Great Growth of this Sport Leads to the Expression for Links and Formation of a Club. The rapid manner in which the popularity of golf has increased in the smaller places of hte middle west has led many of the more enthusias tic to urge the creation of golf links in the city and the formation of a club to enjoy the delights of this sport. A number of the nearby places have well kept golf links and there is no reason in the world why Platts mouth should be behind the proces sion in this respect and there are a number of fine locations near the city that could well be used for this purpose. The popularity of the business men's athletic club that has for the past two winters been engaged in weekly meetings at the high school gym, has shown that there is a de sire on the part of the business men and others who have not the oppor tunity of getting their full amount of exercise, for some form of sport that will give them the change need ed and many have suggested that golf links would provide the necessary outlet for the pent up energies of the tired business man. This is offered as a suggestion and those who favor a proposition of this sort should get busy and prepare in the coining winter to start the ball rolling in the bright and festive springtime for a golf club and links.

The ad dress was very much enjoyed and the members of the class were more than pleased with the kindness of Dr. Leo pold in affording them this unusual treat.

On a farm near Chillicothe, Mo., three years ago. says the Kansas City Star, George Kennedy, at the age of 13, was telling the folks: "We have to get bigger imple ments if I'm to do any good lure. I have to let my feet drag on the ground when I'm on our plow and my legs get all tangled up in the forks on the hay rake and the hay stacker is too little. I can't do any thing on these toys. We have to build some real man-size imple ments." George was tall, immensely tall, those days, but the family believed he was at the lanky ae. But George carried on and first thing Mrs. Ken nedy knew his legs were actually too extended to comfortably man or dinary vehicles. George Keeps on Growing The Kennedys moved to town and George enrolled at the Chillicothe business college and kt pt on grow ing.

Aughe is hopeful of signing George for next season. But George is undecided. He could go into busi ness or back to the farm. Perhaps vaudeville. Before he decides he is going to visit Chillicothe. It's been a long summer of cramped sleeping an 1 open mouthed faces since he has seen them. George says he hopes he grows at least a foot. "Every inch higher means more dollars."
