Uncle Sam Finds Way to
.. Relieve the Car SHORTAGE

While the railway subcommittee of
the National Council of Defense has
not gone so far as to take over the
management OF the railroad, it is
demonstrating what can be accom-
plished by operating them as unit.
The government has taken up some
of the freight traffic problems and it
is said the methods applied have
quickly Strengthened out a tangle.
In Omaha, for instance, 100 car
loads of wheat had been bought for
export to the allies. ItIwas necessary
TO move this train to New York in
quick time in order to catch an out
going vessel. The shipping order was
placed with the Northwestern. 1t so
happened this road did not have on
hand sufficient cars TO handle the ship
ment Immediately. The Union Pacific
had 200 empty cars on sidings in
Omaha. This was called to the at
tention of the government officials
and in less than three hours notice
came to the Union Pacific to turn
over to the Northwestern immediate
ly sufficient number OF cars to
transport the wheat.

Building Jobs Stopped
! By Strike Of Transfers

Whether it Is lockout OF; team
sters, as the transfers union holds,
or fear OF violence by building ma
terial men that prevents team deliv-
cries to be made, the result is the
same, and Omaha building contrac-
tors are either idle on the job or are
using up what material they had on
hand when the teamsters strike was
called. ... II
At the same time some deliveries
are being made by auto trucks, Team
sters make no objection TO this
method Of delivery, as they are not af-
filiated with the auto drivers. Adams
& Kelly are delivering sashes and
doors as usual with the auto trucks.
While the building material men
fear violence to their teams and driv-
ers if they send them on the streets,
the transfer companies, van COM
panies, breweries and grocery people
are out with their teams daily and no
appreciable effort is being made to
modest them.

Golfers Here Enjoy Pastime
Over Some of the Finest
Courses in United
States.
By A. r. GROH,

A golf foursome, arriving at number
green one day, observed farmer
looking over the club grounds fence,
One OF the four conceived the pleas
ant idea OF letting the unsophisticated
country man take drive, The IL. c.,
being invited, accepted. 81 don't
carc'late I'm much good at it, though"
he apologized. He was shown the
flag, $50 yards away on the next
green. He looked at it, swung once
or twice, and then let drive. The ball
scared through the air, landed and
bounced onto the green, where II
rolled to within three inches of the
hole, an astounding drive where par
was 6. The four gazed at the farmer
in amazement. But he only looked
detected.
"Missed it, by gum,' he said.
With that off our mind we will pro-
coed to divulge some information
about golf in and around Omaha.
Six Courses Here.
There are four eighteen-hole
and two nine-hole courses in Omaha.
The former are the Country club.
Happy Hollow club, Field club and
Elmwood park courses, The latter is
municipal.
The nine-holc courses are at Miller
park (municipaD and at Seymour
Lake Country club, Plans are under
way to make the latter all eighteen
hole course. 1t will have a total
length Of 600 yards and will be the
longest golf course west of Chicago,
as we'll as the "sportiest."
A golf course is Sporty when there
are plenty OF hazards like long grass,
water, bunkers, trees and sand traps
to contend with. The Field club
course is considered the "sportiest"
around Omaha now. It is 6,3l2 yards
long, with a par Of "a. The Country
club course is 6,l42 yards long and its
par is u.
The Elmwood Golf club, Miller
Park Golf club, Prettiest Mile Golf
club and Women's Prettiest Mile Golf
club are some of the clubs outside the
regular country club organizations.
Women arc very actively in the
game and the Omaha Women's Golf
association play tournaments every
year and holds competitions monthly.
Golfers Grow In Number.
There are about 1000 golhng fans
in Omaha, and it Is said that 5000
of these have taken up the game and
learned the language of tees and
greens and brassies and drivers and
midirons and mashies and putters and
cleeks and niblicks and midmashies
and approaching cleeks and spoons
and spoon brassies in the last four
years.
There are about forty golf clubs in
Nebraska. Lincoln has the only
cighteen-hole course in the state out
side of Omaha. Like the Omaha
courses, this has also nineteenth
hole"

ers. One of the species met man
at his club and started telling of his
prowess. ..-s

thing | never hoped to do" he said.

who | am, don't your I'm the new
member of the handicap committee"
The man with the wonderful score
was nonplussed; also taken aback.
But he had presence of mind.
"Well, you know who am, don't
you" he replied. why. I'm the
biggest liar in this club"
