Helpful Hints by

JOYCE wETHERED-
MASTERY OF SWING

JOYCE WETHERED-
MASTERY OF SWING
1t is the commonest thing to see
the greatest players playing shots
from the fairway up to the hole with
monotonous precision, and yet to find
them at times strangely crooked from
the tee. Probably two chief reasons
exist for this rather perplexing fact.
1t is quite possible that the ball, when
it is tecd up, free from direct con-
tact with the ground. is peculiarly
sensitive to various spins which arise
from any divergence from q perfectly
true swing; and to support this
theory, it is q noticeable fact that
some players, when they find them
selves hitting their drives amiss, dis
card the tee altogether and play the
ball directly off tho ground. The
contact may have stcadying effect
on the stroke.
Another reason may be that tho
harder players hits the more he
accentuates the slightest error in
striking.
A lady, or man with only moderate
height, may (be rarely in trouble
simply because they do not get far
enough to matter. But pr0long the
direction line of their shots and they
may soon find themselves in very
serious difficulties. a.

Too Early For Estimates
1T is too early in tho season to give

ton for fall rye. The acreage, how
ever, is somewhat decreased from that
Of last season.
"The condition of winter wheat at
this time appears in general to be
favorable. and up to the present no
reports OF serious winter killing have
been received.
There seems to be an ample sup
ply of seed grain and vigorous cam
paign has been inaugurated by the
Northwest Grain Smut Prevention
committee for its proper treatment.
Farmers rs a whole realize that
smutty grain reduced the agricultural
income of the northwest by a large
amount last year, and arc cooperating
in an attempt to avoid such condi-
ton this season.
up to this time we have not been
able to obtain accurate information
on the contemplated acreages of vari-
Gus grains as compared with other
years. but will be in position to fur
nish estimates in an early letter."

WHAT WASHINGTON SAID

The time Of year has arrived when
patriotic Americans begin to think
little more than usual about the
Father of his country. Orators for
century have liked to dwell on
Washington's farewell address to
the American people which is ad-
mittedly one of the finest things of
its kind ever penned, in America or
elsewhere.
Of late there has been "a disposi-
ton in certain quarters to decry
Washington's advice, especially on
international affairs, as timeworn
and out of date. Washington, it will
be well remembered, admonished us
as nation to beware of foreign en-
tanglements, to keep free of Euro
pean alliances and diplomatic bar
gainings, to keep on friendly terms
with all nations, but to make favor
ties Of none.
Now some of our budding states
men declare that times and condi-
tions have changed, that we are so
strong this advice is no longer nee
essary. But George Washington did

not write a mere political program.
He enunciated a principle of con-
duct, and principles founded on
truth and common sense never
change. The ten commandments are
just as sound and logical as they
were two thousand years ago.
Times have not changed so much
either. There were leagues and holy
alliances then as now. No sooner
was the young republic launched
than European nations tried to use
it as a catspaw, and it was only the
wise guidance of Washington, and
men like him, in those early days,
which prevented the carrying out of
these schemes. For there were men
then too, who thought our destiny
was in Europe rather than America.
It is true that we have grown i'm
measurably stronger that we are
now perhaps singly the most power
full nation on the globe. But other
nations have grown more powerful
too, and it is not nearly so far across
the Atlantic as it was in the year
1900. Besides all Europe is in debt
to us, either to our government or
to our bankers. This for the first
time, makes possible a common
American policy on the part of Eu-
ropean nations.
Therefore, as February 22nd ap-
proaches and we hear vain boasts
from the lips of certain information
al brothers that we are headed
straight for the League Of Nations,
let us not forget that Washington
spoke not for his day alone but for
the future of America, because truth
is eternal. Washington's advice is
not discredited by age any more
than the Ten Commandments.

had retired to the back country and
lived in a wigwam. If l shall be
able to rise superior to these and
many other difficulties which may
be enumerated, 1 shall most religi-
Ously believe that the finger of Pro-
vidence is in it, to blind the eyes of
our enemies; for surely if we get
well through this month it must be
from want of their knowing the dis
advantages we labor under"
To his brother Augustin, Wash
ington wrote later: 81 believe 1 may
with great truth affirm that no man,
perhaps, since the first institution
of armies, ever commanded one
under more difficult circumstances
than I have done. To enumerate the
particulars would fill volume.
Many of my difficulties and dis
tresses were of so peculiar a cast
that in order to conceal them from
the enemy, I was obliged to conceal
them from my friends and indeed
from my own army.
On another occasion Washington
wrote: Gould 1 have forseen what
I have and am likely to experience
no consideration on earth should
have induced me to accept this COM
mand. A regiment or any sub-ordin
ate department would have been ac-
cOmpanied with ten times the salts
faction and perhaps the honor. ****
The army as usual is without pay
and a great part of the sOldiery
without shirts; and through the pa
tience OF them is equally thread
bare, it seems to be a matter of
small concern to those at dis
tancc.".
So wrote the Father of His Coun-
try and the greatest figure in Amer
lean history. 1t proves that the
great have their annOyances as well
as the small. And that he could
win under such circumstances
makes it all the more important
that we honor the day of his birth.
