No. $500 yards. The tee shot must be well placed in order to get a chance around a .dogleg at the green with the second. Two fine wood shots may enable the player to beat par 5.
 No. 7-380 yards. If the player carries a gully at the 200-yard mark with his tee shot, which probably will be into the wind, he has chance at a birdie 3.
 No. 8-480 yards. One of the feat ure holes of the course, the green is tightly guarded, and the smart player will play his second shot slightly short, and then try for a birdie with a chip shot.
 No. 9-140 yards. The green an- gles to the right and is well guard- cd upon all sides by sand traps. The length and angle to the hole can be varied by using different tees, of which there are three. Par is 3.
 No. 10-394 yards. If the prevail ing wind is blowing, it will be with the player and the hole is com- paratively easy par 4.
 No. 11-360 yards. A drive and pitch hole onto a green that is well guarded. Straight golf makes tt easy to chalk up par 4 with a chance at a birdie 3.
 No. 12-546 yards. A dogleg with a decided swing to the left for the second shot and a diagonal sand trap immediately in front of the green make it next to impossible to get on in two. However, the player should not have great deal Of trouble in getting an average of par 5.
 No. 13-445 yards. The tee shot must be straight as the fairway IS guarded on both sides up to 250 yards from the tee by sand traps. Par is 4.
 No. 14-238 yards. A fine one shot hole. The green angles slightly to the right and is severely guarded by traps. Par is 3.
 No. 15-389 yards. Traps to the right of the dogleg fairway and di- rectly in front of the green make it good policy to try short cuts to hole Par is4.

RIVALS FIGHT
 IN RYDER CUP .
 PLAY IN OHIO
Battle to Be Staged on Sci oto Course; Links are
 Improved

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 23- When the annual Ryder Club team matches are played on Scioto Coun- try club course here June 26-27, the leading professionals of Eng land and the United States will find a course which is simple, yet a true test of golf.
 Scioto, with additional traps, four new and improved greens, all com pleted since the National open was played a test for the Ryder Cup teams.
 It is unique type of golf course in the fact that it is not heavily burdened with sand traps. Natural rolls of the ground and rather se- were rough tend to keep the player on his mettle to score well.
 The greens, while not over trapped, will call for reasonably ac- curate second shots, nor are they especially troublesome, except in one or two cases, in the way of un- dulation, but they will be found fast enough to require true touch
 Above all, Scioto demands long and well placed tee shots, with ac- curate seconds to the green. The shot requirements of the course:
 No. 1-41O yards. A straight drive of 250 yards leaves com paratively easy approach shot. A par 4 is not difficult.
 No. 2-430 yards. Here the ball must be driven perfectly straight with carry of close to 200 yards or it will be bumped off the hog backed fairway into rather severe rough. It is par 4.
 No. 3-375 yards. An elevated putting green, angling to the right and sloping to the left, demands a tee shot as far to the left as pos sible, or the player will be faced by an extremely difficult approach. It also is par 4.
 No. 4-18O yards. This putting green angles slightly to the left and is well guarded in front and on both sides. requiring a nice No 3 iron shot for g. chance at.par 3.
 No. 5-445 yards. Following the tee shot the second must be played onto an undulating double plateau style of green, as near as possible to the flag to avoid difficult ap- proach putt. Par is 4.

MELTING FURNACE IS EVOLVED FROM
 BURNING MIRROR

STOCKHOLM, June 23.-In the artillery museum of Stockholm there is an ancient burning mirror of large dimensions, formerly used by the Swedish army as means of defense against hostile ships.
 The mirror was placed in the sun so it's reflection set fire to the ves- sells approaching Sweden's shore.
 A scientific adoption of the burn. ing mirror has been made by two Swedish scientists who constructed a powerful melting furnace using an elliptical mirror and a strong electric arc light.
 During a demonstration of the furnace before the Society of Phy- sical Research, the inventors ob- tained heat enough to melt a metal with the melting point of about 2,l00 degrees centigrade.

 When the shadows heightened toward supper-time the boy set out across the pasture for his home bare feet and legs Drowned by the -rolled-up overalls. calico shirt torn and without buttons-a string of fish in his hand-his fishing pole over his shoulder.
 The boy could not have told why, but he was thinking of Harriet when he reached the little retreat at the foot of the hill. Then, sud- denly, he saw her gathering the Yjolets that grew in the tall grass.
 Then, as he watched her, so un- aware that any one was invading her privacy in that little retreat, . feeling he had never known before came over him--an awakening. For what seemed to, him long time he stood there, wondering at this new and strange emotion.
 He had forgotten his purpose to rush upon her with a yell, but ad- yanced slowly and with an elabo- rate effort to appear casual said Hello.
 she smiled, her cheeks flushed and her eyes told him she was glad he had come.

 And there they stood; the girl pretending an absorbing interest ir the violets she held; the boy, foi the first time in his life, painfully aware of dirt-stained hands anc legs and face, and unable to speak a word.
 At last she broke the embarass- ing silence. Been fishin'?"

