2 dealt and bid a club, which A
passed. 1t is clear that Y will go
no-trumps Just as quickly on a bid
of one club from his partner as he
would on a bid of two. The only re-
suit of an original bid of two in a
minor suit is to embarrass the part
ner when his hand is of doubtful
value and to tempt him to take a
chance that his cards would not JUS

When B passes it is now the proper

In actual theory the blade should
be brought back on a straight line.
but in trying this out most golfers
will bring it back outside the ball.
One of the best ways to practice
this very important matter of COM
ing back on a straight line is to get
a block of wood, say a 2x4, about
eighteen inches long and place it
along the line you wish to putt. Then
practice swinging the putter back
along this line with the top neck of
the blade held along this board.
This shows you exactly how the
putter should be brought back and
also helps to develop the right habit
The basis of putting is a straight
swing with a firm hit. 1t is on the
order of a stab with p short follow
thru.
The hands should not be held too
tightly, nor should be the club head
eyer be hurried back.
The swing must be slow back and
never jumpy. Braid even stops his
swing at the back before coming thru
and this isn't a bad idea.
Checking Up.
Remember then these highly i'm

1t is undoubtedly for the best in
terests of the game that the so-called
Invitation to go no-trumps" is dy-
ing out. For a time there was quite
fad for bidding a club or a. dia-
mond as a hint to the partner to
go no-trumps, with the natural re-
suit that if the partner had anything
as good as an Lce and king he felt
obliged to respond 10 the invita-
tion," too often with disastrous re-
suits.
A still more popular invitation, now
never used by good players. was
known as 1.-THE shout" This was to
call two clubs or diamonds, to show a
solid suit and beg the partner to
shift to no-trumps If he had shoppers
two of them. 1t was my privilege
once to sit behind a player who
shouted with seven diamonds to the
ace. king, queen, his partner holding
three aces to four cards in three suits,
lone jack of diamonds. All he made
at no-trump was six tricks. 1t was
an easy game in diamonds. as they
had seven spades between them and
could have made two tricks in that
suit. One player had four diamonds
to the ten and the diamond hands
had no re-entry.
This brings up a point that so many
beginners and even fairly good play
ers, overlook. which is the importance
of having a re-entry as well as a long
suit. When the suit is solid and the
re-entry is sure, it is a waste of time
to Invite" a no-trumper, and much
better to make that bid at once. The
partner must have a bust in both the
other suits to prevent the noztrumper
from making at least the contract, if
not the game.
The Importance of a re-entry will
be evident if we consider two factors.
The first is the assurance that the
suit can be brought into play, even
if an unusual distribution is found
against it. The other is that the part
ner may not be able to lead the suit,
or perhaps only once, and it turns
out that the adversaries can stop it.
Now we come to cases in which the
suit is not solid. If one lead will es-
tablish it and there is sure re-entry,
well and good. But suppose there is
no re-entry? The value of the suit
then turns upon the partners ability
to get in and lead it. This again
turns on his ability to lead it more
than once, because no matter how
often he can get in, the suit is of no
value if he cannot make it.
These considerations have led good
players to formulate a very useful
rule. If you have bid a minor suit
and your partner has gone to no
trumps, leave him alone if your suit
is of adverse length, as the prob
abilities are that he has several cards
of it. But If it is, suit of six or
more cards and is solid rebid it to
show that condition. Take this exam
pie:

Building Up Your Gatne

Former Open Golf Champion of the u. G.
Copyright New York
How to Putt.

How to Putt.
1t isn't necessary to tell any golfer
how important putting is. If he has
ever played one full round he already
knows.
IF he has played very much golf
he begins to wonder whether putting
isn't too important, whether it doesn't
count for more than it should count
for.
1t is a very simple matter to drive
your opponent, outplay him thru the
green, be better with both wood and
iron, and then have him beat you
handily because his puts drop in
where yours don't.
The first move to make in putting
is to get the right line, and the best
place to get the right line that the
ball must take to reaEh the hole is
back of the ball-not over it.
George Duncan gets the line as he
walks up to the ball. but since every
golfers eye and every golfers snap
judgment is not as good as Duncan's.
it is usually better to stop back of
the ball and make up your mind in
advance just what this line is. The
usual way is to be guessing, even
when one is hitting the ball.
Stance and Position of Ball.
In taking your stance. remember
first that the ball should be under
the eye, not too far out.
The grip should be compact with
both hands welded together, as the
putting stroke is a two-handed affair.
I believe in keeping the weight for
ward on the left foot. and III tell you
why. One of the main putting faults
is moving or &waying the body as the
stroke is made. By 'eeping the
weight forward it is much easier to
brace the body and so keep it from
moving. If the weight is upon both
feet there is also a tendency to move
comes thru.
But With the weight on the left foot
and the right foot acting as a brace
to hold the body in place, this fault
is easier to correct 1t is absolutely
necessary to keep the body still dur
ing the putting stroke. Absolutely
necessary. Make up your mind to thai
right now.
After taking your stance. I believe
then in placing the putter blade IL
front of the ball at right angles t.
the lines. This helps to get the RICH
/ line and also acts as a preliminar,
waggle does in driving.
Start the blade back with boil
hands, the LEFT elbow out toward tn,
hole. where il acts as a guide. It il
easier to putt in this fashion thai
keeping the left elbow in close t.
the body.
| Important Points.
One of the most important points t
! remember is not to lift the puttef
but to start it back close along tn
l ground

to the ground and slightly inside tn

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

By. H. G. Peckham, Wilder, Idaho,
Director of Idaho State Seed Show
and Pres. of Idaho State FarIn
Bureau.
This subject has been before the
people Of Idaho for discussion many
times. Most of the farmers are rec
ognizing the merits of the case Yet
it is obvious that many are still de-
pending too much on one crop to
bring to them all of their pay for the
years work. 1t may be admitted that
that is very pleasant way to farm.
But at the same time we are compel.
led to admit that it is hazardous.
One thing is noticeably true at this
time. The man who furnishes hts
table and wardrobe by the use of a
few cows and chickens is apparently
getting along better than he who
follows the one crop plan. In these
hard days many are getting sows and
hens to carry them over the rough
places. If such a method is good to
relieve difficult situation is it not
reasonable that 1t would be good as
a steady business?
