EDDY FINISHES SECOND

MANCHESTER, VT. July 27.-A field of
| liz started in the seventeenth annual golf
tournament for the First Presidents cup
at the Ekwanok Country Club yesterday,
| and Maxwell r. Marston. of Baltusrol with
a steady and consistent round in H. won
the gold medal for low score in the qualify
ing round at medal play.
The course is easily two strokes harder
than 1t was when Marston won the tour
nament a year ago. 1t was evidently due
eighth holes than to the drizze of rain
which fell most of the day that the scor.
ing ran little higher than last year. AT
the first hole, where fours were formerly
the rule and at the eighth, where up to
Monday of this week fours often gave way
to threes fives and skies prevailed.
Marston took three fves in succession
at the start and finished with a five and
six. Otherwise his play was OF a high
cored
c. p. Eddy, who finished In second place,
failed to take advantage of the short holes
going out and showed a total of AZ for
nine holes. He played the last nine in two
strokes above par, however, and finished
with a card of 10. There was a tie at 90
among six players to fll five places in the
first division. Some of those who created
surprise by failing to qualify were W. H.
Gardner, of Buffalo, who was Funner-up at
Shawnee last week; Ralph C. Carroll, of
Knolwood, and Alex Coles, of Shawnee
Gardner and Carroll were just outside at
81 while Coles required a total of "a. The

taken by this auxiliary will be the
! supplying of needed articles to the
boys of Co. D. Mayor Sweeley. presi-
dent of the Co. d association, has ex-
pressed himself as heartily in favor
OF this movement, and has pledged the
support of the association.
Kits to contain various toilet arti-
cles are to be made in the near future
and sent to Co. d. During the next
week barrel of canned fruit is to be
sent, and later other boxes of fruit
and jelly will be sent. Anyone who is
willing to contribute is asked to bring
the fruit to Hickler's Cash Store
where it will be packed Fruit should
be in quart jars. For health reasons
the boys have been ordered not to eat
fresh fruit, so the canned fruit will
certainly be welcome.
Various hospital supplies will also
be prepared under the direction of Red
Cross authorities and sent to head
quarters. If there should be interest
and demand classes in first aid NAV
be formed.
1t is not the purpose of this or
ganization, however, to do work only
while the national guard may need as
sistance. The work of the Red Cross
is as useful in times of peace as in
war 1t is not necessary to dwell up
on the admirable work done by the
organization in other communities. 1t
is hoped that in Twin Falls much may
be done to bring about better sanitary
conditions, and to raise the standards
OF health as well as to help in any
emergency.
An urgent appeal is now made for
members. Membership may be obtain
ed by payment of one dollar. Funds
so received will be used for relief work
undertaken by the society. Surely in
Twin Falls there should be a large and
active membership in this most wor-
thy organization. Anyone who de-
sires to join is requested to notify
one of the officers.

work on the road to the west of the
city has been discontinued and moth
ing further will be done until next
year, says County Commissioner Carl

laid from gravel obtained from the

withstand the heavy traffic now on
