Uut with RlCker IL was q QlHer6nL
story. Fernald White, a nineteen
year old youth from Kennebunk,
shooting golf that will forever be re-
membered in Maine golf history, met
and defeated the title holder one
down. White, shooting perfect golf,
was five up at the turn. Kicker took
Al where par is SO. White increas-
ed his lead until he was dormie six.
Here was where Rickers' great fight
began, six down and only six to
play Kicker seemingly beaten then
carried his youthful opponent to the
last green. Three under par for the
last six holes, only to have the last
hole halyed and the match lost, yes
a hard blow.
Youthful White Weakens
/ A birdie four on the fourteenth
for Kicker seemed to dishearten
White, for on the next hole White
drove out of bounds and lost to
Ricker's par. A par three won the
fifteenth for Kicker, as did a birdie
three on the next, both of these
scores were the result of pheno-
monal puts. Ricker's drive on the
seventeenth was only few feet
from the pin, and birdie two put
him only one down. He won FIVE
straight holes by playing the most
spectacular golf ever seen on the
Augusta links.
The next, and last hole, was halv-
ed in par five, which gave the match
to White. Last year Kicker won the
championship after defeating White,
one down, in the second round.
White was good then but is one of
the best now. He has good chance
at the title and it looked last night
as though he would meet Doctor Ty-
son in the finals.
Hiehborn and Viles Qualify
Alden sHichborn and Bill Viles
were the only, other Augusta play
ers to qualify. These two men were
drawn together for the first round,
Hichborn winning Az. Haynes
Wheeler Of Augusta, was tied with
D.. A. Poison Of Portland, George
Stobie of Waterville and C. w. Rick
place. In the playoff Stobie won the
place with a par four on the second
hole, the others going into the sec
ond sixteen.
Pete Pierce Eliminated
Smith Dunnack hit the high spots
on every green for a total of 81. Had
his putting been good Dunnack
would have been in 1.-THE first division.
Pete Pierce found his trouble too.
His driver. usually accurate. was of
on every tee. Pete seemed to alter
nate on the tees, first hook, then a
slice, but he showed his golf by
shooting three brides in his round.
H. l.. Pishon and r. H. Jackson of
Augusta were also in the third d.
vision. w. P. Adams and F. j. Nc
Ardle Of Augusta are in the fourth
division.
Eagles were made on two holes.
Garrett Speirs of Willowdale sunk
$50 yard brassie on the first hole for
a two. this was easily the feature
shot of the day. On the fourth hole
Roger Shows approach laid on the
rim until pared in for a three by DIR.
Tysons approach. Tyson here had
a birdie but lost the hole.

GIMME MINE-PLL SEND YOURS

The average merchant is not a hold up" artist
even though he may be accused of it by stran-
gers and some home people. There are too many
"home" people just like the stranger, who must
have "spasm" over the cost price of any article
they wish to buy.
The real strange thing about it is that these
game, demand the last living cent. Again this
same element want their money on the dot when
it is due, but when THEY owe it is up to you to
get it as best you can-and when it is most con-
venient to them. At that they feel you are great
ly favored because they paid you after long
drawn out fight and expense to get it.
When it costs in the neighborhood of $14 per
hour to run The Sun and goodly share Of that is
givenafreely toward making the town worth while
to merchants and others.
1t is possible for some specialist where labor
and other conditions cheaper, to beat the local
merchant on the prices of some goods, just as he
is able to beat the local printer. The local busi-
man takes his losses, pays his taxes helps to
build up the town and believes he is entitled to
local trade. The printer believes the same thing,
but too often the merchant forgets the printer
when it is his turn
When The Sun gets job of, any size it is be-
cause it has underbid foreign houses all over the
southwest, from Kansas. City to Los Angeles.
The amount that can be saved each merchant is
very small as compared to the amount the mer-
chant loses in not being consistent. He should
not expect others to do what he will not do.
1t is an even swap all the way around if all
hands play square and wonderful system of
helping to build city.

