MINIATURE GOLF
COMP ANY STOCK
PAYS SWIFTLY
indianapolis Men Establish
Some Sort of Record
in Dividends.
BY ARCH STEINEL

j. Rufus Wallingford, the Fresh
Air Taxicab, Inc, and it's f1gger -out-
board meetin's," are pikers.
Even though j. Rufus paid divi-
dends on the stock he sold within
twenty-four hours, and Andy de-
clares "divildends" with abandon, it
took an Indiana corporation to beat
the worlds record for psy-off on
stock.
Aug. 5 three men took out ar
ticles of incorporation for the Uni
versal Golf Greens Corporation.
The men, Richard w. Wilkerson,
1907 Ruckle street; John Ogden,
Denison hotel, and Ansil Moffatt, re-
turned to the corporation Offices,
706 Fidelity Trust building, and with
the ink hardly dry on their charter,
declared dividend on the COM
pany's 1000 shares of stock.
1t "Pays OFF" Again
Three days later, wilkerson, as
president, called another meeting
and the stock paid off" again.
And today Wilkerson says, We're
getting ready to declare another
dividend"
Two dividends in three days
how do they do it?
Well, it all revolves around Hoo
siers going "goofy" over pigmy golf.
The incorporators become inter-
ested in an idea which originated
in the west, for permanent fairways
for the miniature putting parks.
Greens in use by the miniature
courses were said to cut and mar
easily.
Patched Like Street Paving
A composition fairway that can
be laid and patched like street paw
ing was taken over by them. Moi
fatt, a chemist, was the original in
ventor of the chemical composition
which makes the fairway mats.
It is a fairway that is held to be
true, lightning fast, and durable.
The day the company was incor-
porated the first state course was
sold, salaries deducted, and divi-
dends declared.
Sawdust, treated with chemicals,
forms the courses fairways.
Orders for other courses followed
with the resultant declaration of a
second dividend.
Wilkerson, president of the COM
pany, is the only one of the incor-
porators who knows the difference
between a mashie and a niblick,
but when it comes to putting divi-
dends in their pockets, we'll, they
Admit they're all champs.

BIZ United Press
BENTON, Ill, Aug. 13-The mud
dled and bitter legal battle between
the John L. Lewis and Alex Howat
forces for control of the United
Mine Workers of America, entered
another stage today in the Illinois
district.
Fifteen coal miners from various
locals in Franklin county late Tues
day obtained temporary injunc-
ton here restraining Howat, presi-
dent of the reorganized United
Mine Workers, and other members
of his national and state district
stats from using the name United
Mine Workers or the name District
Twelve, the Illinois district of the
national organization.
The injunction has the effect OF
placing the Howat group on the de-
fensive. in their present fight tc
swing all locals Of the union into
their organization.
Whether President Lewis, or other
officials of the Indianapolis organ
ization had knowledge of the at
tempt of the individual miners was
not known. Most of them were
from pro-Lewis locals.

They Should Be Fat!
BY MRS. DALE JACKSON,
As Told to the United Press

LAMBERT FIELD, ST. LOUIS,
Mo-, Aug. 13.-Both Mrs. O'Brine
and myself found the task of cook
ing and keeping the boys in good
spirits much easier this year than
we did last summer when they set
the record of 400 hours.
Experience was the reason. We
knew what Dale and Forrest wanted
on this fight. We didn't guess and
I believe it aided greatly.
Much of my activity was confined
to supplying photograph records
and fresh roses. They have to have
their roses every day.
If the boys ate all We sent up,
they surely will be fat when they
land. They really have eaten much
more a day than they did last year.

LaGuardia Charges Attempt
to Boost Costs in New
York City.
RED CROSS IN ACTION
Hyde Declares Shortages
Do Not Exist on Con-
Sumers Part.

BB United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The
present drought situation and re-
sultant crop shortage hold no JUS
tiication of greatly inflated retail
prices on farm products, Secretary
of Agriculture Hyde said today after
comforting with President Hoover
on final preparations for Thurs
days conference here.
His department has received no
reports of attempts at profiteering
and he is confident the crises will
be passed without undue increases
to individual consumers, Hyde said.
He pointed out that while short
ages exist for the most part they
are in foods for cattle and not foods
for human consumption.
La Guardia Visits Hoover
Shortly after Hyde's conference
with the President, Representative
La Guardia CRep., N. " called to
protest to Mr.. Hoover against a
tendency he said had appeared in
New York City to increase the price
Of meat, butter, eggs. vegetables and
milk. At Mr.. Hoover's suggestion, he
went to confer with Hyde about the
situation.
La Guardia said 1-cent increase
in the price of meat, butter and
eggs. was justified, but that prices
had increased from 25 to 30 per cent.
Sonle vegetables, being sold at high
er prices, we're of an inferior quail
ity. he added.
The New York congressman said
he would urge the agriculture de-
partment to make public figures on
production Of meat, butter, eggs,
vegetables and milk, in order that
the consumer might know whether
prices we're justified.
mo Reason for Alarm
There is no reason for the house
wife to become alarmed or panicky,
Secretary Hyde said. While some
truck garden products have been
damaged, there is no real shortage
HYDE indicated his department
Uouid maintain a careful watch on
retail prices which, despite reports
Of increases from the larger centers,
apparently have not reached a level
the department considers unWar-
ranted.
HYDE called attention to the short
corn crop, 2,212,OOO,OOO bushels, and
explained that only 75.0OO'OOO
bushels of corn we're needed as table
food.
Red Cross Is in Action
John Barton Payne, chairman of
the Red Cross, also called upon
President Hoover today and IN
formed the chief executive that the
organization had S5,ooO,oOO available
for drought relief.
He explained that local chapters
have been instructed to proceed
without further authorization from
the national organization, with re-
lief for any local distress, and that
this is being done.
Payne said he expected rellet
would be needed in the fall. II the
organization finds that its S5,oOO'OOO
fund is not sufficient, he SAID ne
would ask President Hoover then 10
issue a proclamation asking LOT
public contributions.
