NHICAGO, April 9.-When ! was

water l used to play from my
back yard diagonally across an alley
onto the parkway of Southport ave
nue. and then onto the EdgeWater
Golf Club grounds. But during the
years in which l carried out this reg
ular program, although people were
constantly passing along the street,

fected a window and not a person
Pedestrians stopped frequently in as
constituent when a ball sailed near
them; occasionally they called me
down, but such unimportant happen
ings were not allowed to interfere
with the pleasure of my game.
On the old fifth green the neighbor-
hood boys were accustomed, with the
aid OF a handkerchief placed behind
the hole, to putt late at night 1t was
one of my favorite spots and one day
standing upon it. l played full
mashie shot in the direction Of my
home If the ball had behaved in its
accustomed manner It would have
fallen on the Southport parkway, and
then a we'll directed shot would have
sent it into the back yard of the Pratt
avenue house. Incredible TO relate,
the ball landed on the sidewalk di
rectly in front Of a house, and with
bounce went straight through a big
front window
THE crash was terrific and |
dropped low in the grass and
awaited developments The lady who
owned the house came out and looked
all around and | was thankful that
she could not see me lying breath

NORMAL SCHOOL BALANCE
WILL BE KEPT INTACT

At recent meeting Of the normal
school campaign committee II was de-
cided to dispose Of the small balance
remaining Of the campaign fund by
placing II in the local bank in return
for an interest-bearing certificate Of
deposit, until such time as II may be
expedient to use the money for nor
NAL school purposes only"
The committee has had several re-
quests for portions Of the fund from
public movements of a worthy nature,
These were difficult to refuse, yet the
committee finally reached the conclu-
sion that II would have no right to use
the funds for any other purpose than
that for which they were subscribed.
These requests were therefore denied,
as will be all similar requests in fu-
ture. 1t was decided not to return the
balance pro rata TO the subscribers
for the reason that the several
amounts would be so small as 10 be of
little consequence to any Of them.
II Is not considered probable here
that any attempt will ever be made
again to have the Eastern Oregon
Normal restored. However, should a
change OF sentiment ever be Indicated
on the part OF the voters of the state,
the committee decided that IL would
be well to have a small sum available
for the prellminaries Of another cam
palgn.

There Is apparently no valid excuse

would seem the height OF folly and
bad management to leave this road

when the machinery is on the ground

owes It to the East end to complete
this thoroughfare, both from the
standpoint OF amount Of travel over
the road, and the fact that Athena
and Weston contributed largely to the
road fund In cash, labor and material.
and In reality set the pace for the
county to follow In the matter of per-
manent road Improvement. This part
Of the county pays the bulk Of the
taxes and should have a voice In the
matter which will be affected by the
uncompieted road. Why not couple
up between Weston and Milton. and
have a completed thoroughfare. then
move to the west part OF the county
