DELIBERATION ON GOLF LINKS
USUALLY IS QUITE PROFITABLE
Its Main Result Is to Hold Up Other Golfers
Rather Than to Increase Skill of
Slow Movers.

30 Quickness was aided. Their. was the
'ule that you must play the ball where
it lay and that saved many a minute
of looking up the golf dictionary to
see il some lawyer had sent in sam
pie case for a previous arbitration; and
there was the added fact that the man
who could play the fine shots with the
least apparent effort and the greatest
speed was considered the golfer king.
The years brought traps, deep bunk
ers and difficult undulating green's. and
it became n matter of real necessity for
little more care to be exercised before
the shot. But we have had this condi-
tion before us for number of years,
and there is no adequate reason why

play along with little waste of time.
In the afternoons play of the last
round of the open championship some
Of the spectators were amazed at the
speed Of the two leading golfers. At
only one tee, the seventeenth, did Mr..
Travers wait for an appreciable length
of time before driving, and this was not
because he himself had not made up his
way. That round should be an object

for when was there a greater need for
caution or seeming deliberation than In

player extremely deliberate in his
play in matches happens to be success
iul he should not take too much credit
to himself: perhaps it was his lazy play
which put his opponent Off and made

GERMANS DO NOT

Correspondent Finds Untrue Reports That

Thievery and Destruction.

correspondence of Associated Presses. }
Berlin, Feb. 23.-An Associated Press
correspondent who has visited recently
a dozen or more French villas and cha
teaux which now serve as staff head
quarters for various corps or divisions
of the German forces found that reports
of theft and destruction of property in
these French homes were not true. In
all OF these places, without an excep-
ton, the carved woodwork. Oriental
rugs. marbles and pictures testifying to
the wealth and taste of the recent own

'sIf we are to continue in the

believe we are" says Professor
w. r. Dodson, Director of Eek
pertinent Stations, Louisiana State
University, 1--WE must select our
best land for that purpose, land
especially well adapted to cane.
On the other lands we must plant
diversified crops, such as oats,
corn and hay, 20 that we may not
have to purchase these farm ne
cessitles from the proceeds OF the
sale of cane The drain of hav
ing to purchase most of the feed
stuffs used on the farm must be
stopped. Improved machinery
for cultivating and harvesting
must be installed and the cost of
production cut down. Finally,
live stock must be grown, as they
form an integral part of the sys
ten Of diversified farming. The
manure must 60 on the land that
is to produce the money crop;
and the live stock will aleo sup

A GOOD THING.

The industrial department OF
the NJ X. ~ 7. reports that
through the efforts of Fred l..
Wenner, Secretary Of the Com
mercial Club, and j A Farquhar
son, County Farm Agent for 10
gan County, monthly sale day
for farmers bas been inaugurated
ut Guthrie. oklahoma A unique
feature is the provision for sale
day for farm women
The following account Of the
frat sale day ia given III Mr.. Far.
quharson's weekly report:
"Today was the frat monthly
sales day of farm products. 1t
was n great success. Notwith
standing the very disagrceable
weather The farmers were out in
great numbers and had for sale on
the auction corner everything
from an old seythc blade TO fine
pedigreed stock. Horses, cattle,
hogs aud farm implements all sold
at very satisfactory prices, and
changed hands from the man who
did not need them to the one who
did Everything had to be guar
anteed from the seller TO the buyer
to be al represented The man
without money could buy provid
ed the amount of tho purchase
was ten dollars or more and his
note was good at the banks
''In the ladies' and girls de
partment, conducted by the La
dies Auxiliary to the Farmers In
stltute, there was for sale a great
variety of stuff sueh AZ fancy sew
ing, cooked foods, dressed chick
ems, canned fruits, butter, eggs
and farm made sausage Every
thing in this department sold for
the price asked and the supply fell
far short of the demand.
"lhls scheme of bringing The
buyer and seller together is some
thing we have been planning here
for nearly a year aud this IL the
first try out on large scale. 1t
has been successful beyond our
expectations"
Why can't we start such a.
movement 1t would benefit every
one. 1t brings the farmers into
town and gives them cash with
which to patronize the local mer
chants. The right kind of adver
Using by the merchants, proceed
ing the sale day, would result in
stores, shops and mills being
crowded by farmers and their
wives eager to secure the bargains
offered. On the other hand il
would give the town people a
chance to purchase many home
made articles of quality and
freshness hard to secure other
wise. Let's start something.
