~F COURSE, the Chevy Chase Club

Chevy Chase is in the unique posi-

\ 4 EMBERS Of the Chevy Chase
M Club are going to like their
fairway-sprinkled golf course
next Summer, when they will
be walking on and playing their shots
from green, springy turf while fair
ways at the other golf courses around
Washington become adamant in their
hardness and sparse of grass.
But over and above the physical
pleasure to come from the feel of a
sweetly hit iron shot from a spongy
lie in Midsummer, the Chevy Chase
folks are not taking big rap in the
direction OF the pocketbook for their
fairway watering system.
In round figures the cost of installa-
ton for Washington's first fairway-
watering system is $4,000. Also in
round figures it will cost each golflng
member of the club about SIS to see his
fairways kept green and verdant DUR
ing the months from late May to late
September. And in round figures again
It is estimated that the installation
cost of the system will be amortized
In about five years, and that after that
time the only cost will be for minor
replacements and for the water USED
TO sprinkle the fairways.

Violence Has No Place Here

An assassins bullet snufed out the life of Huey
Long, Louisiana's fiery senator. Again violence of an
un-American nature has reared its ugly head.
Long died at a Baton Rouge hospital early Tues
day morning and with his death tottored the dictator
ship" of Louisiana over which Long has held sway.
His empire was expected to crumble the moment he
died.
Longs friends were loyal. His enemies were bitter.
Threats had repeatedly been made against his life.
Long had a premonition that he would die from an as
sassins bullet.
The proponent of the share he-w ealth" plan was
as fiery a statesman as this country has ever known.
His doctrines may have been folly In the eyes OF many.
He was king to many and was feared.
Regardless of a mans political belief and doc
trines, assassins' bullets have no place In Americas
public affairs. Violence tends to promote unrest, and
violence ended the colorful career OF Huey Long.
Americas political battles must be fought by bal
lot-not bullets. This nation is civilized enough to
know that.

Bespoke OF meat that he could

But with no wood was 'injun blest.
So
In desperation 'injun stood;
Then looking south saw plenty

The First Game

Saturday afternoon eleven Plentywood gridiron
warriors take the field against the Grenora, N. D, team
in the initial of the 1885 schedule. The team has I'M
dergone two weeks of intensive training under their
coaches and from all reports will be in good shape to
meet their rivals from the F1ickertail state.
The first game of the season is always an import
ant one. In the first battle mistakes are corrected, po
sitions changed, the attack is smoothened and the de-
Tense bolstered. Most important, it is invariably in the
first clash with the foe that a competitive spirit so Inn
peratlve in future games is adopted.
We are sure that when the local gridders line up
fer the kickoff they will be in fine physical and mental
condition, ready for a hard game. The rest lies with
the townspeople. Attend this first game. Show them
you're back of them to win. The support you give them
by your attendance Saturday may mean the difference
between a successful or mediocre season.

Farmers Income Important

Evidence continues to accumulate that business in
Sheridan county this fall will be better than for sever
al years past 1t is an obvious illustration of the farm
er's buying power, which removes mechandise from 10
cal stores, and by causing our merchants to recorder,
keeps the wheels of manufacturing plants busy.
OF course, there are sections of the United States
which do not depend upon agriculture, and consequent
ly do not appreciate the significance Of farm income in
appraising the economic state of the nation. In fact, we
have sometimes been amazed at the failure Of social
ed business services to include in their statistical cal
culations some index figure that would tend to show
the buying power of the American farmers.
Progress has been made in restoring farm purchas-
ing power, it is true, but the fact nevertheless remains
that there is room for new forward strides. Let us hope
that the day will soon dawn when every American
farmer can find a market for all Of the products OF his
soil at prices which will give to the farm family a STAN
dard of living comparable to that enjoyed by other
component parts Of society.

