GOLF BAWLS.
The secret of the remarkable fom
in putting being shown by Ed O’Don
nell this spring is out at last. It ha:
been divulged that Ed has been en
gaged in secret indoor practise al
winter, using the living room rug fo
a green and an ash tray for the car
Mr. O’Donnell is confident that th
winter’s practice has greatly improve:
his game, although Judge Dicksor
who pursued a like course of study con
tends that he derived no real benefi
from indoor practise until after he ha
sprinkled a few handsful of gravel o
the rug to make the conditions mor
nearly resemble those on the greens o
the club course.
* * *
Speaking of indoor practise durin
the winter, putting is not the onl
style of play that may be pursue
without expensive apparatus. Joh
Melvin has been practising driving a
winter up at the store, using marsl
mallows for balls. “The marshmai
low is the ideal ball for indoor golf,
says Mr. Melvin. “Before discover
ing the adaptability of the marsh
mallow I experimented to some exten
with a yam ball, which 1 found rathe
unsatisfactory. The marshmallow ha
the advantage in that it stays when
it lights, thus enabling one to deter
mine whether or not he is slicing an<
to what degree. The play does no
spoil the marshmallow as a confec
tion unless one happens to drive int<
a lace curtain, and this difficulty maj
be overcome by taking the curtain:
down before beginning the game.’
Mr. Melvin estimates that it require!
about the same amount of energy t<
drive a marshmallow fifty feet as i
does to drive a regulation ball tw<
hundred yards. Those who noticet
Mr. Melvin's play at the course las'
Sunday declare that he has improvet
his drive wonderfully.

One of the interesting events to U
pulled off at the course in the neai
future is the contest between Strav
Gallagher and Mike Heriskey on one
side and Patsy Harty and Will Biglin
on the other. The match was to have
been played last fall but was called off
on account of the snow. An attempt
was made to play it Wednesday, but
it again had to be postponed at the
last minute, and now will probably be
played Sunday afternoon.
77 Wade caught a fish down in the
old river channel Tuesday afternoon.
Mention of the occurrence i; not made
in this column for the purposp of de
tracting attention from golf, but
merely because it) is too early to start
the fish column.
THE LITERARY DEPARTMENT
The Literary Department met on
Wednesday afternoon, March 22. Mrs.
Lorene Brown was the leader for the
day, and the Drama studied was “The
Cherry Orchard,” by the Russian Dra
matist, Tchegov. Mrs. C. B. Scott
reviewed the play, after which Mrs.
Longstaff led the discussion in a most
able manner. Everyone took part in
the discussion and decided that this
is one of the most interesting plays
we have studied this year. Miss Mary
Wood, of St. Mary’s played a beauti
ful piano solo.
Miss Rutter, advance agent for the
Ridpath-Horner Chatauqua met with
the ladies of the club, and gave a most
interesting talk in the interest of a
Chatauqua for O’Neill the coming
summer, the result of which O’Neill
may have a Chautauqua this year. It
has been the regret of many that
O’Neill has not been able to have a
Chautaqua, but the possibilities for a
Chautauqua the coming summer lool
favorable at present.

THE GREATEST FARMER
IN THE WORLD
One fourth of the wheat we grow is the result
of the researches of the Government. After
years of untiring experiment and investigation,
the Government, through the Department of Agricul
ture, was enabled to introduce into this country the
remarkable Durum wheat through which our produc
tion has been increased fully twenty-five per cent.
This has been only one of many surprising but little
known accomplishments of the Government, which
are covered in the interesting series of stories for
which we have the exclusive right of distribution in
this community.
We’ll send this literature to you each month without
obligation on your part if you will ask for It.

JATHOLIC WOMEN’S
RESEARCH CLUB
The first meeting of the Research
.dub of the O’Neill Council of Catholic
Women vras hold Suhday at 3:30 p. m.,
in the the K. C. hall. About one hun
dred women were present at this ini
tial session, and Ly their earnest at
tention evidenced the willing spirit
and active interest with which they are
taking up the work of this study
Two excellent musical numbers, one
a selection of church music and the
other a selection of patriotic music, in
four part chorus by St. Patrick’s
Choir, were rendered at the opening
and closing of the program,
A splendid explanation of the Na
tional Catholic Welfare Council and
the local Women’s Council was given
by Miss M. Cullen, President of the
local Women’s Council. Then follow
ed the paper on church music by Miss
M. Fitzsimmons. This was an expla
nation of what is proper in church
music and at each successive meeting
there will be a continuation of this
paper.
A very able paper on church vest
ments was read by Mrs. J. A. Brown.
In the active discussion which follow
ed led by Mrs. J. J. Harrington a keen
interest was shown and much in
formation conveyed.
The Civics class ably conducted by
Miss Anna Donohoe and Mrs. P. C.
Donohoe aroused active participation
in the discussion of civics and proved
that womanhood recognized the need
of forming a civics department within
a study club. “The franchise cannot
be conceived as a privilege only, but
has become an obligation. To vote is
not only an obligation, but even in a
larger way, it is necessary to prepare
to vote. The time has pasesd when
mothers, sisters, and wives can keep
the home life clean, sane and happy,
by working only in the home. Civi
lization has become so complex that
dangers beset the path of the family
on every hand. Catholic women must
enter into the larger life of the com
munity and prepare by study clubs to
participate in its affairs intelligently
and effectively.”
The next meeting will be held on
Sunday, April 23rd.
The Sewing Ciic’es of the Altar
Society will meet Thursday afternoon
March 30, as follows:
Northeast and Southwest Circles—
Mrs. Tom Enright.
Northwest and Southwest Circles—
Mrs. T. J. Coyne.

INVENTOR OF ESKIMO PIE
IS MAKING $8,000 A DAY
Christian K. Nelson, 28 years old, a
graduate of Nebraska University and
former principal at Thodford, now has
a daily income of over $8,000 in roy
alties on “Exkimo Pie,” of which ho is
the inventor, according to Omaha
newspapers.
Nelson is a native of Denmark. It
■was while in the ice cream business
with his father at Onawa, Iowa, that
he conceived the idea of “Eskimo Pie.”
He wanted to put his idea over in a
national way and went to Omaha
where he interested Russell Stover,
former manager of the Graham Ice
Cream Company, in his proposition.
Stover engineered obtaining a patent
and went to Chicago, where he or
ganized the Russell Stover Company
to make “Eskimo Pie” famous through
advertising.
“In three months we had spent
$250,000 in newspaper advertising and
we found that it has brought (wonder
ful results,” said Mr. Nelson. He is
now planning a double-page adver
tisement in a national weekly maga ■
zine for which he will pay $14,000 for
one issue.
The company gets 5 cents royalty
on each dozen bars of “Eskimo Pie”
manufactured. That is $16,666.56
day, or half that amount each for
Nelson and Stover. The company does
nothing but sell the license to manu
facture the product.
