Farmer Side

To the Editor Of The Times
Would like to make a brief reply
to r. p. McCasln. who wrote you
that farmers clamor for good roads
and then put up howl" when they
have to pay for them He said city
and suburban dwellers help to pay
for the roads and think they are a
good investment.
We venture the assertion that not
more than half of the people living
In cities and suburbs own the prop
erty they live in. Yet these people
will buy automobiles on the Install
ment plan More than two-thlrds of
the automobiles we see on the public
highways are from the cities and
towns.

and towns who don't pay taxes at all

phone and water companies make an

ers put up a most indignant "holler."
1t isn't true. as McCaslin said that
the county banks over the country
show that the farmers are making
money. The fact IS that most every
business and every organization has
got something from every Legislature
and Congress that meets while the
farmer has paid the bill. looked on,

No Four-Runs
There is no such thing in Nah

is possible to have four Of a kind. AS
it is necessary for you to understand
the system of play before this can be
explained, it will be treated in a later
article
In sorting your hand, 1t is well for
you to place together your sequences
and threes- of kind, as otherwise you
might inadvertently discard q tile
from one or the other after play starts.
The expert Nah Jongg player will
often deliberately break up a three
ola kind or a threerun-s sequence in
order to risk lettering his hand. But
this is a risk which it is not well for
the beginner to take. l would advise
that, until you become thoroughly
familiar with the game. you play
each hand for Nah Jongg. and hold
on to your sequences and threes-of-a

No. 4-Winning Nah Jongg

ri HE object Of the game Of Nah
II Jongg is twofold: to score as
IL much as possible and to win
Tor Nah Jongg) the hand. AS you
progress in the science of the game,
you will discover that sometimes these
two are inconsistent, and you will
purposely fail to Nah Jongg when by
so doing you can increase your score.
Those who have played bridge whist
viii see in this an analogy to the two
fold purpose Of that game, l. e., to
win rubbers, and ITO run up big honor
scores. Sometimes in bridge, player
purposely loses rubber" to fatten his
honor score by doubling an opponent.
So in Nah Jongg.
This playing to the score is some
thing at which one becomes proficient
by practice and familiarity with scor-
ing values, and for the beginner 1t IS
well to play each hand TO Nah Jongg
