There was $335,0OO worth Of
horses sold at public auction after
the games. The British sold 48
head for $183 400, the Americans
Sc head, $4,000 and the Austral-
ians 25 head for $4,000. The Brit
ish averaged nearly $4,000 a horse.
The Americans only $4,000 and the
Australians, $4,000. White Slave,
an English bred mare played by the
English, brought $4,000 Bucks.
Lady Luck another English one,
brought $4,000 and an Australian
mare, Isobel, $4,000. The reason
the Americans didn't bring as much
was the fact that most Of the best
horses played by the American
team was privately owned and was
not put up for sale at all. The ones
sold were just the ones that were
owned by the Polo Association.

WHAT MAKES A CITY GREAT?
4 PROMINENT citizen of New

= Il u
- York has his ideas as to the
requirement for building a COM
munity. One of his sayings is
found on a calendar published by
his company. It reads:
$50 you must look for something
more than natural advantages to
explain the growth and prosperity
Of some cities. You must look for
the men. One man, perhaps, in the
community can give that city or
that district the impetus that rolls
up and makes it a wonderful city,
while some other city of greater
natural advantages never is able
to equal it."
There was a saying of BENJAMIN
Franklin's that s1there is more in
the man than there is in the land. y
It is the quality Of the citizen af-
ter all, and not the quantity, which
makes town great.
Hustling men in community
men of vision and energy, give a
distinctive stamp to a town. These
things make a community go. The
character and ability of the peo-
pie are more valuable than nunl-
bers. In enumerating the advan-
tages of a town, they are Obliged
to be considered. For there is nc
other element than can compare
with them.

HALLOWEEN ONE NIGHT


TT may seem bit unjust to the
= very young whose Halloween fro
lie is to be confined to onenight
alone, but It is very appropriate
restriction on the increasing num-
Der of "rough-necks" who choose
several nights this time of year
to commit candalism.
The pitiful thing is that Hallow-
cen, fascinating ceremony that it
has been for many, many years,
pretext for many acts of mis-
chief, has been distorted by a few
disorderlies in many communities
into an occasion for senseless de-
struction of public and private
property.
.Householders can endure much
from children and even the older
ones conceived in the spirit of fun,
but when property is wrecked, or
air let out of tires of a large
fleet of automobiles, the most
popular thing the police can do is
to use clubs and handcuffs ON the
rowdies If they can be caught.
The nation almost lost Fourth
OF July celebration because the
extremists knew no limits. Other
holidays have been imperiled also

cient q ceremony to be ruined by

en- out of the gate receipts, and TINS
year the Association had them
selves bought up quite string OF
ponies for our team. Heretofore
they had depended entirely on the
generosity of other players loan
ing their best horses to the big
team, but this year they bought
some themselves, and sold them
after the games. OF course some in
dividuals sold their horses. Char
lie Wrightsman, a fine young
