THE PINEHURST ^)UTLOOK VOL. XXllI. NO. 4 JAXrARV 7, 11)20 PRICK 10 CENTS JANUARY A XOTABLE GROUP ON THE CLUB HOUSE STEPS The mled hills lie wanton to the breeze, The fields arc nude, the groves are all unfrocled; Bare are the quivering limhs of shameless trees—• Is it any wonder that the corn is shocked? CARD OF THE COAL CREEK TAVERN Among tlie curiosities picked up by ' a traveler* in a trip to the Jellico and Coal Creek country some years ago was ' a card which read: “2i5 cents an oat—25 cents a sleep, j -’^ Tl>e Edwards House, P. M. Edwards, proprietor, Coal Creek, Tenn. Directly opposite the R. R. Depot. Not the largest hotel in the berg. Not newly furnished throughout. No free bus to trains. Not the best grub the market affords. But simply clean beds and something good to eat. Toothpicks and ice water thrown in. Try ua! Pay us! And if not satisfied keep nuim. Our city is composed mostly of hogs, dig gers, merchants and lawyers, named in the order of their importance. Good cross-tie walks on the principcl through- fares. ’ ’ ORIGIN OF GOLF Here ice shoiv part of our Congressional Committee now investigating con ditions on the Pinehurst Links. Reading from left to right: Congressman liiehard Whale//, South Carolina; Senator Warren C. Harding, Ohio; Con gressman Alvin T. Fuller, Massachusetts and Congressman B. B. Sandford, New York. The first golf appears to be lost in obscurity and its earliest history en* twined with that of several countries claiming its parentage. Whether as a distinct game it came from Holland or whether it is the evolution of seven I games born in England and Scotland iw man knoweth. There are ancient Date i tiles picturing what might have been a prototype, and there is recorded a royal decree of the Scotch parliament in 1457 condemning golf as distract ing the soldiers’ attention from archery. James IV of Scotland placed a tariff on the feather balls which came from Hoi' land, and Charles the First was in the midst of an exciting match when the noAv of the Irish rebellion reached him. ped homes, bigger cattle, more skillfully attended fields, more productive crops. To popularize gardens, to devise better ways of storing, moving, and selling food, to multiply public markets, to clear the entire path from the farm to the family supper table—all such im- povements help, directly and mightily, to make a more effective education pos sible. In this time of change we must take account of realities and make sure of our foundations. The foundation of the good school is the good farm.—Collier *s Magazine. SCHOOL AND F\RM HOW SLANG ‘‘ANNIE OAKLEY’^ STSjJ^TED It ought to dawn on some of us fair- Iv soon that better education is not simply a matter of finer buildings and apparatus, more pay, more taxeis, more organization. These things are all lielpful, but there must be some active spring of life in the child to flow out through the growth channel's which f^*hooling can set. The teacher builds on the solid foun dation of new resources, better equip- Nowadays you hear a free ticket to a ahoAV spoken of as an “ Annie Oakley.” It started up on Broadway. Max Kennedy was the first fellow to give it a boost. You remember the cig arette pictures when you were a kid? Remember Old Judge cigarettes that had in each package a photo of a ball player or a punching champ or the skat ing or the rifle champ! Well, Annie Oakley at that time was the champion rifle shot. When a rifle shot scattered a shooting gallery they usmllv pulled the paper target back on a wire to pipe the bull’s eyes and other bullet holes made by the shooter. Now a pass to a prizefight or any other show ih New York is usually punched with a few bull’s-eyes to show that it is a skull or a dead head. As it resembles the old paper target in this respect, of course it got the name of ‘ ‘ Annie Oakley. ’ ’ So now whenever you see a guy with a pair of skulls punched on his pass that way, you naturally ask, “Where did you get the Oakleys?” The Pinehurst Outlook is published weekly from November to May by The Outlook Publishing Co., Pinehurst, N.

PINEHURST DIVIDES HONORS WITH CAMP BRAGG nOHSK SHOW AT FAYETTEVILLE At the interesting Horse Show recent ly held by the officers at Camp Bragg, Fayetteville’s big artillery training camp, the horses shown by Mrs. P. C. Thomas, of Ronie, N. Y., and by the Pinehurst Stables carried off five firsts, one second, and five thirds, or a total of twelve points out of a possible tw(*nty-four. Mrs. P. C. Thomas is one of Pine hurst’s leading horsewoman; she brings down annually a string of fine horses from Rome and carries home a trunk full of blue rihl)ons. Last year her Biogal Mancie took the Grand Prize. At ('anij> Bragg, however, Biogal ranked second to Polly, in the opinion of the judges. Her Firebrand won two firsts, in the jumping class and in the point to ])oint race, with Major a good third in the jumping contest. Mrs. Thomas’s hoises are always skillfully handled by Ml'. Herbert Caineron. The remaining horses entered from Pinehurst carried off two firsts. Bumper in Class Three and Traveller and George in Class Five. Mr. Tufts’ horses were ridden by Mrs. E. P. Spencer, of the Carolina Hotel, who is Pinehurst’s lead ing equestrienne and figures prominent ly in the ranks of local horse lovers. From all reports the Camp Bragg Show was a very delightful event, and Pinehurst looks forward to entertaining the officers from Camp Bragg at its An nual Horse Show.
