"The Archdeacon of Stow thought it was a good maxim not to
argue with the huntsmen while shooting the rabbits, and moved

"Mr. Arthur J. Balfour, like President Wilson, is an ardent
golfer. He has challenged Mr. Wilson to a match, and the
President of the United States immediately took him up. The
match will be played in a few days.

"'Every able-bodied man and woman found golfing at the present
time should be taken by the scruff of the neck and made to
do some work of national importance,' said Mr. Waldie at the
Edinburgh Parish Council."
