PLAY Good POLO
Indian Beggars Are Adopts at
"Rioh Mans Came"
Have Their Own Rules, but Are Able
to Give British officers "Run fe'
Their Money"

polo is supposed to be rich EaSns
came. but 60 to Gilgit, in Kashmir, the
original home of Indian polo ana there
you will see it played even by Deggars
and played well.
The great game was brought 10
India centuries ago by the Perslahs'
the countrymen of Omar, who, accord
ing to FITZGERALD, mentions his ma
tional game in his poetry.
Gilgit tiny Indian frontier town.
boasts of being the first home OF polo
in the empire, and there they play it
as it was played by those old Persian
sportsmen,
You need be no millionaire to be
polo enthusiast in Gilgit. You need
not order your breeches in Saville row
nor buy your ponies at TattersalPs to
play it as it is played there. All you
require is a pony-and that every ma
tive peasant pOssesses-and a stick,
which you will probably make out OF
cane with your own hands.
on polo days the glad news that a
game is about to begin is announced
by some one shouting it in the village.
soon all the lads of the village appear
on tiny ponies not more than 10
hands high ard with the oldest col
lection Of saddles ever seen. Some OF
these saddles look more like chairs
than anything else, While others are
Ibolstered I'D with bundles in front to
assist their riders to keep off the
ground as much as possible.
The game is played with an almost
unlimited number Of players on either
side, and the polo ground is the main
road. There are no goal posts. A wall
at each end Of the polo ground serves
as such, and the game is played not by
chullkers but until one side has scored
nine goals or until both teams are Ut
terly exhausted.
The sticks at Gilgit differ both in
shape and material from those Sener-
ally used. They are fashioned cut OF
cane and are L-shaped rather than Il
shaped, like those used at birmingham.
They are also made without point
ed end to their heads, and have 10
straps to slip over the wrist Any
player is allowed to pick up the ball
or catch it in his hand and immedi-
ately fling it as far as possible toward
the goal This procedure, which might
annoy the umpires at birmingham, is
made possible by the size Of the pom
les.
There are three native teams at Gill
git. the best of which plays against
the British officers stationed there,
and among which are some very fine
players, On tournament days prizes
are uniformly the same. The first
prize always consists of 200 cartridges
and the second Of four blanket over
coats.
There is some difference between
the polo played up and down the stony
street of sun-baked Gilgit by native
Deggars on horseback-many half
naked and in rough homemade sad
dles-and that played on the smooth
and noble turf Of birmingham. Yet
men who know both say that no better
game exists than that which is played
during long, heat-laden afternoons up
and down that duSt-embedded street

WESTERN EUROPE
TURNS TO FARMING

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Agri-cul-
ture in western Europe is being
rapidly re-established on a normal
basis, according to Nat G. Murray,
crop statistician of the department
of agriculture, who has just return
ed from an investigation Of Euro
pean crop conditions.
Farm lands in Germany are well
titled and the farm houses are well
kept" said Mr.. Murray today I'm
the devastated parts of northern
France the land has been brought
back to a normal state of cultiVa-
ton.
"The American farmer visiting
western Europe is impressed by the
small size but high state of cultiva-
ton of fields,N the large proportion
Of hand labor as contrasted with
machine labor on American farms,
the large use of women as laborers
in the fields, and the use Of oxen
instead of horses as work animals
Two-wheeled carts instead Of four
wheeled wagons are universally used
and few automobiles are seen in the
farming districts"
Mr.. Murray said he was impress
ed in England by the high prices at
which 100 purebred Fresian cattle
from South Africa sold at an auc-
ton sale. The average price for
the lot was $4,000 a head, one cow
bringing $4,000, and bull calf
born the day before the sale, selling
for more than 500.

Man Angered by
"Whistling, = Stays
Village Blacksmith

HARLAN, Ia, July 2S.-Special
care is being taken by Sheriff Oscar
Hansen, of Shelby county, to keep
secret the whereabouts of John
Schaefer, aged 70, who is under ar
rest charged with Staying John
Math Hersdt, with an ak at Panama,
IL miles northwest of here, last Fri
day. There is considerable feeling
against Schaefer at Panama, and
Sheriff Hansen says he fears vio-
lence in the event the accused mans
whereabouts is made known.
Schaefer was regarded as harm
less character about town at Pan
anna, who harbored an intense dis
like for whistling. Boys Of the town
had teased the aged man for years
by whistling tunes when within
hearing distances of him.
Last Friday, however, the old man
became so .enraged at the whistling
that he went to his home and OBJ
tanned an ak. He carried the ak
about town making threats to all
who whistled. There are conflict
ing stories as to his motives for
striking Hersdt. One version is that
Hersdt, who was the village black
smith, had attempted to act as
peacemaker between the old man
and the boys. Another is that Hersdt
was struck because he was whistling
a tune At any rate Hersdt was
given a terrific blow with an ak,
which resulted in his death in an
Omaha hospital during the following
nicrht ,s....

WASHINGTON. July 2S.- Sena-

Senator Nelson is the latest insur-

tariff, which, he declared, would
amount to 100 per cent on suit
of clothes, caused him to join the

"This is an unconscionable tariff, "
Senator Nelson declared. II would
be ashamed to go back to the people
of Minnesota and tell them 1 had

on clothes they must wear to keep
them warm in winter. If that's the

Brewer Girl Freed
After Telling Story
In Juvenile Court

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 81
Mildred Brewer, sixteen-and-a-half-
year-old girl, descendant of the dis
tinguished family Of Alabama, is to-
day at liberty, in the custody Of her
mother, having been freed at Sc
cret trial yesterday before Judge Lee
Holloway, in juvenile court, of the
charge of killing A. Ports Nc
Keithan, husband of the girls cou-
sin. Miss Brewer is under orders
to report with her mother every
week to the Juvenile court of Mont
gomery county.
According to information divulg-
ed by Semple Seibels, county solicit
tor, the Brewer girl testified at the
hearing that McKeithan, whose
body was found in an isolated spot
in the woods west Of Montgomery
last Thursday, was killed by his
own revolver. She told of love
affair between herself and Nc
Keithan, at whose home she had
spent much time.
SO great was public indignation
over the secret hearing that court
officials gave out transcript Of the
girls testimony a; the end fthe
trial.
The transcript showed the prog
ress of the love affair between the
girl, scarcely more than a child, and
McKeithan to it's final tragic Gull
nination. Describing the fatal
struggle, the transcript said that
McKeithan pulled revolver from
his pocket and cooked it, and with
his arm around the girls waist,
threatened to kill her and then him
self. She strug yled, seized the re-
volver, it was discharged. Nc
Keithan collapsed in her arms, and
slid to the ground, a bullet through
his head.
When she realized that McKeithan
had died, she thought Of expiation.
She told polio she killed McKeithan
because her hand was on the re-
volver when it was discharged, and
she thought his blood was on her
hands because she had not done as
he wished.
Besides .ae girls testimony, Cor
oner J. J. Difflay was heard. His
story corroborated that Of the girl.
