These are hectic days for Eastern
League basketball fans. Two games
are on tonight's schedule and all the
teams are vitnlly concerned in the out

three more contests on the schedule
before the season comes to a conclu-
sion.
Tonight the layout calls for the
Germs to travel to Reading and the
suburbanites will journey TO Pretzel-
town with a trainload Of rooters and
a full crew, as every one Of the players
will be on hand In an endeavor to
keep In the running for the Eastern
League flag.
Here In town. at Musical Fund
Hall, Eighth and Locust streets, the
Phillies play Camden, and one Of the
largest crowds that ever packed the
old arena will be on hand. as the game
means everything to the Skeeters.
A defeat would put them out of the
running, unless Germantown loses at
Reading. 1t will be recalled that II

Camden being eliminated from the

LEAGUE ISLAND FLAT LINKS
IDEAL FOR GOLF BEGINNERS
Proposed Neo Public Course You'd Relieve Cobbs Creek Con.
gcs,ion and You'd Furnish Comforting Terrain
for Dufer Tribuations
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

THE proposed public golf course for
L the southern section OF the city on
League Island would be ideal for be-
ginners, in the opinion Of those inter.
ested.
The proposition was brought up in
Councils and sent in the form Of
resolution to the Department Of Public
Works this week, though It is said the
project has been contemplated in the
Bureau Of City Property for a year.
Anyhow, Councils had a lot Of fun
in a debate on the subject Of golf,
though the stuff was very original.
Councilman Won Tagen, however, as
serted that he would as soon play golf
on Broad street as League Island,
where the terrain Is rs fat as 2.T0
water.
This objection to League Island,
municipal course enthusiasts protest,
is not n good one.
In fact, n nice. easy course. with
plenty OF room, little rough. water or
natural hazards, is the ycarning in the
breasts OF a big percentage of those
learning the game.
Too Crowded
Cobbs Creek, sole municipal course
OF the city at present, Is rugged,
difficult course, made up partly by the
steady stronm Of players there, which
makes IL difficult to keep up the course.
IT Is too tough for the average player
there though he won't admit it.
Buffalo's meadow public course is
about like course at League Island
would be, place where the duffer is in
his element-a couple of drives. ten or
twelve good. healthy brassie swipes, n
few chip shots and you're on.
Beginners would be able to learn the
essentials Of stroke and form at League

how careful she was with her diet her
stomach would be all upset soon after
meal. Some of her attacks of indi-
gestion were so bad they would put
her in bed for three or four days at a
time. Her nerves were all unstrung
and she complained of splitting head
aches.
at took just six bottles of Tanlac to
make new woman of her. She can
eat anything she wants now, her head

Some people figure paint econ
omy as "cost per gallon" That
is wrong. For Cheap" paint
doesn't cover so much surface
you buy more gallons. Cheap"
paint is harder to spread and you
have more labor cost. So the
"cheap" paint on the house costs
just as much as the best of paint.
Don't allow surfaces to rot
it costs less to paint them.
"Cheap" paint on the aver

months, while the best paint
stays intact from five to ten

Figure the cost per year of

MAY SECURE
FARM AGENT

1t now seems assured that Bound
airy county will have the services of
a county agent this season. Some
time ago G. w. King was appointed
committee by the commercial club to
act in cooperation with the Boundary
County farm bureau in securing a
county agent il possible. Since hiG ap-
pointment Mr.. King has had consider
able correspondence with the extern
sion division of the state university
in regard to the matter, and recently
received an encouraging letter from
w. Kjosness. assistant county agent
leader. In his letter Mr.. Kjosness
said
II am very anxious that Boundary
county shall be satisfied in the matter
of county agent, and have been at
tempting to direct the process of re-
organization of our staff and funds
so that provision will be made for a
county farm agent in Boundary county
II believe things have proceeded far
enough now so that | can safely say
that we will be prepared to sign up
contracts with your county commits
sioners at their next meeting, and
either I shall be present or see that
some other university agent is present
in the event that we are prepared to
talk business with your commission
ers
I'm order to secure the services of
a county farm agent in cooperation
with the university, it will be neces-
sary for the county commissioners to
apply 800 per month on the salary of
the agent and to allow approximately
$500 year for expenses of the county
agent in county of about the size of
Boundary. In larger counties, it takes
$1,000 to $500 year for travelling ex-
penses. OF course, this does not in
clude the original purchase of a car,
ready provided for our former agents.
so this matter should not cause any
difficulty.
''I shall try to arrange to send YOU
an experienced man. one of the older
members of the staff who is mature
enough to appeal to the class of farm
ers that we serve in Boundary county.
In case we sign up contracts with the
commissioners, I should secure you a
man Immediately"
1t is understood that Boundary coun-
ty commissioners favor securing a
county agent ard will probably take
definite action on the matter at their
next meeting
