No other club in the bag is put to as much use as the butter. Par shooters use as many strokes on the putting green as they do through the fairway. On a regu- lation par 72 course, par allows 36 butts and 36 other strokes. There fore the beginner who wishes to score well first should practice this short stroke. And he will be able to get this department of play around par more quickly than any other.
 He then can go into the longer shots. but not before he has mas tered putting.
 Before going into the technical ities of the putting stroke. such as grip and stance. I want to em- phasize that mental condition has greater Influence on the putting green than in any other depart ment of play, Worries over your score on a previous hole. a busi- ness deal or other affairs will af- feet your putting more easily than your driving or other shots.
 Keep a clear head on the carpet, putting all thought out of your mind except the one of sending the ball to the bottom of the cup.

in exile In France with the President
Elect. Ross Is a fnancier and has
been offered the post OF finance min
ister- He is now on his way back

a moratorium OF five years duration.
Ross is hated by the Socialists and
not trusted by the army and navy

EDWARD O'NEAL, president of the

ton, ammo iced In Washington that
about $50 members of congress had
formed a bipartisan farm bloc to sup
port demands for agricultural relief In
h short session. Their program. he
said. includes measures for the expan-
sion OF currency, for lowering the
price of the dollar. stopping farm
mortgage foreclosures and giving eco
nomic equality to agriculture and
labor.
Vigorous opposition to the farm or
CARNATIONS relief bill, with its pro-
posal for a tax On the processing of
wheat. cotton, tobacco and hogs, was
voiced before the house agricultural
committee by representatives OF the
packing industry. Under the bin the
receipts from such a tax would be dis
tributed by commodities to farmers
who had cut production. :
Frank A. Hunter. head of the
Hunter Packing company of East st.
Louis, ILL.,, declared such a tax would
cost the packers $500, 100000.
George e. Putnam, economist of
Swift & Co. of Chicago, asserted that
the packing industry could not absorb
such a tax, that the consumers would
not. and 1t, therefore, would have to
be passed buck to the farmer, with
the result that instead of helping agri-
culture the relief PLAN would work
great damage.
