The Long Drive.

Long driving seems to be the goal OF
most golfers Whether or not it Is
necessary to success is subject I have
written on in previous articles and
doubtless all of my readers know my
views.
That height is vital factor in long
driving is an idea quite generally en-
tertained while there is a difference
in opinion as to the length and subtle
ness of the shaft which should be
used on the driver.
I ran across an article in an old
magazine short time ago in which a
writer had made a careful study. of

FATE OF PROHIBITION
Act To Be Argued in the Supreme
Court November 20.

Court November 20.
Washington. Nov. 1.-THE fate of
wartime prohibition will be argued in
the supreme court November 20, Chief
Justice White announced today.
Breaking all speed records for court
procedure, the court today stated that
the motion of the government and the
liquor interests to advance the appeal
from the decision of the federal court
at Louisville, declaring the wartime
act unconstitutional. had been granted.
A decision by the court is not ex-
pected for a month after the argu-
ments. and that is much shorter time
In the Louisville court, the Ken
lucky Distilleries & Warehouse com
pany obtained an injunction restrain
ing the government from prohibitin e
the removal of liquor from bond and
the court declared the enforcement of
wartime prohibition was unconstitu-
tional, because the act had expired.
Should the supreme court accept
this view, the Immediate effect would
be lifting of the wartime ban, wheth-
er or not the president has proclaimed
peace or the army has been demobil-
lied completely. If the high court
overrules this, only presidential action
can lift the ban.
The supreme court concurred in the
views of both the government and
liquor interests that so much was in
volved financially the case demanded
immediate consideration.
The liquor interests are attacking
the wartime act on the ground there
is a probability, unless the supreme
court acts. that wartime prohibition
will be extended until constitutional
prohibition becomes effective January
16, 1920. - Gt
This would make the $1,000, 900 gal
Ions of bonded liquor, valued at
$75,000,O00, practically a total kloss
the liquor interests claim, and the gov
ernment would be depriving them of
property without just compensation.
They are banking largely on the fact
that congress intended to give them a
year to dispose of their stocks,
since constitutional prohibition under
the amendment, is delayed twelve
months after its ratification by thirty
six states.
A favorable decision to the vets by
the court would mean a revenue of
$441, 100000 in liquor taxes for the
government.

conclusive that the deciding factor in
distance is not height.

New York.-It may be that the tide

to the great agricultural sections Of
British North America will be checked,
II not entirely stopped, through the
realization Of those who would culti-
vate farms In regions where the sum-
mers are brief and the winters long
and very bleak. that In our own far
northwest virgin soil In abundance can
be found, and only awaits development
and possibly better transportation.
For already reports are reaching New
York that a movement is under way
In the far northwest which gives prom
ise of so greatly and rapidly increasing
as to Justify the use Of the term for
merly familiar in the agricultural sec
tions, "Iand BOOM" Certainly such
a movement is under way In South Da-
kota, where the citizens have taken
heed of II and are rejoiced, but little
notice Of II has occurred elsewhere.
More and more eagerly those who are
seeking new lands are penetrating
South Dakota In the hope of securing
some.
Demand has begun, and that has
been followed by the inevitable in
crease In price. Nevertheless, the price
has not deferred those who are anxious
TO buy land, and all the indications
point TO a considerable, perhaps very
great, enlargement of agricultural in
dustry In that E,ate which liz Of great
area and also rich, in natural re-
sources. Two pr three years ago had
Il been reported that land In Central
South Dakota had been sold for 500

have been spoken Of as rejecting a
brief and incidental land speculation.
Now reports which have come from
that state tell OF sales OF land In Cen
trail South Dakota for as much as 500

Much OF this land Is virgin soil, al
