He wanted to take it with him, but the t jmily had tried to talk him out of it A feather bed would be out of place in the city.

His possessions had been set out side for the crowd to see; In making the changes the bed had been brought out and was hanging on clothesline post The bed was not part of the sale. Old Grandpa was following the crowd, a little behind now, for he was growing tired. Suddenly, ss he came up, he saw the auctioneer pause beside his feather bed. Grandpa did not realize at the moment what he meant But he was not long In finding out for the brass-lunge- d auctioneer gave it a whack with his cane. There you are, gentlemen, an feather bed. the finest sleeping in the world! What am I bid?" Grandpa knew he could stop the sale, but also he knew he should let It be sold. Newt and the family would be pleased. But it was his bed, a very part of him no! he could not let it be sold. He began pushing his way through the crowd, calling out over and over, "Taint fer sale.

Anton's brown, lined face broke into a grin. Yah, purty near. But I read him. Yudge said I did. They speak of other things. Finally Newt says with an effort at casualness: "That Iowa man's not much good as a farmer, is he? Goot to raise They laugh. "You see the land. continues Anton, washed most out; ditches you could throw a hay frame, makes you sick. Newt is silent "Listen, Newt why don't you buy back your farm? You dont really vant to sell vindmills, do you? "Sure. A long silence; pigeons coo on the ridgepole; a mule colt comes up and sniffs, then gees loping away pretending to be scared to death. Do you suppose he would sell? "He had better or he lose his shirts. Won't neighbor with anybody. Won't swap work. Maybe you want to buy? Newt moves uneasily, Ysee, I put my money into the store, but most of it is gone now. Anton looks at him closely. Maybe I loan you a lettle ." I wouldn't want you to do that, Anton, Newt says thickly. I could put some paper on my feeding steers. I am not a poor man. I wouldn't want you to put paper on your steers, Anton. I I couldn't do that I am puttin paper on my steers, says Anton firmly. You want to see my millet? Paper is always dangerous, Anton. Not with big fam'ly.

They walk back and sit again on the resting bench; it is carved with many initials and has paint daubs and fantastic drawings. "I am putting paper, says Anton. There, They go to the house. framed and hanging proudly on the Anton's naturalization is wall, paper and over it is a flag. Newt's eyes and Anton's meet and the two men think of that day. Anton's wife and childien have been busy; a white tablecloth is on and city napkins are placed fashionably in tumblers There is a blue water pitcher with stylish blisters and there are glasses to match. "I guess you would ask a giace, says Anton and Newt bows a head that is strangely like old Grandpa s. They want to hear about the city; Newt tries to puff it up, but there is no ring. Now and then he glances across at Anton. Anton addresses his family. An now I vill tell you somet'ing He has got the foolishness out of his head. No more vindmills " They turn eagerly to Newt. I dun no. mumbles Newt. "There' lot of things to think of. (TO BE CONTTN'CED) Sam, years old, and bet plenty. Whereupon young Sam would turn in a 69 or a 70. This year of 1950 Is many, many years later. Sammy Snead is now practically But there is still a grin on his lips, a twinkle In his eye and close companionship with his galleries. He Is a good actor and a real comedian. He Is a friendly guy you can't help but like. Above all, he has the finest swing in golf today. Many who know will tell you he has the finest swing of all time. Including Bobby Jones and Harry Vardon. Sammy carries big galleries because he stirs up their admiration by his brilliant play from tee to green and then calls on their sympathy by often blowing two and three-foo- t putts to prove he is strictly human. On the days when be is putting well he has no one close. He is the only golfer I know who can putt raggedly and still keep close to the top. Snead led the field in earnings and scoring through 1949. He is on his way to do the same in 1950. Counting his share in the big money tournaments in California, Arizona and the recent Texas Open, Samuel Jackson had a winning total of $7,558 so far for 1950. This is a lead of $3,000 over second-plac- e Jimmy Demaret. Snead is slowly wending his way to Florida and more tournaments. "I generally dont get along until I reach Florida, he told me. "The puttin miseries keep me back until then. This time Ive started earlier. Maybe Ill Snead has run flop quicker. 2 In most of his starts to date.

Another error came In rating Walter Hagen so far down. Hager won eleven national titles.
