GOLF BALLS MET AND SANK IN CUP Melbourne, Australia, Aug. 27.--A unique incident in golf took place re- cently on the Wentworth Falls golf course on the mountain links, Doctor Alcorn and E. A. Avory, of the Leura Club, were playing with the professional E, Barnes. The tee shots of Mr. Avory and Barnes at the ninth hole finished in opposite sides of the green. Unknown to each other both players hit their sec ond (chip shots) at the same time. They met in the air and then dropped into the hole, The only other known instance of two balls being played at the same hele and meeting in mid-air occurred at St, Andrew's, Scotland, in May, 1926, when Colonel Howard and Lieut,Colonel Buchanan Dunlop play- ed to the 16th green, The balls, go- ing towards the same hole, met twen~ ty yards from the pin, The Austra- lian case is unparalleled. seven 10.40 o'clock Saturday night.

No ome with a reputation at stake in the industry is willing to be Suoted for publica. tion on the size of the k many factors entering into a ecaleu- 'lation make this understandable.

The Prairie growers are confronted with the problem of marketing an unusually large crop and of competing with this addition- al world surplus. Of course, comparisons from year to year are not adequate, Next year there may be a slump in production in some countries and a carry over may be desirable, But interested officials admit that heavy yearly in- creases in production would bring a very serious problem for the Cana- dian producers, On the one hand when prices are low there is a greater consumption demand in some countries; when prices are high substitutes are used. On the other hand there is a price below which the farmer cannot sell and have sufficient margin for sustenance. recent slump in prices caused thought to be given to the question of whether haste should not be made more slowly. Maryesters Outpaced Harvest There is no disposition, however, to slow up the harvesting of the crop. If anything, there has been too much haste on the part of many harvest hands. This 1s especially irue of men from Ontario who came out ahead of time and picked their own localities. Instead of seeking advice from the Provincial represen- tatives on hand near the railway ticiket offices, they continued their journeys to points which seemed to appeal to them. "As a result, it is reported, there have been 3,000 idle men in Saskatoon this week.

J. B, Caron. Min- ister of Agriculture in the Prov ince of Quebee, declared that dem- onstration farms were a benefit for the regions in which they were lo- cated, and rendered great services to agriculture, in addition ta com- tributing towards an improvement in rural life, which is the reason the Government has done its it- most to establish them in different parts of the province. The minister also dwelt on the utility of experimental farms, stat- ing that they had been created for study, and were used for experi- mentation as indicated by their titles. : Hon. Mr. Caron cited the fact that at the farm on which he was speaking, belonging to Noe Proven- cher, the cattle were yielding 10,- 000 punds of milk, an against the provincial average of 4,000 pounds, as an example of what demonstra- tion farms were doing for the province, PLEA FOR SUPPORT OF ADEQUATE NAVY Admiral Fuller Declares It is Purely a Business Matter Vancouver, Aug, 26.--Declaring that it is a matter of business and not one of sentiment, Vice-Admiral Sir Cyril Fuller, commander-in- chief of the North American and West Indies Squadron, made an elo- uuent plea for support of an "ade- uate Imperial navy" in an address before the Vancouver Canadian Club yesterday, "I do not wish to {introduce politics at this gathering," he said, "but I do wish to ask the huge inland provinces what happens to their produce, It is more and more going through the western ports, "What would happen if com- mand of the sea were ever lost? So long as commerce is carried by sea the only safeguard is an ade- quate Imperial navy, It is a bust- ness matter just as is insurance against fire--or a village police- man." The speaker declared that the Esquimalt naval station was re- markably efficient despite its many handicaps. "In the Esquimalt naval base, Canada has the kernel for possible future expansion," he said, He also praised the efforts of the Royal Canadian Naval Volun- teer Reserve and the Navy League of Canada, remarking that many of the men in the former, were Prairie residents, SEVEN STOWAWAYS KILLED BY FUMES Ship at Baltimore City Was Thought Cleaf--Nine Others Rescued Baltimore, Md, Aug. 26. -- Seven men, all of whom are believed Por- tugese stowaways on the steamship Steel Inventor, were killed by fumes of a fumigating chemical in the hold of the ship anchored off quarantine early Friday. Nine others were rescued by the crew and city firemen in gas masks. When the ship arrived from Brazil Friday morning, several stowaways were discovered in the hold.

When in conference, as they were recently at the tomb of Dr. Sun Yat- Sen mear Peking and are now sup- posed to be in Nanking, they form the greatest concentration of power in the country. The sword is still a great deal mightier in Ching than the pen or any other symbol of civil- ian_authority. Chiang Kai-Shek is recognized as the commander-in-chief but his con- trol over his fellow group command- ers is much less than that of Foch over his allies in France in 1918. This quartette presents a striking diversity of character and appear- ance. Chiang Kai-Shek is of middle height, slender, handsome, rigid and formal in his carriage, dressed in a well-tailored uniform of olive drab, a sam browne belt setting off his trim figure. There is pride in his bearing and self consciousness, even a little of the theatrical, for Chiang seems never to forget that he is playing a leading role in a big drama, His face easily betrays his emotions. He has more sentiment and imagination than most of his fellows, too much, per- haps, ever to become the strong man in China. Better cast for that role is Feng J Yu-Hsiang, the one-time Christign general He appeared for the Sum Yat-Sen memorial clad in a dirty blue cotton uniform, wrinkled and sag- ging, with muddy wrap puttecs, Chi- nese cloth shoes, the ensemble topped a straw hat covered against the threatening weadher with the oiled cloth cover that is a part of the uni- form of the second group. For all his uncouth exterior, Feng was the dom- ipating figure of the group. Feng is six feet tall and weighs 220 pounds. Mis heavy features, even in rare mo- ments of smiling, tell of intensity and seriousness. His proved capacity for manual or mental work, his powers of concentration and sustained effort et him. apart among Chinese leaders. Mild, seli-effacing, apparently tim- 'thing but the tpyical warlord. He is under middle height, rather dumpy and stooped, usually dressed in a oose baggy type of uniform new nown in China as the Sun Yat-Sen Jniform, with long tunic reaching Imost to the knee and full slack rousers. His manner in the presence f his fellow generals is retiring, de- reciating. Here is a man patently without sinister ambitions, one in whom confidence naturally is reposed, {The fourth member is a newcomer to this lofty plane, Li Tsung-Jen, na- tive of Kwangsi and leader of the powerful military clique that bears the name of that province, home of fighting men. Small, slight, alert, he views the world with something like amused detachment and confidence in his' own destiny. He disputes with Chiang Kai-Shek the sartonrial lead- id, Yen Hsi-Shan of Shansi is any- | ership of the quartette. A youthful swaggering aspect belies his experi- ence and known capacity for leader- ship. "How dare you, sir, come home in such a state?"
