THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK r mi., o.. 11. RWinnnk Manchester. "Vt. Grass Seed Supplied by Stumpp d Walter Co. for Six Successive Seasons Grass Seed of Known Quality TESTED FOR PURITY AND GERMINATION For the Best Results, whether it be for the Golf Course, Tennis Courts, or Tour Lawn, the purchase of seed of the very highest quality, selecting the right varieties in proper proportion to sluit soil and climatic conditions, is most important. Remember All our seed is of the highest quality, purchased direct from the source of supply, and carefully examined as to purity and growth by the leading seed testing stations. "We are always glad to suggest formulas suited to soil and climate, and tell you the exact percentage of each of the varieties in the formula, or we furnish seed by named varieties. The benefit of a grass seed expert one who has made a life study of this subject is at your disposal 3032 Barclay St. tHJlDD tguMUW y New York - oar uf. America and Joan Arc She is leading France and Eng land into battle; will her spirit hover over Americans? "Every man has two coun tries," said Benjamin Franklin, l "his own and France." Above the din of battle, through the haze of death, the voice and form of Joan of Arc are seen and heard today, urging the brave soldiers to victory. Hers is a household word in - France and England. How soon will her name be on every Amer ican tongue? SEE THE GREATEST MOTION PICTURE OF THE MOMENT THE STORY .OF. THE . IMMORTAL MAID OF ORLEANS Jesse L. Lasky presents GERALDINE FARRAR in "Joan the Aomein" Produced by Cecil B; De Mille CAROLINA THEATRE Friday, March 23 8.00 p. m. : The Annual Banquet To describe a club so perfect and so fine, It's a daisy on the green, sure the finest ever seen, ? At. a T'm nrnnrl to call that rnitter mine. I have a story, a bonny, bonny story, All about the game of Golf I play each year, So I just elaborate it, careful not to overstate it, 'Till it makes a story very good to hear. When I tell my Golfing brother, Sure he up and tells another, ' And his yarn's a wee bit better, one than mine, But around the nineteenth hole, As we sip our modest bowl, Ain't these Golfing stories mighty fine? Walter L. Milliken presided over the festivities, adorned, like all the tribe in the plaid colors of a Hieland bonnet. Bye and bye, more in sorrow than in anger, he arose to introduce the toastmas ter, remarking that this was the sole function of the executive. Like Mulvaney, who clung to the conviction that he "was a cor poral wanse," Milliken reminded the clan that he was a captain once, and only recently reduced to the grade of president. This was by the machinations of Becker, who when time came for presidential election went into private session with a list of members and immerged with the goat. This is known as the merit system, anl in the present instance was the result of a hue and cry about the high cost of handicaps, bljamed on Milliken. So he was reduced to the sole and bitter task of introducing the perrenial toastmaster, T. B. Boyd. The song of the moment "That Tufts Ain't Just Such That He Ain't Got no Style," applied in turn to the leaders of the host who in most adept and appro priate manner, with gesture and gait demonstrated the obvious truth of the sentiment, inspired him to exclaim: "That France is proud of her Napoleon, but Napoleon would resemble a honeybee compared with Colonel Ormsbee. England has her Cromwell, but Pinehurst has her Truesdell and that Tammany is proud of its boss, but that the Tin Whistles have her Donald Ross. At this juncture great conster nation was aroused by the arri val of a message that a man had been killed on the railroad. It appears that he was tired of life o and had tied himself to the track to await the Florida Limited due in a few minutes, and had died of starvation. The Star Spangled Banner was sung standing, and the support of the legion pledged to the ila And the Leonard Tufts wel comed the return of the Tin Whistles to the village and the courses, which they had done so much to establish, and told the story of a captain of industry whose vain endeavors to make good his boast that anyone could hit a golf ball cost him a double eagle and eventually saved him from the cemetery where lie those myriad who wouldn't play golf. Dan Casey of New York, the guest of the club, introduced as obviously a Frenchman, delighted the company with endless. stories and anecdotes from an .apparent ly inexaustible supply. He was interrupted by Jock Bowker, who insisted upon the immediate adoption of a resolution in favor of more votes for women. The sages of the assembly, amid a great demonstration, amended this to read, "More clothes for women," to universal satisfac tion. Having masterfully, put down this incipient insurrection, the toastmaster recounted a conver sation he overheard between two colored brothers of the caddie persuasion : "Whar you gwine, Mose ?" "I swallered a nickel and got to see Doctor Marr quick." "You don't wanta see Dr. Marr. You wanta see Dr. Cheatham." "Why does I?" "If Dr. Cheatham can't get money out of a fellow nobody can. The Reverend T. A. Cheatham responded to this sally. He ex pressed the ideals of the Tin Whistle Club and the spirit of the game of golf in a manner that should remain among" tb permanent annals of the com munity. Donald Ross, field marshal! ex-officio, handicapper extraor dinary, delegate at large for the golfing districts of creation, laid down a few simple maxims by which even the most unintelli gent man can play perfect golf.
