ever. that any person who Is or at any

ten a letter to the secretaries OF clubs
which are members Of the association
calling their attention to certain facts
which have come to light and asking for
suggestions from them and from the
governing boards of their clubs. with a
view to amending the present definition
of an amateur golfer. The move thus
initiated by the United States Golf AS
ISOLATION may be far reaching in It's ef-
fects. and may presage the elimination
from the amateur ranks Of many Of the
most prominent golfers in the country if
certain practices which are criticised are
not done away with.
This matter is the subject of a great
deal of conversation at the various local
clubs and is furnishing food for lots of
thought, as local golfers have never been
brought face to face with the question
before. although the entry of Eppa Rixey
in the recent Washington Country Club
tournament brought out one or two
queries, as Rixey has signed to play base
ball with the Philadelphia National
League team.
Mr.. Watson's letter to the club secre-
taries, which has opened up the subject
reads as follows:
President Watson's Letter.
Owing to the fact that certain situa-
tons now exist, it is necessary to change
section of the bylaws of this associa-
ton, which defines the status of an anna
teur golf player.
1t is to be regretted that certain play
ers members OF the clubs belonging to
the United States Golf Association. have
been and are utilizing their gOlfing abil-
ity in various phases for cash remu-
neration. directly or indirectly, which is in
violation of the said bylaws This as
ISOLATION has heretofore, does now and
always will attempt to keep the game
clean. but, unfortunately, semi-profes-
sionalism, and. in fact out and out pro-
fessionalism. is creeping into our ranks
and must be stopped before il becomes a
serious menace.
The following facts are now In evil
dence and submitted to you and your
board for careful consideration:
Il Amateur golf players are and have
been asking and receiving cash remuner-
alton for laying out golf courses, criti-
cising same and making changes in their
present physical construction.
80 Amateur golf players are and have
been accepting cash remuneration for
writing articles in newspapers explain
ing in detail how to play certain shots.
- Amateur golf players are and have
been accepting free board and travelling
tournaments and exhibition matches in
order to add to the interest of the event
for advertisement purposes.
Il. Amateur golf players are and have
been accepting and using exclusively for
advertisement purposes. free of charge,
certain makes of golf balls, goii clubs
and other golf articles.
Summing it up. prominence in the
game of golf is now being used by anna
tours for the purpose of cash remuner-
alton. directly or otherwise, to themselves.
kindly analyze carefully copy of sec
ton Z of the bylaws and submit to me
any changes or amendments suggested
by your board

be pleased TO learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

The present police jury pays
thirty-fve dollars per month for
the janitor and one hundred dol
lars per annum for cleaning up
the square. The square is used
by the public for all functions,
such as public speakings, parish
fairs, confederate veteran re-
unions, religious exercises, and
your Uncle Samuel has to foot
most of the bills. Insect ex-
terminator was ordered by direc-
ton of the purchasing commit
tee and arrived last Saturday,
and will be used until it gives
out, when, | presume, they will
order more. I have just as
much authority about keeping
the square and courthouse in
order, as has the Tines Demo-
crat, and no more. My bills are
handled by the police jury, with
as close scruting as a monkey
handles a pecan. When I am
stripped of authority, I don't
act.
You will please publish copy of
my letter to DR.. Bowling, whom
I believe, will take this matter
up with the attorney general to
see who is under the law, the

We had many Encouragement
in 1918, many things happened,
but that was all on account Of
the Is. AS a whole, the Louis
lana Farmers Union did well,
we have more members today
than we had a year ago. We
are a little better off, we have a
good state paper and a national
paper. In this 1914 we hope to
blossom as never before, we
hope to make this the year Of
great things. We believe that
we have passed the crisis and
that we shall soon be in good
health, our troubles, we think,
are all passing away. Now, we
come to you asking that you
make a mighty effort, that we
all make a mighty effort and that
we win the race. If every man
and woman will make it a point
of putting in a good word for
the Farmers Union whenever
there is a chance, whenever they
speak to anyone. soon we shall
see the effect Of that. Always
say something good for the
Farmers Union. Do you know
that we are like mirrors. we re-
reflect our own work?
We trust that each local may
become a cooperative business;
we are all in business SO let us
be sure to make that a business
like business, plant truck, raise
cattle, hogs, poultry, diversity,
make enough at home to live
there and above all use our
brains, think, think and think
and act.
Yes. Sir. we must use our
brains more, we are about to let
that important part of the ma
chine rust; use it, keep it in
action.

Eunice. La, January II, 1914.
Dear Editor: Permit me to
say a few words to the Farmers
Union members. If you don't
let me talk, / fear I will die and
that would be awful, SO please
let me say a few words.
We are just entering a new
year and the work of the year is
before us. we hope to do great
things this year. You know
that last year was a shoodo;;' you
see it was 13, and that is IN
lucky" That the old adage
may not prove to be false we
shall have to get amove and
prove that 1914 will undo all the
bad that 'l3 did. Let us get to.
gether and make this a year OF
great things, one to be looked
back upon as a starting point. 9
year of great effort and one
from which great rewards shall
be reaped. To do that we must
be leaders, we must be active,
we must be progressive, and in
order that We may do all of that
we must be members Of the
Farmers Union, not only in
name but in fame, we must be
boosters Of the +. e. & C. u. OF
A. and be willing to do mission
airy work for the cause. We
know that alone we can accom-
plish nothing. but with the aid
of our friends and neighbors we
can do mighty things, in fact we
can do almost everything.
We have taken upon ourselves
a solemn obligation, we have
promised to do all we could to
better the cause and the farmer,
and to become leaders in the
great progressive procession.
Have we always done our duty
and been what we promised to
be? Now, listen, in this new
year let us all try to remember
that obligation. let us work in
harmony with its teachings.
If the Farmers Union is grow
ing weak in your section, who is
to blame? Is it the Union or is
it you? You as a member are to
blame, you as a member have
failed in your duty or it could
not grow weaker.
On the other hand if it is
growing. If it is prospecting, you
are to be lauded for that, you
are the ones who are making it
whatever it is. Without the CO.
operation of the membership the
organization is a failure. The
outside cannot hurt it. it is the
inside that hurts, we are either
builders or wreckers. Which
class shall we belong to? Moth
ing speaks louder for the enter
prise, energy and gait of a COM
munity than their school, church
and Farmers Union. You can
not hope to be classed among the
progressive unless you are in
line to be classed thus.