SYNOPSIS: Like a dream are the years which Tcny Lotour gave tc the stage, but vividiy he remembers his childhood with Harriet NGcl in the vil- lage of Orchard Hill 70 years ago. Even today the derisive tcwnspeople hint shameful mystery in the abrupt end to the young actors career and his return tc his parents home there. Philosophically tolerant, Teny now views life aS a play, with Harriet--her exit made watching her son, Pierre, achieve theatrical fame. Pierre, en- dowed with his mothers tal- cnt, must have also from her inherited his soul; for Tony says that Pierre's father, Roy Donovan, had none to bequeath. Tony, happy that he has helped Pierre attain rcnown, mentally unrolls his old associations with Harriet, whom he had loved devotedly.

a school play or church cantata, but in the eyes of Orchard Hill an actor ranked but little higher than a bartender. while an actress was an unprincipled hussy.
 Old Tony says, T remember how shocked I was when Harriet first confided to me her ambition to be- come an actress. At that age had never questioned Orchard Hills judgment of moral issues. My par- ents. staunch pillars in the church, destined me for the ministry. That Harriet should deliberately propose to walk so far from the established paths of righteousness was se- were blow upon those Orchard Hill Standards"
 The two young people entered Orchard Hill Academy in the same class and during the four years of their Academy life were leaders in all the activities of the Dramatic Club of the school. And while Har-
 
 riet dreamed of career on the stage and read plays innumerable she grew into womanhood with a personality distinctive. and beautl- ful. Considering her unusual freedom of speech and manned together with her gift for acting, and with Or chard Hills settled conviction that professional actors were bad lot, 1t is no wonder that there were pre- dictions that she would come to no good end. For her fathers sake she was not exactly ostracized, but for any boy or girl to be too inti- mate with her was to be placed un- der surveillance by the watchful guardians of the communitys mor- als.

ally, were not blind to their only sons interest in this girl whose name was so frequently on the tongues of the neighborhood gos- sips. In their eyes, even though by any chance Harriet Noel escaped the moral ruin of stage career, she could scarcely be looked upon as the ideal wife for clergyman. I suspect, too, Tony had doubts about a stage career for Harriet. But about his love for Harriet there was no doubt. Nor was there any doubt in his mind as to what her answer would be when the time came for him to ask her to be his wife.

ture to carry crops along for a time,
notwithstanding the recent hot wea-
Their. Corn, barley, oats, flax, pas
lures and soil conditions are good.
Southwest of Bismarck there has
been considerable improvement in the
past two weeks. Crops around Kuhn,
LaMoure, Lisbon, Forman and Kath-
ryn, in fact thru most Of the south
eastern North Dakota. are reported
to be the best in several years, with
some territories reporting a surplus
of rain. In the northern tier of coun-
ties of South Dakota the outlook also
is very encouraging. Forbes, N. d.,
reports a real improvement in the
outlook in the past two weeks.
From nearly all parts of Mime
sofa ONE reports Of improved grain
conditions, with corn particularly
benefited by heat and scattered
rains over most of the state. The
wheat outlook in the Red River VAL
ley and the western part of the state
is favorable. This is the only terri
tory which raises wheat in important
volume. The corn crop is of real i'm
portance and from present indications
it will be knee high by the Fourth
of july the test growth to assure
maturity.
"The wheat outlook around Great
Falls, Montana, has bettered materi-
ally with conditions estimated at IS
percent and a real improvement in
pastures is reported. Billings reports,
some showers, but little real gain in
crop conditions. Winter wheat is vir-
tually a failure around Wolf Point,
but there is still a chance for spring
wheat, due to recent rains, which
have brought temporary relief. The
problem of feed for livestock is a
serious one in this area. Around
Richland there are fair to poor pros
poets, with heavy rains needed to
bring real improvements"

metallurgy department at the Mon
tana School Of Mines, since the an
nouncement, through United Press
and Associated Press dispatches, of
the new-age-hardened copper recently
discovered at the Butte institution.
DR. Wilson said yesterday that this
department intends to continue stud
les of the new hard alloys of copper,
as well as to investigate the t~oughen-
ing Of other metals. Although Hor-
ace f. Silliman, who did much of the
laboratory work in hardening copper,
has returned to the American Brass
company at Waterbury, Conn, the APP
pointment Of Eugene c. Little grad
uste Of the School of Mines with the
class of 1881, to the position of re-
search fellow of metallurgy insures
the further study of the age-harden-
ing processes.
The metal investigated at the
School of Mines, copper with two per
cent nickel silicide, has 70 per cent
the conductivity of pure copper, said
DR.. Wilson, and its resistance may be
lowered in further experiments. An
example of it's strength is that a rod
of it the size Of an ordinary lead pen
Gil will support about two and one
half tons, which is about one and a
quarter times the load that can be
size. The new metal can be cast into
intricate molds, and by simple heat
treatment the casting can be made
hard and strong. However, the hard
ened copper, believes DR.. Wilson, will
not replace structural steel but will
find its own particular uses, such as
trolley wires and engraving plates.
Extracts from some representa-
tives inquiries follows:

