LNRANCIS OU1MET, holder of both
the amateur and open titles at one
time, and conceded to be one of the
greatest amateur golfers this country
has ever produced, comes right out to
say that j. Wood Platt. Philadelphia,
will be heard from on the links in the
future.
The local from North Hills knocked
the dope a a-skidding at Oakmont this
year when he turned back Ouimet on
the thirty eighth mole, after the latter
had beaten Chick Evans, the champion
and favorite.
Ouimet, il now seems, was thoroughly
impressed by the carefree manner il
which his youthful opponent played
him in that great match.

which he played that match at Oak
mont. He displayed his worth on tha
first extra hole after ] had halved th'
match on the eighteenth.
Ouimet smashed his first shot on thu
long hole to the green within tifteel

But the local played that shot as h

Farm Bureau Notes
PICNIC


A successful picnic was held in the
grove on the Steward farm. This
farm has an ideal picnic ground. The
big feature of the day was the din
ner. 1t was placed on the table and
the crowd was served cafeteria style.
There was also lemonade, which
was furnished by Col. G. Z. Besse. .
The programme consisted o. music
by the Red Cloud band. After the
concert by the band, Mr.. Steward,
who is president of the Webster
County Improved Live Stock Breed
ers' Association, introduced County
Agent Leader r. E. Holley from Lin
coin, who talked on County Agent
work in relation to Live Stock and
Boys & Girls Club work. Professor
Howard Gramlich, head of the Ami
NAL Husbandry department was then
introduced and talked to the men,
bers of the calf club on fitting and
showing their calves. He gave a dem
onstration, using Mr.. Stewards show
calves. He talked to the Live Stock
Breeders on the value of Organiza-
tion, and gave judging demonstra-
ton, using Clarence Johnston's aged
bull and his junior bull calf, and, Mr..
Stewards senior bull calves and aged
COW.
1t was great treat to have Pro-
fessor Gramlich with us on this occa-
sion. He left the Iowa State Fair
Tuesday evening, rode all night, and
came down from Hastings in a car
in order to be with us on schedule
time.
A ball game between the married
men and the single men was the clos
ing feature of the picnic and was
won by the married men.
This picnic was held in honor of
the 33 members of the Boys and
Girls Calf Club. This is the first
Calf Club in the state of Nebraska.
After we had secured Professor
Gramlich for this picnic, it was
thought best to invite all breeders of
better live stock, and those interest
ed in better live stock for Webster
county. 1t was regretted that all the
bi eeders of Pure Bred Live Stock did
not attend this picnic.
1t is very important that every
county have an organization of Live
Stock Breeders, and every breeder of
Pure Bred Live Stock can we'll af-
ford to spend 8 or days during the
year at meetings of this nature, in
order to get acquainted with his fel.
low breeders. If he can't afford to
take this time off, he had better get
J out of the game.

Do You Want To
Live 400 Years?

Senior Louis ]. Abitia, Mexican
lecturer and philosopher. has come
INTO quite a bit of publicity by an
louncing q new scheme OF longe-
yity. He says man cen live 400
years Just es easy as he now manages
to exist through his allotted three
score and ten. All one must do to
attain the modern Methuse'ah age
is to eat nothing but vegetable food
chiefly raw rice and oats.
The senior seems to have over
looked the fact that the horse lives
upon a diet consisting largely OF
raw oats, few ears of raw corn and
such vegetable rougnage as hay and
straw will give the body. The
horse's bill of fare. according to
the doctrine of Abitia long life, is
ideal for 400 years. But whoever
heard of; a. horse living a tenth of
these years. At twenty Dobbin is a
likely candidate for the Pasture of
Aged Equines.
Until some human being has lived
800 years on raw oats and rice the
rest of mankind will continue doubt
ing the human ebility to do SO.
And why should the human being
want to live four centuries? Es-

Friends ard fellow citizens, the
real goal in human life should not
be the mere selfish collection of days.

Life is Intended for more than

What IL we lived 400 years and at
the end that was the sum total of
our achievement-livi 400 years?
OF what benfiit would that be to the
world? None, absolutely none. 1t
we're better to have lived 40 years of
life crowded with achievement
than to have dragged through 400
Of an existence dedicated to keeping
life in the body.
History has written down name
after name of men who in less than
40 years did more. and greater
things than Methuseiah accomplish
ed in all his hundreds of years.
This does not mean that we
should make no endeavor to live
long; as long as we are useful to
the world. Rather does it mean
that our goal should he something
more and higher than the accum-
ulation of years.
There are men who have lived 400
years in less than so. These are
the men who have ouickened the
stream of progress, civilization, de-
mocracy, humanity, justice, which
has carried a world from the dark
resss cf Methuselah's time to the
brightness of our day.

it's greatness consists in the freedom
