Official of Western Golf Associa
ton Has Brilliant Scheme
to Offer.
BY "GlLL"

A solution of the tournament golf
problem in this country may be found
in the scheme OF an official OF the
Western Golf association, who recon-.
mends a third association within the
national body similar to the Western
and Eastern, placed on the Pacific
coast. Under the present government
of golf in America the tournaments
are distinct affairs. The Eastern and
Western associations hold their
championships, then the national
body, respective only of the handicap
limit, opens competition to the coun'
try. The Eastern association is
small compared to the territory COW
cred by the Western, which includes
everything west of Pittsburgh to the
Pacific coast.
A complete revision of the present
tournament system would be neces'
sary, according to this officials plans,
making three sectional championships
instead of two. These three being di.
rectly contrbutory to the National,
and placing the scene Of the big cham
pionship alternately in the east, west
and Pacific coast sections. ,.,,

Solution of Tournament
V Golf Problem Offered

i, Then the squabble between the
| western and its subsidiary Pacific
coast division over the special train
offered by the coast people for play
ers in this section who would attend
the tourney at Del Monte, CAL, could
be laid away forever by an assessment
plan whereby every club associated
with the u. s. G. A. would pay a tax
which would be used to defray ex-
penses to the national championship
of the medal Qualiticrs in the Eastern.
Western and Pacific coast sectional
championship tournaments. BY this
plan a more comprehensive champion
ship could be arrived at than has ever
been seen in this country. ....
AS the championships now are
staged there arc Il couple of them
in the east. TO satisfy the howls Of
the westerners it is moved as far
west as Detroit or Chicago occasion
ally. Then it shifts back to the cast
again. s2*
When the National is held in the
east nearly a majority of the entrants
are fasteners, a handful goes from
the central district and a couple from
the Pacific coast. The east is over
represented, the central district is UNI
der-represented and the coast country
is represented not at all, comparative
ly. This hardly tends to bring about a
fair decision of the national amateur
golf championship, which should have
every district in the country fully rep.
resented by its best players.

WALTON COUNTY
To VOTE BONDS

Walton county is preparing to vote
upon an issue of 100000 of 5 per
cent bonds for road and bridge i'm
provement. The county has a bond
issue now outstanding of about $751;
600, bearing 6 per cent interest. The
saving to be made in the interest as
between the 5 per cent and the 6 per
cent bonds will go into sinking fund
for the purpose of retiring the old
bond issue when it falls due, thus en-
failing no great loss to the county
in taking care of the whole situation.
1t is believed the proposed issue viii
pass at the coming bond election. An
effort is to be made to vote a $4,000
bond issue in July to take care of

NOTED HOTEL
HAS BEEN SOLD

The Hotel Chautauqua, one of the
best known hostelries in the state,
has recently been sold to Mr.. w. B.
Harbeson. The new owner expects
to take charge of the property about
December LIST next, when he will COM
mence the work of completely reno
waiting and greatly improving the en-
tire building.
Those in a position to know pre-
dict that at least SIS, 900 will be spent
by Mr.. Harbeson on improvements to
be made in the building alone. 1t is
safe to estimate that not less than
$4,000 will be spent in refurnishing
the hotel, which has seen service for
forty years and housed some of the
leading entertainers of the world.
It would be hard to find a hotel
anywhere in the south which has had
better run through nearly a hall
century than the famous old Hotel
Cautauqua at DeFuniak Springs. II
has had a number of managers from
time to time, but it has always en-
joyed good patronage and has had
among its guests many of the wealth
lest and many of the most illustrious
citizens to be found on two CONT
rents. Now that one of the most
modern and most beautiful hotels OF
the south is to be the outcome of the
reputation which this celebrated ole
building has built during its long
years of public service, the town anc
all this section of the country will re.
joice to know.

WALTON COUNTY
IRISH POTATOES
MATURED CROP BY FIRST OF
APRIL ACCOMPLISHED BY E.
w. THORPE.

Mr.. E. w. Thorpe, treasurer of the
Walton Land and Timber company,
grew a crop of Irish potatoes in his
garden at DeFuniak Springs which
was matured by April LIST. He says
he planted the potatoes shortly after
Christmas and that owing to the cold,
rainy weather which followed he
thought for while they would not
come up.
During the latter part of January,
however, they came up and grew very
rapidly until the latter part of Feb
ruary, when they commenced to
bloom. At that time the potato bugs
made their appearance and he com
menced spraying to eradicate the
bugs little later he noticed that the
potato tops were dying. Thinking
they were dying from too much
spraying, he discontinued the spray
The potatotop continued to die until
about the first of April when he de-
cided to dig up bunen and see if
there were any potatoes. To his
great surprise he found a full cror
of real beauties. The tops were dy.
ing solely because the crop was ma.
tured and ready to be gathered.
In any country where such thing
is possible, especially during a hare
winter such as the last one was, there
is no need of any lack of a plentiful
yield of Irish potatoes any year BY