Louis-"It might be interesting for
you to know that should it ever be-
possible for us to harden copper our
business would be virtually revolu-

EXCESSIVE Heat
IMPROVES CORN
CROP PROSPECTS

st. Paul-Excessive heat rec
emily has brought about a rapid
improvement in the corn crop
prospects in Minnesota and
southern North Dakota, but
wheat crops in northwestern
North Dakota and extreme east
ern Montana have suffered fur
Their deterioration, the Farmers
Union Weekly crop review says.
Conditions are more spotted than
a week ago, but even in the drouth
stricken territory there are a few
areas where the outlook is poor north
and west of Minot and one crop OBJ
server doubts that seed will be re-
turned. Where the heat has been in
tense, with temperatures ranging
from 100 to 108, wheat is heading
out only six inches high.
"Around Plaza, Stanley, Sanish and
Van Hook, N. D., wheat and other
grains have suffered. Walter Mad
dock, former governor of North Da-
kota writes from Plaza that the
wheat crop is practically beyond re-
covery, even with the best of condi-
tons from now on. Any crops that
have made growth at all are being
used for pastures. Livestock is being
driven and shipped out of this ter
ritory because of lack of feed.
"A report from Williston says that
wheat is turning brown and heading
out so short that it will be difficult
to cut. However, on some of the heav-
Ter ground adequate rains might re-
suit in a half a crop. Fessenden re-
ports wheat as going backward.
recent rains in Montana have
improved the outlook in that state in
GLIDING pastures except in territory
neal to the Dakota border. The recent
relief is only temporary and more
moisture is urgently needed.
General crop conditions from
Beach to Bismarck and north are
only barely fair to poor and the north
west quarter of the state gives pro-
mise Of only meager yields.
Favorable Around Devils Lake
Reports improve materially as re-
views Of conditions from the eastern
part of the district are considered.
The outlook is very favorable around
Devils Lake, Grand Forks, Buxton,

whether or not he gets any income
he must pay for all this, he can't get
away from it.
Several suggestions have been made
that our Taxpayers Association check
up on this work as it is felt that un-
worthy ones are receiving County
aid and to a certain extent this
might be done. 1t is also suggested
that the Red Cross ought to help, but
it seems they are not in a position to
do so except in cases of disasters
and calamities.. We may soon quail
fly for this however, if depression
and other conditions keep up. But we
can help to avert such a situation
somewhat if more consideration is
used in our spending.

TAX TALK
Edgar l. Syverud
Secretary-Treasurer
Sheridan County Taxpayers Assn.


Sheridan County is very charitable,
judging from the figures available.
One is surprised at the extent to
which this County is engaged in
Charity work. With our huge indebt-
edness, our thousands of dollars in
delinquent taxes, and other heavy ex-
penditures it seems there would be
no room for charity work, we can
hardly afford it. There would not be
enough to go around.
Up to June LIST of this fiscal year
there has been expended the tidy sum
of $~l7,785.0O as follows: Poor, 49,
O2O.00; disqualification 1851. 90;
Outside Institutions $1,030.00; Wild
ows Pensions $2,3O4.00; Old Age
Pensions $2,S50.0O. Several of these
funds have been exhausted so that
emergency appropriations have had
to be made from time to time, the
Poor Fund 100000 and Old Age
Fund 100000 at one time and rec
emily an additional 81, 90 for the
Poor and $4,000 for disqualification.
This makes a total appropriation of
$20,235.0O with a possible need of
more.
No one wishes to deny the cry Of
the needy. There are certain respon-
sibilities that we must assume, but
at times there is too much of a tend
ency of putting it "on the county"
While the Judge has the setting of
the Widows Pensions, the Commits
sioners have in charge of other funds.
1t may be of interest to quote a part
of the law:
"(a) The claimant must not have
deprived himself or herself directly
or indirectly, of any property for the
purpose of qualifying for an old age
relief.
"(b) The aged person must have
no child or any other son responsible
legally for the support of the aged
person under the laws of the state of
Montana fully able to support the
applicant.
Although the above law applies to
odd Age relief the principle should
apply fully as much as in many other
cases.
Some seem to have no sense of hon.
or or shame in making demands on
the county. While lestening-in at the
Commissioners meetings one hears
cases that are most pathetic and de-
serving, but on the other hand there
are those that seek to shove on the
County every risk and responsibility.
This ranges from paying for opera
tions down to washing clothes. In a
spirit of ingratitude there are others
the fume and demand what they call
"their rights" To comply with all the
demands and requests the County
/. would have to be what so many seem
to think, one Grand Old Santa Claus.
Too often that is as fas as a great
many think of it.
But back of it all is one that has
very little to say, but to pay. He is
the Taxpayer. He is the one who owns
a home, a farm or other property. He
has a hard struggle to keep the home
agoing for himself. and family, and
