A few Of the things demanded OF
green keeper these days Is q knowl.
edge OF botany, geology, rnineralogy,
road building, concrete work, bridge
wells, and some chemistry. Outside
OF that, the mind OF the greenkeeper
can be an absolute vacuum. John
Frances, who has designed a rather
remarkable new development In the
building OF green's, has taken the
trouble to acquaint himself with
technical knowledge OF all these
things. His methods call for the
installing Of an absorbent at q GER
tain depth and grade, which retains
moisture, but not water. BY this
method the Oakhurst Country Club
greens Of Tulsa, Okla, were built,
and the green's grew during the
hottest weather last Summer, with.
out drop Of rain for three straight
months during which the tempera-
ture often attained 1O4 and was
seldom lower than SO. No water
system was provided for the course.
The water used was by wagon
from a stagant pond a mile or so
rom the course. The original ir-
rlgation was the only water the
green's ever received. The greens
are now said to be among the best
IN the country, as bectuse Of the
moisture system they cannot be
flooded and do not get spotty from
impure water, which are added
advantages to the one of doing
away with piping systems for over
head watering. The cost Of install
ing the green's, according to the
Oakhurst Club, was In no instance
more than a hundred dollars each.
A suggestion is on foot whereby
some half-dozen professionals are to
consider the engagement Of a compe-
tent trainer" to look after their
physical needs at Troon In June
next, for the claims have been made
that the 1922 open at Sandwich was
lost to Great Britain--Walter Hagen
Winning--through the lack of per.
sona1 attention to details for taking
care OF the players. The primitive
tent. which did duty in 1922 as a
washing and dressing room was, it
is said, positively useless and certain
players who at the conclusion of the
third round had a chance of winning
were compelled to walk about in
their cold, rain:drenched clothing

period between the third and final

to contradict the statement. Evans
has twice held the national anna

up once and serni-finalist once. In
1911 he won the French amateur.
In addition to his two national anna

HOW MUCH Is YOUR MONEY WORTH?

Toward the end of the Civil War, when
Confederate paper money was more paper than
money, a Southern officer stopped a farmer on
the road and offered to buy his horse.
'In give you $4,000 for him-what do you
say?" asked the officer.
"You 60 to blazes! p was the farmers reply,
Il just paid $4,000 to have him shod."
Even today, some people claim that a dollar
won't go much more than half as far as it
used to.
But others-the real wise ones-know that
a dollar will go just as far as ever-if they give
it the right start!
They're the people who watch the oppor-
tunity market in the Abe Classified columns
every day-their money is worth one hundred
cents on the dollar because they spend it where
it brings the biggest returns.
