HANDLING THE WOOD

There are certain general principles.
of course, that govern the play of both
wood and iron, but in many important
ways they call for different treatment.
For no man can play both with the
same stroke and not find serious
trouble.
In taking up the use or play of
driver or brassie the first thing to re-
member is to stand a trifle further
away from the ball and to be pre-
pared for a looser freer stroke.
The body should be slightly more
relaxed. for we are coming now to
swing that doesn't go in for quite as
much firmneSS as iron play calls for.
There should be more freedom in
the play of the left arm. and the right
elbow isn't SO compactly held against
the body.
The left arm, as always, must be
kept straight, bat not stiff. There is
a big difference here and one that
must be watched. A stiff, straight
left arm is no advantage at all. There
can be just a slight natural bend at
the left elbow, but it must not be too
much of a bend-merely a slight give
to prevent stiffness.
Important Features.
The grip should be about the same
as for iron play, with the left hand
slightly over.
The two VS. formed by the thumb
and forefinger of each hand should be
pointing at the right shoulder. II you
keep this in mind you can always
judge your grip correctly
The left shoulder and the left knee
start together. AS the left shoulder
comes around, be sure that the left
knee pivots at the same time. There
is more turn of the body in this stroke,
with an easier feeling of body and
arms.
As the left knee pivots in. with the
kneecap pointing at the ball. the left
heel will come up at least an inch,
with the ball of the left foot firmly
gripped against the turf.
The weight at the top of the swing
should be about evenly balanced upon
both feet.
In iron-club play you have a sense
of steering the ball. The wood calls
for less OF this. In swinging thru
don't be in too big a hurry to apply
the blow. If possible ina gine that
you are to deliver the full force of
your swing at some object five or six
inches on beyond the ball and you viii
then very likely put in the snap at
the right time.
The Wrist Snap.
Many golfers are taught to put the
snap in at the top of the swing, to
start the down swing with a move
ment OF the wrists
1 believe this is all wrong. You can
only put the snap in once, and if you
use il at the top of the swing you
will have nothing left when it comes
to hitting the ball.
The hands and arms start down to-

ruptcy. The bank that was not posted
will lose a part or all of its loan.
Probably the earliest record of the
use of quick information by big
business man is that of Crassus, the
Roman, and the richest man of his
time. Before Christ, fire departments
in Rome were nonresident. If a
house caught fire, buckets of water
were cast on it, but usually with little
effect Now Crassus employed a staff
of runners who patrolled Rome. As
soon as smoke was observed they
would dash to Crassus with the infor-
nation He would hasten to the
house where the flames were making
Roadway against the feeble attempts
to quench them. The owner would be
in despair because his home seemed
lost Then Crassus would offer to
buy the burning structure. The own
er. seeing nothing but loss, would sell
cheaply. The instant the deal was
closed Crassus would sound a signal
and his trained fire department would
appear and put out the fire. Crassus
would make the necessary repairs and
remain the owner of the building. II
is said that he owned half the houses
in Rome before his death, and he had
bought each one of them when its
value was lowest because of the i'm
minence of its destruction.

Of Misconduct Frame-Up

DALLAS, Tex, May 24.-Continued
examination and cross-examination of

prospect at the third day of the trial
of D. E. Soderman on a murder charge
in connection with the shooting OF Jay
Clay Powers, of a prominent family
of Kentucky, April Is in the lobby OF
the Waldorf hotel here.
The state has presented three wit
nesses while the defense has present
ed five, including Mrs. Soderman, wife
of the accused, who told story of
alleged seduction by Powers which
was attacked under cross-examination
tending to show Powers attentions to
have been merely those of courtesy
and the alleged misconduct story a
''frame-up" The defense said it could
prove the alleged Illicit relations OF
Powers and Mrs. Soderman to be boni-
fide by the collaboration of witnesses

Both sides emphasized Soderman's
having drank to excess, the prosecu
ton holding that he had been an hab

of alleged business alterations, while

FARMERS WARNED
OF CHINCH MENACE

Warning to be on the outlook
against chinch bug infestation was is
sued from the county office by the
agricultural agent, ]. L. Dolan, Tues
day. An examination of fields in all
parts of the county has been con-
Quoted by Mr.. Dolan between May Is
and May 20, and showed bugs in prac-
tically every field visited, he states,
though in many cases there were so
few as to be negligible.
Infestation is worst in fields near
the badly infested spots of last year,
in some cases as many as eight or
ten adults to the linear foot being
found on the wheat row.
These bugs will lay from $50 to
200 eggs apiece, says the county
agents statement, many have laid
their eggs by this time, and newly
Matched bugs may be looked for about
the middle of June. A heavy dashing
rain at that time will kill the young
bugs, but failing that, large numbers
of the bugs may be expected. The
bugs, if weather allows them to ma
ture, will feed on wheat or other small
grain fields until they ripen, migrat-
ing to corn as small grain dries or is
harvested.
Mr.. Dolan advises all farmers in the
county to familiarize themselves with
the appearance and habits of the
chinch bug, and to learn the methods

By FREDERICK j. HASF<IN
WASHINGTON, May 25-The great
est single facility of business men in
the making of money. is information,
and the modern American business
man has developed this facility more
than any other in the world. While
the average citizen is reading his
morning paper, he is inclined to think
that he is informing himself as fully
concerning current affairs as is nee
essary to keep him abreast of events.
An examination of the efforts which
organized business makes to supple
ment these ordinary sources of infor-
nation would prove a revelation.
Every schoolboy has heard of the
great Rothschild family. The founda-
ton of its fortune was information
in particular. one special bit of in
formation. Napoleon was overrunning
Europe. Nations trembled before his
army and the British people were IN
easy. A natural result was that Brit
ish government bonds dropped to low
figures in the money markets of the
world. Then came the epochal battle
of Waterloo. Rothschlid was at Brus-
sells, near the battlefield. He arrang-
ed to obtain the earliest possible news
of the battle. The moment he learned
of Napoleon's defeat he set OFF post
haste for London.
Bad News Flies
In times of great national stress,
rumors of bad news fly more quickly
than reports Of good news. Before his
arrival rumors had reached London
that Napoleon again had proved vic
torious and that England was crushed
The bonds sank still lower Rothschild
bought them for a song. He had the
facts. A day later. when the true re
port came officially, all England re
joiced and especially Rothschild, for
his information had made him rich
man.

tacular, but there are others approach
ing it in American business today

FIRE DEPARTMENT ELECTS.

The meeting Of the Fire Depart
ment Monday evening was well at
tended, it being time for annual cleo
tion of officers. Officers were elected
and appointed as follows: VIM.

ant Chief; H.. F.. Winchester, Secre-
tary; Joe Wohlman, Treasurer =, En-

j. Rotzien, Harry Hubbard, members
Of crew. Hazelton Dray Line-in
charge of tank wagon.
There was some little discussion Of
the matter Of false fire alarms. All
readers are asked to note this point:
The State Regulations provide that
the chief shall give at least one false
fire alarm per month, for the purpose
of drill, Of which he was to make a
report to the State Fire Department.
If you will stop to consider this, you
will understand that this is neces-
sary regulation. The engines will
then be kept in good working con-
dition, and the crews will understand
their use. The department asks ev-
eryone to turn out for these false
alarms as well as actual, fires, to en-
courage the boys and show them that
the property owners appreciate the
service they are rendering the COM
munity.
To stir up competition, it was voted
that the crew Of the first engine
which gets to an actual fire with its
engine in working condition, is to be
paid five dollars by the department.
This applies to all fires for the en-
suing year.
