ton III other activities connected with golf, probably led
to the decision. Having proved himself by sweeping the
big golf trophies into his bag, Bobby can rest content
upon his record as it stands. Unless they get up other
major tournaments in addition to those now recognized
as leaders, no one can ever beat his record. It is i'm
probable that any one will equal it in the near future,
If ever.
And so we have a king bidding good-by to the battle
fields where he won his crown. He says farewell without
regret. for even in victory championship tournaments
were a grueling test.
The abdication shows one of the mental assets which
made Jones a champion. It demonstrates his balance.
He knows that golf is only a game and that he will get
more pleasure by playing it as a game. He knows that,
while he has been schooling himself to win champion
ships and deriving little therefrom other than the pleas
ue of winning. other men have been playing golf as
it was meant to be played. They have enjoyed the CON-
partnership of their fellows. the pleasant friendliness
which a golf course e%ngenders. While Jones has been
concentrating on his shots they have been enjoying the
sunshine, the wind, the pleasant picture of a bird fit
ting through the trees, the blueness of the sky. Jones
knows this, and he wants to get in on these things, too.
The American public will remember Jones as more
than the man who made all the records In the book of
golfdom. It will remember him as a pleasant, soft
spoken young man. unfailingly courteous, every inch a
gentleman, who has attracted more attention to his
favorite pastime than any other group OF individuals
whom the game has known.

Reviewing the Recent Debacle
NICK enzie County Farmer

(Mckenzle County Farmer
The election last week produced a number of surprises
for the Republican party. 1t Is perhaps to be expected
in the middle western states due to the price of farm
products and the industrial depression. In a period of
business depression the party In power seem to be blamed
for 1t and American history shows that the dominant
party is always punished. The truth of the matter Is
that government has little. II anything. to do about it.
but the voters seem to always take the opportunity to
vent their indignation on the party in power. The re-
suits in several of the industrial sections of the country
though. are rather surprising.
The election Of Bulow in South Dakota over Senator
McMaster was unexpected. as was also the close race
Schall beat Governor Christensen in the June prinlar-
les by a tremendous majority. but the Democratic cam
didate, Einar Hoidale, showed surprising strength and
may be the first Democratic senator elected in Min
nesota. III Kansas. Senator Allen is apparently beaten,
while Ohio went Democratic by electing Buckley. In
Illinois, J. Hamilton Lewis. famed for his sartorial
elegance and his pink whiskers, beat Ruth Hanna Nc
Cormick by a majority of over half a million. Walsh
won in Montana and ex-senator Gore of Oklahoma
Massachusetts,, West Virginia and Colorado also elected
Democratic senators.
These successes by the Democrats can probably be
blamed uuon the new tariff. though the business de-
preston was IN fuA swing before the tariff bill was
passed last June. It will be interesting to watch the
results nationally of the election. It IS certain that un-
less some relief is experienced by agriculture and in
duStry in the next two years that the Hoover admin
istration faces the most discouraging situation that the
if business makes q comeback nationally in that time
and the agricultural situation shows improvement the
voters will probably forget the present situation ane
while President Hoover cannot expect the majority hi
received two years ago, his chances for reelection still
seem to be q good bet.

Another ROYAL Wedding

From Chicago comes the information that a royal
Wedding is to be performed in America soon and that
the nuptial vows will weld together two principalities
which have heretofore been at odds.
The marriage will be that between Malfalda Capone,
sister OF MI. Alphonse Capone. emperor of Chicago
boozedom, and John Maritote, brother of Frank Dia-
mond, another Chicago g~angster who has been none
too willing to come under the great AIS domination.
News dispatches state that the alliance is expected to
Danish the possibility of future trouble between the
Capone and Diamond factions.
The loves of gangsters-or their sisters and brothers
are not exactly an open book and so we have no means
Of knowing whether young Maritote and Princess Capone
Just naturally fell in love or if the marriage was ar
ranged"
On the face of it, however, it looks suspiciously like
American gangdom had entered the field of old-world
craftsmanship where one method of maintaining the
peace was to arrange marriages so that, whoever won
the next war, the booty still would remain in the family.

A King Abdicates

The world of goltdon-and it is a large and growing
wcrld-was somewhat startled by the announcement Of
Robert Tyre Jones. young Atlanta lawyer. that he would
hereafter play golf only for fun and would take part in
no more major competitions.
The statement was startling because it meant the
abdication of a king whose grip on the so-called royal
and ancient game was unparalleled. As holder Of the
four major championships of the United States and Eng
land. Jones proved his superiority in every golf tourna-
went which he entered last year, and the best golfers
in the world were arrayed against him. 1t was a king
ship won by merit and the world a~pplauded.
At the same time, close followers of the game marveied
at the ability Of the young Georgian to hold himself In
hand under the strain which a major golf tournament
imposes upon a leading competitor. Tournaments are
q test Of mind and balance as well as of physical ability.
This fact, coupled with the fact that Jones is an
amateur and thereby barred by the rules from ~participa

