H THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK BUILDING PLANTATION HOMES famous iar riAivDeni -jU -UL k-v?U 1 V 'ii li to Three New Country Places Crop Out During the Summer Northern JVIen Make Permanent Homes and Tranafer Tlieir Iloune hold CJodn to the Old Worth State When old Sheriff Green, the Duke of Marlborough County, decided to dispose of his ridge beyond the railroad west of the Carolina hotel, he had about as much idea that -within three years it would be an adjunct of Pinehurst as that it would be a Hottentot village or the scene of the battle of Marathon. As a matter of fact, the advent of Harry G. Waring, E. H. Ehrehart and the Dana brothers in the region of Ambassador Page's new dominion is the beginning of what in greater matters would be called an epoch. It has been the chagrin and astonishment of us all that while so much pleasant company lived here during the Winter, that the coming of Spring and the luxuri ant foliage found the expanding glory of the village so largely deserted. These are not Winter homes. They are homes estates, Lares and Penates. The seats of the household Gods, of the War ing and Dana and Page families. It is not possible to offer any heartier welcome than we extend to these new comers. There is always an element of self con gratulation and well merited satisfaction felt by anyone in being selected as neigh bors by able and kindly people. Mr. Ehrehart is an engineer and a real estate and tax expert of distinction in New York and New Jersey. He is a large owner of peach orchards in Georgia, and he has deliberately selected this neighborhood as the best he can find to plant 400 acres in fruit. This has a ten dency to encourage us in some of our financial dreams, as well as satisfy our egotism. Mrs. Waring his finished her house. Ever since we saw the design and the owner we have been developing intentions, leaning towards tea parties and leaving our umbrella, to be recovered later, and of continuous visits to render advice, or receive it, or for any other reason. Paul Dana and Trumball Dana are recent graduates of Williams College. They are opening 320 acres of land, and are going to raise peaches and pigs. Happy men. It sounds like Open Sesame. What a multitude of life's problems might be solved if in answer to all ques tions one might just smile and say, "peaches and pigs." llr. William Hill Sajs that the best asset of any country is beauty. He severely criticized the unpainted shanties that adorn our way sides. Will we paint them? Chorus. We will. A Good Example If any fellow wants concrete proof of the tide of prosperity let him go see the sidewalks of Southern Pines. They will render walking a favorite Winter sport. Jim MxConnell of Carthage Men tioned for Itraverj Last year Jim McConnell was the leader of the cheerful spirits in this region. Almost everything the world knows about the modern city of Carthage was told by Jim. He was a familiar figure wherever there was fun afoot, always itching to get up some diversion, or plan some expe dition, or put some place on the map. So it was no surprise to us when one day he boiled over, reading of the cap tains and the great adventure, and came rolling into Pinehurst on a frosty even ing to spin a yarn of crousaders and to drink a toast and say good-bye. He was off to the front, disguised as an ambu lance driver. He had offered to serve in the English Army in any capacity from German interpreter to Russian spy, but had been turned down because of his nationality. From time to time after that we had been receiving spirited and dramatic let ters from somewhere in France, and were inclined to be elated that we of the som bre and phlegmatic type were represented in the melee. Then Carthage received its first record in the annals of war since Revolutionary days, when the Tories under McDonald assembled there to march forth on Moore's Creek to destruction. The very first American to be mentioned in the French orders of the day for conspicuous bravery under fire was Mr. James McCon nel of North Carolina. The dispatch goes on to say that he went forth and brought in wounded soldiers from a neigh borhood infested with exploding bomb shells. Probably singing tenor to the Barcarole all the while. We had hardly become used to this when out comes the Outlook (not the Pinehurst, but Mr. Lyman Abbot's Out look) with an article all about life on the firing line and the American boys Handy Ambulance Corps signed by our same Jim with an introduction by no less an author ity than Theodore The Great himself. He is with the American ambulance division under A. Pratt Andrews, recently of the Treasury Department, pretty well recognized now to be one of the most daring and efficient of all the red cross service. Dallas D. L. McGrew, who is well known in the Sandhills, recently the owner of a large farm near the Drown ing Creek plantation, was in the same division .

It represented a winter 's store of wholesome food independent of that ever lasting man, the storekeeper, found for them out of nothing by their children. And it represented also perhaps the first honest, kindly, truly atruistic friendly help they had ever received. And more wonderful still, it came from Uncle Sam in the guise of an amiable lady.

About Alphano for Grass and Golf Greens TT IS a generally conceded fact that Mr. Donald J. Ross is the leading authority in this country on the construction and care of golf courses. The grass problem is a seri ous one. Here is what Mr. Ross says about the use of Alphano: ' ' The very finest of results can be accom plished for putting greens having heavy clay soils, by mixing the soil with sand, charcoal, lime and a good top dressing of Alphano. I know of no soil builder that ap proaches it even the best rotted manure does not compare with it. ' 1 Grasses so treated continue fer tile for a long time to come. A good top dressing of Alphano each I j year and the usual watering and other customary care, will keep the greens in a beautiful condition, closely approaching the wonderful golfing turf of England and Scotland. For soils of a sandy nature, it is just as valuable. And I must not for get to mention that its freedom from weed seeds is a particularly valuable feature. Its powdered form and absence from lumps, makes thoroughly incorpor ating it in the soil an easy matter a thing that surely cannot be said of barnyard manures." Send for a booklet of Convince ment. It tells fully, just what Alphano is. umus c Established 10 years 17-IM Battery Place, New York it . 3L "A-.- t AV MfcV fAW&W jte?jS& &Se&&? !S AWAWSv TOWjiSEJW'S TRlPhEX (PATENT PFNDING) The Greatest Grass-cutter on Earth Cuts a Swath 36 Inches Wide Drawn by one horse and operated by one man, the TRIPLEX will mow more lawn in a day than the best motor mower ever made, and cut it better at a fraction of the cost.
