TOOK GOLF TO AFGHANISTAN
Scottish Mining Engineer Taught the
Ameer the Ancient and Honor
able Game.

Afghanistan, which has kept itself
as free as any place in the Orient
from western institutions, has finally
succumbed to the charms of golf. The
sponsor of the royal and ancient
game is the ameer himself, who Is
rapidly becoming an expert player I'M
der the tutelage of Scottish mining
engineer. This Scotchman went to
Kabul looking for mining concessions.
He took with him his bag of clubs on
the remote chance Of finding golf links
in a country which had cherished q
prejudice against any game played
with a ball since the time Of Omar
Khayyam. He soon discovered that
the monarch was fonder of talking
sport than business.
When he spoke enthusiastically Of
the Scottish royal game, the ameer
lost no time in putting corps of sap
pers and miners to work constructing
a course under the direction Of the
visitor. Since that time the ameer
has become a devoted exponent of the
game and he has attained fair degree
of proficiency. But no matter what
his skill, he bids fair to remain cham
piOn of the country, for it is not con-
sidered polite to defeat man who
enjoys the power Of life and death
over every one of his subjects.
The game has reduced the girth OF
the ameer and improved his health
but he is afraid of overriding it, so at
his winter capital he is having built a
miniature links de luxe, limited in size
and as smooth as tennis lawn. Here
he will play the game without any OF
the bunkers or hazards usually pro
vided by the ordinary course.

SMALL TOWNS SHOW DECLINE
While the Country Increases In Popu.
lation Small Places Have Lost
Many Residents.

A striking warning that the towns
are losing their population more rap
idly than the open country was sound
ed at the twenty-sixth annual conven-
tion in Kansas City of the Southwest
ern Lumbermen's association, the Sur
vey states. The organization COM
prise 1900 retail dealers in Arkansas,
Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Nine states were cited in which
1856 towns lost population, while the
population of the whole country in
creased Fl per cent. Out Of PIT
county seats in these nine states, PIT,
or nearly % per cent, lost population,
although they are the political, admin
istrative and business centers Of pop
ulation.
This decline of the town is greatest
in the richest and most thickly settled
parts of the nine states. Wisconsin
lost population in 346 towns, Missouri
in $40, Iowa in 564, Indiana in $50,
Michigan in 677, New York in TAG, Hi.

Windmill at Cemetery

For long time people who
have relatives and friends at rest
in the Liberal cemetry have felt
the desire to start the growth of
flowers and trees at this place but
have never done so because water
was not available. Last week ,
the township board, Joe Dunlap,
Guy LeMonnier and Chas. w.
Ellsaesser had a windmill erected
there and to those who desire to
improve their lots water will be
furnished. David Curtis will
look after the water supply and ii
tank and buckets will be furnished
for the use of the public, The
grounds need cleaning and if the
board is not able to have this
work done now since the we'll has
been put down and the windmill
bought the people of Liberal
should turn out in mass and gel
the cemetery in fine shape for
decoration day.

He Didn't Mind the Crowd.

The most embarrassing moment Of
my life was when l once entertained
a young man friend at our camp at a
popular lake, on Sunday, writes Chi
cago Tribune correspondent The
young man had been very attentive all
during our acquaintanceship but l
never had thought the affair serious.
I went to the car with him and, as
usual, there was a crowd there. We
stood back until the others were on
board and then he stepped on the first
step and stood talking.
AS the car started, l held out my
hand to say good-by and he held it so
firmly that l could not escape. Then
he leaned over and kissed me on the
head while l ran along beside the
moving car in sight of all our camp
friends.
