Corn lost ss01sc to ,s9%c and oats

Bearish sentiment in wheat was man.

first too. the outlook was for an in
crease In the. United States visible sup
ply. Selling, however, was checked by
the fact that foreign exchange was on

In the southwest was again becoming

announcement OF visible supply de-
crease instead of the increase looked
Tor led to rally inasmuch as, for the
first time the total was less than the
amount year ago.
But the upturn in values was short

Corn and oats were lower as a re-

Besides export demand for corn

ito an American golfer" His ow.
comment is:
u am no judge of that, but dt
know that Philadelphia gallery is :
delightful one"
Mr.. Evans took up golf seriously
when ne was eight years old as caddie
at the Edgewater Club, near Chicago
Since that time he has seldom gone
many hours without golf club in his
hands. Even the war did not interrupt
his activities, for he played golf for
the benefit of the Red Cross.
he writes that among, his highly
treasured mementos there is a set of
resolutions passed by the Edgewater
Club reciting chow I had been on the
road almost constantly, from April %
to October 5, in the interest Of Red
Cross golf; how had played in forty
one different cities, travelling approxi-
mately $4,000 miles, and how / had as
sisted in raising 100000 under the
management of the Western Golf AS
sociation.1
While Mr.. Evans's book will have an
extraordinary interest among golfers,
both as historical record and as key
to how it is done, there will be sweet
solace for the buffers in some chapters,
Even champions, it seems, have their
moments of indulging in the we'll
known alibi. AS good a loser as
Chick" Evans has the reputation of
being, he has perfectly good alibis for
many of his failures. A forgotten over
coat, butterfly on the opponents ball
rheumatism in the right heel, badly
behaved caddie-all these are important
factors in the winning and losing OF
championships.
When Francis Ouimet got out of a
sick bed at Pittsburgh to play Evans
in the second round of the national
amateur in 1919 Evans was suffering
from neuritis. But sin spite of the
weather and our illnesses" they both
played pretty WELL Going to the
thirty-sixth they were all even. Both
made good drives. Here We will let MIR.
Evans continue:
@ouimet's second shot went ipto a
bunker at the side Of the green, but,
fortunately for him, the lie was com
paratively good. Mine went into the
long grass and, unfortunately for me,
the lie was very bad. Ouimet made a
good out and dropped to within ten
feet of the cup Ny shot from the
rough was fifteen feet away tried
for my putt and missed by few
inches. Ouimet sank his and the gal
lery cheered wildly.
Il shook hands with the victor and
the crowd rushed to congratulate him.
/ found myself standing entirely alone
and went back unnoticed to the club
house"
Around such thrilling moments Is the
book coaceiYsd.

William B. Cairns and Frank w. Scott.
Among the outstanding journalist:
tendencies of the time may be men
toned the passing of the old dominant
editorial personalities, the adoption Of
a less virulent tone in personal and po-
iitical controversies, and the enormous
expansion of agencies for collecting
news The magazines generally aban-
doned the heavy some which char
acterized the periodicals of the early
nineteenth century and adapted them
selves to the demands of greatly ex-
tended circulation.
The fourth volume hegins with q
rather brief summary of the work of
the leading economists by Professor
Edwin R. A. Seligman. Various sub
Jects. somewhat apart from the main
current of American literature are dis
cussed in chapters entitled Scholars,
Patriotic Songs and Hymns, Oral
Literature, Popular Bibles, Book Pub
fishers and Publishing, and the English
Language in America. Three non
English elements in American litera-
ture are recognized; and the produc-
tions Of German, French and Yiddish
writer's are described. Mary Austin
contributes an interesting chapter on
American aboriginal literature, the
songs and sayings of the Indians.
The history conveys an impression
OF massive and imperishable scholar
ship. 1t is an encyclopedia of infor-
nation about individual writer's and
their works. and it clarifies the most
important tendencies in our national
literature by its sound and penetrating
criticism. 1t is an achievement of
which editors and contributors alike
may we'll be proud.
