of India or China. 1t Is not ex-
travagant to build comfortable homes
for them. They should have thor
ough preparation before taking up
their work. These are a few thoughts
taken from n talk to the Washington
foreign mission seminary students yes
terday by Prof. H. r. Salisbury. who
has just returned from a trip around
the world.
Prof Salisbury spoke OF the mission
work that came under his observation
in India, China, Japan. and Korea
To do effective work. he added. mis-
sionaries should have a broad educa-
tion to meet the active. Intelligent
minds of many Of the natives. and
theE they should have comfortable
homes and proper food. Prof. Sails
bury said: Americans cannot live
like the natives. as many people think.
In fact, the natives themselves die by
the thousands because of their insani-
tary living" He continued by saying
that I'VE who live in a climate where
1t is easy to live do not think It ex-
to have nice homes, and yet
many say 1t is extravagant to build
comfortable homes for missionaries to
helm them to live where they have to
fight against tho diseases OF the cll-
mate"
Prof Salisbury IS the educational
secretary OF the Seventh-day Adventist
denomination.

CONTRACTOR SELLS THEM
Senator Broussard, in View Of Failure
Of City to Purchase, Secures
Them.

After having lain for more than two
years on one OF the National Capitals

moval from the east front of the Treas
ury Building by former Secretary Mac
Veagh. caused nationwide indignation.
have come into their own once more and
will add their stately grace to the orna-
mentation Of New Orleans, the queen
city Of the South.
Senator Broussard Of Louisiana has
purchased the columns from the con-
tractor, who found them a white ele-
phant upon his hands. and has presented
them to the Crescent City. Mayor Berh-
man. who was in the city for the In
auguration. accepted the gift on behalf
OF the city. and made arrangements for
their transportation to New Orleans.
Senator Broussard obtained permission
from George o. Totten. jr., the local
architect. who won the competitive prize
for the most beautiful and artistic ar
rangement of the twenty-nine columns
offered by the Fine Arts Commission.
The columns will be erected in the New
Orleans public park. according to Mr..
Totten's design. Senator Broussard has
for long time been anxious to purchase
the columns. but could not agree on a
price with the contractor. While the
purchase price IL not known. II Is un-
derstood that the contractor realized a
tidy little sum IN the sale of the COL
umns.
Immediately after the removal Of the
columns an effort was made by a num-
ber OF patriotic societies and citizens'
association to purchase the columns and
place them In Rock Creek Park. Suffl-
cient funds could not be raised and in
terest dwinded until the columns were
entirely forgotten. Since their removal
they have lain on a vacant lot exposed
to the elements and entirely forgotten
by the people OF the District.