OVERCOMING HANDIcAPs

1t has been estimated that one
tenth OF all civilized people have
SOME physical disability serious
enough to cripple them for life In one
way or another. We all know people
VINO r blind, deaf, or are suffering
from incurable heart affections, stom-
ach troubles and other Ills, mental or
physical.
There are many who are cripples,
some with m~isshapen skeletons and
their defects too numerous to men,
ton.
Very few people are perfect men,
tally and physically. Nearly all Of us
struggle against some handicap. 1t Is
very encouraging however, to know
that history abounds in instances Of
people who were greatly afflicted and
yet did work OF incalculable beneht
to mankind. Even Louis Pasteur at
the age Of forty-six was stricken with
paralysis which left one side entirely
useless.
For twenty-seven years after suffer
ing such a great misfortune, he ear
ried on his work, which completely
re~vOlutiOnized medicine and surgery.
He was a paralytic when he discov-
cred the cause, r and prevention
Of hydrophobia- 1t was love Of his
fellow men, his devotion to his ideas,
together with an indomitable will,
that drove him forward in the face OF
such handicaps-
The writer is personally acquaint-
ed with a little boy, who was hOrrfb-
ly crippled with rheumatism, which
came on during infancy. and has
been doing its devastating work ever
since.
He is now fifteen years OF age, un-
dersized, drawn and misshapen.
There Is no vision In one eye, and
the other is crossed. His little hands
are so twisted that he can only use
the tips Of his fingers. He suffers
nearly all the time.
His father is dead and the family
poor IN this worlds goods. This child
contributes to the support of himself
and family by cutting silhouettes. He
can only watch the shadows of the
scissors on the paper that he is fash
ioning. When not too i'll, he cuts
without a pattern the most enchant-
ing silhouette Fairies, disporting
themselves upon flowers, Colonial
youths dancing the minuette, or wild
animals playing in the forest.
The most exquisite creations drop
from his magic scissors, apparently
without effort, save for the WEAKNESS
and pain in his poor little hands. Yet
he goes ON with his work. He Is ne
cessary to the family, and so love
and determination triumph over bod
lily weakness and suffering. Though
he cannot take a step, and has no
vision in n eye, and but little in
the other, he is happy in his useful
work and never complains.
What a lesson this boy should be
to others.

Take the Air for Speed

If it's any satisfaction to you take note Of the
three hundred miles an hour, or five miles per minute
made by Sir Malcolm Campbell In his huge racing auto
mobile in Utah, where the salt fats gave him the
course that was not available on the sands of Florida.
The British sportsman has had a desire to whizz
along at five miles a minute and now the ambition is
satisfied, we ask, 80 what?"
Automobile speeds have already reached the top
limit as far as safety is concerned unless the nation
goes in for the contraction Of special highways for the
development Of superspeed. Fortunately, the develop
ment OF the airplane seems to obviate the necessity
and the average man who wishes to ride at Sir NAL
collins rate will go through the clouds.

Civilization

There are people who object to the government
seeking to help people meet the emergencies of life.
They oppose old age pensions, benefits to needy moth
ers and children, and the like. They like to think about
individual selfreliance and freedom, overlooking the
fact that this Is an age where one person can not con-
troll the destiny ahead.
We call the attention Of these folks to the story
from New Jersey, where a twentyseven year old mo-
ther walked in a police station and announced that she
had just drowned her two year old boy. II couldn't
feed him and l couldn't bear to see him hungry" she
said, so she carried him to a creek let him play around
until he was tired then held him under water until he
was dead.
The mother, whose husband died a half-ayear ago,
had been unable to meet the demands OF life. She will
be condemned, perhaps rightly so, but she didn't want
to kill her son. She held him In her arms after he was
dead. With 1T all, however, the strain OF life was too
great for her frail Independence, she lost her mental
proportions, probably improperly 80, and to avoid the
expected fate Of starvation for her son, she ended his
life.
This happened In a civilized country. 1t wouldn't
have happened il the mother had known that the gov
eminent would provide for worthy mothers II they
couldn't take care of their helpless little children. Gov
eminent aid for children may be socialistic, as some
critics claim, but, as far as we are concerned, we are
for 1t.

3. Jesus strange delay wv. 49,.
They sent for Jesus because he
loved Lazarus. They said, "He
whom thou lowest is sick" Jesus
abode In the same place because he
loved Lazarus and his sisters ". 81.
This mystery is to be explained by
the fact that Jesus was divine and
knew all things.
4. Jesus goes to the Bethany
home wv. I'D. His mission in 60
ing into this home was twofold; to
minister to the sisters and brother
and to strengthen the faith Of the
disciples wv. 11-15).
5. Jesus teaching Martha wv. 1S-
27). AS he was nearing the village,
Martha met him with a complaint
because of his delay. He ignored
her complaint and taught her con-
corning the resurrection and the
life.
a. "Thy brother shall rise again"
". 90. He is saying these words
to every Borrowing sister, brother,
wife, husband, child, and parent.
b. 81 am the resurrection, and the
life" wv. %, 26). He is the source
of life, and all who are Joined to
him by a living faith are in such
vital fellowship as to be unaffected
by bodily change.
6. Jesus weeping with Mary wv.
2S-35). In response to the Masters
call Mary fell at his feet, uttering
the same words used by Martha,
but, no doubt, in a different tone of
voice and attitude. Her words were
responded to with tears. Jesus
wept." He still mingles his tears of
sympathy with those he loves Id
those who love him.
III. Jesus Raising Lazarus wv.
3S44).
His great sympathy now ex-
pressed itself in supernatural pow
er. Sympathy would be valueless
without this connection with divine
power. 1t is sympathy and love
linked with omnipotence that make
his ministry so eloquent.
