It Cannot Be Done
Baltimore` Sun: (Bobby Jones pro-
poses that a new type of golf ball
should' be introduced which. cannot be
dlli'ven so far.) There is one excel-
lent reason why neither here nor in
England will his proposal be accept-
ed. Dub golfers are in the great ma-
jority. Where a star can go from tee
to green in two strokes, there are hun-
dreds of players who cannot do it in
less than five or six, or even more.
'And the dub furnishes the dough that
supports a game which eats up money.

done to lessen his drive five yards.
To cut it down twenty-five would bring

evangelist, but there never was one
who hit onso cold a trail.

A SECOND BAIT.
Another letter from Mr. Westcotlt
throws some light on his own char-
acter. Writing from c/o the Empire
Service Bureau, 37 Albemarle street,
W. 1, to the North London woman
who reported to him that a Mr. Law-
son had called upon her with the ob-
ject of persuading her to buy mere-
shares—at
oreshares--at 4s. each—in the company
which was' sure to pay a dividend a
six -months' time, he suggests

I understand Mr. Lawson intended
calling on you again and if you prefer
to deal with me and obtain a reduc-
tion in the price of any shares you
desire to take up I would suggest it
might be best to decline his offer as
possibly otherwise he would claim a
commission on any shares you night
purchase.
I shall leave this to your own dis-
cretion. In any event I would suggest
you clo not disclose to hien that I have
suggested a lower price to you.
Needless to say a company, the
managing director of which conducts
its affairs its such a curious manner
as this has never paid a dividend., and
now Mr. Stanley Hymens is asking
the shareholders for 3d. in respect f
every share they hole. to pay his ex-
penses to Alberta, so that he may in-
arestigate the history of the concern.
Mr. Hymans is a director of the Mer-
rick Trust, which has its office in
Harley street.
Mr. Hymens has denied all connec-
tion with the New Nakamun Com-

met Mr. Westcott once.
"I have been asked,by a few friends
of mine who are shareholders to go

VICTORIA PUTS
£482,000 ASIDE
FOR STORAGES
Continuous Water Supply for
Irrigation Canals Is to Be
,.Provided
Melbourne, Vic.—All the produc-
tivity of northern Vivtoria is due to
the great system of irrigation which
has been carried out in the last 15 or
20 years by the state Government.
Most of this work has been done in
recent years, and the system is being
extended as rapidly as possible in or-
der to bring under cultivation aeras
o fiend which require water to make
them fertile. This vast irrigation
system is supplied from Australia's
great waterway, the River Murray,
which is now sending water through
thousands of miles of irrigation chan-
nels, in Victoria, New South Wales
and South Australia.
Victoria has done more than any
other state in this direction, and it is
now pursuing its endeavors witE in-
creased vigor. The state Parliament
has this year authorized the raising
of £1,400,000 of loan money for irri-
gation and water supply works. (Last
financial year the amount spent in
this way was £1,300,000). Of this
sum £482,000 will be spent upon the
construction of storages to insure a
continuous supply of water for the Ir-
rigation channels.
One of the areas of the state which
has been transformed from waste
land into a wheat growing district by
Meana of irrigation is the Millewa
land of the northwest. This com-
prises about 1,000,000 acres, and with
the advent of a reliable water supply,
about 760,000 acres have been taken
up for wheat growing by 900 settelrs.
The river Murray is about 1600
miles in length, and almost the whole
of its valley, and the land for great
distances on either side, have been
rendered productive as the result of
irrigation. Most of the land Is used
for fruit growing, grapes and citrus
fruits being the principal occupations
o fthe thousands of settlors who have
taken up irrigation blocks along the
river.
In addition to the Murray, other
Victorian rivers have also been used
to a great extent for irrigations and
water supply purposes, though' o na
somewhat smaller scale, the various
systems being designed ultimately to
bring the benefits of irrigation to all
parts of Victoria where it is required,
so that the best results may be obtain-
ed from the land for agriculture.
Nature First For the Child
Make your child travel from nature
to books, not from books to nature,
is the advice to parents given by
Llewellyn Jones, literary editor of the
Chicago Evening Post, in an article
in the November issue of "Child Life
Magazine" on the Child and. Nature.
"These books are to be sympatheti-
cally understood," writes Mr. Jones,
"only by the reader, young or old,
who has already„felt for himself the
charm of river and pond, who has
learned to enjoy direct contact with
nature.”
He emphasizes the value of nature
study for the child. He says, "While
sucha study is in. a sense an amuse-
ment, it is also a spiritual and mental
discipline and will give the child an
orientation toward his world that
many older people lack. It will create
a mental outlook that will expand as
the child grows . older and that will
forever keep him from that terrible
fate—and it is a sin as well as a fate
—of being 'bored.'
"Of course, the child will need a
few other things besides books, A
small field glass or telescope will en-
able
nable him to go bird hunting.. With a
pocket magnifying glass he can study
the habits of insects.
"With the stimulus thus given, the
young child will learn to make his
own direct contacts with nature. At
first he will be interested more in the Good Progress in Three ears
details than in the whole, and this is Calgary, Alberta.—T. A. Duncan is
fit and proper. But as the child grows now regarded as one of the most suc-
cessful he will learn to see nature as a cessful farmers in the DidsburY dis-
euce.as the living garment of exist trict. He came to Alberta three years
