groups the question of legislation is
it is proposed to promote legislation
which will retain the equalization fee,
which was the principal stumbling
block that brought about the veto of
the McNary-Haugen bill. Leaders
in the executive and legislative
branches of the government are OPP
posed to this fee system, which will
take the form of bounty from the
government. The agricultural prob
lem also figures prominently in the
deliberations of organized business
men. The U. S. Chamber of Com
merce has given over a portion of it's
program to the farm problem this
coming week. The idea is to evolve
a practicable and permanent method
by which the farmer and the indus
trialist can work together to mutual
advantage, rather than at cross pur-
poses. 1t is splendid ideal and
may soon reach practical basis.
The romance of mystery which. is
usually associated with tales of Wash
ington is rapidly retreating before
business progress. The historic
homes in Washington wherein politi-
cal and diplomatical intrigue have
been laid are being demolished to
make way for office buildings and
fashionable apartment houses. This
week found the carpenters making al
terations on the notorious rendezvous
of the Harding Administration, known
as the Little Green House" on X
Street. 1t will be recalled that this
house figured prominently in the ex-
pose of wild scandals, and it has re-
manned with closed shutters for sew
eral years. Now it is for sale as
business property, and across the
street the famous Vanderbilt Mansion,
the scene of many social triumphs is
ready for the wrecking crew. Dir
ectly opposite the White House the
famous residence of John Hay, once
Secretary of State, has been torn down
and now a commercial hotel is under
construction on a site overlooking the
official home of the President.

what you can to relieve the distress
and suffering to the thousands of
poor people who are victims of the
greatest catastrophe in our country's
history.
AS the need for funds is urgent, and
action must be taken to collect funds
at once, l would ask that some one
in each town and village
in the county take it upon themselves
to raise funds and remit as quickly
as possible to me and will forward
same to Mr. Baxter, at st. Louis.

have always responded to like appeals

Next week the law prohibiting the

will become effective. The postmas-
tiers have already been notified con-
corning the regulations, and every
precaution will be taken to guard
against the sale of deadly weapons to
others than authorized persons. This
method may not stop banditry, but
it will undoubtedly check the flow of
guns into the hands of daring youths
and facilitate the capture of gum

to the East is another indication of
limberness toward the end of the sea
son. as was shown in 1925, there is no
pennant in sight for Chicago. On
their last Eastern trip the Cubs drop
ped 10 out Of IS games and followed
this up by losing in Pittsburgh on
Thursday and dropping from the lead.
Chicago's second trip to the East
was poor one, as well as the third,
which has just been completed. The
second and third trips of the Pirates
were very Indifferent. The st. Louis
team made a miserable trip the first
time and both the second and third
tours were admirable.
The st. Louis team left the East
convinced that it is in the hunt and
that it will divide the world series
money with the Yankees again. In
some respects the team is better forti-
fed for the last few weeks of the
pennant race than either the Pirates
or the Cubs. One important thing
that the st. Louis fans must do is
to convince the players that the st.
Louis ground is not a hoodoo to them
They think it is. They think there
is ink in the center field of the
st. Louis stand which prevents them
from batting well. Perfectly absurd,
of course--but base ball players are
not always consistent.

He says that by starting golf at
this early age very little has to be
done in the way of instruction outside
of showing the young ones how to grip
the club, as nine out of ten will place
their left hand below their right.
MacFarlane advises parents to have
their children follow them about the
course, unless their own game is such
they would not be eager to have their
children copy 1t. In such cases the
club professional should be taken
, along.
Aids Young Golfers.
Great Britain does more for the
girls and boys than America in ar
ranging a national championship for
children. These events stimulate in
terest among the younger golfers. and
it is an honor to be the boy champion
or the girl champion.
Massachusetts has had junior
championship for years, and few
other sectional associations in Amer
lea hold such events. 1t would be i'm
possible to hold national champion
ships in America for boys and girls, be
cause the distances here would hardly
permit obtaining representative
field but more sectional champion
ships should be held for the young
golfers.
A great many American clubs al
low caddies to play on Monday morn
ings, and toward the close of the sea
son they have a caddy championship
which stimulates interest among the
boys. Chick Evans has done great
deal for the caddies at the Edgewatal

1T OVER

Observing our best golfers consti-
tutes the easiest and most efnclent
method of learning to hit golf ball.
This is especially true of children,
who seem to absorb much more than
their elders by watching good players.
This probably is due to the pliable
muscles of the young, which permits
them to initiate the style OF the
others.
children should be encouraged to
pIay golf as soon as they are able to
walk, if their parents hope to develop
them into great golfers. Virtually all
the golfers leading the field in Amer
ica today have played since childhood.

The same holds true with the pro-

Instructor of children. His advice is
TO put a golf club in the hands OF chill

was winning on the cinders.
Then Nebraska got Schultz and for
four or five years Nebraska was Su-
preme both in track and foot ball.
While Nebraska was taking five con-
secutive valley track titles. Missouri
began to build up her gridiron sys-
tenn so that she captured two foot
ball championships.
Then Oklahoma rose and beat out
the Cornhuckers for the 1925 track
championship, but the Lincoln Uni,
versity came back in 1926. This year
Oklahoma and Nebra ska were slated
to fight it out for the track. but both
had hard luck and Kansas prevailed.
