The Once Over


THE RETURN OF THE USED GOLF BALL
Immediate results of the stock market crash, de-
bacle, panic, break or what have you are being felt
on the golf links OF the country. Players have re-
turned to the Old-fashioned custom Of making an ex-
tensive search for lost balls.
Il never saw anything like it." said Red" Gala
han. a well-known caddy, today. For the past four
or five years few players have shown any concern
about q lost ball. They'd look a few seconds for 1t,
but if they didn't find it right away. they'd unwrap
a new dollar ball and put it in play.

During the last few days golfers have been spending
so much time in the woods looking for lost balls that
you would thing they we're forestry students. A
man won't stop looking for ball now until his caddy
has crawled around on his hands and knees through
the underbrush and used everything but q search war
rant to find 1t.
up to the big break in stocks most players thought
no more OF a go1 ball than Heinz thought Of a bean.

balls in succession into a shallow brook and tell me

It's terrible. If you want to knew where the stock

Jonah Story on jug

An independent version of the story
of Jonah and the whale probably cur
rent in ancient Greece long before the
Hebrew Bible was written, Is believed
to be depicted on decorated pottery
jug found in the former Greek island
of Cyprus and recently acquired by
the British museum.
The scene painted on the Jug, prob
ably at least % centuries ago. shows
a ship from which a sailor is falling
or being thrown into the waves.
Awaiting him in the water is a great
fish, apparently ready to swallow him.
The jug shows evidence, according
to the museum authorities, of having
been made by some potter of ancient
Cyprus, who was influenced by the
Ph0enician sailors and traders, then
numerous in the Mediterranean

Pullets and Hens Pay
Better if Kept Apart

In order to lay the maximum mum.
Der of eggs during The winter, pulels
that are ready to lay must be well fed
during the fall and winter months.
They should be we'll developed and
carry surplus of fat before they are
placed in winter quarters. Since
these birds are ready for egg produc-
ton, they should be given feed that
will enable them to lay during this
season of high prices. Allowing pull
lets free range to good laying mash
will bring them into production and
make them return a profit during the
winter.
After they stop laying in the fall
there is natural tendency for hens
in the old laying flock to eat much
less mash than they. have been eat
ing. 1t, therefore, is a good plan to
increase the grain allowance in order
to keep them in good flesh. The hens
which are to be used as breeders next
spring should be given q vacation this
winter so that the Matching eggs they
lay will produce strong, healthy
chicks.-Illinois College of Agrieul-
