Gardner has an ideal golf tempera-
ment, perhaps the best disposition
and general mental attitude toward
a match that one could find in the
ranks of prominent amateur golf
ers in the world today. He pos
sesses the ideal manner for the
good American golfer-not too quiet,
as the native Scot is when playing
the game; not to talkative and
chatty as the American is too likely
to be.
1t was a wise choice that made
him a vice president of the United
States Golf Association, and a fortu-
nate thing for golf that with his
other duties he could find time to
give golf his aid in an official way.
Whoever has seen Bob Gardner
play has seen the game in America
played at its very best as a sport.
While we play the same game
OF golf over here that is played in
England and Scotland, as for
rules and SO on, we play 1t in our
own way, which is startingly diff.
ferent. Between two Scots, or be-
tween two BritOns for that mat
ter, a game Of golf has q serious
ness about it that would be alto
American. The Scot or the Eng
lishman hardly ever speaks rs he
makes the round of the links. The
game is everything. Here we
make it occasion for all kinds Of
pleasant chatting.
Gardner, more than any other
golfer / know, represents exactly
and precisely what the America n
players attitude-and general de-
pertinent should be while playing
this great borrowed pastime. He
has the right degree of absorption
in his game while at the same time
he never forgets those with or
around him, whether friendly four.
some or huge championship gallery.
Gardner is one of the group of
Chicago golfers who rose to promi-
hence. He still makes his home in
Chicago and will without doubt be
factor in open and amateur cham
pionships for years to come. He is
rangy of build, but very strong.

Gardner, on paper, is a better
match player than he is at medal
since he has never figured much in
the records Of the open champion
ships. BY an odd circumstance, he
met Bobby Jones in the second

~ street, San Francisco, across
from the Palace Hotel, cooling off
the inners with a Waldorf fizz,
when a man about town dropped
in and placed blue-headed Dos
ton quarterl upon the bar for a
lift of brew. While the bartender
was drawing the amber, our hero
eased himself over to the lunch
counter, where he found among
other toothsome viands beauti-
full plate of fish balls nicely pyra-
mided. Taking in the layout
quickly, he glanced over his shout

ing Immediately for any battle that
may be arranged for the coming

been away from the game a long

lengthy absence for any champion
TO be away from his sport.
Unlike most title holders, Demp
sey realizes that unless he puts
himself into the best possible con
dition that challenger will likely
wrest his crown. 1t is to safe
guard against any such happening
that Jack has decided to take at
least three months of hard training
before entering the ring to defend

possible an increasing variety and output of

possible an increasing variety and output of
commodities.
From 1910 to 1920, for example, there was a
decline of /, 702, 600 in the number of persons en-
gagged in agriculture in the United States, and
vet the estimated value of farm products in the
latter year was two and one-half times the cor
responding value in 1910, representing an in
crease in quantity as well as value OF output
That the supply of some farm products has been
temporarily greater than could be marketed
profitably is an argument not for les efficiency
in production, but for better balanced produc-
ton. Similar gains are being made in produc-
ton percapita in other lines, with resulting ad-
vance in the general standard of living. 1t IS
estimated that today VT could supply to each
person in the country the same quantities OF
commodities that he consumed ten years ago, and
at the same time dispense with the services Of
about 100000 of the persons now employed.
With such a direct relationship between pro
ductivity and standard of living it is futile to
expect that restrictions upon the output of Ia
Dor for any cause or purpose either on the part
of workmen or on the part of employers can re
suit in any lasting benefit to either.
The wages of important groups of highly paid
workers today are endangered not only by a
reduction in personal efficiency, such as not in
frequently appears in highly prosperous periods,
but by the lack of balance between their compen-
sation and that of their fellow workers in other
lines. So long as this condition obtains the
bases for sustained prosperity are incomplete.

Going Broke

Did Governor McMaster of South Dakota
start something when he reduced the price of
gasoline to sixteen cents through the supply de-
pots of the state highway commission?
Yes, the governor started considerable and 1t
is still going.
And this is the way the merry war is proceed
ing. The big refiners doing business in the state
went the governor one better and reduced the
price to fifteen and a half cents. The governor
found he could not get out even on sixteen cent
gasoline and raised his price to twenty cents.
To meet the competition and the established
price of the big concerns, the independent and
the small refineries were forced to the low price.
Now comes the wall of the dealers all over the
state, the filling stations, and other handlers of
gasoline. They are going broke. Many of them
have already achieved that distinction and In a
brief time the rest will be also numbered with
those who entered the great gas war.
If the governor undertook the war for the pur-
poses of personal popularity, the situation bears
every evidence of failure. Coupled with this is
the sacrifice of the helpless dealers. Crucified
on the altar of the governors ambition. All,
well, such things, have happened before, many
times.
The governor was hailed as a public benefac-
tor in the first instance. When the whole story
is told will the governor be written down as a
hero or a boob?

The Volume of Business

In a general view of production and distribu-
ton in the country it is evident that the volume
of current business remains large when meas.
ured by any other than peak standards. The de-
cline in price and recession in volume are not
accompanied by the usual initial characteristics
of depression. Inventories are generally conser-
vative, bank credit is not over extended, and in
terest rates remain moderate.
Instead of the over expansion of construction
which has usually preceded drastic and pro-
longed depression, there remains a general short
age of housing and other construction.
The reaction both in security and commodity
markets from the levels of the early part of
the year has prepared the way for more nearly
stable and normal business. And the fall slim
illus may be expected to quicken the pace of in.
dustry and trade. The railroads have prepared
for the movement of an unprecedented volume of
freight. Altogether, these are conditions favor.
able to a continuation of good business.

Benefits of Progress

Continuing improvement In the economic
status of wage earners is altogether desirable.
Indeed, the most wholesome development of the
c~ountry's resources must be accompanied by the
increasing well-being for all those who render
economic service, for those who toll with their
hands no less than for those who accumulate
and utilize capital.
Progress in this direction, however cannot
depend upon a temporary advantage enjoyed by
one group of workers at the expense of another.
These are trite sayings, but some of their impli,
cations are often overlooked or ignored.
Al all times there are workers in one group
or another whose compensation is relatively
lower than is warranted by the prevailing eco
nomic conditions, those whose position may and
should he improved directly as a result of in
creased wages. In general, however, an improv.
ing standard of living and sustained growth in
real wages for the masses OF the workers can
he attained only as a result of increasing pro,
d|uctiyity Of labor.

The State Fair

The Douglas State Fair is to be held this year
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
September IL, IL, 10 and IA. The fair is now
under the direct supervision of the state agri-
cultural department and it is promised by the
management that the exhibitions of the states
resources will be larger and better than ever
before.
The several counties of the state wherein agri-
cultural agents are employed have made great
strides in the past few years and their exhlDlts
have become not only varied but perfect of their
kind. A healthy rivalry has developed between
different sections of the state in agriculture,
horticulture and live stock breeding and the
fair affords the only real opportunity to bring
the results of these great industries into COM
petition and secure the judgment of experts on
the merits of the several products.
In addition to the displays of agriculture and
livestock, there is a very attractive program of
entertainment and many special and unusual
features for the enjoyment of the fair visitors.
Then, too, Douglas is one of the %prettiest cities
in the state, its people are hospitable and the
state fair ground is a beautiful park in itself.
1t is we'll worth while to any citizen of the state
to attend the fair.
