LEFT. TOP TO BOTTOM, HEA ARIZONA POLO FIELD. RIGHT Tucson, Ariz., Feb. 27.--Among the mute, inglorious Mitons that Thomas Gray overlooked when he grieved about champions who suffered ig- nominy because they happened to be born a mile or two from thu strand, should be added the name of Colonel Ralph NJ. Parker, coach Of the uni- versity of Arizona polo team.
 Had it not been for the fact that his team recently won the western intercollegiate polo championship at San Antonio and is to meet Yale in the spring for the national title. Colonel Parker, like many other world-beaters exiled to the hinter- land, would have passed out an un- known.
 How Colonel Parker rounded mp his team, taught his men a simple. slash ing attack, brought them through two seasons without a defeat by a college team, is one Of the romances of college sport Remember when he started polo in the spring of 1922, he had no turf field, no polo ponies, no equip ment of any kind except sixteen army saddles about twenty cavalry mounts and level stretch of dessert land.
 < "sanIlot" Outfit
 When the squad first came together and for year later, none of the play CTS even had helmets. They played in old army brooches, old shirts and boots. ft was distinctly a sandlot team.
 But the boys had Parker. He is no ordinary member of the military arm. In fact, when reductions in rank were coming in wholesale lots after the war, Parker, a soldier risen from the ranks. moved from ma jority to a lieutenant-colonels rank. Mighty few. if any. kept company with him in that march.
 II was in the fall Of 1929 that he took on the officers Of the Tenth Cavalry al Fort Huachuca and 10 the surprise Of everybody beat them by score of goals 10 C.
 In the spring of 1923 he brought Leland Stanford to Tucson. This was the first intercollegiate game ever played in the west Then came the san Antonio tournament and the sue cession Of victories over Texas A. N M. New Mexico, Colorado and Okla h0ma.
 Makes star cl sailor
 some may assume that Arizona ought to take to a sport iH which q horse is counted 50 per cent of suc- cess as Scsndinavians do to skiing. This in a measure is true. Captain Johnny Fuller. No. 2, Harry saun- ders, No. 1. Monty Woody, No. 1, Paul Sawyer. who alternates with Woody at No. 1, and Jimmy Hearon, No. ,. have all done some cattlo punching in their day. They knew how to ride and that is q great deal in polo.
 But significant proof of Parker's genius is Jack Magee. vh0 recently became a regular. dispiacing Captain Fuller. He knnw nothing Df polo and had never ridden a hofse. because they didn't have horses aboard the battleship on which he had done serv- ice for two years. 1f anybody can make a polo player out Of a sailor. Q Bd that's what Parker did, little thing like meeting Yale shouldn't raise his pulse more than ten beats.

Good Radio Argument.

Mothers who have anxiously
watched their young sons sitting
for hours with headphones clamp
ed over their heads need have no
fear of injury, according to the
prominent French physician, DIR.
c. A. Binet. He says:
"The young generation will new
er be bothered with protruding
ears, an affliction which was
prominent among their ancestors.
Youngsters who sit for at least
three hours a day with radio head
phones clamped over their ears
will grow to be handsome men
with close fitting ears. Mothers
who formerly tied back the pro-
truding ears of their offspring
should buy radio set with head
phones as soon as possible. Elk

DObbin Was Slow Method.

On account of unbroken roads
between Eagle River and Phelps,
Frank Salo and Frank Neimi, two
citizens of that town, were COM
PEELED to drive one-hoss shay
from Phelps to Eagle River the
first of the week in order to at
tend court where Mr. Neimi was
to appear for his naturalization
papers. Salo states that a few
years ago the seventeen mile trip
with a horse and sleigh was moth
ing, but that now since everybody
uses a car, it seemed like several
hundreds of miles from one vii
lage to- the other. Guess he has
it about figured out correctly.
Let the average man set in behind
Old Dobbin these days and he is
out of luck as far as speed is con-
cerned. One mighty good thing
about Dobbin he never runs out
of gas.

state to residents living between
his place and the Mishak corner
where highway "P" leaves the
Deerskin road, that if they will

and the Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce, the urging Of the broad gaug-
ing of the railroad from Nina. to and
through Owens Valley. The Inyo
county chamber of commerce will
lend assistance in this demand for
rail expansion. and it is the belief
that something can be done along
this line that will bring this all i'm
portant matter to a head
The widening of the rails over the
White mountains and through Inyo
county would give this whole section
a direct route into Los Angeles. The
Southern Pacific has had surveys
made, has it's estimates and facts and
figures on this development of rail
roading. The Los Angeles chamber
has urged this expansion and in fact
last summer sent its representatives
through Nevada to look over the sit
uation.
The railroad is undoubtedly look
ing for more trade and other markets
and with a combined effort on the
part of the Nevada sections that are
interested together with the Inyo
county people and the Los Angeles
boosters there can be made clamor
for this expansion that will not go

DIES WHILE ON VISIT

Joseph Swope, well known in this
valley died suddenly at the homo Of
daughter in Susanville last week
and the remains were brought to this
city for internment on Saturday last.
A number of friends and the rela-
tiyes in this section paid the final
tribute to worthy man.
Joseph Swope was native of Mis-
souri,, where he was born December
II, 1S49. He had lead an active and
useful life and was among the early
pioneers to the west.
He leaves two daughters, Ma.

Recent Storm Period Hard
On Unprotected Stock

The recent storm followed by
record cold weather in this valley
has made trying conditions on many
of the dairy farms throughout the
valley. In most instances little shell
ter has been provided owing to many
open winters and the belief that
weather would be mild over this por-
ton of Nevada.
Those who have made a survey of
the conditions state that while no
losses of stock have been reported
that it is one of the most trying per-
iods that dairymen of the section
have experienced in number of
years.
l.. E, Cline and County Agent All
Reed are urging the construction of
some kind of shelter for furure con-
tingeneies. In a number of instances
brush shelters have proven their
worth, and on a number of farms
such shelters have been provided
The cold spell together with the ex-
cessive cold will undoubtedly lead
to more shelter being provided in
the future, especially as the dairy
interests will be doubled within the
next twenty four months.
Butter to Remain High
L. E. Cline, who recently returned
from a dairy meeting at Davis, Calf,
is of the opinion that butter fat will
remain high for some tims to come.
Conditions on the other side are not
favorable for an over abundance OF
iced, owing to the lack of moisture
and the cold period. In some of the
counties it is stated that it will re
-quire at least two years to recover
from the effects of the drouth and
that range feed will undoubtedly be
short for the next year The dairy
interests of California realize that
they face a shortage, are predicting
"a steady demand for butter fat and
that there is little prospect of any
material reduction in the price.
Should Hold Stock
Mr.. Cline is of the opinion that
every effort should be made to hold
the dairy stock in this valley togeth-
'er with the increase. He is confident
that with the conditions that exist
on the coast and the demand for but
ter fat now existing on this project
that those who hang on and make
the effort will come in for the bene-
fits another season. He believes that
in some instances that 1t will be nee
essary to buy hay, but this will be
compensated for by the steady cream
price which was the prediction at
the Davis meeting.
1t developed at the California
meeting that this section was among
the few on the coast that are known
as disease free and that the products
from this section are eagerly sought.
He believes 1t mistake to ship out
any of the stock and advises an eff
fort on the part of the owners ta
hang onto what they have as the
prospects for the future are extreme
/ ly bright.
In several of the California dis
tricts the demand for hay will un-
doubtedly tax the resources of many
