FLOATING GOLF BAIL
NOW RECOMMENDED

Horace G. Hutchinson writing to a
London paper favoring the floating
golf balls says it's great merit is that
1t floats.
This quality" he continues. gives
opportunity for that brave stroke out
OF water which is not possible when
the ball lies in the depths. The merit
on which all the recent correspondence
has quite rightly insisted is that a
floating ball will not allow itself to be
driven, even by a Mr.. Tolley. to the
huge lengths that those balls will go
which recent legislation permits. That
is the merit that matters. There are
others-as that the lighter ball can be
stopped more deadly; the ''poached-
egg shot may be restored to the game.
Also 1t needs more skill for holding up
into a side wind and for low driving
into a head wind. But above all, it
does not so effectively make fools OF
courses originally laid out for gutta
percha balls, and the fun of the game
lies in hitting the ball, not in walking
a quarter of a mile in order to hit 1t

Firemen Save
Home from Flames
from Fire Which Destroyed Barn
and Sheds - Loss $4,000.

Quick work on the part of Kenosha
fre-fghters saved from destruction the
farmhouse of Sam Lawson on his farm
just east of Balm Station, just after
ten o'clock this morning. The flames
started in a motor shed near the barns
and spread quickly to the barn. Volun-
teer fire fighters from the entire coun-
tryside were called and aided in saving
all livestock and machinery but the
barn and its other contents including
rs tons of hay went up in smoke.
Fire Chief Schwartz of Kenosha was
notified and with several members of
the force fastened to the scene of the
fire. BY using motor trucks to haul
the water, they kept the flames from
destroying the house after they had
started on the west side of the struc-
ture and threatened to envelope it.
No one was injured in fighting the
flames. The total loss will be near the
$4,000 mark, but the loss on the farm
house was kept down to about $500.
The farm is the old Rogers farm and
was at one time one of the show places
of the county.
