Sometimes I sorta get to thinkin' that this old world ain't managed right--I find my hopes and spirits sinkin'--my mind gets in an awful plight. Some folks, it seems, have all the money, while others haven't got a sou; the world to some is bright and sunny--to others It seems doggone blue. For instance, there is old Bill Spreckles who runs the corner grocery "Store; he dosen't make enough of shekels to keep the old wolf from the door. He says that folks ain't got the nickels to buy his peaches, prunes and peas, canned salmon, tripe and sour pickles and other kinds of groceries. He says the mines ain't working steady--that hard time's knockin' at our doors; he lists to me those who already have given up their grocery stores. He puts up such a mournful holler when I go in to buy my bread, that tho' I plan to spend a dollar, I spend but fifteen cents instead. But when I talk to young Jim Sables, who deals in cars of many makes--who has a house of seven gables and never wants for pies and cakes, my views on things grow somewhat brighter--the old world don't seem quite so bad--young Jim's a happy sort of blighter--a mighty optimistic lad. From sunup when the cocks are crowing until the twinklin' of the stars, young Jimmie keeps his mouth agoin' in sellin' folks his motor cars. He says that times are gettin' better--that men will soon be diggin' coal--that every hustlin', live go-getter will soon go forth and make a roll. I called on Jim to buy a "Lizzy" (I Occasionally we hear some wise guy assert that the farmers don't need any help, that the trouble with agriculture " that farmers spend all they mnke for expensive machinery and things they could get along without. That what the farmer needs is more mules and less tractors and automobiles. All of which is interesting, if true. But before admitting the above, some questions might be asked. Why isn't the farmer as much entitled to a motor car as any other business man ? He has about as much money invested in his business, works as industriously and needs a car about as much as people engaged in other vocations. When the business firm adds some new and modern machinery or equipment to its plant it is generally a cause for congratulation. When a farmer adds a tractor to his farm equipment, why should he be criticized and told to go back to his mules ? The fact of the matter is that if some of these economists should go out and try to make a living on a farm they would probably starve to death. Twice Told Tales Interesting Bits of News Takes From the Columns of the Plaiadealer Fifty aAd Twenty-five Yean Ago I have solved the parking problem! Quite inadvertently it came to me the other day, while I frantically sought a vacant space not prohibited by law, service station, hotel or speakeasy. The simplicity of it caused me to marvel at my utter idiocy if* not figuring it out before. But now I have it! No more will I burn gbtfens of gasoline in a vain search for the elusive vac'ancy. Never again will I rack and twist my shoulders, strain my neck, and wrench my back in attempting *o wedge into a short parallel space. Henceforth I shall have no work for my chiropractor. No more will I spar for an opening with a decrepit 1918 flivver, suffering thereby a dented fender and the loss of the parking space and, incidentially, of the last vestige of my gentility.

J THE LINKS REFEREE; J ( * interpretation* of tho Rul-- * ' of Goif ; i My 1NNIS BROWN ! tfManaging Editor, The Ameriean * i Oolfrr) - j A player slices his tee shot out of bounds. In getting ready to play another ball he walks over to another part of the tee. His opponent in»ists that the second ball must be teed at the same place that the first was. Is this correct f According to strict interpretations of the rules the contention is correct. Rule 23 states that if a ball lies oat of bounds, the player shall play his next stroke as nearly as possible from the spot from which the first ball was played, adding that if the ball was played from the tee, the second ball may be teed; elsewhere it must be dropped. If the player knows that his*first ball landed out of bounds before he leaves the tee, he can of course tell the exact spot from which it was played, and is supposed to tee at the same place. Is it an established rule in golf that, if one match has a lost ball and signals a following match to play through, the first match must not resume play until the second has cleared out of the way, even'though the lost ball is found before the second match has actually played up to the first f There Is no Actual rule to this effect, but It is an established principle of etiquette of the game to allow a match to go on through, once it has been Invited to do so, and to allow it to get out of the way before playing again. <© by the Ball Syndicate.
