BENEFITS OF INTERNATIONAL
SPORTS

The defeat of the British by the Am
erican polo team brings the tOurna-
ment cup back to this country. Proud
as we are of the achievement OF
Messrs. Milburn, Webb, Hitchcock
and Stoddard, the event should not
cast in the shadows the polo games
which have been going on between
American army teams and the Cuban
army four, which terminated in vic
tory for the War Department Greens
over the Cubans after the latter had
eliminated two other army teams,
thus qualifying for the contest with
the Greens. The games with the Gu
bans mark the commencement of
what Major Quekemeyer, U. S. Ar
my, hopes may develop into an annual
international tournament in which
polo teams representing the Latin
Americas and the United States will
participate That is the purpose he
has had in mind for some time, and
it will undoubtedly be encouraged by
the War Department. 1t is hoped that
by next year a tournament may be ar
ranged in whBh Colombia, Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Cuba and a number of
other Latin American countries will
be represented, and, of course, the
United States army.
Such a plan embraces something
more than chukkers and goals. Ath-
letic contests among the best of the
athletes of the Western Hemisphere
will have a mighty influence in ce-
friendships. They might well
begin with polo and end with baseball
and tennis. 1t is not too much to say
that baseball has had almost as much
influence as education in teaching the
Filipinos self-control, quickness Of |
thought, and an appreciation of Amer
lean goodfellowship. Since that game |
was imported into the Philippines by |
the United States Army the FilipinOs
have been as enthusiastic for it as any !
fan to be found in the Chicago bleach
ers. 1t is played by them all over the
Islands, and even the Japanese of |
University have gone up
against the Ruths and JOhnsons of the
Athletic contests between represen-
atives of the Latin Americas and the
United States will go far toward con-
,incing the people of our sister re-
,ublics that the American people are
of fair play and are not the
Iuns which certain European propa-
.andists would have the Latin Amer
cans believe. An All American Olym- {
ic would do more than an ocean Of
ratory in bringing about those pleas
mt relationships between the coun-
ries for which we all yearn. Travel
RS in the Latin Americas are unani-
lous in saying that those people are
rst-class sportsmen, and there is as
luch camaraderie in measuring mus
les as in measuring minds.

The rains have come to the thirsty
earth, but the hot, damp weather is
very much against the wheat crops
that have not been threshed. The mil
lers say there will be a large per-
centage of wheat that will grade very
low, and as the yield is small to the
acreage -sOwn, price and grade low
and of course the seed wheat and fer
tilizer were both very high in price,
the crop has been a losing one for the

FARM BUREAU HOLDS
LOCAL HEARINGS

On Thursday and Friday of last
week the Sussex county farm bureau
held hearings at Georgetown and Sea-
ford concerning the general agricul-
tural conditions in Sussex county at
this time. Prominent farmers, lead
ing bankers, and business men were
asked to this meeting and some very
valuable testimony was obtained
County Agent Vaughn will send this
data to the American Farm Bureau
headquarters at Washington, D. c.,
and will be presented before Congress
which begins this week. Every county
agent in the United States was asked
to hold such meetings last week and
it will have telling effect no doubt,
upon the bills pending Congress at
this time that effect the agriculture
interest of the country.
