PLAY POCKET GOLF
AND DOG-GONE GAME
Drive Into Wagon Drivers Coat
and Putt by Retriever, Fox
$500 -
Hills Freaks.

NEW YORK, June GA. P. Roth, Of
the New York Athletic Club. played yes
terday in the invitation tournament of
the Fox Hills Golf Club. He made his
second shot in his round against F. V.
Sullivan as wagon passed on the road
that crosses the fairway.
Roth saw his ball strike the driver,
but when he got to the road he could
find no trace Of 1t. Finally 1t dawned
on him that 1t might be in the wagon,
and after a long dusty trot down the
road he overlook the rig and found
the ball in the drivers pocket.
J. E. Beck of Thornburg and Henry
Herring Of Scarsdale recounted as odd
an experience when they turned In
their cards. AS they came from behind
the enbankment that guards one OF
the greens they saw a dog fr!sking
toward his master. They suspected the
dog knew nothing about golf. and when
they saw him drop both balls at his
masters feet they knew.
Then Beck and Herring discovered the
man had as little knowledge of the
game. He picked the balls up and be-
trayed his fondness for baseball by
winding himself Up in preparation to
throw the balls back. The Mortified
protests of the players halted his kindly
endeavor. and Beck and Herring got off
with an extra stroke apiece.

SILO INSURES
THE CORN CROP

Most farmers feel more or less
anxiety about the corn crop
this year, but those who feel the
least anxiety are those on whose
farms stand sios. The reason is
simple. The si'o makes it possible
to, save corn that might other
wise owing to- immaturity, be al
most wholly wasted.
The farmer therefore. who has
been thinking of building a silo
should get into action, and the
man who has not been thinking
OF building a slo, should think
and act quickly.
This is not to say that there
is no. hope Of maturing the corn
now growing-not at all. 1t is
to say, however, that the corn rs
much behind time in it's pro-
gress toward maturity, and there
tore in grelter danger than usual
OF being caught by killing frosts
before it is wholly mature. A
silO will prevent total loss.
Rpcal're Q farmers are thinking
"silo' these days the following
points as to silos are worth
keeping in mind:
The walls must be air-tight.
The walls must be smooth in
side.
The best type of silo is round.
The roof should be water
proof.
The structure should be sub
stantial. 1t has to stand much
pressure.
The cost should be from So to
$5 for each ton capacity, provih-
ed the total capacity is to exceed
100 tons.
A silo II feet in diameter and
80 feet high will hold 100 tons.
One hundred tons Of silage

FOOT NOTES.

What do you think of regular army
boots for dainty feminine feet? Sew
eral up to date shoe shops are showing
footgear that would make the front
row of the chorus envious. And all
because of short skirts, so the fashion
oracles tell us. While not many wo-
men will take readily to parading the
streets with hussar boots, still the
ranks of convention are being gradu-
ally broken.
Very high, closely laced shoes of fine
kid in what is known as butternut
shade, a twin sister to sand color, are
very prominent on the shoe shelves.
The same shade of leather is seen
combined with black patent leather in
low oxfords, lacing quite high and
primly directly up the center front.
Side lacings r very popular, shoe
dealers claiming that they give a trim
mer, neater appearance to the foot
than the regulation front lacing.
Sports shoes are also taking new lib
critics of color, for one sees on the fiat
rubber soled shoes of white buckskin
re-enforcements Of brilliant red, green
and blue leather.

) WAYS OF USING TULLE.

Tulle is being extensively used In
both afternoon and evening gowns to
form the new silhouette. Many wom-
en-, especially those of undue plump
ness, object to the Opaque bouffant
lines of the heavier materials and SO
obtain the fashionable silhouette In an
ethereal guise.
A thin girl, however, likes at times
skirts that fall close to the ankle lines,
and she, too, occasionally adopts the
ethereal bouffant lines Of tulle, net,
malines, chiffon, etc. The circular cut
is most liked for the thin materials, but
they may be draped and pouched in
various ways.
Summer evening wraps are numer-
Gus and varied In style. One striking
pink and blue stripe is loosely gather
ed in by a cord-like ribbon at a low
waist line and looks for all the world
like a bath robe.
Very plain frocks for evening or for
NAL afternoon wear are being orna-
mented with a single flower, the soil
tary bit of gayety being at most any
place and at most any angle upon the
gown.
