However, Jones is not the only youngs.er

champion of his commonwealth" C. Mer-
Ger McCrum, rental agent for the Empire
building and the Ridgely apartments, as

Jr.. is the name of the golfer, and he is
just 10 years old. Last week, in Lexlng-
ton, Paxton led the field in the annual
state meet, thereby winning the state
title for the second successive year.
His rise reads like the phenomenal as
cent of an athlete in fiction. At 70 years
Paxton served in the capacity OF caddie
for w. II. Palmer, Jr, of Richmond, who
was then the champion. Five years later
Mr.. Palmer was humbled by the kid who
had caddied for him.

THE dining car service of the great

deficit said L. Sewer. general agent
of the Southern railway. yesterday. ITO
offset some of this loss someone sug-

orally in practice.
1T was with some surprise that I
read recently that the adoption of this
plan had netted the Pennsylvania rail-
way and the New York Central lines
over 100000 year. each. 1t would be
a matter of conjecture to state how
much the 10-cent charges mean in ag-

feature. the dining car service il the
