NORTH
The Bidding

South, the dealer, opened the bidding with one heart, North went to one spade. The players were using the one over one sys-. tenn and this required the bidding to be kept open. South then went to two hearts. showing nothing further in high-card tricks than that shown by the original bid.
 North can see the possibility of a small siam in the hand if the club suit is not opened, so in North player went to four clubs. This was a forcing bid and he did not have to be afraid that partner would leave him in, as the shift jump bid absolutely demands that the bidding be kept open. South went to four hearts and North took the declaration to six spades.
 The Play.
 The four club bid was made in an endeavor to get diamond opening. Supposing that you were holding the East hand and were called upon to make the opening lead. One player had bid hearts and the other player had bid clubs and spades. You would not want to lead the clubs into what might prove the ace queen. Dia- Imonds was the only suit that had not been bid, therefore you would undoubtedly open diamond, which is just exactly what this player did.
 Of course. with the diamond opening, the grand slam is very easy. Declarer wins the first dia- mond with the jack, pulls the spades goes over to the king of diamonds and discards the losing clubs on the ace, king and queen of hearts.
 Without the psychic. East would open the jack of clubs, West would win with the ace and lead a club, and before the de- clarer could get in, his opponents would have run off three club tricks.
 Although the psychic has proven successful in this hand. again let me warn you not to be- come too enthusiastic over this type of bidding.

secretary, Amer1can Fridge League.
 During the national championship in Cleveland we heard a great deal regarding psychic bid ding. The writer sincerely trusts that the beginner at contract will not begin to use this type of bidding as it is more or less apt to wreck his good and sound bidding and lose the confidence of his partner.
 When psychic bids are not prop erly understood, partners think bidding of 8 void suit or single tons are good psychic bids. This, of course, is very poor. There are a few bids which are known as good psychics. The proper psychic bid is one that is made to prevent the opponents from making the proper opening lead. An example of correct psychic bidding is given in the following hand:

to talk to him and arouse his am
bition. Promise that you will take
him somewhere with the other boys
after he RECEIVERS sufficiently. There
are many ways in which you can in
terest him.
The doctor then turned to the little
chap. Come, Billy, wouldn't you like
to go out and slide on the ice with the
other kids?"
A faint smile stole over the boys
face, but that was ALL

Look here, Bill, how would you
like to go out and steal the milk bot

MAKING A DRAINAGE
DITCH WITH POWDER

The construction of drainage ditch
is often a problem to the owner Of
land which cannot readily be drained
through ordinary methods. The proper
use of powder in building such ditch
has been found efficient and in many
cases an economical method.
The manufacturers of powder are
naturally interested in the use of this
material wherever it may be used. A
demonstration of the use of powder
for this purpose will be staged by a
representative of one OF the powder
companies, on the farm of w. L. Vail.
two miles southwest of Bothell, near
the Bothell highway at 10 a. M, satur-
day, May 23rd All those interested in
seeing such a demonstration are
cordially invited to attend.
Several of the county agents have
found this method practical under
some of the conditions encountered in
ditch making and the King County
Agent expects to attend this demon
stration to obtain all of the informa-
ton possible.
The Vail farm is located on the
Pontius road, one-fourth mile from
the Bothell highway, two miles south
west of Bothell.

IT ONE is not inclined to sway, the

But one must actually pivot and not

the arms, the left knee going out
TO accommodate the turn of the hip
and the raising OF the left heel.
The head remains stationary while
the eye is looking at the teed ball
over the left shoulder. After we
pivot TO the point where the club is
over the right shoulder we have
reached the top Of the swing. Then
we begin TO unwind, but not any

The virtues Of collective bargaining,
mass distribution, cannot be over en-
phasised The single farmer, with his
twenty or fifty or hundred acres, is
virtually at the mercy of the buyer
when he does business alone. But
when fifty thousand farmers band to-
gether to do business they talk to the
buyer and distributor in his own
Language.
1t should be understood that cooper
alive selling does not mean higher

cooperation, can 1t obtain the pros

1t is also important to keep sharp

happens to get into the eyes should
be given immediate attention. No
inflammation of the eyes, however
slight, should ever be neglected.
