HORSESHOE PITCHING

At back to the farm outing on
the 100O-acre farm of Henry Nor
genthau Jr, in Duchess county, New
York, recently, given especially for
the benefit of advertising men, pitch
ing horseshoes was the chief sport Of
the day. Among those who partici-
pated in the game was David S.
Houston, former Secretary of Agri-
culture and of the Treasury and now
president of the Bell Telephone Sc
curities company Mr. Houston
played steady game, but was elm
mated in the finals by Or. Coburn,
the local champion.
The Schoolmaster cites this Incl
dent by way OF an introduction to
little preaChment on the arrival of
horseshoe throwing as one of the ma
tons principal sports. Once regard
ed as purely a "hick" pastime and
long the standing stock in trade of
the columnist and vaudeville ar
tjst," tossing horseshoes is striving
for a place beside baseball and tennis
and golf and football as a major
sport
There is a logical reason behind
the rise of horseshoe throwing. It is
nothing less than the innate desire of
every American to take part in
game Every kid plays baseball al
most as soon as he is able to toddle.
But baseball. as a players game is
chiefly for kids. Thousands of boys
play baseball on the nations back
lots during childhood in order to de-
velop few professional Sisters.
RUths. Hornsbys and Mathewsons
When the overwhelming majority of
these boys grow to manhood they be-
come baseball spectators and not
players.
Tennis is another game that has
become justly popular. But this al
so is young persons game. When
a man or a woman reaches to age of
the Schoolmaster and attains his
avoirdupois, tennis is no longer for
them. ANYWAY. the number OF courts
available is limited and if every per
son between the ages of Is and 40
should suddenly decide to play ten
mis- regularly all OF our abandoned
farms would have to be converted in
TO courts.
AS a players game, golf is now the
most popular sport But tho trouble
with golf is that it requires too much
capital. It costs as much to main
tain a membership in a good golf
club today as it used to take to keep
large family 25 years ago. The
income Of the majority of people
bans golf from the list Of necessities.
If they play at all It IS only an oc-
casional game on a public links or as
a guest at a private club. And the
difficulty with occasional playing IS

PLAY FAIR

The time for aspirants to qualify
for the primary election by filing
notices of their candidacy expired
last Saturday. In the Seventh
legislative district three candidates
are seeking the two nominations for
state representatives on the repubr-
can ticket. Two of the three.
George H. Watt and A. f. Olson.
are Pullman men. The other candi-
date is Roy Jones Of Penawawa.
It is now up to the republican vot-
ers of this community to see that
Mr. Jones receives a good vote here
He resides in the western part of
the district, which is entitled 10 rep

throw their whole support to the
TWO Pullman candidates. thew would
not be playing fair, but would be

nate both legislative candidates from
one community might succeed once.

That probably also explains why
so many people are taking up horse
shoe throwing. The popularity of
the game is increasing by leaps and
bounds. 1t has spread from the ru
raj districts into the cities. Even if

milton for years to come.
Had the republican residents of
the western part of the district seen
tit to enter another candidate be
sides Mr.. Jones, in all probability
both Pullman aspirants would have
been defeated But recognizing that
Pullman is entitled to a place on the
Legislative ticket and placing conf
dence in the assurances of the
friends of both Mr.. Watt and Mr.
Olson that they had no desire or in
tention of eliminating Mr.. Jones, his
supporters did not enter another
candidate.
In order to keep faith with the
republican voters of the district, the
hackers of both the Pullman can
didates should give Mr.. Jones lib
eral support at the primary election.

The fact that Robert Neill of this
city secured the contract for the
chiffoniers and chairs to be used in
the new mems dormitory at the State
College is as significant as it is graft
flying. He had to bid against big
firms from Spokane, Seattle and
other points, and the contracts were
awarded by the purchasing division
of the state department of business
control at Olympia The fact that he
was able to underbid these COM
petitors proves, what many people
are slow to believe. that he can pur-
chase stock as cheaply as the big
stores in the larger cities This be-
ing true, and the fact that his over
head expense is considerably less
than theirs, should prompt all resi-
dents of this community who need
furniture to examine the stocks and
secure prices from local merchants
before sending away their orders. BY
so doing they will have the advant-
age of seeing what they buy and may
also save money on the purchase

THE MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE

! We have heard great deal about
the cotton boil wecvil and the cnor-
nous damage being done to the cot
ton crop by this insect, but very littlo
has been written about the Mexican
Bean Beetle, which feeds upon the
important soiling and grcen-manur-
| ing crops used in the farm practice
of the Southern States. The insect
| feeds on many table beans and other
legumes, includin gsnap, lima, pinto
and navy beans, soy beans, hyacinth
beans, cowpeas, cultivated beggar-
weed, and occasionally on sweet Glow
er and alfalfa.
The bean beetle, which is already
established in 36 counties in Georgia,
as we'll as in 35 counties in Alabama,
Sd in Tennessee, in eKntucky, Pin
North Carolina, and 3 in South Caro-
lima, will, according to Entomologists
connected with the U. S. Department
/ og Agriculture and some of the
Southern States Agricultural Depart
ments, probably be distributed south
ward, and westward to the Mississippi
river, eastward to the Atlantic Ocean,
and northward to the Michigan and
| New York bean arqas.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, Bureau of Entomology,
maintains laboratories at Thomasvillc,
Ca, and Birmingham, Ala, for the
study fthc pest, but no satisfactory
recommendations for control, other
than changes in cropping, have yet
been worked out, although the depart
ment has been studying the problem
since the discovery of the pest in Ala
| bama in 1920.
The total money value Of the crops
it attacks is not less than $1,000 ,O0O,-

severely criticised the Veterans Bu-
reau for their treatment of the dis
abled soldiers.
The American Legion Auxiliary, of

at the State Convention by Mrs. C.

The program for the Convention was
unusually good. On Wednesday morn
ing the Legion and Auxiliary held a
joint meeting in the Florence Audi
torium at which several addresses
were given and an address by Cover
nor Wilson G. Harvey. Luncheon
was served at the Central School
building at 2 o'clock, and an inter
csting ball game between Florence
and Charleston filled the afternoon.
in the evening the ladies were taken
to the home Of Mrs. Mckenzie in
Timmonsville, where a lovely reccp-
tion was given them. That night a
street dance was attended and enjoy
cd by all.
Thursday morning at nine o'clock
the mammoth parade was staged.
Music was furnished by two bands,
which were both "jazz" and "full O.

meetings were held, after which Of
ticcrs were elected and good barbc-
cue dinner was served. In the af,
tcrnoon, another ball game was en-
ioyed, thus ending the program of
the convention. TO the Florence pco-
pie and Auxiliary we owe our thanks
and appreciation for the good times
and hospitality they extended us
while in their city, and we hope that
the next State Convention held at
Greenville, will be just as successful.
