Jim Preston Handicapped.

A N association to supervise all pupllc
~ links activities, to hold and super
wise all tournaments and to pro-
mote public links activities is badly
needed in Washington. Public links
golf. Notwithstanding the gallant et-
forts of Harry Graham and Al Farr
managers at Rock Creek Park and East
Potomac Park. is in the hit-and- miss
category and has no ASSOCIATION super
vision of any kind Some lads who are
on the border line of professionalism
play in So-called amateur golf tourna-
nlents There is no effort made to sep
arate amateurs from professionals, al
though to date no man who could be
classed as a pro has won major tour
ney But the minute a man wins a
tournament who does not fit the anna
teur code the squawks will begin, and
will continue in increasing creScendo
until an association is formed to han
die municipal golf activities
Jim Preston public links committee
man, representing Washington on the
U. S. G. A. Public Links Committee, has
always done a good job in running the
ouaIifiers for the national public links
Championship. But lacking proper au-
thority to determine the status of the
competitors. Jim is sadly handicapped
and furthermore Jim is not as close to
the golfers as are some others.
Baltimore Body Succeeds.
nut if there were public parks golf
X association. equipped with author
ity to handle all tournaments. Jim
could well place the running OF the
events in the hands of the officers of
this body. provided those officers were
responsible men and held their jobs not
too lightly. Baltimore has a flourishing
Public Parks Association, with large
membership which has produced some
good golfers and has secured recognl-
ton from the clubs around the Monu-
mental City. Ernie Caldwell, former
Middle Atlantic champion. is product
of the public couress in Baltimore. and
received, in the days when he badly
needed it, the support of the Public
Parks Golf Association.
Ten years or so ago an attempt was
made 10 form a similar association at
East Potomac Park. The association
was formed and carried on for year
or two. but squabbles within the organ
iZation eventually caused its disruption
and it lasted only short time. There
isn't much doubt that formation of a
real public parks golf association would
meet with the hearty approval of S. G,
Loeffler, concessionr 1ne at East Po-
tomac, West Potomac and Rock Greek
Parks, and with the same approval from
the operator of the course in Anacostia
Park.
Possibly the day is not far distant
when Washington public links golfers
now without any organization to run
their events will get together and form
such a group. From that moment on
public links golf about the Capital will
have takcn a big forward step. The
courses are good, the players as whole
are skillful. and the men who run the
courses are in sympathy All that is
needed is an organization.

UPSET ENDS CHASE AFTER RUM
RUNNER

A chase which led over a consider
able portion of Hartford county
Thursday afternoon came to an
abrupt end when a Negro, accused of
violating the Volstead act, over
turned his machine as he attempted
to negotiate a turn into a private
driveway with a Federal agent close
behind.
George Cole and Karl o. Speiss,
dry agents, first spotted Payne in
suspicious circumstances in Hartford
county the week previous, and had
given chase, but the Negro got
away. Thursday the agents again
encountered Payne ON the Bel Air
Conowingo road south of Conowin-
go, and the chase ran south on the
Conowingo road to Deer Creek Hill.
At that point Payne was checked by
two machines which were attempt
ing to pass and Cole leaped from his
automobile to make the arrest.
Traffic cleared, however, just in
time for Payne to pick up speed, the
agents said, and Speiss took up the
chase, leaving Cole in the road. At
Hickory, the pursuit, switched to a
dirt road, known as the Cooper
town-Rocks road. On this highway,
Speiss said, Payne's car sideswiped a
steam roller. 1t was not until the
Negroes machine turned upside down
as he tried to turn into the entrance
Of the farm of Walter Spencer that
Speiss caught him. Payne was taken
to the Northwestern Police Station,
Baltimore, and held on charges of
violating the Volstead Act by trans
porting liquor. The agents said 3"
tin cans containing about $50 gal
Ions of alleged alcohol were found
in the Negroes machine.

RELOCATION STATE
ROAD SURVEY
State Roads Corps Running
Lines For Relocation From
Rising Sun To Sylmar

The State Roads surveyors, who
for some weeks have been making
preliminary surveys along Route No.
/, with the view of widening this
much travelled highway, eliminating
curves and correcting other traffic
hazards along the route, on Monday
morning began survey which
points to the entire relocation of the
road between Rising Sun and Syl-
mar, on the State line, where 1t con-
lects with the Pennsylvania section
of the highway.
The relocation which is being sur
Keyed starts at point on East Main
,.eet, in this town, between the
.esidence of Mrs. Lillian Robertson
and the Garage of the H. M. Duyck-
inck Co., running in a northeasterly
direction, one hundred and fifty feet
from the right Of way Of the Penn
sylvania railroad company, connect
ing at Sylmar with the Pennsylvania
road and remaining on the west side
of railroad tracks the entire dis
lance.
This relocation would eliminate
two railroad crossings,--one at the
S. M. Ward Co. warehouse. in Rising
Sun, the other at Sylmar,-cut out
The hazardous "Sylmar corner" two
miles east Of town, and shorten the
distance between Rising Sun and
Sylmar by fully one mile.
The rumor is that work is to be-
gin at once on this proposed new
section of roadway, which is to be
forty feet in width, but IN view of
the fact that no rights Of way have
been secured, and a host of other
lhings, this "rumor" does not app
pear to have much Of a foundation
to rest upon.

WHEAT ACREAGE
ADJUSTMENT PLAN
New Government Plan TO Be
Explained To Farmers

The plan of the Government for
making benefit payments to wheat
growers in return for agreeing to
adjust their acreage planted in that
crop will be explained to farmers in
a countrywide campaign, according
to ]. 2. Miller, County Agent. Ar
rangements are being made for a
series of community meetings, which
will be held throughout the county
during the next few weeks.
Mr.. Miller states that this cam
paign is part of movement extend
ing throughout all wheat producing
sections of the United States under
the provisions of the new Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act passed by the
last Congress. Its aim is to adjust
the supply of wheat to the demand
and place the price on parity with
prices of other commodities.
To those who are hearing about
the exceptionally short crop of wheat
in the country his year, Mr.. Miller
says that if an average crop is pro-
duced in 1884 there will be more
wheat than can be used and the
carry over will probably be even
larger than at present. In that
case, he points out, it does not seem
possible for present favorable prices
of wheat to continue unless steps
are taken to reduce this carry-over
and it's depressing effect upon prices
by preventing normal or increased
crop in 1884 and in 1885. Our
present carry over, he says, is, ap-
proximately $50 million bushels and
the normal carry-over is about 100
million bushels.
Farmers who enter into the agree
ment with the Government, Mr.. Mil
Ter states, will receive their first
benefit payment about the middle
of September this year. Two-thirds
of the total payment for 1898 will
be made at that time. The remain
ing one-third will be paid about
June 1, 1884, after proof of COM
pliance with the contract has been
obtained. The exact rate of pay
ment has not yet been announced,
but it will be about 80 cents a BUSH
ell. it is stated. This is in addition
to the amount received Tor the
wheat when marketed, or used
otherwise, in the usual way.

ROUTE NO. FORTY TO BE WID-
ENED

1t is reported that the work Of
widening Route no. 40, known as the
Philadelphia Road, from Golden
Ring to the Delaware State line, will
be started at once. The decision
was based ON the existing traffic con-
iitions on U. S. Route No. 40 and the
fact that the possibility Of building
dual highway in the near future is
very remote. Commission employee
as, who have been securing 500 foot
right of way, have been recalled I'M
