3NT Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead, three of diamonds.
South is up for inspection today.
There appears to be some differ
ences of opinion with regard to
the manner in which he conducted
the auction, and a few critical
darts have been thrown his way
because of the technique he en-
ployed in an effort to bring home
the final contract.
North initiated his charges with
an indictment of partners two
club bid, ,contending that he should
have responded with call of one
no-trump. This Immediately put
North out of court. The response
of one no-trump is reserved for
those hands which range in high
card point count from six to nine.
When more than that is held, some
other bid should be chosen. When
North made the minimum rebid of
two spades, South tried once more.
Even without considering the value
of the two tens, he has IL points,
with which count responder should
normally make second try, bear
ing in mind that an opener, who
makes minimum rebid, might
well have as many as Is points.
In the play of the hand South
did not justify the enterprise he
had displayed during the bidding.
The three of diamonds was opened,
East followed with the queen, which,
of course. South gathered in. Hav-
ing seven running tricks, he set
about developing two more which
he felt could be done in spades by
merely conceding trick in that
suit. His plan provided for the
winning of nine tricks, to be sure.
Unfortunately, however, according
to the proposed schedule, the op-
position would in the meantime be
in position to take five tricks.
Declarer needed the two addi-
tional tricks in hurry, and the
only way to procure them was to
find West with the queen of hearts.
Unless West held that card there
was 1iO way W 1IldhC IilC 1ldIlU.
Upon winning the opening lead,
the proper play to trick two is the
Jack of hearts, which should be
passed, unless covered. On this line
of play the defense would take three
diamond tricks and the ace of
hearts.
Perhaps, after all, there is some
thing to be said on behalf of letting
ones bidding tactics conform to his
own special talents as a dummy
player. Overriding for games may
be freely indulged in by those who
have a reasonable expectation of
getting the most out of their cards,
but for the player who is prone to
drop trick here and there, per-
haps 1t Is wiser to hold to the middle
of the road

4-H Club Youths To Help Expand
Milk Production In Mississippi

Thirty-two white and colored
All club youths of the Tupelo,

purchase of $4,000 worth of pure
bred cows to help increase milk

Hattie l.. Gray, District Extension
home agent, in a report last week
to the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
Each of the clubbers, says Mrs.
Gray, has received a loan rang
ing from $3.50 to 1925 to purchase

milk to pay for their cows, help
finance their education, and to

dairying as a sideline enterprise
to supplement their cotton income.

agent, decided several months ago
to try to find a way to help Lee
county increase Mississippi's milk

Lincoln's S Address
At Gettysburg to Be
Topic for Kiwdnidns

Charles A. Jones (above) of Co
lumbus, Ohio, will speak on "Get-
tysburg and Lincoln's Immortal
Message" at the February 26th
meeting of the Kiwanis Club.
Few battles have been more de-
cisive in wars than that fought in
the Pennsylvania hills the first
three days of July, 1863. Few
speeches have received the stature
which has come to President Lin
coins brief words on that battle
field the following November 18th.
Mr.. Jones, who spoke here a year
ago to the Kiwanis Club on "The
Lincoln of Legend and the Lincoln
of Fact" will discuss these two
events.
Mr.. Jones has one of the largest
private Lincoln Libraries in Ohio
and has long been a student of
the presidents life. He was sec
retary to the late u. S. Senator
Frank B. Willis when the latter
was in the senate, and one of
whose acts was to sponsor the
purchase by the government of
the famous Oldroyd Lincoln col
lection now in Ford's Theatre in
Washington. The speaker was sec
retary to former Gov. Cooper, sec
retary of the Columbus Commu-
nifty Fund, and vice president of
American Education Press. He
holds numerous positions of civic
Importance, and is a member of
the Columbus .Kiwanis Club.
