a critical moment when defeat and

an arms length away.
1t was in the semi finals. Francis
Ouimet of Boston was his opponent
Ouimet had been down at the siN-

play Il safety shot.
AS matters stod he was still on
the green, though 40 feet from the
hole. That lucky break was slim
ulant Marston proceeded to shock
the gallery by sinking the long putt
for birdie two.
The effect the lucky break, plus
the successful putt, had on Ouimet
is hard to describe.
AS Marston' ball dropped into the
cup Ouimet WINGED as if an unseen
hand had popped him on the chin.
That the, effect was not wholly i'm

Imagine Ouimet, greatest of anna

putt!
Marston won the next hole, too,
and was never headed.

But that is an incidental matter.
Is Carpenter really as good as he

Well, it's cinch he isn't any

this late in life is not the kind of
weight that does you any good in

Carpenter May BE Just a Shell
Carpenter undoubtedly takes the
Gibbons fight seriously and has
trained conscicntiously. This prob

But what about the condition of
his interior? JeffricS looked great

the first punch Johnson landed to

A trim, well-muscled body is not

Carpenter likes his wine, his Gig

FARMER IS NO
BETTER OFF THAN
EVER IS CLAIM
nv United Press Leased wire


WHEATON, Mimi, July 25.-
"The speculator and not the farmcr
is pocketing profits from present
livestock and grain markets.
Nov that prices are mp, the
farmers have nothing much to sell.
SO far rs agricultural relief is con
cerned, the present situation means
nothing. 1t is fictitious market. .
This was the statement of +. W.
Murphy, chairman of the executive
board of the American Council of
Agriculture.
"The farmer is getting absolutely
nothing out of the present market.
Murphy told the United Press.
Even if he had grain to sell, he
could make no profit on the mar
ket today, for it costs 1915 to pro
duce bushel of wheat, sixty cents
to produce n bushel of oats and Sli
hundred to produce hogs for
market, he said.
! "On the first of July when
+ prices started upward the average
! farmer had not more than ten per
cent of the last years crop in
! storage. This he needs for feed ln-
/ til the new crop is harvested and
what he doesn't feed he must save
for seed until this year s crop is
in and he is sure of seed for the
the next year.
"On today s market-the purchas-
ing power of the farmer is only
seventy percent of what it was in
1913. The farmer S purchasing
power depends upon prices at the
primary market and not at the ter
minal market.
'sThe farmer has to pay the
freight to the terminal market and
he has to pay the freight from the
terminal market to the farm on
what he buys.
"Freight rates are twice as high
rs they were in 1914.
There is a good crop prospect in
the northwest, but conditions are
such everywhere else that there
will he world shortage of between
100000 and 400,0OO,O00 bushels
of wheat. There is q carry over
from last year of less than 100000
600 bushels. and on the basis, the
present market price for wheat
should be at least 50 a bushel IN
Minneapolis. Farmers up here need
at least that much for wheat, to
pay out.
Murphy said that the American
Council of Agriculture, organized
here July II and II will have an
important announcement early this
week.
