TNHERE is no part of n clubhouse more
l. important than the locker room; Tor
on its proper construction rest the COM
fort of the golfer and the well-betng OF
those priceless possessions. his gof
clubs. Yet there were years in the his
tory Of gclf in this country when the
golf clubhouse meant little more than
shelter and place for light refreshments
The clubs were far out in the country
where the putting up of big buildings
would have been particularly inconNe-
u'ent and expensive.
The cCming of the automobile. how
ever. eliminated many miles OF distance,
and to that degree brought the clubs
nearer the city. and whereas modern
IDEAS and conveniences seem luxuries IN
the country. the nearer one approaches
the city tho more nearly do they be-
come necessities. In very shcrt time
the clubs began to replace the little in-
Gammable buildings with large fireproof
structures. We cannot emphasize too
much the terrible loss entailed by fire
at golf clubs The little tinder boxes nut
up in the early days were constantly
catching fire, and cnce on fire 1t was inn
possible to save them or their contents.
And to golfer the loss OF his clubs was
an irreparablc injury.

Danger! Danger!

Seed corn scarce. Something
must be done, The farmers who
have corn should have it tested
before planting or selling it for
seed. 1t doesn't make any diff.
ference if the corn does look good
it should be tested, and now Is the
time so as to have plenty OF time
to make other tests'or buy.
There has been four tests made
from corn on stalk, shock, shucked
and from the crib not shucked,
