What points are to be kept
IN mind when playing a ball
from very soft ground?
Answered by
JOHN BLACK
'sThs Carpenter Of Troon," whose
great gaMeness ana mastery Of golf
make him feared at all tournaments.
Particularly competent on approach
shots.
In playing a ball from soft ground.
the player should first place his foot
firmly on the ground. The backswine
should be a little more upright than
usual, so as to enable one to hit the
ball first and the ground after. keep
ing the weight well forward on the
left foot. If the backswing is flat
the club is liable to hit the ground
til 1t is hit.

leaguers over the long distance tele-

politics, and consequently l don't
know what influences were prevalent
at the jamestown meeting"
The entry of Lemke into the cam
paign, Mr.. Sorlie declared, would re-
act in his (Sorlie's) favor.
Answering some of the charges
made against him at the jamestown
meeting, Mr.. Sorlie declared:
He is not member of the Ku Klux
Klan.
He refuses to mix religion in poll
tics.
He is positively for LaFollette for
president.
Said, that charges that the Rev.
F. Halsey Ambrose of Grand Forks,
had attempted to influence him
against LaFollette are untrue.
He favors removal of the LaFOl-
lotte electors from the Coolidge
column Of the ballot to the LaFol-
lette column in the event they are
bracketed there the same as they
would be in the Coolidge column.

affairs Of government, finance and
ecOnomics--a time when knowledge
and experience are at premium.'
'In the open forum for personal
contact and convention discussions,
our members will share their know
ledge and experience with each 9TH
er," he. declared. "This convention
will be an occasion of peculiar inter-
est to all bankers" Mr.. Head will

the nations business.
An entertainment program equally
as elaborate has been prepared by
the Chicago committee and includes
sight seeing trips, luncheons, theatre
parties, a smoker and golf tourna-
ment.

|G00DING BILL
SUPPORT URGED
IN NO. DAKOTA
Long and Short Haul Pro-
vision Is Declared Vital
To the State
MESSAGE TO CLUBS

Fargo, N. D., Sept 26.-Civic and
commerce clubs of all North Dakota
cities are to be asked to express their
attitude on the Gooding bill, now
pending in congress, which would
take from the interstate commerce
commission power to grant relief
from fourth section violation" of
? the interstate commerce act, it was
decided by the traffic committee of
the Fargo Commercial club at noon
today.
Fl. f. Reynolds, chairman of the
committee, declared that in his opin-
ion this bill is of very vital import
ance to all North Dakota.
Under the fourth section of the
interstate commerce act, no railroad
may haul goods at lessen rate for
shorter distance than for longer
distance over the same line and in
the same direction, but, the I. C. c.
may grant relief from this section,
making exceptions in certain in
stances. If the Gooding bill be-
comes law. no exceptions could be
granted
Ask Long Haul Rate
The competition which transconti-
mental railroads ARE meeting from
ocean traffic via the Panama canal,
has brought about request from
the railroads that they be allowed to
haul freight from the east through
this territory to Seattle and other
| coast cities at a lower rate than they
haul the same freight to intermedi-
| ate points to meet this competition.
This would bring back the same
situation which existed before the
I. c. c. decided the famous Spokane
case. A strong fight is being made
by Spokane and Phoenix, Ariz., these
cities are fighting to have the Good
| ing bill made law, which would
| take from the I. C. C. the power to
grant this request.
| Officials of the traffic bureaus of
these cities have pointed out that if
! this bill is not passed and the request
of the railroads is granted, the rail
roads may haul freight from Chicago
to Seattle, for instance, at much low
er rates than they haul the same
freight from Chicago to North Da-
kota points.
| The present rate on dry goods
from Chicago to Steele, N. D., dis
tance of S12 miles is $1.5S. The rate
to Seattle is the same $1.58. Under
the rate which is now proposed, the
rate to Seattle would be $1.1O and
the rate to Steele would remain the
same as at present $1.58.
Some members of the traffic com
mittee were in favor of going on
record as being opposed to the prin.
ciple of making any lower rate for a
longer than for shorter distance
but it was deci ided to give the matter
considerable more study before put
ting the committee on record and to
ask the sentiment of all other North
Dakota commercial organizations.
