Uncle Sam buys for her the best in the market and sells it to her at cost; so she lives cheaply, while the women back home are worrying about high prices. Uncle Sam classifies his employes In such a way that you have but to see the house in which a given family lives to know the salary of its head. Thus everybody lives frankly for what he Is." In her position as "first lady" of the canal zone Mrs. Goethals has been called upon to act as hostess for many famous personages. She enter tained Colonel Roosevelt when he waa president Twice has she received and entertained Mr. Taft once since he became president and she has en tertained all the cabinet officers in her Panama home. There is hardly a sen ator or congressman who has not lunch- or dined with her. Diplomats of all nations have paid their respects, and the greatest engineers of the world have slept beneath her roof In the house at the top of the divide through which Culbera Is cut "I have been away several , months and I can hardly wait for my return home," Mrs. Goethals said. "I want to go over every foot of ground and see every new step taken In the build ing of the canal. I will be glad to get back to my home with Its great screened porches, Rs lovely garden of tropical flowers, and the sound of the engines coming up from the cut "The distinctive features of Panama life come about through the supervi sion that the government has over all things In Panama. Practically every body on the zone works for the govern ment The homes are government built and the supplies are bought at the commissary. "There Is a certain class of house for the $1,200 employe, another for the $1,800 man, still another for the $3,000 man, and so on through the grades. - So there Is no possibility of sailing under false colors in these mat ters, and there Is no possibility of one household being able to out-do anoth er. It is a lesson in enforced frank ness that is probably taught In no other community of this size In the world. "When the canal is completed and we are all sent back home it is prob able that we will more fully realize the troubles that we have been avoid ing having a beneficent vUncle Sam to look after all our household worries. l am sure aiso tnai we win De at a loss as to how to deport ourselves among 'our sisters who have not had this rigorous course of enforced hon. est living." Wagner's Summary Some friction between Russia and Austria is the latest factor. Other wise the newspapers consider general wheat aews unchanged. Another day of firmness Is probable. Corn movement should start Not, 20 to 25. If the country does not get busy by Tuesday I believe corn shorts will get busy. It is high time Chicago jumped to 400 cars daily. The delay in corn movement may be due to some trivial cause. Iowa corn seems to be on the brink of a movement. Provision men look for some kind of a break. I do not believe it will be an extended affair. Wheat visible should increase two Mrs. George W. Goethals. J Washington. That the American woman at Panama is the happiest, most contented creature on earth is the opinion oi Mrs. George W. Goeth als, wife of the boss of the canal zone. She is now visiting in Washington and talks freely of the situation at Panama. She thinks the isthmus, or at least that part of it owned by Uncle Sam, is a splendid place to live and can hardly wait until her return. "The American woman at Panama is the most contented and happy wom an that I know," said Mrs. Goethals. This is because the manner of life at Panama relieves her of petty wor- Week's School Savings.

BIRTH OF COLONEL BOGY. one bushel per acre increase on all improved farm land in the United States would require 12,500 extra trains, of 50 cars each, to transport In the 10 years following 1899, pro duction of cereals in this country In creased only 1.7 per cent, but the mar ket values were higher in 1909 by 79.8 per cent, the increase In price being 47 times the increase in quan tity. An 80-bushel corn crop for one year will make the farmer more net money than a 40-bushel average for four years, the usual method. All lines of Industry, all methods and men have advanced production, and lowered the cost, except the farnv er who is standing still, and the still er he stands the higher the cost of living and the lower his soil fertility. Building up soil fertility will build up yields and pull down the cost of living, giving the farmer more profit on what would cost the consumer less money. We have as good or better land, tools, soil, brains, etc., as Europe, but we are not properly employing any of these factors. We raise the wheat crop of this country -on 60,000,000 acres, with an average of 13.7 bushels to the acre, while our best farmers, and several countries of Europe on thousand-year farm land, average 26 to 40- bushels. As an example, we and Denmark, with a soil originally very poor, the model farm country of the world. They raise 38 bushels of wheat to the acre, andtall their yields per acre are greater than any in the world. With less than one-third the area of Illinois, and more than one fifth of it not tillable, and with 2,600, 000 population, they feed themselves and annually erport $9 per acre for every acre of farm land in Denmark. For a period of 10 years the gross receipts on our farms all together have not been $9 per acre. Our average here In Illinois is only $11, and Iowa, the most uniformly fertile state in the union. $11.40. Denmark buys her wheat and 125,000 tons of fertiliser annually, and has $400,000,000 in her savings tanks, a per capita average of $150. We call Illinois a great dairy state, yet she does not produce enough but ter for her own people. If the state y Origin of the Tern That Has Become a Part of Golf. "Who is Colonel Bogy?" That Is the first question usually asked by the re cruit when he steps on the golf links. Professionals and veterans never tire of explaining that he Is tfce Imaginary opponent with the fixed srtre for each hole, but few can tell how the name originated. It generally is accepted that an Eng llshman was first to set forth the Idea. In December, 1890, the scratch score of the Coventry course was taken, being the score that a good scratch player would take to each bole of the grounds, making no mistakes, but also fluking nothing nor being fortunate with any special flashes of brilliant play. At the time they called this "the ground score," and later several tour- naments were given nnder the system. The name, however, followed soon, and Its origin was a carious one. Dr. Thomas Browne, R. N., want oat to play against a friend. Major Charles A. Weilman, and they agreed Instead of playing directly against each other to play against the ground ftor and decide their match accordingly as sack fared in this way. It so haprened that about the same time the bogy sons; was being sung by the late E. J. Lon nen at the London Gaiety theater, and everybody else was singing it The words of the refrain were: Hush! Hush! Huah! Here comes the bogy man! So hide your head beneath the clothe. He'll catch you If he can. There was the idea la golf. "Hsll catch you If he can!" And it flashed i across the mind of Major Wellmai when he was playing this game and was getting "caught" by the ground score. "Why," said ho to his friend Browne, "this player of yours Is a reg ular 'bogy' man." A considerable piece of golf history was mads in that chance remark, for "bogy" was from that moment established In golf. Some time later "colonel" was added. Ex change. Creating an Impression.
