LOW SCORES COME TO GOLFERS
WHO PLAY GAME RIGHT AND NoT
TO THOSE WHO TAKE CHANCE,
Better Scores Will Come Later, if Players w;
Play the Game According to Proved
Principles, Says Evans
By CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS. Jr.

TT HAS long been a golf theory Of
L mine that the easiest time to correct
| faults is the beginning of each season,
and I recently had this idea confirmed
by a noted teacher Of psychology, who
is also golf fan,
The reason. he said, is that every time
an act is performed certain way an
/ impression or sort OF path is made In
the brain The next time the action Is
done in that way the impression or the
path Is dccpened And when one con.
| stantlv performs the act in this way
habit is established. II this chances TO
he bad golGnG habit it takes the eN-
ercisc Of viii power to overcome it.
Forming New Habits
But. my professor friend explained,
there is natural tendency for the
pathways so established in the brain to
he erased by time II the act is continued.
So when golf is suspended for a period
Of six months and taken up again at
! the opening Of the season the brain Is in
the best possible condition to form new
golf habits and methods.
So YOU see we have i'm this case golf
experience confirmed by science That's
why | advise ali my readers to think
over their little weaknesses Of last year
and start out right now correcting them
Another thing it is well for golfers to
bear in mind at the start Of the season
is that he will get much better scores
later on if he is willing to sacrifice a
few matches now and play golf accord
ing to its proved principles rather than
to struggle for low scores and sacrifice
accuracy placement. correct swing, etc,
in a struggle to win his match

FAKE EVANGELIST ARRESTED.
Bogus Preacher Who Married Woman
and Disappsarsd II CAPTURED,

and Disappeared 10 Captured.
= Centerville, Feb. 12.-Oficers have.
for the past few weeks. been conduct
ing diligent search for Rev" r. Z.
Ward, Of Moulton. an evangelist" and
said to have also posed as q Baptist
preacher" He has been located at
last, and officers in the town where he
is reported to be, have been wired to
arrest him at once and hold him, TAX
ing no excuse.
Ward came to Moulton several
months ago. where he held services
and was well respected in the COM
munity, and, in fact, impressed people
generally as being a man with only
high ideals and a desire to be of use
to his fellow men in leading them
along the path of righteousness.
In the course Of time he seems to
have developed special interest in Il
Mrs. Huffman, Of Moulton. and this
interest grew into a friendship and
later into marriage. Some time after
the marriage the trouble began.
One day several days ago the Rev.
Mr.. Ward came UP missing. 1t is also
reported that $500 Of his wife's
money is also missing. With all con-
fidence 1t seems that she allowed him
to have charge Of at least a good por-
ton of her financial affairs. and that
he had access to her bank account.
After his continued absence had con-
WINGED her that all was not we'll, she
turned the matter over to county at
torney <Greenleaf and Sheriff Georse
Elgin Since then the search for the
missing man has been constant.
