'.Bn1nyur1d Golf" Issue
DiUides Webb CITY, Is
Too Much 'Hick" Stuff

Webb City, Mo-. Sept. Does
the ancient and honorable game Of
pitching horsesnoes put the "hick'
sign on town and hold 1t up to
public ridicule?
This question has caused row
which has stirred the Webb City
chamber of commerce to its very
depths and has caused the resigna-
tion Of its president, Tom Hayden,
motor dealer and all-around
sportsman.
Hayden was sponsor for some
"barnyard golf" links in vacant
lot in the center of Webb City's
business district. The clang of
old horseshoes against the iron
pegs and the shouts OF the spec
tators when an accurate "heave"
dislodged a humdinger of hub
ber" made more noise along Main
street" than that thoroughfare
had heard in some time.
Neighboring farmers soon began
to look forward to trip to the
"city" with the same expectancy
they did in bygone days when the
tavern put out something which
produced that inward glow con-
ducive to some mean harmony"
later around the hitching stables.
Every four corners hereabouts was
developing a horseshoe
"cbampeen."
But Main street. talked, and !
the uplift element said it made
Webb City too backwoodsy. !"
Finally the town marshal swooped
down on the horseshoe-p pitching |
sports in the midst OF an exciting |
rubber"
Hayden, who weighs nearly
three hundred pounds, arrived just
In time to save the situation.
But when the game was finish
ed, however. he pulled up tho pegs
In disgust and sent in his resigna-
tion TO the chamber of commerce.
Should horseshoes he pitched
along Main street." Ask that
question in Webb City, and you've
bot an argument that's a pippin.

Extension !,
Vocational /
Education

Vocational education will be
carried into the lumber camps and
paper mills OF Oregon this veal
with a view to more thoroughly
familiarizing employees in these in
dustries with trade knowledge OF
their surroundings, according tc
E. E. Elliott, state director for vo-
cational education for Oregon.
During the past year, Elliott
points out in his annual report,
the greatest expansion in voca-
tional education has been in the
field Of agriculture although
homemaking has also made much
advancement. Oregon being an
agricultural state the largest
support Of the state board has
been given to this type Of work,
the report shows. During the year
a total Of S21, ,505.2 20 was expended
in support of Is departments of
agriculture employing 10 instruc-
tors. For schools along the lines
of trades and industries $13,-
447.11 was expended and for home
economies, including both day
schools and part-time and homes
making extension courses, $6,-
1890.
Most of the work of vocational
education is conducted in connec-
tion with the high schools of the
state although provision is made
for adult classes for both men and
women" Elliott explains. I'm
struction Is given along three dis
tinct lines: Agriculture, trades
and Industries and home-making.
The federall aw strictly apportions
the use Of the funds along each
of these lines.
AN effort has been made to
locate these schools, SO far as pos
sible in all counties of the state
although several counties are not
yet included"

ment, in the absence of Ambassador
Shidehara, who is, ILL., By the Japan
csc spokesman China's troubles were
attributed largely to internal causes
with which it was declared the Tokyo
government has no desire to interfere,
much as it desires to see China's
peace and unity" firmly established.
Emphasis was laid on the dependence
of Japan on supply of raw materials
from China, but Baron Kato insisted
that the rule of equal opportunity for
every one must be preserved.
The statement, generally considered
as merely re-iteration of the princi-
pies to which Japan has subscribed in
the past, caused no surprise among
the delegates, because of the previous
ly indicated intention of the Japanese
to avoid discussion of detailed sub
jects until the negotiations are more
advanced. This intention, and Japan's
desire not to open up CLOSED Incl
DENTS" was further revealed in Baron
Kato's closing words:
"The> Japanese delegations under
stands that the principal object of the
conference il to establish in common
accord policies and principles which
are to guide the future actions of the
nations here represented. Although
we are ready to explain or discuss any
problem which in the wisdom of the
conference is taken up, we should re-
gret undue protraction of the discus
sions by detailed Examination of in
Vulnerable minor matters"
Speaking for Great Britain, Mr. Bal
four reaffirmed adherence to the open
door and the policy of Chinese terri
torial integrity, and said his govern
ment is ready to consider relinqui- h
ment Of extra-territorial rights in
China's declaration of principles in the
most favorable light, although details
remined to be examined.
Italy's readiness to help in the free
development of China was voiced by
Senator Schalzer, and there were
general expressions of friendship
and interest in China by Baron de Car
tier for Belgium, Viscount d'Alte or
Portugal, and Jonkheer van Karnebeek
for the Netherlands. The American
delegates made no statement, the
views of this government having been
generally indicated by Secretary
Hughes when China presented her
"ten points at Thursdays session.
Hopes Japs Are Sincere.
Washington-Ch Chinese delegation Of
ficials, commenting on Japan's pro-
nouncement on the Chinese proposals
expressed qualification, but asserted
that Japan previously had declared her
attitude toward China, based on such
principles, .but never adhered to-"
"We hope" one high member of
the Chinese delegation said, Japan
means what she says and will carry
out in detail those principles. 1t may
be that Japan, giving expression to
them before conference of this sort
composed of the great powers. means
what she says"

The Veteran

A nifty bit of rifle. shooting was
performed in the Wimbledon Mach
at Camp Perry by George R. Farr. of
the Washington civilian team. He
won second place with 70 bulls.
That's the information the score
sheets gave. But when you discov-
err that F'arr is 65 years of age, that
he used a service rifle, a service
sight, and Frankford Arsenal ammu-
milton you sit up and take notice.
No one on the grounds-unless II
was Farr-thought he had a nance.
The rifle was issued to him in
the morning of the match and was
used by Farr for the first time in
the Wimbledon. Farr adjusted his
steel trimmed eye glasses and with
the strangest spotting scope you
ever saw he began shooting. 1t
was 4:40 when Farr began and 1t
was dark when he finished. Farr
had never made a possible score
at 1000 yards and when he placed
his goth shot in the black he got
I'D and started to move away
The range officer told him to re-
turn and continue shooting. that
he had a chance to win.
Farr had only brought 20 bull
lets with him so others who had
been watching his shooting handed
him several clips, and from that
moment until he made a four on
his list shot Farr shot as il his
life depended upon it, and while
shooting he did everything that
good rifle shots tell you should not
be done. He raised his elbows.
changed his position time after
time, but none of the changes in
terfered with his shooting. Fairs
run was the sensation of the
matches.
SO impressed were rifemen who
witnessed his shooting that they
purchased the rifle he used. had the
record inscribed upon 1t. and then
presented it to Farr.
