dents 20 to show just what happens in
championship tournament where
there is very little difference among
the leading ten.
The Luck of the Draw.
There is lot, too, in the luck OF the
draw. To win a championship the
victor must win five 36-hole matches.
Suppose it fell to Evans's lot to meet
Travers, Kirkby, Marston and Gardner
in order. He might beat any one or
any two of these. But beating all four
in succession would be wellnigh hope
less.
Then again there is the proposition
of going against an opponent who
looks to be easy and have said oppp-
neSt romp around in "a or rs. In the
recent New Jersey championship Os-
valid Kirkby drew Henry Seggerman
for his first opponent.
Kirkby had been giving Seggerman
three strokes without any trouble. Yet
in this match Kirkby was around in Is
and still Seggerman had only to make
a 3-foot putt to win on the 18th green.
If that footer had dropped, kirkby,
despite his fine golf, would have been
beaten in his first round without ever
drawing the chance to overthrow Max
Marston in that 40-hole final.

High TYPE OF AGRICULTURE
Thorough Understanding of FertlIiz
ers, Their Nature and Applloa-
tion, Is First Principle.

Dairy farming is the highest type
of agriculture. A farmer of this class
must look for success in the maxi.
mum productivness of few acres.
The successful operation Of such a
GARNER presupposes concentration of
effort and acreage.
A thorough understanding of fertiliz-
ers, their nature and application, may
be regarded as the first principle Of
dairy husbandry,
While the commercial fertilizers are
beneficial, the farmer should strive
TO husband and make more effective
the fertilizers of home production.

Cholera a Germ Disease.

Hog cholera is germ disease and
cannot come as a direct result of the
hogs feeding on new or soft corn. Soft
corn, however, may so improperly
nourish the hog that it's resistance to
cholera germs is lessened and may
therefore easily contract the disease.
In soft-corn years the use of good
conditioner is doubly important.

WILSON'S PEACE MOVE.

President wilson's action in the in
terest of peace. while taken with the
best intention. is not likely to bring
about any immediate results. 1t is
well. however. to be on the ground
ing on the part of one or the other
of the belligerents.
The German proposal and the re-
plies of the entente powers, are far
from pacificatory. Each side appar-
.ently desires to be considered the vic
! tor. and to dictate the terms The
scales of war up to this time are too
evenly balanced to justify such posi-
tion by either. Unless there be a mod
ification in tone there is likely to be
more fighting.
One idea which stands out promi-
nently in the peace exchanges is that
. OF general disarmament There are
enough nations engaged in the war to
bring this about. If it shall be accom-
plished before the United States en-
bark on the military program that is
being urged in certain quarters, the
war will yield this country much
greater returns than it has done in
the way of commercial profits.
With congress moving at its accus-
toned rate of progress, probably there
will be ample time for an international
agreement for disarmament before
Uncle Sam can get on a war footing.
Notwithstanding the official denial
that the Presidents note is designed
to bring about a peace conference, it
can scarcely have any other effect
Nations desirous of ending the war are
''kely to seize upon it for that purpose.

HAVE SMALLPOX SCARE
Two Washburn Football Players Re-
ported Sick With Dreaded Disease.

CITY health officials fear that many
Washburn students on their vacations
may be carrying smallpox germs to
their homes Two cases of smallpox
were reported to Dr. H. L. Clark this
morning and it is feared that there
are more incipient cases among the
students.
school has been dismissed for more
than a week and Friday Dr., James
Stewart reported the case of Arthur
Davis, TIA Branner street, Washburn
football player, who has been suffer-
ing from the disease. Eldon Shoup, a
Washburn freshman. is also quaran-
tined at his rooming house, 1882 Bos-
well avenue.
Both boys attended the Manhattan-
Washburn football game in Manhat
tan Thanksgiving day, and as it is
known that there is smallpox in Man
haitian, the authorities are inclined to
believe that they may have gotten the
disease there. Another hypothesis is
that it was started during the Older
Boys conference. Shoup was an ush-
er at the conference. in which Lloyd
Crick, principal of the high school at
Florence, attended. Crick is now con-
fined at the Topeka pest house. DIR.
Stewart does not believe that the con-
tagion was carried from Manhattan.
as the football boys had no chance to
mix with the townspeople.
No other cases OF smallpox have
been reported to the health officers,
but they are worrying over the posi-
bilities of an epidemic.
