Boys and girls see it as one of the best ways to improve their positions, to earn some money, to see a little of the world, to be "somebody." So they have gone into club work with a will. Note the report of the state champion local club for last year. It is the Lebanon club of White county. It numbers 43 members; 39 are boys. Ages are 10 to 19. Two local people served them as leaders.

Scene in Bonus Camp at Washington Jobless veterans by the thousands me Donus measure was scheduled to corner in the 10,000 manned Bonus Eyes of Sport Turn to West Expecting to See Old Olympics Records Shattered This Year By JACK Olympic track and field records should look quite different after the Olympic Games to open. July 30 in the Olympic Stadium in Los Angeles. California and the break ing of records seem naturally to go together. There are seven world's track and field records in the rec ord books which were made in Cal ifornia. During the Olympic games at Amsterdam in 1928, 15 new track and field records were made or equalled. How many of these will remain after the Los Angeles games.' Let s look at some of the records made during the Amsterdam games. In the 100 meters run, Percy Williams of Canada; R. F. McAllis ter of the U. S. A., and J. E. Lon don of Great Britain, during trial heats were clocked officially at 10.6 seconds. Here it is interesting to recall that Charles W. Paddock, running at Redjands, Cal., In 1921, did the distance in 10.4 seconds. That is a world's record and better than the Olympic record. Eddie Tolan, of the U. S. A., running in Stockholm in 1929, and again in Copenhagen the same year, equalled the 10.4 seconds time. Tolan and Paddock are joint holders of the world's record for the 100 meters' in. With the Runners Helmut Kornig of Germany, at Amsterdam equalled the Olympic record for the 200 meters' run with a time of 21.6 seconds. It should be remembered that an American, Roland A. Locke, holds the world's record for that distance. Running in Lincoln, Neb., in 1926, he covered the distance in 20.6 seconds. A record for the 800 meters' run was made at Amsterdam In 1928. But it was made by a Englishman, D. G. A. Lowe, who did the distance in 1 m., 53 4-5 s. A new record for the 1500 meters' run was also made at Amsterdam. But it was made by a Finn, H. E. Larva, who covered the distance in 3 m., 53 1-5 s. A new time was set up also at Amsterdam in the 10,000 meters' run, but not by an American, in stead by that great athlete, Paavo Nurmi, of Finland. His time was 30 m., 18 4-5 s. It wasn't an American who estab lished in 1928 the new record for the 110 meter hurdles. It was a South African, Weightman-Smith. His time was made during a trial heat and was 14 3-5 s. In Fiold Events. The Olympic record for the run ning broad jump was made by an American in Amsterdam in 1928. The record holder for the event is Edward B. Hamm. He jumped 25 feet, 4 3-4 inches. The Olympic record for the pole vault is also held by an American, Sabin W. Carr, who in Amsterdam cleared the bar at 13 feet, 9 3-8 in. Now 13 feet, 9 3-8 inches 1s high to be sure but in California they have been known to vault higher. The world's record for the pole vault is held by Lee Barnes, of the U. S. A., who in Fresno, Calif., in 1928, cleared the bar at 14 feet, 1 1-2 In. Hollyhock Rust Control Told by County Agent What to do in the case of holly hock rust, is a question that has been asked frequently of C. W. Smith, county agent, who has given out information as follows: Hollyhock rust can best be pre vented by starting with healthy young plants, setting them In a new location and dusting them from time to time in the early spring and early summer with the finest grade of dusting sulphur obtainable. An application of sulphur once each week from the time the growth starts in the spring until blossom ing time will prevent the holly hocks from becoming infected. Hol lyhocks planted in the open or in a sunny location are les3 apt to be come Infected than plants growing among other flowers and in shady places. Overhead sprinkling will keep the foliuge dump, therefore this should not be practiced. All old stocks, leaves and trash around the plants should be cleaned up and burned each fall. Hollyhocks should be watched closely and when the first rust spots which nre found on the under side of the leaves show up, the leaves should be destroyed and never loft In a compost pile, as to do so would cause other plants to become infected. NEW POSTAL HATES. New rates on postage slated to take effect July 8, are announced by W. W. Smead, postmaster, as follows: All first class mail, 3c per ounce; drop letters (no change) lc per oz.; star and rural routes, 1st class, 3c per oz; no change on post- talus, nil until, ui; 11101 v,,, idu CUU1I additional ounce, continued to into Washington a come before Camp. rictare is smafl ADAMS When Dr. C. L. Houser threw the discus at Amsterdam a distance of 155 feet, 2 15-16 Inches, he set up a new Olympic record. But contrast that record made at Palo Alto, Cal., in 1929. In that year Eric C. W. Krenz threw the discus a distance of 163 feet, 8 3-4 inches. The Olympic record for the jav elin throw Is held by a Swede, E. H. Lundquist, who in 1928 set a record for 218 feet, 6 1-8 inches. Track and field athletes have their off days like everyone else. But with a break of luck the Los Angeles games should see many new records established. Fear or Security....? ON THE OPEN ROAD . . .
