OIL Dealers Only

Last week in announcing the
opening of the Standard Oil Com
pany's, station in Baxter The
News did not intend to say that
the company would deal in fuel
and coal, and in fact did not say
so but the language was some
what ambiguous and a few people
got the impression that the
Standard intended to compete
with local fuel dealers.

"A GOOD NAME" ETC.

The announced system Of numbering
the national guard units as integers
of the big army has it's bookkeeping
uses Of course and finds dead level
for the service; but it loses much that
belongs with state pride and destroys
in many instances tradition and his
tory which make for sodierly pride
and effectiveness. Iowa, belize, desires
to see her regiments go in under the
Iowa designation. The members Of the
different regiments will anxiously de-
sire to retain their distinctiveness as
Iowans. And that is true of every state
and certainly true Of regiments that
have been long in existence and carry
their records with justified pride.
Best known perhaps, of the British
troops are the Black Watch and the
Gordon Highlanders. Back of them
are traditions and standards of action
set by long and magnificent service
which members of those famous or
CARNATIONS maintain with their lives.
There were regiments in the civil war
in both armies with records that root
ed them against defeat. Individuals
and organizations find in an honorable
record and a distinctive opportunity
incentive to effort and strength to
maintain against odds whether in
peace or in war. IT,.

PRESIDENTS, popuLAcE AND GOLF.

Sioux City man had the great and
glorious feelin of playing golf with
the president-that Is he played on the
same course and got out of the presi-
dents way when he came up behind.
However, as this person describes
the presidents game it would cost Mr.
Wilson in certain circles Just 45 cents
for every nine holes he played in that
company. This Sioux City person says
the president hits the ball crack and
starts after it before it has gone forty
feet, seems to be playing for the ex-
ercise rather than to get the ball into
the hole, etc. Indeed the description
fits certain players common here and
there who have similar characteristics
and customs in the ancient and honor
able game.
There be those on every golf course
who hit the ball and follow in irnr1e-
date pursuit, whose every effort seems
to be to increase their score who pre-
sent broad and f1eeting back to those
who are to drive after them and sail
thru the course like a meteor. The
pity Of 1t is that these are not presi-
dents and immune from contumely and
cuss words. Then there is the fellow
who thought you were far enough so
he couldn't reach you" and pegs one
past your shrinking body like French
seventy five or bombs you with his
mashie Add to the list those who
prance about the putting green and
canvass their misfortunes while you
putt and that other contingent that
shouts loudly to each and another
with a brassie. They ought to be
presidents or something too as a pre-
caution and for safety first. To these
might be added the foursome and per-
haps then some which, intent on a
nickel a hole holds back twosomes and
threesomes as sturdily as the French
at Verdun withheld the Germans.
| Now that the president is reported
| to peg the ball and leap after 1t like
the boat on the bounding billow those
| imitators will take further heart. IT.
a pity the Sioux City man told about
it. That sort Of publicity should be
elaborated by Mr.. Creel and fed out as
we can stand 1t.
