LO.vbON. In the wake of recent
newspaper discussions by Knglish golf
ers on tlio wisdom of players in the
United States abolishing the Btyniie,
the press Is now publishing contributed
letters on the advisability of the ball
layored as "standurd" by -.American
devotees of the game.
Standardization was decided upon at
a meeting here last year of the rules
committee of the Hoyal and Ancient
Club of St. Andrews with delegates
from the United Slates and Western
(Jolt associations. It was voted that,
beglmilng May 1, 1921, a ball used ill a
tournament play miiHt not weigh more
than 1.C2 ounces, nor have a diameter
of less than 1.02 Inches.
The effect of the riling was to re
tain the size of the small, heavy ball
popular In Kngland, but to reduce the
weight slightly. It rendered what is
known in the United States as the "30"
eligible to competition but burred the
31-pennywelghts ball used in Kngland.
English players had used nothing be
tween the 29 and 31-penny weights
balls in their home play.
In a letter to the Times, Oeorgi
Duncan, of Hanger Hill, liritlsh open
champion, records bis sal Infliction with
the lighter ball and predicts better
championship figures as a result.
"I am glad that the ball ls to be
lighter," writes Duncan, "as tho gumc
, will be easier to play for every one,
in' 'that tho 'allalr-roiitb'-t-tho correct
" way to the green will not be so diffi
cult ini with the heavy ball. I will rlBk
' n prophocy and say that tho cliunipion
.Klilp figures of 1921 will he bcttef than
'illoso'of r.120, or of any previous year.
Not because tho hall will go farther
than it did, but for tho reason that the
lighter hall will bo much more easily
controlled."

PEKING. Fourteen marines from
the American legation guard are serv
ing as engineers and assistant engi
neers on the road construction work
which is being done in the famine dis
trict by the American Hed Cross for
the purpose of affording occupation
for destitute Chinese. They are vol
unteers who willingly gave up a com
fortable station In Poking for a tomt
tiorary life of considerable hardship in
n dreary country, and have tuken hold
with true American spirit.
The work entails, on the part of the
American division engineers, days on
end-In the saddle lnoving from one end
of the division to the other . and with
none too comfortable living quartet's
and one of the men writes buck to his
mates that after the day's work he
"goes to bed to keep warm."
The road under construction extends
from Tehchow, Shantung, to Lintsing,
fiS miles southwest on the Grand canal.
It Is divided into three divisions of
about equal lengths and each division
is in charge of an engineer and one or
two assistants. Captain Lawrence
Irniwiy, of the British army,' who was
englneer-in-chief, fell a victim to Influ
enza and Lieut. E. O. Hogert was plac
ed in temporary charge of the "whole
work. Commenting upon the. service
of the marines, Hogert writes:
"If all divisions could continue to be
handled by marines in tho same way
as they have been handled to date, it
would be greatly to the credit of the
American guard." (It appears that
some technical objection lias arisen
with respect to further employment of
'tho marines In tho work lu question.)
Incidentally It is reported that dogs
such as have escaped tho stew-pot
havo become in their famished condi
tion as savage as wolves. This is borne
out by a line in a letter from Llouten
ant Bogert which says:
"Was attacked by dogs at K'u Shui
P'u and had to shoot one." He also
states that their work is hampered by
peoplo removing the stakes which
mark the right-of-way for use as fire
wood. llogert recommends that the present
force of marines he retained on the
construction work, botli because of (he
credit accruing to the legation guard
and because tho Hed Cross has great
need of them, since foreign volunteers
are scarce.
Coal tar, prior to Its use in making
annline dyes, was regarded as a trou
blesome and almost worthless by-product
of gas manufacture.
BERLIN American Lutherans have
just completed a year of relief work In
Poland, designed to help Poles to help
themselves, which is highly gratifying
to Dr. John Alfrei .Morehead, Euro
pean commissioner of the National
Lutheran Council or America, who has
Just- finished an inspection tour of
Poland.
"With $250,000 which we loaned to
Polish formers, and did not give to
them, we have enabled the agricultur
ists in nearly DUO villages, with a total
population of probably 400,000. to erect
temporary homes, restore their farms
and become self-sustaining," said 'Dr.
Moorhead. "I have just visited : the
section to which the loans were made.
The farmers have paid four percent
interest on the small loans, as they
agreed, and in some cases they have
even paid off the principal in a single
year." ,
The villages aided by the American
Lutherans are chiefly In the vicinity
of Lublin and Cholm, where Dr. Moor
head found the population living in
cellurs and shacks In the fall of 1919.
The-country-had been laid waste by
O'eais of fighting. It was a land of
small farmers having tracts of lands
varying from five to '10 acres, but with
little machinery, no stables, no houses,
no animals-und no. seed.
When the farmers asked Dr. .Moor
head for food and clothing he called
together local committees and told
them he would rather tielp the com
munities re-establish themselves on a
permanent baslB than grant temporary,
relief which would only hotter their
situation lor a short tluio. . Loan banks
were established in each of the vil
lages under the- direction of locul com
mittees. An agreement was reached
with tho government Vhereby the Im
poverished small landowners wero to
have timber at a nominal price and
small loans, seldom exceeding (200 to
a family secured on real estate mort
gages, were made for the purchase of
necessary food, implements, cows,
horses and seed.

I have used a Fordson Tractor for two seasons
and have found it very satisfactory. In two days
we spring toothed 104 acres, pulling 4 sections of
spring tooth. I have one of the worst sticky side
hills in the valley and my Fordson handles it in
good shape. , W. F. BIDDLE.
I have used my Fordson for three years for or
chard work and am very well satisfied. It does
wonders in sticky ground. ' My upkeep has been
so small that I have long forgotten about it.

I bought the second Fordson that came to the val
ley and have used it ever since. I have had won
derful service out of my machine. The only ex

I highly recommend this Tractor to any farmer.
