What is the present rule re-

BY JOCK HUTCHINSON
British open Champion, 1921, Runner
up. American Open, 1920. Western
Open Champion, 1923

The present rule regarding sty-
mics Is that they must be played in
match play only. A player is laid
. stymie II, on the putting green. the
opponents ball Is in the line of his
putt to the hole; provided, however.
the balls be not within six inches of
each other. II a player knocks his
opponents ball in the hole when put
ting, the opponent shall be consider
ed as having holed his putt in the
number Of strokes he was then lying.
Practicing the pitch and roll
around" in order to overcome the dis
advantage of being laid symie is
one Of the things to which every good
professional devotes much time.

ample, post cards mailed in Christian

very at other Offices on the island and

Ii cents for each 2 %ounces), for delivery

ter must be prepaid at the letter rate
of postage, l cent in town, z cents
to all domestic and a number of for

Small or odd sized greeting cards in

room enough fer the address. postage

merging one into the other, often rem

the matter unbelievable, not TO say
anything about the lack of neatness
and the unpresentable appearance of

convey just the opposite impressions.
These small pieces of mail cannot con-
veniently run through the cancellng
machine for postmarking, they cannot
be well tied up IN packages, and often
fall out in "trarsit, and sometimes at this
season Of the year when a lot of matter
is posted in open envelopes tiny cards
fall inside larger envelopes, go astray
and may be lost. Therefore, besides reliev-
ing the Postal Service of handling them,
small sized cards should not be used by
mailers, in their own interest, and 1t is
suggested that in no case should they be
smaller than 24x4 inches, a somewhat
larger size being preferable.

PLANTS INDEXED SECT
Potato Association of State
Gives Villas County Collec-
ton of Seed.

An appropriation of $4,000 year
from state funds for the Seed Po-
tato Growers association will en-
able the association to bring about
much better results in the produc-
ton of disease free seed potatoes.
Prof. J. G. Milward said on a visit
ITO the Spooner experiment station.
Plans are being made for number
Of meetings among the seed grow
ers this summer, with arrangements
for the annual potato tour through
the northern potato districts by
representatives Of southern and
eastern potato markets.
Mr.. Milward and Melvin Luther,
potato specialists, toured the certi-
fed potato district in the northern
part of the state, visiting the men
to whom indexed seed stock has
been returned from the university
green houses, where the seed was
tested during the winter months.
These growers will plant this stock
in isolated fields under a uniform
system, so that they may produce
Ipure stock.
Prof Milward stated that a crop
of at least 1000 bushels was ex-
pected from this indexed seed. In
addition to the seed from Madison,
$50 bushels of indexed seed were
gathered at the Spooner expert
ment station. This is being put
out in counties in northern Wiscon-
sin among various growers, in an
attempt to get a supply of founda-
ton stock that will show low
mosaic content.
Indexed stock is being planted in
the following counties: Marinette
Oconto3 Oneida, Villas, Langlade
Price, Taylor, Rusk, Barron, Polk,
Burnett, Sawyer, and Washburn.-

Search Land for Liquor.

Warrants for the search Of land
for liquor give officers authority to
search automobiles and other likely
places for liquor, William M. Geiss,
district attorney Of Monroe county,
was advised recently in an opinion
from the attorney general.
An officer with a search warrant
describing forty acres of land as
the place to be searched has ample
authority to search an automobile
located on the forty acres, espec-
tally if the owner of the land owns
the car, j. E. Messerschmidt assis-
tant attorney general wrote. An
other opinion of Mr.. Messerschmidt
ruled that the proprietor of Ii
censed soft drink parlor may be
prosecuted for unlawful possession
of liquor if liquor is found in the
parlor, although placed there with
out the knowledge Of the proprie-
tor. It is the proprietor's duty to
keep his place free from intoxicat-
ing liquors.

To Curb Drunken Drivers.

A new and drastic drunken driv-
err law is now in effect in Michi-
gan. 1t was enacted by the 1925
legislature at the urge of law en-
forcement officials and dry organi-
cations.
Based upon the theory that the
only effective way Of curling traffic
accidents and casualties attribut-
able to drunken driving is to keep
intoxicated motorists off the high
ways; it provides for the manda-
tory suspension of drivers licenses.
A first offender. upon conviction,
must surrender his drivers license
for at least three months. In add
ton the court may sentence him to
pay fine of from $50 to $500 and
to not more than 80 days imprison-
ment. For second or subsequent
oHense the drivers license is auto
matically suspended for at least a
year. The additional penalties are
a fine Of not more than $500, or
not more than one years imprison-
ment, or both.

Center of Rum FIGHT.

Wisconsin drys launched a move
on drug stores in the senate of the
legislature last week, by serving
notice that they would oppose any
legislation aimed to permit drug
gist to dispense soft drinks and at
the same time have any alcohol,
whiskey or other liquors on his
premises. The Wisconsin supreme
court recently held that drug stores
must secure a local license to sell
soft drinks. Under the state law,
however, a holder of license to
dispense notwithstanding beverages
may not have any alcohol or intox-
icants in his place of business.
Practically all druggists in Wlscon-
sin have alcohol and whiskey and
at the same time sell soft drinks.
