GOLF GAB
By Skinny Garrison
I have played golf ir. Louis-
iana, Arkansas, Texas, Minne-
sota and have even-played in
Canada. I have played with
good golfers, I have played
with sorry golfers, -but in all
this round I have never played
with a guy that could stand as
much rain as Wilfred White-
side.
The local course is rounding
out in perfect shape. I would
like to congratulate Bill Mills
with his great success, and
tireless. .worU-in-getting—iihe
greens and fairways in such
good shape in so short a while.

John Cook. Bill Mills, and
Dr. Smith must have had a
grudge match on in a big way
this past week-end. I was play-
ing with Dr. Whiteside and
both of us were too stubborn
to give up regardless of the
rain, and when the storm rais-
ed a bit. who conld I see over
yonder rough but John Cooke
and his trusty niblick. He
must have been there for some
time because he had a hole
dug waist deep when we dis-
covered him. and Dr. Smith
and Bill had a look of satisfac-
tion too. More power to you
John.

Dewey McClung is the man
to watch around the links.
Last week I locked out with a
31 and it stayed ahead about
12 hours. This Dewey comes
out to send a solid 30. Dewey
that is hitting them my friend.

Since our fellow golfers are
getting rounded out in shape
now, we should start consider-
ing a tournament. This could
be done easily. We could di-
vide the golfers in two sides.
Take the best on each side and
pair them, the next two pair-
ed and etc. This would be
lots of fun folks so why not
start talking it up.

so why not study the rules on
golf etiquette. When we play
on other courses lets have a
good taste in their mouth. We
could do things on other
courses that would be noticed
whereas nothing would be
thought or said at home. Read
up on the rules and lets do this
thing right. It would be mighty
nice for golfers in other towns
to say that we are going at
golf the right way, and notice
that we have gone into the
game with a determination to
make everyone else enjoy the
game as well ourselves.

3. Russia refuses to negoti-

According t., trustworthy
sources, the Russian note said
that the Soviet union as a neu-
tral is insistent upon the right
to conduct commerce with
belligerents as well aa neutrals
and that direct German-Soviet
trade is a "domestic affari”

TOMATO CROP IT ALTO
iw sownioeRESs
1,600 Acres Being
Planted as Compar-
ed With 1,000 Last
Year.
Alto, April 29.—The toma-
to acreage around Alto has
been increased at least one
third, based upon the state-
ment of several reliable toma-
to growers of this section. The
average is 1,000 acres, but at
least 1,600 acres have been
planted in tomatoes this year.
Fanners who have not raised
tomatoes in 12 years are again
going into the deal.
Plants have been transfer-
red from cold frames to the
field in large numbers during
the past two weeks, and the
rain that has fallen is very
beneficial to plants that are
already out.
Many farmers are reporting
considerable trouble from cut
worms aod several formulas
are being used to eradicate
this enemy of the tomatoes.
However, unless unforeseen
damage comes, a 350-car crop
from Alto is expected.

“MONEY SENSE”
People who have the ability
io look ahead and plan for the
future, are the ones reason-
ably sure to win security and
success. Some say they have
“money sense.”
Anyhow it is a valuable hu-
man quality, worthy the at-
tention of every one. One of
the first steps is to open an ac-
count at a good Bank like ours.
Then add to this account regu-
larly, rather than spend it.
We will help you in every way
we can but it is up to you to
make the start.
