l.. stevenson, the school children OF
Covington and the members OF the
Women's Progressive Union we're In
vited to visit the canning factory on
the afternoon of Tuesday last. The
idea which prompted DR.. Stevenson

children demonstration Of the value
Of canning-not only rs CONNER
cial venture. but also as a lesson in
domestic economy-that Of slowing
away the surplus of any crop for
future use. This idea cannot be too
emphatically impressed on the minds
of our future home makers and the
men and women who will carry on
the development Of our country and
its resources.

Fownes's second shot to the home
hole barely missed a trap and
stopped in the rough, forty yards
short of the green, and in pitching
out he left himself too much of putt
for his four. although the try only
failed by the turn of a ball.
Those who followed Travers and
Walter Travis in the early stages of
their match were surprised at the in
different manner in which the cham
pion started. For a time the Upper
Montclair golfer could not do any
thing right apparently, SO that the
first thing he knew he was down.
In fact he turned for home in the
morning that way, taking AZ to go
out. He came home fast, however,
