Harry Vardon, the great English

greater distance, but the driving iron
is useful when the shot is of a length

There are the two mashies, which

er to use, the one for ordinary ap-
proaches and the other for odd jobs,
especially in long grass or against
the wind, and niblick and a putter

AID WOLGAST MOVES ON
Will Never Take Part in Another
Serious Encounter.
Ring Never Had Flasher Career In Its
History Than That Shown by
Cadillac Boy Never Ranked
as Popular Champion.

Wolgast has moved on. He says he
never will don another pair of boxing
gloves for serious encounter in the
ring and doubts very much whether
he will ever be induced to even look
at the modern tools of ring warfare
again. Yet he is only twenty-seven
years old.
The ring never had flasher career
in it's history than that shown by VOL
CAST. He started battling in 1906, was
a sensation out on the Pacific coast
in 1908, became lightweight cham
pion of the world by defeating Bat
Ting Nelson on February %, 1910,
twice broke his arm on mediocre op-
ponents, suffered an attack of appen-
dicitis and went through an operation
and then lost his title to Willie Ritchie
on a foul on November %, 1912.
Despite the fact that Wolgast must
be tabled as one of the worlds great
est fighting machines he always had
tough time getting any sort of recog-
milton. Perhaps it was an Indifferent
personality and the fact that he
whipped one of the country's idols in
order to gain prominence in his class

WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have Same Effect on Country
Highways as Roller on Plowed
FieId-Wagon Pulls Easier.

The following appeared in recent
issue of Extension News Service"
published by the University OF Ne
braska.
Wide tires build up roads and save
horse labor, according to the depart
ment of agricultural engineering at
the university farm. They have the
same effect upon country road as
roller on plowed field. On the other
hand, the narrow tire cuts up a road
like a disk. 1t has been found by
actual test in this department that
the wide-tired wagon pulls easier in
nearly all cases than the narrow-tired
wagon. In deep mud on country
road the wide-tired wagon pulls 6.2 per
cent easier. On the country road
with q thin surface Of mud or deep
dust however, the narrow tires pull
40 per cent easier. In a cornf1eld
the wide tires pull 30.5 per cent easier.
in q dry alfalfa field 17.7 per cent
easier, and on dry country road 10.2
per cent easier.

for any particular project, where funds
have been or where existing balances
are to be expended.
3. Lack of any systematic prac-
tice in handling road funds among
most counties makes it very difficult
to carry out over even single year
any persistent maintenance policy, be-
cause funds officially obligated for
maintenance purposes are not pro-
tected against sporadic and irregular
drafts for miscellaneous purposes.
The greatest likelihood consequently
exists everywhere that there will be
no balance in the maintenance fund in
the last half or third of the year, al
though only part of the. fund al
lotted may have been spent.
4. Local labor available for main
tenance work is made dissatisfied by
the constant, unintelligent, and I'M
favorable criticism of those using the
road.
5. Maintenance continuing over a
period of years-the ultimate indis-
pensable condition of effective main
tenance-is jeopardized by the lack OF
accounting control that will prevent
spending next years current income
in this year.
6. The lack Of skilled supervision
in construction and the effect of this
in increasing the cost or in making
effective maintenance impossibly ex-
pensive is everywhere seen.
Z. The county authorities are COM
monty opposed to following sugges-
lions for maintenance that involve ty-
ing up road funds in any way, such
as purchasing materials in advance to
store along the road for making re-
pairs or maintaining the road surface.

IL for you to begin to pause in

well, the particular style of good reso-
buttons that it is your firm purpose to

was a popular champion, even in the

WHY SINCLAIR is ADMIRED

According to a story going the
rounds, Garry Hermann, chair
man of the National commission,
and Harry Sinclair, Federal
league "angel' and Oklahoma
oil magnate, elbowed each other
trying to pay the check i'll the
RitZ-Carleton at Philadelphia
after the recent peace confer
ence."
Its on me, take it out of
this" said Garry, fiourishi1g a
brand-new century note.
This way, waiter, that other
gentleman's money is counter
felt" said Sinclair, waving $50
bill.
The waiter was kind enough to
permit Hermann to pay the
freight" Sinclair tossed his $50
note at the waiter, saying:
eff 1 can't buy 1 can do the tip
ping"
Perhaps it is this trait on the
part of Mr.. Sinclair that makes
certain newsp Bper men we know
so anxious to have him remain

ASSIST THOSE AROUND US
New Year Good Time to Remember
the Needy and Struggling Who
Are Close to Home.


All history teaches US that all condi.
lions change and that every war cloud
must eventually pass away. 1t is the
fervent hope and prayer OF all nations
that peace will come with 1916. Mean
while every individual has his own
plans for the new year and they are
usually generous and kindly il pur-
pose; a universal spirit that explains
the CHEEKY hopes for the new year.
True, it has been with many rather
strenuous and exacting time in plan
ming gifts for the ChristEastide out
of the surplus of last year, but they
will be none the less appreciated, be-
cause this years benefactions posi-
bly, represent a greater sacrifice than
those Of years past. Then, too, there
have been heavy claims on American
generosity for funds with which tc
send contributions for the millions OF
suffering, homeless and destitute peo-
pie abroad.
But on New Years day VIC should
look more closely at home, and remem
Der that around US are many that need
help and assistance. There are thou
sands of struggling men and women
that need just now something in the
way of encouragement and inspiration,
to say nothing Of little financial
boost here and there.
The New Year has always been a
popular holiday with me, because the
greeting carries the word happy" and
/ wonder If happiness IS not, after all,
what most of us are seeking. We
work for It; we plan for it and ought
to be thankful when we find it, and
when you say happy you must feel
happy and look happy.
The word happy comes from
hap" and HAP" means chance-good
fortune, and implies peace and joyous
hours. What slender thread be-
tween happy" and ''hapless, and we
feel on this occasion like using Shake
speares greeting, "All happiness be-
chance to thee" We just stop and
look at the word as It stands out by
itself and that is why it seems so ap-
propriate to have little talk on hap
py" when We speak OF the New Year -

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF ROADS
Road Specialists of Department of As-
ricuIture Place Blame for De-
fects in Highways.

When a county builds good road
and soon lets it become rutty, washed
out, or uneven, who or what is prin-
cipally to blame? AS result of a
study of conditions in number OF
counties, road specialists of the de-
partment are inclined to place the re-
sponsibility upon the following de-
fects in road management, some or all
of which are found in all counties
where good roads are not properly re-
paired and maintained:
1. County boards, although having
full administrative authority, appear
not to attach to their official action in
road matters the Importance or legal
effect which it should have.
2. County boards do not generally
have sufficient accounting control of
road funds to know what is available
