Boys Needed Elsewhere, So
Golfers Should Tote Bags

The war promises to invade even the
sacred precincts of the golf course, and
carrying ones own clubs will be a war
necessity in the near future if the golf
and country clubs act upon the sugges-
tion of Burridge D. Butler state di-
rector in Illinois of the United States
Boys Working Reserve.
Butler believes that the duty of the
small boy lies in other directions than
carrying the bag for the tired business
man, and asks that all boys over six
