BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 9.-Whether
it was due to Bobby Jones
retirement from competition or
merely the fact that fewer fans
could afford the price OF admission,
receipts for the country's three ma
jor golf meets suffered slump in
1881.
Figures released by the United
States Golf Association today reveal
there was a fall-off of more than 60
per cent from the previous year,
when Jones packed EN- in during
his spectacular rush to the world
championship.
Maybe it wasn't entirely Bobby's
fault, as receipts for the women's
national dropped in proportion to
those for the mems events.
Here are the figures on gate re-
ceipts.

The aged man was found in a pool
of blood at the foot of the cellar steps
in his home at Livona shortly after
midnight February l8 by members
of the family. He apparently had
been struck from behind with a sharp
instrument, probably an axe, which
left a cash above the right ear.
Members of the family advanced
the theory that the person who at
tackled him also sought to drug the
other members of the household. An
odor in the house at the time Of the
attack caused the members of the
household to become i'll. A blood
stained ak was found in the yard the
next morning.
Following his injury and partial re-
covery, Corbin contracted smallpox
which was followed few days later
with a stroke OF apoplexy. He was
blind and speeches. for time.
Emmons county authorities launch
ed an investigation but have uncov-
cred no clues to indicate the identity
OF the assailant. They said the In

Commander Stevens dwelt on matters
of import to the Legion and the U. S
He paid glowing tribute to the Gold
Star mothers in words long to be re-
membered. He also pledged the un-
divided services of the American Legion
towards clearing up the unemployed
situation and promised every help to
the president
In this part of his address he said
There is war which started about 18
months ago and the Legion is going to
help put an end to it. It is the war
against depression, this unemployment
situation, when every man in America
has right to have job in order to
make a living for that wife and those
children who are dependent upon him.
This Legion has mustered its strength;
we have girded up our loins, and I
recently had the honor to place at the
disposal of the president of the United
States the unified and concentrated
man-pawer and mental power of a
million strong, ready ex-soldiers, sailors
and marines.
"And, my friends, we have definite
program. We believe that in the 10000
posts throughout the United States that
we can render service by setting up an
agency, if none exists. If such an
agency does not exist the Legion will
cooperate with it for the registration
and placement of the unemployed
people. We are asking folks to talk in
order that they may bring on building
construction, for which, in many in
stances the contracts have been let for
one or two years-gevernment, state
and municipal buildings, and to employ
in that work the men in the towns
and counties and states In which the
construction is to be done. We are
asking the employers and employees to
study the advisability of five-day
week and six-hour day, and staggered
employment wherever necessary.
"This is way that everyone can
exert every bit of energy and strength
and sound thought in his entire make
up. It is national problem, caused
by no one man or set of men, but the
condition exists and the Legion is happy
to respond to the call of our country
in this, the greatest emergency since
the war. The Legion will again act
and become soldiers in time of peace
soldiers of that same fine metal that
served in time of war;"

Fifty Rotarians, Rotaryannes and
invited guests partook of an excellent
chicken dinner prepared by the Pres

all plates returned empty to the kit
chen although at their advent were
heaped with good things to eat.
Walter Englund acted as chairman of
the committee and introduced the sew
eral numbers on the program with ap-
propriate remarks. The first number
was a tap dance performed by Joan
Thompson the ten-year-old daughter
of Rotarian and Rotaryanne DR.. and
Mrs. j. E. Thompson for which Mrs. H,
N. Sutherland played the accompani-
ment. Joan is pupil of Miss Amy
Tregillis of the Ely schools and her
act was given with excellent rythm and
was roundly applauded
Mrs. Luther M. Bang read several
human interest stories from the pen of
Edna st. Vincent Millay. Mrs. Bang
is the possessor of fine voice and has
perfect ennunciation. Her difficult
readings were artistically given and
were received with the greatest salts
faction.
Mrs. E. C. Jones sang two numbers
in her accustomed pleasing manner.
She sang "Nocturne" by Curran and for
an encore gave "The Singer" by Max
well. She was accompanied at the
piano by Mrs. Sutherland
DR.. George T. Ayres closed the pro-
gram with talk on his foreign trip
using his four-day stay in Russia as
the topic. His talk was an instructive
narrative of places visited and on
Russian national customs, punctured
with anecdotes and splashes of humor
that kept the listeners interested from
the start to finish. Many requests
were received by DR.. Ayres for a con-
tinuance of the travelogues of the trip
in which twelve countries were visited.

JUST SOME OLD MAN
Who is dead?

Who is dead?
Did you ask that question when you
heard the tolling of the church bell?
And if you did, did you receive the answer:
"Oh, it's some old man.
Yes, just some old man.
Even his name is no longer remembered
His face may or may not have been familiar
upon the streets of the town he inhabited.
He was just an old man!
All! the irony of fate!
1t is not long since the old man you bury today
was young, ambitious and just as handsome as
you are
He, too, then replying: 90 some old man."
The same old query and the same old answer
Generation after generation, it is "just some
old man."
Some day you too will be "some old man."
Just some old man.
lit does not seem possible, does it?
1t certainly can't be that you, the handsome,
we'll dressed, perfectly groomed, smart, clever,
cunning cock-of- the-walk will be 'just some old
man."
WE'LL we'll admit that it does not seem prob
able and that Providence should make an exception
in your case.
But the exception won't be made.
Nature is as exact as the multiplication tables.
And Providence has pretty much gone out of
the exception business. So you had better make
up your mind that some day you will be just some
old man.
"Oh, but it's so disagreeable!"
Yes, we know but we can't change it.
So when you hear the church bells tolling and
you ask: "Who is it?" and the answer comes back
"some old man" just say to yourself: There's my
funeral if live few more years.
Yes, there it goes.
See how they hurry!
They want to get the old man stored away as
quickly possible that they may go back to their
business and their pleasure.
The casket is lowered. The minister says
dust to dust"
It's all over and the crowd scrambles home
again
Whom were they burying today?" you ask,
as you see the empty hearse returning
20 some old man."
When you hear that just say to yourself
Some day I'll be that "Some old man."
Yes in spite or all the fuss and all the feathers
you will be just some old man.-Gunnar Bjornson
