Homeof Famous Fableiy George Ade, Is Qolf
Hoosier Humorist Holds
' y Self Up as Living
( Example.
By EDWARD BLACK.
If you vsiOuTd happen to jonrney
to Brook, IudTand thertce to Hazel
len Farm, a few mites beyond, you
might meet George Ade in Jiis beau
tiful rural home, or you might meet
him on the golf links. ' "
Carry a 'golf clib and glance fur
tively at the Hazelden links and you
wiil promote ypur prospects of meet
ing and greeting the famous fabler.
. ifr Ade is intensely interested in
golf these days. His home, a struc
ture of quaint design, is surrounded
by stately trees and is within a few
hundred feet of a nin-hole-golf
coarse. . t .
While vacationing a few weeks
ago in Indiana we selected' Brook
a the, turning p(oint for an automo
bile trip, arriving at Hazelden rbout
11 a. m., afer a ride of five hours.
Familiar Typewriter Clicking. ,
Parking the machine at the edgeH
ct the highway, which goes through
the grounds, and close to thev Ade
home," the writer went to the from
door and was met by a woman who
apt eared to be the housekeeper.
,Th ' familiar pounds of a type
writer clicking could be heard
within. -The wpman disappeared-,
and quicker than" one .could . say
"Babe Ruth'Mhi typewriter noise
ceased and Mr.-Ade appeared at the
door, clact in a Joose-fitting summery
garment of outing material. .
Fearful lest we might havp dis
turbed xthe work of the illustrious
Hoosier, we inquired whether he
was writing a story, or preparing a
speech oNaccepTaijee.'and he 'replied
that he was' only answering letters
.which had accumulated during hA
absence of a few days.

He, walked mit to the automobile
and ''met the ether, members of the
party. The first question he asked at
the ar was whether we had. brought
' V - "
our golf clubs, and, shamefacedly,
we admitted our unpreparedness to
accept- hjs invitation to enjoy the
Hazelden, jinks. N ' .

and Country
Mr.Ade chatted for a few min-
tites at-the car, inviting us to use
the "cabin," which serves as a" club
house for the golf links, and cordi-
' -
T
ally requested us to be "at home'
during our stay.-
He also said he would e at the
cabin during the early afternoon

and .would visit us more at length
then"; but unfortunately for us ijt
was necessary to be on the way at
1 o'clock. - '
i During the biyef visit with Mr.
Ade he referred to a recent meeting
with Col. Will Hayward and Mrs.
Hayward at Palm Beach. and stated
that he knew, thai the, colonel was
a native Nebraskan and referred to
the wealthy woman to whom the
colonel wasmarried last year. He
also made kindly reference to The
Bee." J '
When Mr Ade took his leave, we
explored the" grounds around the
club bouse, finding an inviting
spring ill
house.
a ravine at the rear ot the
Great Human
Stabilizer.
The walls 'of, the club house arc
decorated , with' many relics and
souvem'rS. evidentlv collected bv the
humorist durine his travels. There"
was a framed cartoon by Briggs.
.Mr. Ade's interest in golf is so
strong that he deeded the Hazeldeti
golf links to the Hazelden Golf
club, whose members are residents
of Brook, Ker.tland aW Goodland,
nearby towns.
r He has no quarrel with base ball
fans but he does hold brief for
the royal game" which, is played wiui
resilient spheroids where the grass
is, greem -
Is Living Example. -
He holds himself up as a living
example of what golf will do for a
busy" literary man and farmer. He
is a' bachelor, 5$ yurs young, anid
?. native of K"ntland, which is near
his farm home. '
George" Ade belietes that . this
counlry will be safer for democracy
when golf shall have taken, its right
fuj place as a popular outdoor sport.
He. asserts that every town should
have its golf links.
If you are worrying over the
threatened shortage of gasoline; if
you are troubled by fitful slumbers;
if there is something wrong vfith
yodr respiratory organs, or" if you
just don't function with yourself try
Ade's sure specific.wliich is golf.
What Ade Says. -
Tom Marshall has said that what
this country needs is axgood, 5-cent
cigar; George Ade says the country
needs golf and more golf. He says
it will bruig the roses back to the
cheeks. - I

has found a place for nerself down

age are growing noticeably more

"Thirty to 40 years is the best
age for elevator operators' says
Howard G. Loomi. "It is not so.
