Today's
Sportorial
-By KIRK MILLER

According to one who is in q
position to know, pari-mutuel
betting dropped off between 40
and so per cent during the 10
weeks of racing in the State Of
Maryland during the recent fall
meetings.
Such is the information CLEAN
ed from AL Opperman, the
agent at the tracks, who han
dies the ome-back money. He
is not only in a position to
gauge the amount and nature
of gambling done at the tracks,
but because he is the middle
man for the wealth of coin that
is wired in from the great out
side, the big towns and little
hamlets from coast to coast and
from border to border, he can
feel the pulse of the nation in
so far as horse betting is con-
cerned.
Whereas a year ago this fall
Opperman handled just a bit
less than two million dollars at
the Maryland tracks, this year
he doubts if he handled half
that much. He says:
81 have handled as much as
$4,000 and $4,000 in a single
day in the past sent to me from
all parts of the country as far
west as st. Louis. During this
seasons racing $4,000 was con-
sidered . big days business, and
some days it fell below $4,000.
The day that StarpatIc won the
Bowie Stake the handle would
have been only about $4,000, If
that same amount Of bets didn't
drop in on Starpatic at the last
minute, driving the price down
to almost nothing"

YOUTH

Youth is not time of life-it is
state of mind. 1t is not a matter
of ripe cheeks, red lips and supple
knees; it is a temper of the will, a
quality of the Imagination, a vigor
of the emotions; it is freshness of
the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental
predominance of courage over tim
idity, of the appetite of adventure
over love of ease. This often ex-
lists in a man of fifty more than in
a boy of twenty.
Nobody grows old by merely liv-
ing a number of years; people grow
old only by DESERVING their ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin, but to give
up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear
and despair-these are the long,
long years that bow the head and
turn the growing spirit back TO
dust.
Whether seventy or sixteen, there
is in every beings heart the love of
wonder, the sweet amazement at the
stars anu the SJdIllhc IIllIlSS dAO
thoughts, the undaunted challenge
of events, the unfailing childlike
appetite for what next, and the joy
and the game of life.
You are as young as your faith,
as old as your doubt;as young as
your self-confdence, as old as your
fear; as young as your hope, as
old as your despair.
In the central place of your
heart there is wireless station; so
long as it receives messages of
beauty, hope, cheer, courage, gran
deur and power from the earth
from men and from the infinite, so
long are you young.
When the wires are all down and
all the central place of your heart
is covered with the SHOWS of pes
simism and the ice of cynicism,
then are you grown old indeed and
may God have mercy on your soul.

Federal Board Explains
Grain Handling Method
Cash Advances Are Made Without
Delay to Farmers Under Certain
Conditions

The Federal Farm board program
for the cooperative marketing of
grain is clearly stated in a letter
given to the public under date Of
October %, 1929. The Farm board
says:
There is a grain cooperative in
every wheat state. 1t is open to the
membership of every wheat farmer.
The farmer may join, ship his wheat
to designated concentration point
where it will be graded and classed,
and draw his advance. The coopera-
tive will market the wheat in order
ly fashion through the year and
will settle with the farmer on the
basis of the final price obtained"
The Minnesota Wheat Growers
Cooperative Marketing association
is fully recognized by the Federal
Farm board as a cooperative, and
is making the Farm Board ad-
vances authorized by it in it's en-
deavor to stabilize the farm price
of wheat.
A farmer wishing an advance on
his wheat puts it up as security for
the money advance. He does this by
signing the temporary marketing
agreement attached herewith. This
binds him only with respect to
wheat actually delivered The effect
of the temporary marketing agree
ment is that of bill of sale and
passes the title of the wheat on the
Minnesota Wheat growers.
With the wheat legally in it's pos
session, the Minnesota Wheat grow
ers can now pass valid title on to
the governmental agencies making
the loans, and so can secure with
each bushel of wheat the money
necessary to finance it.
In arranging these advances for
and to the farmer, the Minnesota
Wheat growers is the agent both OF
the farmer and of the Federal
Farm board.
The amounts per bushel shown in
the attached schedule of advances
are guaranteed to the farmer. Be-
fore the advance is made deductions
ample to care for all handling, NOV
ing, storing and selling charges are
taken out. The only charge to be
met by the farmr is one of $3.50 as
a membership fee which entities
him to all benefits of the Farm
board marketing program.
If the wheat market remains be-
low the advance-per-bushel level,
the farmer loses nothing The
Farm Board stands the loss.
If there is a net profit above the
advance per bushel level, the farm
er will receive a check for net in.
crease.
Every bank in the state of Mime
sofa has the necessary Minnesota
wheat growers temporary market
ing agreement blanks, the signing
of which makes any farmer eligible
to all benefit of the Federal Farm
