 At the fourth tee betting was even but when the players, officials and gallery were holing out at the fifth green the b0okmakers were offering Zito against the field.
 IL took less than two hours Co make the nine holes and the players finish ed strong. From seoffers at the sport as an old mans game they had been converted in their first time at play to golf fans.
 Some of the losers felt that luck was with the champion and feel that he will never again make as low as sixty. Zito. however. says he will do better next time. But as matter of fact Zita's playing was remarkable for one who had never handled club before and apparently he is natural golf player To keep silent he start ed with his pipe between his teeth.

brakas in nerfect condition, you may be able
10 zhrinp your machine to standstill within
about thirty-eight feet. And you will be borne
ont in this, apparently, by recognized charts OF
braking performance.
But actually can you? You may know thai
vour carts braking mechanism will respond in
stantly to your foot the pedal.
But what about the speed OF your mental
machinery.
How quickly, after your mind senses a"
emergency, can you jam on the brakes!
The answer to this question, as the result
of recent discoveries by the United State bureau
of standards, suddenly is revealed as factor OF
tremendous Importance in the appalling toll u
death and injury from traffic accidents For
these discoveries instruments have demonstrated
the surprising fact that for the average driver
an interval of at least half, second elapses
from the time he senses warning of danger
until he can jam on the brakes. And after this
half-second interval of delay speeding
at thirty miles an hour will travel distance
of twenty-five feet before the brakes ap-
piled.
In other Words instead of being able to stop
vour car with four-wheel brakes within dis
lance of thirty-eight feet, as you believe the
distance actually will be nearly sixty feet, if you
are an average driver And if you are below the
average in quickness of mental response, the
distance will be even greater.
Applied to various rates of speed, the BIZ
reau measurements show astonishing results as
to the distances travelled in the half-second o.
mental reaction established the average. Al
a speed of fifteen miles an hour the progress
of the car during this interval is II feet; at 20
miles, IS feet; at Is miles, 10 feet; at 80 miles:
% feet, and at 40 miles about % feet.-Popular

THE BORDER LINE.

r. RED HADLEY, the former editor of the
r. Wianebago Enterprise, sees things on BON
sides of the American-MeXican border.
When writing about conditions north of the
line he says:
"Out in this part of the world, if you a
long string of parked automobiles in the vicin
ity of house or building undergoing constru1-
ton, don't think that some one is giving par
ty, that there is a first-class funeral going
on Those parked autos, and they are al good
ones, belong to the me1 on the job. The car
penters, plasterers, masons and fathers all ride
to their work in automobiles, and they can well
afford to with the wages they draw One
plasterer in this vicinity comes to work in a
sedan, and is dressed like banker. When he
gets to the job, he puts on his working clothes:
and siaps on the plaster for eight hours, draws
500, changes to his glad scenery and rolls home
in his palatial machine. And the school teach
ers and college professors have a hard time
making living. The moral is plain: learn a
trade, young man."
But after going down to Tia Juana in
Mexico he pens these words
BLOCKS of saloons, staggering men anG
women; jazz music with maudlin laughte":
types of humanity that you imagined had van
ished from the North American continent;
swarthy faced Mexicans, women of easy smiles
and easy virtues; hard eyes and hard faces;
greed for money matter how the money is
obtained; entertainers of both sexes singing
ribald songs in voices that have long since lost
any traces of melody and sweetness; surging
crowds of overdressed people mingling at the
bars with those clad in rags and tatters:
men with babies in weaving as they walk
down the streets; vile liquors sold at eXorbi-
tsat prices; girls with short skirts and short
consciences Turing the unwary; society swells
and pickpockets; criminals and curiosity seek
ers in search of thrill; and shr:
voices; crowds gathered at the gambling table.
betting huge piles of silver. How the devil
must rejoice when he views his masterpiece :

LAND O. Els.

Last night lay dreaming
And rendering DER and DER,
Whether to leave old "North Star"
And seek Western shore
Where golden fruit and sunshine
Make their seductive plea,
When on the air came these words rare.
.'The Land O'Lakes for me!'
s.What tho these lakes are frozen
For long months of the year?
Our Northern cline breeds strong men,
And men who know not fear.
Fair roses in December
On childhood's cheeks l see,
Thought it's not May, / think I'll stay!
The Land O'Lakes for mel
When winter reigns no longer
Then waken sleeping BROOKS;
When sunshine rays grow stronger
Then flowers peep from hooks;
When Father Mississippi rolls onward to tn:
sea,
And gentle spring doth treasures bring
The Land OLakes for me!
Dear land! where Hlawatha
Once wooed his love so fair,
We now see smiling acres
And fields all titled with care;
Where busy boats are plying
Upon our inland sea-
And balsam trees perfume the breeze,
The Land O'Lakes for me!
Here men have formed great highways
Across our wide domain,
And beauteous, winding by-ways
Thru Ramsey Park-by name
Where Nature made play ground
A happy place to be,
Come friend-some day perhaps you'll stay
In Land O'Lakes with me!'
