feel that there is too great a premium
on putting, l, for one, prefer to bear
the ills We have, and keep the game
That has been handed down to u.s. Let
US retain the fascination of the old
uncertainties and try our best to tri-
umph over the cruel fates of the put
ting green. What could we golfers
talk about-and golf is a very CONVEX
sational game when a round is once
ended-if the strange. the freakish
happenings on the putting green we're
taken from US? The missing of short
puts has driven many a man to a con-
dition bordering on insanity and il has
given me many a deep wound, but 1
must confess that 1t adds to the inter-
est OF the game. The picture of a man
measuring a missed two-foot putt is
full of meaning.
These facts being as they are, let us
rirst try to perfect our putting, for IT
Is a part of the game. It is not the
whole thing. however. for golf is a
Dig game played over a long stretch
of country with many big masculine
strokes, and the little performances
on the putting green are only a part
OF It.
For that reason have thought the
unfair advantage given so frequently
to the putter might be remedied by
decreasing the size OF the green's. If
they were. made. say. twenty feet
square COT course no really square
lines are seen on a modern golf
course). the second shot, the "cut"
and push shots would increase in pro-
portion. and the long. 60-foot snaky
puts from the edge of the green
would disappear This would be cal
culated to bring about a more nearly
fair condition than the enlargement of
the cup and would not destroy the
ancient ideas OF the game.
1t would demand extra care OF the
~ NV7 - f.14k
would cut down the expense of the
greens. an expense that has been grow
ing rapidly in proportion to the gen
crosby of the size. I love the old
game. just as II was handed down.
and hope some time to be beaten by
a golfer who does not win his match
on the putting green. Clock golf is
interesting. so is croquet. but neither
call in play the big strokes Of the
game.

Feel That They Cannot Depend
on Peace Officers.
EACH BANK TO Be TAXED
Fund of $4,000 to $4,000 for
War Against Robbers.
Conference in Topeka To Work
Out New Campaign.

Kansas bankers will raise a private
fund OF $25.00O to $4,000 for exter-
mination OF bank robbers. Walter f.
Wilson. state bank commissioner. to-
day announced plans whereby practi-
cally every bank In the state will pay
into common fund a sum equal to 81
for each $1,000 capital OF the bank.
state banks alon are expected to sub
crtbe $4,000.
Many prominent state and national
bankers will come TO Topeka sometime
this week for conference. Plans for
cleanup drive on yeggmen and
hold-up men will be discussed at the
meeting. The fund will be placed at
the disposal OF a Joint committee rep
resenting state and national banks.
Failure OF local peace officers to
run down bank robbers has brought
bankers to a realization OF their own
responsibility. Genuine alarm exists
among bankers, especially in the
smaller towns OF the state where many
bold daylight robberies have been
staged. Now a mammoth fund equal to
one-tenth OF l per cent OF the total
bank capitalization of the state will be
placed in a common fund for employ
ment OF special criminal hunting
agencies.
Losses Arc Tremendous.
Recent revelations as to the extent
OF bank loot has shown that losses
have IN some instances been far in ex-
cess Of amounts reported by bank Of
rcials The arrest last week of men
charged with the robbery of the Bal
leyville State bank in Nemaha county,
revealed more than $s1, 0e0 worth of
liberty bonds in possession of the men
held in Kansas City. Willis ]. Bailey.
president of the bank and former gov
ernor. has identified the bonds as
having been in possession of the
bank. Yet when announcement was
made as to the losses of the bank.
officials told the newspapers that
robbers had taken but $1,000 worth
OF bonds.
Records now show not less than
thirty bank robberies in Kansas since
the first of the year. Losses have ag-
greEated at least $3.50. 900. or slightly
more than a third OF a million dollars.
The situation In Kansas is calling
for action by every banker" said
Commissioner Wilson today II have
talked with officers of the bankers
associations and our plan is to raise
a fund equal to one dollar for every
$1,000 OF the total capital of the
banks. This money will go into
common fund with which to run the
robbers to earth We expect a fund
OF not less than $4,000"

UNCLE WIGGILY AND
The TULIPS.
by HOWARD r. GARIs

Down in Nurse James garden
grew many flowers besides the
roses. Among them we're big tulips.
Best OF all. Uncle wiggily Longears.
the rabbit gentleman. loved q tulip
that was red.
There isn't bit OF sugar In the
bungalow. and unless you get me
some my little tea party win not be
'at all NICE" said Nurse Jane.
It'll go get the sugar at once"
said Uncle Wiggily.
But / must take just one more
look at the red tulip" he said.
So he went into the garden again.
Just then Baby Bunty called to
him:
Uncle wiggily. II you don't hurry
on to the store, 1t will be closed. It's
getting late"
TIL hurry. Baby Bunty."
The store was closed and Uncle
Wiggily could get no sugar.
And 1t was getting later and later.
and he knew 1t must be almost time
for Nurse James company to arrive
and have tea
When Uncle wiggily reached home
he went into the garden His red
tulip had closed up its petals. just
as he had expected. And, as Uncle
Wiggily looked at the red tulip he
heard. coming from it a voice. which
said:
Let me outl Oh. please. let me
outi"
."who are you and where are
your" asked the rabbit gentleman
in surprise.
: II am a buzzing bee and am in
side the red tulip" was the answer.
"I was getting a bit of yellow pollen
to make wax, when the tulip flower
suddenly closed its petals and I'm
caught"
"I'n let the bee out" said Uncle
Wiggily. But I'll do SO very gent
ly. my dear red tulip. I will not
hurt you"
Very carefully Uncle wiggily
opened the red tulip and out flew
the buzzing bee.
Thank you. Uncle wiggily," 1t
said. And then 1t went on: But
why do you look SO sad and wor-
ried?''
Because I forgot Nurse James
sugar. or. rather. / got to the store
too late" was the answer.
"Oh. can easily fix that" said the
bee. My friends will bring sweet
honey for Nurse James tea" And
the bees did. and so everything was
all right, and Nurse Jane said the
honey was better than sugar.
