GOLF PENETRATES
 TO AFGHANISTAN

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 Kabul Afghanistan.-Thi country which has kept itself as free as any place in the orient from western institu- tions, has finally succumbed to the charms of golf.
 The sponsor of the royal and ancient game is the Amir himself who is rapidly becoming an expert player under the tu- telage of a Scottish mining engineer.
 This Scotchman came to Kabul looking for mining concessions. He brought with him his bag of clubs on the remote chance of finding golf links in country which had cherished prejudice against any game played with a ball since the time of Omar Khayam. and some discovered that the monarch was fonder of talking sport than business.
 When he spoke enthusiastically of tha Scottish game, the Amir lost no time in putting a corps of army sappers and min CTS to work constructing a course under the direction Of the visitor. Since that time the Amir has become devoted ex- ponent of the game and he has attairted fair degree Of proficiency.
 But no matter what his skill, he bids fair to remain champion of the country, for it is not considered polite to defeat a man who enjoys the power of life and death over every one of his subjects.
 Tho game has reduced the girth of the Amir and improved his health, but he Is afraid of overriding it, so at his winter capital he is having built a miniature links dc luxe. limited in size and as smooth as a tennis lawn. Here he will play tho game without any of the bunk CTS or hazards usually provided by the ordinary course

SOME MARKET FACTS
By MRS. J. 3. REID

 It is not unusual to hear a purchaser ask for ''35 cents worth of steak.'' when the best sells at 30 or 35 cents a pound, and when she gets 8 very small, julcy steak she feels she has been cheated. However, if she knows that is the al- lowance she has for the day and she Is on to her job. the same amount invested in shoulder cuts will give her moro meat and sweeter.
 We buy a rib roast for g cents a pound. That is the first cut, and really an average family will sum s1.55, but sup pose you know that the shoulder roasts are even better for nourishment, using the fifth or sixth rib. snd you can buy tho same amount-six pounds-for s1.05, a saving of 45 cents on the one roast, or 7,s cents on each pound.
 This same rule applies to lamb and pork chops. The most expensive Is not always the best; getting the best is the result of knowing whas parts will give the results at least cost Knowing how to i've every uay, SOou nldnaSefnent 's as necessary to home making as the alphebet is to the schoolroom.
 Marketing is an art. Whether you buy meat or bread. one must know the quail ity as well as cost, and then the use of the quantity. Really the average house. keeper only thinks of the quantity, and half of that is wasted in the cooking.
 Speaking of the rib roast. it is the right bower to a housekeeper who is obliged to economize. Certainly every body should attend to the wastes in or

TRIPLE MURDER

State Offer $500 Reward For Murderer.

ever, the officers made strict
search of the bodies and of The
premises for any evidence which
might lead to the apprehension Of
the murderer or murdererS, but
outside of the finding of the shot
gun shells with which the murder
had been committed there was not
a single clue for the officers to
work upon.
An inquest was held at the Cox
Undertaking Rooms Saturday
morning and the jury rendered a
verdict that the three had come to
their death by the hands of par
ties unknown.
Although no one knows just
when the murders were committed
yet it is reasonably certain that it
was some time Wednesday even
ing about dark. Mr.. Morgan and
Miss McQuillen had been in town
on Wednesday and had gone home
late in the afternoon, Miss Nc
Qulllen in the buggy and Morgan
hadhad taken home a load of oats
which he purchased that day, and
the murder had evidently been
committed but a few hours after
they had reached home. Miss
McQuillen'S purse, hat, gloves
and veil were lying in the kitchen
on the sewing machine, where she
had evidently dropped them upon
entering the house. She had gone
into the other room and had
changed clothes, and left those
she had been wearing in town ly-
ing on the bed, and had probably
hurried to get supper, for although
she had removed the shoes she
had worn to town she had not
taken the time to put on others
and was in her stocking feet when
the bodies were discovered.
The house is a small, two room
affair, over a quarter of a mile
from the road and about a mile
from the nearest neighbor, and a
deed of this kind could have easily
been perpetrated without any Of
the neighbors noticing anything
unusual. Evidently the three were
just finishing their supper when
the murder was committed, fol-
their sauce dishes were in thei1
tplateS on the table. The kitchen
faces toward the south, and the
table was on the south side of the
room and close to the kitchendOor

One of the most brutal and
fiendiSh murders which ever oc-
CURED in any community was the
triple murder which took place at
the Lee Morgan farm near Heizer
probably last Wednesday even
ing, when Morgan, his houSekeep-
er, Miss Mamie McQuillen, and a
hired man by the name of Clar-
ence McGugin, were shot to death
while at the supper table in the
home.
The crime was not discovered
until late Friday evening, and
then only by accident. Danny
Brown, a young man who lives
about a mile from the Morgan
farm, had borrowed a couple of
wagons to haul wheat a couple
of days previously, and when he
brought them home Friday even
ing about dark he discovered the
dead body of the Morgan hired
man lying close to the barnyard
gate, with his head almost Shoi
away. He. Immediately climbed
back into his wagon and hurry
ing to a neighboring house tele-
phoned to town for the sheriff and
county attorney, telling them thai
there was a dead man lying in Lee
Morgan's yard.

Over 2 Million Fighting.

SA . AAsAAA8e
THE fight which ended the adj
vance of the Germans almost at
the gates of Paris, is known ar
the battle of the Marne; this con-
flict will probably go down in his
tory as the battle of the Aisne, be-
ing fought along a line just north
of that river.
"More than 100000. men took
part in the battle of the Marne.
1t is probable that the allies and
Germans, since that conflict have
received at least 100000 reinforce
mentS, making a total of 2,5O0,0OO
soldiers engaged in this terrific
conflict.
Germans Picked Battle Ground.
The Germans picked the battle
ground, falling back across the
Marne and the Aisne until they
reached a line of hills which gave
them an advantage. Trenches
which had been utilized by the
French and English on their re-
tirement south were seized and oc-
cupied. e
The present position of the Ger
man army, all along the line thro'
the CrOanne and the forest of
LAigle eastward across the high
ground north of Rheims, is more
satisfactory to the invaders than
the ground which they held In
the Marne valley. Q
) six German armies are believed
i III be engaged in this conflict, the
main purpose of which is to check
the advance of the French and
British, in order to give the Ger
mans another opportunity to re-
sumo the offensive. The line of
the allies has been extended in q
great Semi-circle by the pursuit
of the Germans. On the whole
the battle front of the Germans is
nearly a straight line, according
to the latest dispatches from the
front. %
