FATE OF STYMIE TO
COME UP NEXT SPRING

When the moguls of American and
British golf get together early In the
spring, 1t H. expected that uniform in
ternational rules and standards may be
adopted which will bring the styles of
play in the two countries closer togeth-
er. Golf has developed In America
since its introduction 80 years ago
quite independently of the game In
England. The point of most concern
seems to be a proposed standardiza-
ton of balls and clubs. Whether these
go through or not 1t is certain there
will be some elaboration over the use
OF the stymie and the Schenectady put
ter.

dent authorized him to say that there
will be no precipitate action in re-
turning the railroads to private
ownership.

NEW York; Feb. 28.-Forner
President w. H. Taft has accepted
an invitation to speak on the League
of Nations from the same platform
with President Wilson, at the Metro
politan Opera House, next Tuesday
evening.
In wiring his acceptance of the in
vitation Mr.. Taft, emphasized his de-
sire to make clear that the League
of Nations is not a partisan issue.
That ratification of the League by
the American people through their
Senate is not a matter which should
align either party for or against it,
as there are men supporting it very
earnestly in both Of the great politi-
cal parties; and each party has those
who are as earnestly opposed. Mr..
Taft's acceptance was telegraphed

WASHINGTON. Feb. Ex-senator
Lodge of Massachusetts,, in discuss
ing in the Senate today the League
Of Nations, declared that the con-
stitution of the League discards
Washington's doctrines and adopts
Trotsky's.
Mr.. Lodge said that his criticism
does not extend to all plans for a
League of Nations, however. He
said that there is hardly clear
clause in the constitution, and that
there are in evidence differ
ences Of opioion as to its meanings
on various topics. Within a year
nations will be quarrelling over its
construction. If application of the
constitution extends the Monroe
Doctrine over the entire world, as
contended, then said the Senator
when that doctrine extends to the
world it ceases to exist; that Europe
would have a right to meddle in the
affairs Of America, and America In
those Of Europe.
Mr.. Lodge declared that despite
the Presidents denial the League
constitution gives the League juris-
diction over immigration; and he
asked: care ready to leave it to
other nations whether we shall ad-
NIT flood of Japanese, Chinese and

EXCURSION ON

OF MEXICO ).

i With echoes OF the hospitality OF
Guaymas in their ears the happy ex-
cursionists sought their couches in
the Pullmans, and in the early grey
of the dawn the train slipped silent
mly out from the station, without
awakening soul. When the party
awoke they were in the great Yaqui
delta, speeding toward Esperanza.
the headquarters and seat of opera
tions of the Richardson Construc-
ton Company, the great
LAND AND IRRIGATION
Enterprise which is reclaiming
and bringing under cultivation hun
dreds of thousands of hectares of
some Of the finest and most fertile
lands in the world.
At the station the excursion was
met by Ian Hamilton, representative
of the Richardson Company, who had
in waiting squadron of automo-
biles, into which the party loaded
themselves, and set out for trip
through a part of the great cultivat.
ed domain which lies under the big
canal-to visit it all would require
an entire day or more.
AT ONTAGOTA
The party was entertained most
Hospitality by Mrs. Sexton, a lady
from New York who has made her
home at that place fully quarter OF
a century; and since the death of her
husband, Mr.. Thomas Sexton, some
three or four years ago, she has con-
Quoted the management of large
and profitable farm including some
300 hectares of as fine land as may
be found anywhere under the sun,
level as a floor, and covered with
growing crops, orchards, etc.
With no little pride the lady call
ed attention to about 900 acres of
growing wheat she has coming along
finely, that will be ready to harvest
and take the crop off from the land
in April. Her fine flock of Rhode
Island Red chickens was an attrac-
tive part of the exhibit; and the de-
licious grape fruit in her orchard
came in for no small share of atten-
ton. They are larger and of far
finer flavor than anything that
comes to Nogales from California.
When the crowd left Ontagota each
auto was laden with all the grape
fruit it could carry.
Mrs. Sexton had prepared a
bountiful luncheon, large table be-
ing laden with dainties of various
kinds in great abundance, to which
all did full justice.
Beyond Ontagota the motorcade
sped through the cultivated lands
some miles, visiting

tlons, etc., returning to the railway
at Cajeme, to which station the

between the Yaqui and Mayo
Rivers.
