from the following:

from the following:
The ball game Is Indigenous ia
the Americas. Perhaps the first
simtan Inhabitants found true sport
In catching the cocoanuts tossed
down from the tall palms-certain II
|is that several thousand years ago
the ball game had reached high
state Of development in the seventy
cities scattered throughout Yucatan.
On clearing away the matted forests
enveloping these marvellous ruins,
ball courts were disclosed near the
most sacred temples, and, from the
elaborate hieroglyphics and pieto-
graphs ornamenting the walls, much
was learned Of the complicated char
acter Of the sport. Centuries after
the passing Of these ancient Mayans,
came the first Spanish explorers who
found that younger race In contig-
uous territory, the Aztecs. had re-
|vtvAd the old pastine INFO national
game, with stone God Of Sport
beaming on every court.
Rubber Ball Used.
The, popularity OF these early
games was that the ball. when in
play. was not thrown with the hand
but struck by the hip, around
which the player wore i protecting
pad of elather. At each end Of the
court wac a great stone disk with a
hole In the center, and through this
orif1ce the ball was driven before a
point was scored. Very naturally a
lively" ball was used. since rubber
trees dominated the forests.
"old chfoniclers marvel at the
skill and endurance Of the players,
for game was seldom won under
four hours Of constant play. Such
|exhausting contests, with dozen
participants In almost constant ac-
ton. were not for amateurs but pro-
fessionals. Thus. from the Aztec
word oil, signifying bali" came
the word "mollonqui," one WHO plays
ball for living"
Another form Of ball game ID
played by the Indian tribes Of the
Cuduiaryr river region in the wida
OF Brazil. A carefully, leyelad field
Hes In front Of the malokas. or large
communal houses, and daily, at 5
o'clock, the men returning from the
days hunting or fishing, indulge IN
the sport-not a complicated game
like that Of the early Medcans, but
one calling for d high degree Of skill,
as two balls are used by the players,
who drive them with the hands to-
ward their opponents. Yellow tail
feathers Of the Yapoo Bird are az
fixed to the rubber balls for accuracy.
Chilean Indians Play.
The Araueanian indians Of south
ern Chile play an ancient game with
wooden balls driven BY wooden clubs.
In clearing. 800 BY rs yards, In
closed BY cut branches Of trees. these
Indians play chueca, which greatly
resembles Ia crosse or, field hockey.
The game is played from chiidhcd
and the players acquire great skill
and the matches draw large crowds.
The game calls for great endurance
and while generally played in two or
three hour periods, several days have
been known to pass before a decision
was reached. During the play it il
not unusual to hear a player cry.
"Am I not a real oak tree?" or '.ls
he not a Hons leg?" after q brilliant
stroke. Such IL AraucaIian slang.

Farm Invsstisatiea Tour Fol Audubon Co.

Tuesday evening Mays5, at Bethel
the Farmers Gimtitute of Audubon
county was reorganizedg with the follow.
ing officers alHutsd for one year; Presi-
dent, Albert Weston; Secretary, John
Sampson; Trpasaner, Ebert Thomas.
Two things have been planned. One
is the Investigation Tour for the county
to be done by the Iowa State College at
Ames. The college will send six men
at state expense to our county TO visit
eight farms, where these experts on
soil, cattle, horses, crops, drainage and
farm conyeniences, will speak for so
minutes All the expense TO the men
of the county will be to get these speak
ers from farm to farm, as the state pays
the hotel bills and railroad fare of the
men. These men will be taken to farm
where each man from the college will
speak on his particular speciality, and
those interested. may hear him. thus
choosing the theme that each desires.
These men will make notes of things
seen on the road, on the farm, and
particular vicinity. In taking the men
from farm to farm, it will give every
person in the county chance 70 hear
the lectures and not have very far to
drive from his own home. When we
remember that only 40 counties of the
state will be thus visited ana Audubon
is one of them, Audubon people should
feel proud of the fact and do all that is
possible to make Audubon county peo-
pie feel under obligations TO attend the
lectures at one of the farms nearest
them. There will be no charge for these
lectures. They are given to Audubon
county by the state. Your tax money
pays the bill and you should feel it is
your duty TO get what you have already
paid for. Just as soon as themen of the
Farmers Institute pick out the eight
farms to be visited. the names will be
published in the Republican, Then it
Is up TO the entire county to boost.
