tee apparently swinging at his ball
three times for practice. while the
crowd waited 20 tee off" He ap-
preached the player and warned him
that he mustn't take so many trial
shots on the first tee. The man said
nothing, but took another swing
az the ball. Again the Caretaker gave
his warning. and again the player
swung. When the caretaker repeated
his warning FOR the third time in vol
uble tones. the player lifted his face
and replied:

ing Utilized
srceIal 10 The wnrld.

Special 70 The World.
SPRINGFIELD. June 3O.--Na-
tive Ozark rock. which since the
era Of the mound builders have
gone unused, except as weapons and
dwelling foundations, nro becoming
popular building material IN south
western Missouri. Farmers are be-
ginning to build both houses and
barns OF stone and some nearby
town arc building public buildings
OF them. A school building is be-
ing constructed at Branson OF cot
ton stone and church has been
erected at Forsyth OF similar rocks.
The rocks make not only n very
durable building. but a beautiful
one as well. TO the Ozark resi-
dents unaccustomcd eyes, the stone
buildings were first but Jokes, as
they were made from the despised
rocks which had caupod numerous
farmers TO almost give up In des-
pair, but as tho buildings increased
they became more attractive, until
today they meet with the artistic ap-
proval of many Of he most hardened
hillmen.
When the cold storage plants FOR
the Hazeltine orchards were built
OF rock several years ago, they were
considered wonderful sight in this
section. Weather boarded houses
were tho farmers favoritcs I'm those
days, all other building materials
were strange.
with the return OF several thou

from France. whore they had found
stone buildings almost entirely. n
new and more favorable attitude
toward stone buildings was 10 be
expected. Many Of the Missouri
boys had seen churches built OF
stone before Columbus sailed for
America and had slept i'm barns
made Of stone before Lafayette
came over and helped George Wash
inGton fight the Revolutionary war.
so It was not surprising that they
should encourage building OF this
material.
One OF the big advantages Of
building OF stone, Is that the rocks
are plentiful and don't cost any
thing, the builders explain, The
houses are cool I'm summer and
warm in winter, their advocates ex-
plain.

ORIENT WAS ONCE
PROSPEROUS ROAD
Lack of Re-Icing and En-
gines Hurt the Feeder
Line

Special TO The world.
SWEETWATER, June 30.--Soven
years ago, according to former Or
lent railway employees, the Kansas
city, Mexico * Orient railroad,
which is now on the verge OF being
junkcd, had more business than It
could handle. At that time, they
say, it was line which seemed TO
be very prosperous and have fu-
turc.
In 1915 and 1916 the orient rail-
road was the fruit route OF west
Texas. II was not an uncommon
sight to see az many as seven or
eight train loads of California fruit
handled in n day. The southern
Pacific Railroad company turned
over this fruit to the Orient at AL
pines. The latter line got a long
haul as far as Wichita, Kan. For
some reason or other that has not
been properly explained, all this
business was taken away from the
orient and turned over to tho
Texas & Pacific at FL Paso. For a
time, IT is said, the southern Pacific
turned over the fruit TO be carried
by the Orient as far as Sweotwator.
whero # was given to the Texas
& Pacific.
Old-tme employees declare that
the Orien. has never had sufficient
motive power TO handle the busi-
ness which was rendered II in those
days. Likewise its facilities for re-
icing fruit were inadequate and
some losses were alleged to have
occurred. At any rate the West
Texas Railroad" as II came to bo
called, lost this fruit business,
which was given preferential move
ment over passenger and other
freight trains.
When the Orient first began op-
Grating trains from Wichita to
Sweetwater several passenger trains
each way n day were operated, car
rylng "A number of Pullman cars
Washouts, wrecks and serious and
apparently avoidable delays made
the Orient route very unpopular
one. The road went into the hands
of receivers a number OF times. The
road was dubbed facctiously the
"Gyp Route" because II followed
backbone from San Angelo to
Wichita which was largely "A gyp-
sum country.
Scores OF prosperous little towns
sprang up along the road, which, If
the road ceases TO operate, Will be
fearfully Handicapped. Among the
towns which will be entirely without
railroad facilities are Longworth,
Sylvester, MCCaulley, Rule, Rnches-
ter, Knox city, Crowell, Obrien and
