ALL golf roads are leading TO Shawnee
Athis week and by train and motor scores
Of Phnadelphians are hustling for the
charming course above the Delaware water
Gap While il is a tournament that at
tracts golfers from every section OF the
country. It Is essentially a Philadelphia
tournament, and ever since IT was hrst
held five or six years ago the bulk OF the
prizes have been brought to Philadelphia.
This year there will be no prizes, but in
stead there will he medals awarded and the
winners and runners-up in the two flights
will have the pleasure Of giving a sum
equivalent to the prize to the Red Cross or
any war fund that may appeal to them.
The shawnee course Ike that at Pine

Of an individual. Years ago c. G. Worth

had nine-hole course near the present
Buckwood Inn. and one Of the prizes which
George Crump values most Ia cup he
won there years and years ago.
The course itself Is built IN part around
the big hotel and the start and finish are
right at the hostery But most Of the
course Is on the island separated from the
mainland by the Binniekill OF the eight
cen holes five are near the hotel and the
others are on the island with the famous
Binniekill hole with the tee on the island
and the green on the mainland and nothing
between but the stream.

GRAIN MEN AT KANSAS CITY
Farmers, Educators and Dealers From

Kansas City, Aug 23.-To consider

Mississippi Valley and Rocky Noun
tain states, called by David F. Hous-
ton, secretary Of agriculture, met at

sided over by DR.. Raymond A Pear
son, assistant secretary of agriculture

PRESIDENT PLANS
MORE PRICE FIXING
Holds 3-Hour Conference Witt
Federal Trade Commission
On the Subject.
WILL FIX A DEFINITE POLICY
Coal and Steel Costs Were the Prin
cipaI Matters Under Discussion
During Long Session.

Washington, Aug. 23.-At' a 3-hom
conference with the Federal Trade
Commission today President Wilson
took up the whole subject of wal
prices and went over in detail the
commissions figures on production
costs. Most of the time was given tic
a study of the commissions report
just completed on the cost of produc-
ing steel
Further measures to control the coal
industry came in for discussion and il
was learned later that last nights or
der fixing a scale of prices for coal
at the mouth of the mine for the en-
tire country will be followed closely
by others designed to give the gov
eminent a completet control of the in
dustry, from mine to consumer.
In Long Sessi on.
The President went to the trade
commission offices at o'clock and
remained until 6. He found Commits
sioners Davies and Colver there and
the conference began. Before it had
gone far the commissioners called in
Secretary Bracken and experts who
have handled the cost accounting
work. Together they explained to the
President details of reports on coal
steel, copper and other basic matters
and outlined the work accomplished
in getting production costs on a mum
Der of materials in which investiga-
tons have not been completed.
For several days now the President
has given his attention almost entire
ly to the work the Federal Trade
Commission is doing. Officials with
whom he has consulted are of the
opinion that a definite price policy
will be formulated in the very near
future. Coal probably will be finally
disposed of first and steel next.
Hard to Fix Steel Prices.
The trade commissions steel inNes-
tigation revealed that it will be al
most impossible to fix a price for steel
as was done in the case of coal Vary
ing costs in different plants make it
impracticable, it is said, to make a
flat price and, too, costs are contin-
ually changing. The plan most fav--
ored by trade commission members is
one under which the government
would determine the cost of produc-
ing definite orders and would pay
fair percentage of profit on each
order

TO USE PENIIENTiARY FARM
Board Of Administrations Desionates
land Near Lansing AZ Detention
Place for Womeu.

Under tie new raw women convict
ed of crime must be detained at the
state Industrial farm for women
Only those convicted in the district
courts may be sent to the detention
home. Women sent to this institu-
ton under twenty-five years of age
may be paroled at any time, but those
above that age must serve at least
the minimum time, which is one year.
The new law provides for a superin-
tendent and other officers for the
women's industrial farm, but under
the arrangement just put into effect
Mrs. Julia B. Perry, the matron, will
be in charge
Kansas is the only state in the
Union that maintains a farm home for
women convicted and sent to the peni-
Tertiary. 1t probably is the only penal
institution in the world where its
women convicts are housed and cared
for on model farm a mile away from
the prison gates.'
The state board of administration
has designated temporarily the peni-
Tertiary farm where twenty-one wom-
en- prisoners are kept, as the state in
dustrial farm for women This state
farm, with a twelve-room residence,
is located about one mile west of the
penitentiary at Lansing.
Under a law enacted by the last ses-
sion of the legislature a detention
home, or state industrial farm, was
provided for. When located the farm
must contain not less than 160 acres
An appropriation of $4,000 was made
to buy the farm and erect suitable
buildings and cottages. Because of
the high cost of material that would
enter into the construction of suitable
buildings, the board of administration
decided to temporarily house the wom-
en- convicted of crime in the house
now occupied by the women inmates
at the penitentiary
