You cannot just let the clubhead
fan on the ball; you must hit
through it too. Getting the club
head to meet the ball properly Is
only half the shot
Before starting the follow through
YOU must feel the clubhead on the
hall and you must have In nina
the front part of the imaginary di-
rection line as shown in my central
picture Keep going with rhythm.
Don't let go of the follow through.
The clubhead should paint right for
the, follow through. Be sure to re-

after the ball issstfuck for II IS the
little line to follow to the point out
in front: then the club and hands
should be called or brought IN py
throwing the cIubhead completely
over the left shoulder. Sometimes
it is well to lengthen your follow
through along this line thence the
clubhead should follow UP naturally
into a full follow through.
The right hand should go under
for three feet. Avoid bringing
the hands up too abruptly. Study
the position Of hands and left
knee in the right .picture. 1t

them go out just for enough for

Why Forget Our Raising?

Some of us forget we were ever
poor or in need
Some, or the most of us, If we just
happen to get a financial lift, forget
too soon the little poor place where we
grew up. Not raised just by chance
and pOvidence they came out whole.
When we do and happen to pull through
and get an education, we go to town
and borrow lot of money, make big
appearance, swell up, rare back, tell
what we have done for our community
and how much more we are going to
do.
Trying to tell folks how to take care
of their health, what to eat, how often
TO take a bath. how long to sleep, and
never get too cold or too hot and a
thousand other things that working
people would starve to death trying to
do: telling how much time to take off
for recrpations or sport of some kind
forgetting all the time what we did
when we were growing up.
When we, or the most of us, were
growing up we never had a bath or
our heads washed from the time the
creeks got too cold to go in swimming
until they were warm enough again.
And for recreation or sport we chop
ned wood, built fence or shucked corn
so when the weather was warm we
could go to work and not have to quit
and get the wood or let our poor old
mothers, looking old enough at thirty
TO be sixty. get 1t.
For diet. we went to the table three
times n day and ate all we could hold
II il was there and If it wasn't we quit
and growled about being hungry.
Some of ms don't quit at that. We
don't stop and look back over what
we did when we were growing and
when a poor girl or boy comes in from
the country we hold stiff neck, look
down on them and slur their parents
because they don't move TO town and
bring them up in society.
When It hadn't been more than a
cats age since we knew no more about
society that hog does pitching horse
shoes and lived on little backwOods
farm where we could hear a wagon
coming over the rocks five miles and
every kid I'm the house would run to a
crack in the wall to peep out and sec
who IL was Ii If was someone who
wanted TO speak to dad everyone of us
would run out where they were talking
and climb on top of the fence or gate
post and sit there until the visitor left
We were in as much credit out on
that little hill farm in the sight OF
our Lord as we are now II we have
been honest all our lives.
Let's don't take the bloat over d
little lift in the world. We are all hu
mans wherever we may be-
And all started poor If we didn't

Pioneer School Days

Corning, April 20.-I will say rev
words in regard to pioneer school days
TO give the young people and the rising
generation an idea Of the progress thaI
has been made in school ana scnool
house and type of education in the last
sixty years. As ! stated in my Other
article. my first school was at the Uncle
Billie johnson school house ON Glaze
Creek. 1 will now give you a descrip-
tion OF the school house.
1t was built of huge logs and the
cracks were chinked with sticks, dauD-
ed with mud. At the front OF the mousse
there was one long door ana at the
other end large fireplace about SIX
feet wide. The chimney was OF stlchs
and mud, the fireplace out or rock
One large window in each side of the
house with shutters instead OF glass
The floor was Of puncheon logs. our
benches were trees split OPEN holes
bored in the rounded side and STICKS
put in for legs. We sat ON the split
side, with no backs on the seats.
Our writing desk was made Of two
of these seats, one on top OF the other'
we used then what was called fo0lscap
paper to write on, in the place Of a
blackboard, with copy set by our
teacher.
Our pens were made from goose
quills and our ink made from polk
berries. We used what is called old
fashioned states to do our arithmetic
work on.
| never went to free school in my
fire. The schools were paid for by
subscriptions by our parents or guar
dians.
NV next school was the old White
school on Glaze Creek. After that l
went to the Antioch church school.
There are old men living yet who
remember these old log cabins, among
them being Uncle Charley Johnston
Uncle John A. Johnson, Uncle Thomas
Jones, Uncle Wess Lewis and Uncle
John Powell. Each will remember
those old log cabins well

Poynor, Mo-, April 20.-I notice an
article in your paper from Corning,
written by G. w. Wright, an Old-timer
and by-the-way, one of my old chums
In reading il over it brought to my
mind many things that happened III
our boyhOOd days. The school he re-
ferred to | well remember.
This too was the first school Lever
attended and how | remember that
old plum orchard that Uncle William
Johnston used to turn us in on Friday
evening. And how well | remember
that boys that went to school. There
was John Hawkins, Haywood Thoml-
son, jeff FOnbush, A. j. Witt, and
many, many others that | could name
but can't recall many living now.
About three years ago | was at
Jonesboro and of course | called at
E. Foster Browns Office. We had a
long talk about the school at Uncle
Billie Johnston's This was the second
time | had seen him in 81 years.
He too. remembered the little log
house with no floors but the one that
the Creator made when He made the
earth.
Yes, Charley, I think the kind of
cabin you are contemplating would be
the greatest thing Of all When it is
completed let everyone who has old
time articles, such as candle molds,
old iron grease lamps, old wooden
churns,, old fashioned pot racks, bring
them in.

Five Women 90 Try 10 Swim
the English Channel

No Women So Far Have
Accomplished This Feat
Five women, perhaps more, will Try to
swim the English Channel this year and
meet the challenge to their sex offered
by this twenty mile stretch Ut Yue- ridden
wind. swept water between Dover and
Cape Girls Nez.
For Men Only"
Thus far the channel might raise such
a def. Out of hundreds who have tried,
only five swimmers have succeeded in
c~rossing-and all these have been men.
But this supreme test of physical endur-
ance is not to 90 UNDECIDED by women,
even in The face of repeated failures.
Five of the women who have definitely
slated themselves to make the ATTEMPT
this year are Miss Lillian Cannon, cham
pion swimmer of Baltimore, who has all
ready sailed; Gertrude Ederle, who failed
last year because of seasickness; Helen
Wainwright, another famous American
girl swimmer; Lillian Harrison, of Ar
g%entina, who has repeatedly failed, and
Miss Eva Morrison, Boston's champion
woman swimmer.
Miss Cannon, who will make the at
tempt about July Il, will be accompan-
led during the swim by her two big
Chesapeake Bay dogs, ChesacrOft Drake
and Mary Montauk. This, as far as is
knoWn n, will be the first attempt by ami
mails to cross the channel.
Other women swimmers who have in.
dicated that they may make the attempt
are Suzane Wurtz and Jean Sion, both of
France. They have not yet formally err
tered the lists. The men who will try
this year are Ishak HeImy, Omer Perrault
and Jean DemieVille.
Scientists, as well as athletes, have
puzzled over the reasons why women
have failed in what is recog nized to be
more a test of stamina than mere
strength. The five men who succeeded
in swimming the channel were not all
particularly noted for physical prowess.
A good percentage of those who have
made the attempt, men and wOmen both,
succeeding in getting within a mile or
two of their goal. 1t is the last nile that
beats them. 1t took one man who sue
ceeded ten hours to swim the last mile
and three quarters of the twenty mile
stretch.
From the viewpoint of physical make
up, women are as we'll adapted as men
for swimming. In fact, it is held that
