Two of the most brilliant Of the pros,
Gil Nichols and Jock Hutchinson, have
most OF their trouble around the pin.
Nichols has fine putting streaks, and
when these are under way he is almost
unbeatable. But his putting is erratic.
Hutchinson is only an average putter,
this being the only uncertain feature
Of his play.
Three years ago Jim Barnes was
playing about as we'll as he is now.
But he was then an Indifferent putter.
In the last year or two bis putting has
improved immensely. and with this i'm
provement has come his success.
Where Tommy Mcnamara takes an
upright stance on the green, Barnes,
who is tall and lanky. leans we'll over
the ball, but achieves the necessary re.
suits. Here and there he may fall

Number One


For steady, consistent work with the
putter. year in and year out, the pro-
fessional leadership goes TO Tommy Nc
Namara, one OF the star Homebreds.
Mcnamara isn't q long hitter, and he
doesn't belong to the slashing, brilliant
type.
But few can handle q nashie any bet
ter, and none Of them can master
Tommy within putting distance Of the
cup.
Mcnamara has always been a high
class putter. He has very seldom fallen
below a high degree Of skill in this de-
partment of the game, whether il be in
the long approach puts or in the
shorter ones nearer the cup.
In 1915. when Trayers won the open
az Baltusrol. Mcnamara came within q
stroke OF catching the winner, and,
while his entire play was good, artistic
putting was the leading feature, as the
Homebred wasted no futile strokes on
the green.

COOPER BARN BURNS

A large barn on the farm of Joe
Cooper, four miles east of Pullman,
was completely destroyed by fire
Tuesday morning. The cause of the
fire is supposed to have been the
combustion of large quantity of
hay stored in the loft Forty tons
OF hay, 200 sacks of oats and so
sacks of seed wheat, held over from
last year, together with IA sets of
new harness and numerous smaller
articles, were destroyed, although all
of the live stock was saved. The loss
is estimated at over $4,000, with
$1,000 insurance on the barn and
$500 on the contents. In response
to telephone call for help large
number of Pullman citizens hurried
to the Cooper farm to assist in keep
ing the flames from spreading to
other buildings.

mo Married Men, Third Call Due

number of the men certified from
the first call will be exempted under
the new order of events. This will
leave shortage in the total number
required of this county, probably
necessitating third call of several
hundred registered men.
In official instructions to the ex-
emption boards Governor Lister says
in part:
The President has now taken the
position that heads of families ought
not to be taken for military service,
where so doing will put wives to the
necessity of supporting the family, or
in other words, of going to work as
wage earners.
The practical effect of the order
is to exempt the majority of married
men, while up to the present the
test has been upon whether or not
the taking of married man would
leave dependents upon charity"
The governor indicates, as the only
exception, that married men whose

In all probability Whitman
countys draft quota of 294 men for
the new United States army, with an
added 10 per cent to replace those
discharged later for various reasons,
supposed to have been filled by the
second call for 300 men. will fall con-
siderably short when the county ex-
emption board, upon instructions
from Governor Ernest Lister. re-
considers the exemption claims of all
those certified men whose wives
would have to go to work when the
husband is taken away. The policy
of the Whitman county board, as
well as the boards in practically all
of the exemption districts. was to ex-
empt only those married men who
had children and a considerable

SCARCITY OF MEN
HAMPERS HARVEST
Employment Bureau Experiences
Difficulties in Finding Men for
Harvest WcFk-CitiZens
Ready 10 Help

Some of Pullman's city loving cit
liens may be called upon to make
good their offer of assistance in the
harvest fields of this vicinity unless
the labor situation which developed
this week is cleared within a day or
two through the arrival of transient
harvest help. With eight or 10
threshing outfits already operating
and two or three more getting ready
to start, Pullman this week expert
enced her first labor shortage diff
ficulties, and on Wednesday and
Thursday from 5 to 20 men could
have been placed in harvest crews
had they been available. A hurry
up call for men from Colfax brought
only four that city experiencing the
same difficulty in securing reliable
men as Pullman.
Up to this week the local employ
ment bureau, maintained by the
chamber of commerce and the Pull
man branch of the county security
league, had experienced no difficulty
in securing plenty of help. 1t is OK
pected that the condition will clear
itself through the arrival of tran
silent harvest help, without serious
handicap to any of the outfits, but
if it becomes necessary the Pullman
citizens will be called upon to make
good their promise of assistance and
take to the fields them selves to ia
cilitate the harvest of the crop.
Among the threshing outfits al
ready operating are those of {. j.
Krous. w. w. Robertson, NJ. De
Young. Charles Stirewalt, Fallquist
Bros, ]. B. Glover, Costin Bros, and
Naffzigger Bros. Charles Vollmer
started yesterday, E. +. Snyder ex-
pects to start today or tomorrow and
Lewis Wayman will start operations
Monday.
Yields reported by farmers this
week bear out the prediction that 20
bushels to the acre will be the ap-
proximate average for this vicinity.
While some yields as high as 30
bushels have been reported, many
reports are coming in of yields as
low as Is and Is bushels.
Prices charged for threshing vary
from l2hc to sc per bushel.
Fewer outfits are in the fields TINS
year than for several years past but
it is expected with the light yield
that they will be able to complete the
harvest in as short or shorter time
than under normal conditions.
The arrival of 10 men from Col
fax yesterday cleared the situation
to a considerable extent. although
more could be used to good ad-
vantage.