A Word for Investors

One often hears the comment, This is a swell time
to buy stocks during the present business depression.
Prices in many cases are only fractions of what they
were Is months ago. A rebound is not far around the
corner. Obviously, someone is going to make a great
deal of money when it comes.
Nevertheless, investors need to proceed cautiously. The
current investment bulletin of the Alexander Hamilton
Institute remarks %pointedly:
IF the stock of a company which once sold over 100
sells later at 20 it is because the position of the COM
pany has radically changed. If the earning power has
declined IN the meantime from the equivalent Of $40 pei
share to the equivalent of 50 per share. the stock IS nc
cheaper ct $40 than 1t was 600. 1t is true, furthermore
that when extensive changes in earning power have &C.
Cured, the full effect cannot be gagged Immediately ane
thai recovery rarely occurs with great rapidity. For these
reasons it is desirable, as a rule, to avoid the apparent
bargains presented by greatly debated stocks

Today Is the
Anniversary of
LAGERLOF'S BIRTH

LAGERLOF'S BIRTH
On Nov. 20, 1858, Selma Lagerlof,
eminent Swedish writer, was born at
Vermland, Sweden, the daughter OF a
Swedish army officer.
While teaching at a high school
for girls, she wrote her first book,
Costa Berling." Coming at a time
when Sweden was weary of the pes
simistic realism which had been the
vogue, this book was "a refreshing
breath of romance" and brought the
author quick success.
She wrote several books on her
travels through Europe and in 1902
was commissioned by the National
! Teachers association of Sweden to
| write a school textbook of the geo.
graphical peculiarities, and OF the
| flora and fauna of the various pro-
vinces of the country.
In 1909 the author was awarded the
| Nobel prize for literature and five
years later was elected a member
of the Swedish Academy, being the
first woman to have received this
honor. Her books have been trans
lated into many languages.

LEARNING LONGER LIVING

AAVXNU
While the average length of life is
So years, there are many people who
live to be much older. It is estimated
that there are in the United States
and Canada yer 5000 people who are
over 100 years of age. I quote this to
let you know that it is possible that
many of those who are reading this
article may live to reach or pass the
century mark.
One noticeable thing about those
who have reached 80 or 100 years Is
that they are mostly ALI thin people.
Occasionally, it is possible for a stout
person to reach the three score and 10
mark, but it is doubtful if any have
ever reached five score years. An
other noticeable fact is that nearly
all of the men who remain active in
important business at an advanced
age are the thin, wiry type, such as
Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, and
Andrew Mellon. In passing through the
Old Soldiers Home a few years ago
I was interested to notice that all OF
the Oldest soldiers were of the under
weight type.
If you want to live to a ripe old age
you must avoid overeating, learn to
cut down on the concentrated foods,
especially the starches and sugars,
and use more raw and cooked vege-
tables and fruits. It happens that
these are also the best foods for keep
ing the arteries young and flexible.
The saying that a man is as old as
! his arteries is a true one. Keep both
| yourself and your arteries young by
| using the food which furnishes the
| most mineral elements, namely, the
| vegetables and fruits both cooked and
raw
It is not only desirable to live a
longer life, but it is desirable to be
healthy during the days when you
| are on this earth. If you wish to be
hale and hearty after so, you should
begin right now to live right. If you
are overweight when you reach that
age you should Immediately begin to
| reduce your weight. You should not
only reduce your weight, but should
try to improve your heath habits In
general.
Statistics show that married men
live longer than single men and the
reason that bachelors i!e young Is
that they have irregular habits OF eat
ing and sleeping. Take the lesson
and begin to stabilize your habits OF
health. Regulate your habits of eat
ing, sleeping, exercise, recreation and
bathing. II you wish to keep on liv-
ing, keep on learning. Do not be
content with what you know but try
to learn more. In this way you can
enrich your life and make it more
valuable in every way. Henry Ford
has said, Anyone who stops learning
is old. This happens at 20 or at 80.
Work up new interests and avoid such
mental strains Is worry. The one
| health rule which seems to be COM
mon to all centenarians is that they
have learned that it doesn't pay to
worry.

Do It Now
New Salem JOurnaD

New Salem JournaD
Winter. with its ice and snow, may bring JOY to the
hearts of school children, and a little broader smile to
the faces of the coal and clothing men. But SO far
we have failed to hear the single New Salem motortst
welcoming its approach. It is the danger time for them,
q time when they must exercise far greater care than
at any other season. Already papers throughout the
country are chronicling deaths from monoxide poison
ing. AL the warnings that have been printed against
leaving the motor running In q closed garage on a cold
day have not been sufficient to impress some car owners.
As a result we can expect a continuation Of fatalities
from this source. But one thing every motorist does not
know Is that the brakes on a car must be In perfect con-
ditiOn in winter.
Streets and highways are going to be far more dan
gerous during the next four months than they have in
the four just past. And there will be more instances
in which drivers will have to put their whole dependence
in the brakes on their car If they would avoid an &C
cident. Not only is 1t a protection to the one driving
the car: It Is q safeguard for those walking or driving In
the same vicinity.
Failure to start the winter with perfectly adjusted
brakes is nothing short Of criminal negligence. Surely
there isn't a driver in this neighborhood who wants tt
be placed In that class by ~neglecting to look after hi
brakes.
