BAIFouR 4 1 NO HERO TO cADDY
eYounH =AnAsrfeans of Chevy Chase Out;
spoken jn His Opinion Of Great
-, British Diplomat.

u Lord Balfour liked. good yarn
even aat his own expense, and he told
one to- us at dinner Of which he
was the center at the British embassy
at Washington. +.
1T was q splendid weighty func'
tion, worthy Of pre-war days, when
Europe was neither depressed nor hys-
teriea1. Some one had spoken Of Bal
four i1scomplimentary fashion, Of his
great brain and his work at the con.
ference, and he replied that this con
soled him for an occurrence at Chevy
Chase club, where he had gone to play
golf the day previous.
Finding no one he knew -abeut, he
engaged caddy' and started off,
walking and chatting with the latter.
He asked the caddy's opinion about
the use of a certain club. The boy
gave advice, which Lord Balfour. at
tempted to follow; but he missed
the Shot. ;, Caddy took the,tlub, illus
trated his explanations, also missed
the ball; but further explained this
was because he was too short for the
club. Lord Balfour again tried to
follow: caddy's instructions and again
missed; whereupon: caddyeaeyed him
and remarked IN solemn sincerity

"LIFE" IN INANlMATE, THINGS
Metals, for Instance, Easily Proved to
ee Sensitive to Degrees Of
Heat and Cold.

Scientists tell us that life may exist
in objects previously considered inani-
mate, such as stone or iron. q Hsis now
known that, metals are sensitive not
only toeheat and cold, but also to mars
,cot.csa and stimulants., q Strange as it
may seem, .ypu. can poison a piece Of

latter wilfthe found to be poisoned, 1t

steel Metals. again, suffer from over
fatigue. s,Ehe most common example Is
when your, -azor-edge. becomes, dull and
the most careful stropping fails to re-
store its edge. But If you rest the ra-
zor for week or two the steel regains
its temper. When stone goes sick It
Is very difficult to cure. Paints have
been used, but without much effect. In
these days the architect has at his
command certain mysterious liquids
which can be sQuirted onto .decaying
stone, and which, sinking In, make the
surface hard and weather-proof. But
the process is apt to spoil the appear
ance of the stone.

country's ram eopulation.

Recent statistics sent out by the
census authorities show that the farm
population Of the United States is
only 81, ,614,2 ,269, a little less than 80
per cent Of the total. This includes
farm operators and farm laborers and
their families, who live in the coun-
try, and shows an average Of about
five persons to each farm. About half
the people in the. nation are classified
as: rnral-that IS, they live in the
country, or. In towns having few
er than $500 inhabitants, but only
81 per cent Of, the "rurals'' are actual
~ engaged in farming. Thus 80 per
cent Of the rural population and the
entire city population must be fed by
the. men engaged in agriculture. It
gives the farmer q big. Job. Only a
few years ago each farmer had to pro-
vision his own family and one other
family-now he must furnish food for
nearly three other families besides his
own. His occupation should not fail.

The raw material for handles in the

Hickory, due to its unrlxad proper

resiliency, is used exclusively in the
manufacture of handles of golf clubs.
The constantly increasing popularity
of this sport has placed another de.
