Donald Edwards eliminated Jack May,

Edwards ousted Jesse Guilford, Massa-
chusetts champion, ! up after a Cruel
ling contest in which Guilford set a
course record of II in the forenoon and
gained lead Of four holes.
Anderson, coming from behind when
Ned Sawyer fell Off on the last nine,
defeated the former Western cham
pion, up.
Gallery Follows Sawyer
Most of the large gallery followed
the Sawyer and Anderson match and
saw good golf most of the thirty-six
holes.
Sawyer made the first round in rs to
Anderson's II. For seven Of the third
nine Sawyer shot an even par, but
lost the twenty-third and twenty
fourth holes when Anderson sank long
downhill puts for and a 2, each
under par, both scoring par SO for the
third quarter
From this point Sawyer was off his
gait, coming home with ~ to Ander-
sons 81. Sawyer topped the second
on the twenty-eighth hole from the
rough 10 the creek. and lost the hole
lie halved the next two in par, but
found rough and traps on the thirty
first, and the matcn was square. lie
stayed square on the next hole b. a
nervy 3O-foot sloping putt, after putt
ing his second in a pit. Anderson was
trapped at the next green, and made
his opponent up again, only to square
the struggle on the thirty-fourth,
where Sawyer again went wild. The
Fastener took the lead by pitching 4
14O-yard mashie eight inches from the
seventeenth cup for q birdie 3 and
won the battle by halving the thirty
sixth hole in par 4. His total was 73
for this round, against Sawyer's 70.
Long Driving Contest
The long driving Of Guilford and
Kenneth Edwards drew large gallery
also. Both played excellent golf, Gull
ford scoring 1l-79--150, while Ed
wards made -5-73-143. Guilford did
not out-drive Edwards much of the
way, but his 80, out with three brides,
made him only l up, as Edwards had
81, with par on every hole bat one.
Guilford was one stroke better on
his second nine, with 80, one under
par, with a birdie 3 on the 359-yard
twelfth, and gained three more holes,
despite Edwards 80 having lead OF
1 UP and to play. The last three
holes were 'halved, and the New Eng
lander was eliminated.

SEEK TO SAVE WASTED WHEAT
Farmers Are Cautioned Against Loss
In Handling.

Washington, Sept 22.-Specialists
In Western wheat districts estimate
that 20000000 bushels of wheat and
proportionate quantities of other cere-
ais are annually wasted in harvesting
and threshing. The Department OF
Agriculture in a statement just issued
urged farmers to give special atten-
tion to the adjustment of threshing
machines and to make certain that
none of the grain is lost with the
straw and chaff. Care should also be
taken to harvest all grain in the cor
ners of the edges of fields, the depart
ment announces.
Attention is called to the fact that
one bushel of wheat will furnish bread
for one person for about seventy FIVE
days.
