Golf Was Played in Georgia in 1911

AvANNAH, GA.-"The members OF
~ the Golf club are requested to
meet at the exchange this evening at
seven o'clock, No, ember 25."
Although modern In its phraseology,
the foregoing invitation was issued
more than ITO years ago by officers
of the Savannah Golf Club" 1t ap-
peared in the form Of an advertise
ment in the Savannah Museum,
newspaper bearing the date Of No
vember 25, 1911, copy of which has
Just been found.
The location Of the links Of the
Golf Club" Is not known. and just
what the character of the game in
the early days here is not recorded.
The game then was to be developed
to the point where newspaper readers
demanded full details Of the clash.
But that golf was played in Savannah
early In the Eighteenth century Is q
fact and that 1t was played by
Scotchmen Il equally true.
That the Golf Club" was conduct
ed along the lines of the modern
clubs, however, may be assumed from
Information contained In one Of IT.

Miss Lillian Rappold. twenty-eight
years old, daughter of Madame Marie
Rappold, singer with the San Carlo
Opera company, had a squirrel coat
which she first stated to the offl-
Gals had been purchased on Fifth
avenue, New York. When informed
that she would have to make this
statement under oath which would
render her liable to prosecution for
perjury if 1t was proved =, be untrue,
Miss Rappold admitted that she had
paid between 500 to $500 for the coat
while abroad. The appraisers valued
it at 81 500 which she declined to pay
and the coat was forfeited.
Two women passengers bound for
San Francisco, Miss Emma AuSpach
and Miss Lena kober. brought seal
skins, upon which $500 was due,
and as they had no money, the coats
were forfeited.

Too Much Spirit of Dead Sweetheart

"He communed with the spirit of
his sweetheart through the medium
OF photographs decorated with flow
ers.' says Mrs. Lahm. "When she
told him that through her directions
he could buy cheaper outlets and bet
ter bargains In silk hose for his wife,
he took the household pocketbOok
away from me, and refused to allow
me cent.
"It is perfectly reasonable that a
spirit should know up-to-date bar
gains better than a mere mortal he
told me. Each day he talked to Eve
lyn and she told him what to buy. If
l needed a new pair Of shoes, and
Evelyn said there would be better bar
gains the next month. had to wait"
But such hold did Evelyn" have
over the erring husband. Mrs. Lahm
said, that he worshiped at her shrine.
Following the first evidence Of his
devotion to the spirit sweetheart, he
closed their fiat and went to live with
his mother.
"The atmosphere there is better for
Evelyn" he said.
The Lahms have one child named

hrs. Clair Mcconnell, Of Norman

The XMAS SNOW

The grownups went about during
the days before Nmas saving:
"1t doesn't look as though there
would be any snow for Nmas."
And others said 1--WE fear we will
not have a white Xmas."
The children Went about feeling
quite sad that they would not have
coasting. nor skiing nor a good old
sleigh ride.
1T doesn't look as though if would
snow" they said. What a pity. What
very great pity"
Now. Old Man Winter had been Wis
iting Old King Snow-not for any
length of time of course. He had Just
been having lunch with him now and
again and once he bad stayed through
for supper
That had been the time when the
earth people had had so much to say
about the warmth. They had all felt
so hot in their winter clothes and had
wanted TO put on lighter things but
knew if they did theyT would catch
cold. So they stayed uncomfortable.
And, if they had changed, Old Man
Winter would have come hurrying
back and in the coldest and sternest
of voices he would have whispered In
his chilly way:
Dent you know it's winter time?
Well, if you don't, l will tell you"
But now Old Man Winter had been
having some long talks with King
Snow again.
Have you made up your Xmas list
as YETI" asked Old Man Winter of
King Snow.
King Snow laughed goodly laugh
and said:
''Ha, ma. Old Man Winter. are your
brains freezing up? Don't you know
that I do not give Xmas presents?
I'm not Santa Claus and l don't be-
long to a family.
Il can't imagine my grandchildren,
the Snow Flakes, saying:
'Grand-daddy, what have you got
for us for Xmas?'
"They wouldn't say such thing, as
they wouldn't expect anything.
"They couldn't eat a candy cane If
they were given one or two or wag-
onloadful. They never read, Of course,
and they wouldn't want books.
"They wouldn't want sleds as they
couldn't go coasting on themselves.
That would be bad taste to say the
least.

worry and no trouble. While Santa

PRESIDENT HARDING SAYS OF FARLEY

When men sit about the council table and look each other in the face and look upon prob lems deliberately, without passion, they find the way to come to an agreement. And, after all, there never has been conflict in the world that has not been settled in the end that way. You have war; you destroy thousands or millions of men and measureess treasure, and then you gather about the table and settle it. 1 have feeling that mankind has become wise enough to sit down before the war and try to settle 1t. And that is the object of the four-party treaty. That is why I say the small lack of agreement in construing it is not significant.
 Why, if there were menace of peace in Japan, what objection could there be for the United States to sit down with her friend in the Orient, and with the other great powers and discuss how the matter should be adjusted? If some one had done that when Austria was threatening Serbia there would have been no European war; The whole purpose of this conference is to pro- vide some means where just, thoughtful, right eous peoples, who are not seeking to siege some thing which does not belong to them can live peaceably together and eliminate causes of con flict.

