she planted the Ohio tree on the as

famous trowel has just returned from
Canton, o., and South Bend, Ind,
where it had been used for memorial
tree planting at the tomb of William
Mckinley and along the Lincoln high

the troweI was sent to Chicago for the

COLTS ORIGIN IN HOLLAND?
Contention Is Contrary to Popular BE.
Iief-Game is illustrated in
Ancient Book.

Contrary to popular belief, golf
seems to have been played first in
Holland. One of the most ancient
and interesting of the pictures in
which the game is portrayed is the
tailpiece of an Illuminated Book of
Hours made at Bruges. The play
ers are three in number and have
but one club apiece, and evidently
they play with a ball each.
The feature which gives this pic.
ture a peculiar interest is that all
the others show the game on ice, the
putting being at a stake, while in
this Book of Hours" they are put
ting at hole in the turf, as in our
modern golf.
1t is uncertain at what date the
game was introduced into Scotland
but in 1857 its popularity had be-
come so great as to interfere with
the more important pursuit of arch
cry.

a one-cushion shot. He excels over
the other players on a dead ball.
Willie's power of concentration is
remarkable. During a game the world
does not exist beyond the limits of
the brass rail surrounding the table.
He uses a short cue weighing 70
ounces and about 90 inches long. He
'has short stroke, depending more
for most of his play on a snappy wrist
motion rather than upon the forearm
Yet when occasion requires he can
carry his forearm well forward, Civ
ing a perfect follow-through stroke.
Always in Condition.
Hoppe is well built, almost stocky
quick and muscular. He always seems
to be in perfect condition and has
never smoked or used liquor. Some
little discussion has arisen from time
TO time as to the relative abilities OF
Hoppe and the late Frank Ives, but ii
seems to be the opinion of the ma
jority of bilIiardists who have seen
them work that Hoppe is the greatest
billiard player that ever lived.

Cooperative Organizations

partment OF Agriculture show that
farmers cooperative organiZa-
tons last year did business of $685.
714,650, against little more than $780,
G00.OO0 in 1919. The figures for 1921,

The farmers of the country are be
ing led more and more toward business
methods in the marketing of their
crops. According to the reports of the
county agents of the Agricultural de-
partment, the farmers in the United
States have come to realize as never
before that success in farming is de-
pendent upon effective, organized mar
sseting systems for farm products.
Cooperative associations are in
creasing rapidly in number and in
tiuence; recently they have attained
recognition by the Federal Reserve
board.
To the average city dweller, par
ticularly those in the East, the ex-

William Hoppe of New York has
been the billiard champion so long
that people almost forget when he
first won the title. However, it was
in 1906 when he defeated Vignaux, in
Paris, for the ISL championship, and
Hoppe was just eighteen years old at
the time. He has not held the cham
pionship uninterruptedly all this time,
though pretty near it. He has held
the 1S.1, 141 and 1872 professional
championships.
Never Takes a Chance.
Hoppe is a careful player who never
takes chance. He frequently refuses
TO play a difficult shot that would give
him theoretically a perfect position,
but plays instead the shot that is the
easier, content with less perfect pO-
sition. Making the shot is paramount
in his mind. This is what makes him
such a good match player. If he is
weak at any part Of the game it
might be the masse, as he frequently
refuses that style Of shot TO play
bank shot. He is deadly accurate on
