Rumors of Feud Following
Argentina's Decisive Win

BY JOHN +. KELLY.

N YEW YORK-North America
N meets South America for what
VI may be the polo supremacy of
A the world. And to hear some
of the rumor- starters on the side
lines of the polo test matches, which
just have ended, you'd think all the
high goal American players we're
prepared to stop at nothing short of
murder in out-roughing the visiting
Argentines, who play their first serious
match in the open September 16.
This isn't true. The very men who
appear to be the toughest on the
field usually are the best players and
the finest sportsmen.
There's Tommy Hitchcock. who has
thrown off the disguise Of a dawdler
in the last few matches and revealed
himself once again as the old master
the worlds best polo player. He's
rough and tough, is Tommy; he can
dish it out but he can take it, too.

Some of these problems which

proper working heights affect the
posture of the homemaker and in

how to manage time instead of
time managing the homemaker.
Properly managed time allows for
leisure time for self-development
and for enjoying family life and
recreation. This in turn strength
ems family relations and develops
greater interest in the home espec-

Despite blocked roads and illness

brink since suggestions and mater

Where Milk Comes From

Civilized man obtains most OF his
milk from cows, but in some parts
of the world other domestic animals
are used. The Laplander gets his
milk from reindeer, the Tibetan Of
the high Himalayas from yaks, the
rowing Tartar from mares, and the
Bedouin of the desert from camels.
In the temperate regions many
pastoral tribes subsist on the milk
Of sheep and goats, while those in
hot countries milk the buffalo. The
milk Of all these animals, states a
writer in the Washington Post, in
tended by nature as nourishment
for their young, contains practically
the same ingredients, but in varying
proportions. Ordinary cows milk is
81 per cent water, 4 per cent fat, S
per cent lactose and 3 per cent cas-
Elm. It is also rich in vitamins,
iron, phosphorus and calcium.

our plans. 1t is longtime pro-

the most enlightened theories of
modern government. There is no
turning back from 1t, because the
people will never want us to turn
back-no more so than they would
want us to return to the days of
human slavery.
These increased expenditures
must be regarded as current ex-
penditures and must be met by
current revenues. It would be un-
fair to meet them through bond
issues or through Increasing the

Miles Of County Line
Construction

Stearns county's rural electrified
ton program is progressing as fast
as can be expected. At this time
there are a little over 900 signers
Interested in coming in on the pro-
gram. The map and other applica-
ton papers are practically COM
pieted and will be leaving the coun-
t. in the course of a week or ten
days.
On Saturday, L. P. Zimmerman,
extension specialist in rural cleo
trification, was in the county and
assisted the president, j. NJ. Miller,
and secretary George Determan, at
the county agents office in the
completion of several of the nee
essary forms. 1t will require ap-
proximately 300 miles of line con-
struction to take care of the farm
families now interested in availing
themselves of this program. Need
less to say the number interested
in going in on this program will in
crease as time goes on but the num-
Der that can be taken care of will
be limited to the number of folk
living on the routes of the proposed
lines.

The necessity for general relief
will; continue. General relief Is de-
signed to meet the needs Of those
persons and families who do not
fall into any of the categories Of
the federal social security and en-
ployment programs; those who
may become eligible later on but
who are not currently permitted to
participate in the several types Of
state aid, and those who are elig-
ible for the federal employment and
other programs but who, because
Of the nature of the programs
themselves, are not permitted to
participate regularly.
Due to the rapidly changing pro-
grams themselves and the variable
factors which enter into them, 1t Is
most difficult at this time to ac-
curately estimate the financial
needs Of general relief. The Works
Progress Administration, the Re-
settlement. Administration, and
kindred activities, as well as the
degree Of pickup we can expect
from private business, are import
ant variables which make forecast
ing Of general relief needs hazard
Gus.
It must be remembered that any
great change in the variable fac
tors will correspondingly change
the need one way or the other. Ac-
curate estimates can probably be
made after 1t Is known what Con-