A coMpE1444yE GOVERNMENT

C.sL. Stevens, publisher of the Register at War
rem, Mimi who has extensive experience in legis-
lative matters, comments as follows on the gov
ernnent envelope printing business:
"The printers Of the country are trying to in
terest the special joint committee of congress as
to the injustice done them by the governments
competition with them in the envelope-printing
business but If the committee favors the righting
of the wrong it has given no evidence of it. This
is not only snbjecting the printers to a kind of
competition that no other kind of business has to
contend with, but it is cutthroat competition apd
competition not in the least based on business
principles. Nobody but the government could
conduct large business at constant loss with
out going to the wall eventually. The government
loses money every time it prints firms envel-
opes-aild that loss has to be made up by taxa
ton. Moreover, the government discriminates in
regard to envelope-prnting. The man whose cor
respondence is too small to warrant his purchase
of envelopes in lots of at least 500 must go else
where than, to the government printing office to
get his printing done This discrimination is an
advantage given to "big business" It would be
just as legitimate for Uncle Sam to engage in the
manufacture of hats, coats and socks-but what
howl would go up all over the country from the
users now of government printed envelopes if~he
were to do such thng!"
1t is suggested that printers should write con-
gressmen and senators about it but we can see no
reason for that since every one of them know iust
how printers feel on the subject A judcious
switching of votes might make them sit up and
take notice.

WOULD MAKE BOOSTING. STATEWIDE

Tucson last month raised funds to advertise
Tucson; Phoenix is now in the throes. of raising
funds to advertise Phoenix
But neither Tucson nor Phoenix are all of Ari-
zona, and Arizona as a whole comprises more to
attract the tourist than either advertise The
greatest natural bridge in the world-Rainbow
Arch Grand Canyon, thousand and one ruins of
prehistoric race, Petrified forests the Painted
desert, the widest country in the United States,
lying southwest of Tucson, the White Mountains,
practically unpenetrated by the camper, these are
only fewsof the charms Arizona has to offer the
tourist.
In place of Tucson advertising just Tucson, and
Phoenix advertising just Phoenix, would it not
be better for Phoenix and Tucson to Join hands
with Prescott, Douglas, Bisbee and other cities
and form statewide advertising club? Would
not the increased returns for the state generally
be more advantageous to Tucson or to Phoenix,
than the returns from an individual advertising
campaign by any one city?
The day is coming when, as the Arizona Gazette
says the state viii become great not only in hor-
lcuture and agriculture but in manufacturing as
we'll. Out Of the Colorado river some day will be
irrigated 35O0,O00 acres of land Out of the river
will be produced 100000 horse power of cleo
-trreefourths of all that now is in use in
the entire world. That day is, coming but
would not a concentrated advertising campaign
by the state as whole hasten the coming of that
day?-Tucson Star

SAFEGUARDING AGAINST FIRE

Statistics of fire losses from different countries
show that the United States has the worst record
Of any in per capita fire losses
The Engineering World discusses our annual
loss which is now more than half billion dollars,
or over S5 per capita. 1t shows that the losses in
1924 as aofficially given, Indicate that they are
at least 10 or Is million dollars more than in 1923.
{ IL draws one. conclusion--any solution of the
national fire loss problem, will be found,in an edu-
Icatlve process to- overcome this increasing waste
The magnitude of the problem can be grasped by
the statement that destruction from all kinds of
fires has increased 269 per cent in the 20 years
prior to 1928.

OUR AIR SERVICE

The four great complaints so far as we have
been able to observe, against the air service are:
The army wants to control the air service.
The navy wants to control the aif-service.
The air men want to control the air service
The people of the United States suggest that
during peace times they should not be compelled
to pay war time taxes.
President Coolidge has takensides with the peo-
pie at large and in endeavoring to get taxes back
to reasonable basis insisting upon cutting down
instead of increasing army, navy and airplane ex-
penses, has encouraged the displeasure Of
The army.
The navy.
The air service.
But, has pleased all the folks who pay the
freight.
We believe in the personnel of the army, the
navy, the air service They are the best in the
world
The people have paid the taxes to, educate these
warriors. 1t is their sole life job with retirement
on pay at the end Of their service. That's only
fair, but the people of the United States have q
right to say that our trained arms should not
force financial surplus from the people. just to
carry out their personal ideas Undoubtedly they
are loyal and honest in their intentions but some
times overdo it.

has been of incaculable value during these diff

ambitious men. Today the George Washingtons