REAL SERVICE

The average American is used to quick action.
 If central fails to say Number within five seconds after the telephone receiver is removed we complain about slow service.
 As is often the case, we fail to appreciate ad- vantages close at home
 American travellers abroad find out what slow telephone service really means. Over the govern ment telephone lines in European countries it is sometimes necessary to make an application to talk several hours ahead of time and then wait your turn for your call to be placed. In addition on busy circuits conversations are often limited to from 3 to minutes At the end of the time, your connection will be cut and you must make a new application and wait several hours more
 This is government service in Europe. How long would we tolerate such condition from our private companies in America.
 Private initiative and enterprise which depend upon public goodwill for support always render better service than government monopoly which is unaffected one way or the other by nconven- fence or expense of customers.

GRAND CANYON BONANZA FOR ARIZONA

The biggest and richest God-given and natural bonanza in the known world lies dormant within the boundaries of the state of Arizona the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and the waters flowing ceaselessly through it.
 So far man has done nothing to make use or it.
 Move the Grand Canyon and its waters into the state of New York and soon the whole state would be abaze with it's wonderful possibilities. There, in a comparatively short space of time, it would be paying handsome dividends on billions of dollars annually.
 But to the state of Arizona the Grand Can- yon of the Colorado and it's waters mean many times more wealth than in the state of New York because it's waters in New York would be so much waste while here in Arizona those wa ters would reclaim countless thousands of acres of the most fertile and productive land in the world, thereby making possible thousands of hap py and prosperous farm homes in Arizona
 If your vision is wonderfully keen and bright try your best to grasp the electrical possibilities to be gotten from the harnessed waters of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river.
 million or more horsepower developed from those waters would move every train In Arizona, New Mexico Nevada and California, and at the states
 Also it would furnish power for all other pur- poses in that great territory.
 Mans brush can never paint the glories of OUR GRAND CANYON. Neither can mans words express by half the gigantic and tremen- dous benefits, wealth and happiness to be had from Arizonas Grand Canyon when fully de- veloped.
 The combined railroads of these United States, worked into one total, is wonderfully big prop ositiOn.
 You know it because you see and read abous 1t every day.
 But the combined possibilities of our Grand c,~I l>xxf
 The riches of all the mines in the United States cannot compare with what can be gotten from Arizona's Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
 Our Grand Canyon can be made richer than the combined wealth of Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Grand Canyon of the Colorado river is for US, a veritable "Alladin's Lamp with which miracles can be wrought. - Phoenix Gazette.

ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL

The arguments advanced in favor of non-tax- able government, state and municipal securities are that in this manner money is obtained more cheaply for public works.
 That may be, but for every dollar thus ob- tained private industry which keeps the wheels of commerce turning and our millions of people employed when seeking money must pay two dollars in order to make up the tax lost by the billions of wealth escaping all forms of taxation in tax exempt securities.
 Thus do the people finally pay the bill in n- creased commodity prices.
 Tax exempt securities are direct detriment to the starting of new enterprises and are hand- caping normal industrial growth in this nation as they absorb the bulk of surplus funds which would otherwise be seeking commercial channels for investment.

POWER CREATES COMMUNITY WEALTH

Col. John B. Miller, for many years leader in hydro-electric development in the Southwest, is optomistic about power and irrigation expan- sion of great wasting waterhow:
 'The Colorado river" said MT. Miller, lis sec ond in the United States in potential power, it's possible development being 4,500,000 horse pow CT The annual increase in consumption of cleo tricity in Southern California is 50,000 horse power. To keep up with this increased consump- tion costs $15,000,000 year but it adds about $300000, ,000 to the community wealth. We have sources, aside from the Colorado, to keep up with this increase for from ten to fifteen years. The Colorado project can best be handled in units of 100000 horse power, costing about $60,000,00 each, and requiring two or three years for con- struction. This would mean spending at just about the rate the Southern California Edison company has been spending"

As a result of the high railroad freight rates, Pacific Northwest lumber shipments by way of the canal to North Atlantic cities increased l. 020 per cent during 1921 over the year preced- ing. Government operation wage agreements didn't do thing to the lumber industry, did they? And while the railroad men got theirs the sackening of all other industries by reason of high freight rates threw hundreds of thou sands of other men out of employment.

The abolition of the federal taxes on transpor- tation will result in reducing the amount of money the public pays the railroads between S200,000,000 and $30O,0O000O annually. This has been collected by the railroads and turned over by them to the government. Hence, it's elimination January will amount to a reduction of per cent on freight rates and per cent on passenger rates.

On an alcoholic questionnaire sent by the American Medical association to doctors in 19 states, 6,797 replied that they did not consider whiskey as necessary therapeutic agent in the practice of medicine and 6,519 asserted they found it of value. In Arizona, 55 were for whiskey, 5 against; 29 for beer, 81 against 37 for wine, 73 against.
