Ever wake up in the morning and
hear the birds singing merrily just out
side your window 1t sort of gives you
feeling of content and makes you
want to get up and do your share in
this battle for life, doesn't it? But If
you want these pretty creatures to con-
tinue giving you what it takes in the
morning, you'd better put bell on that
cat of yours-if you have one. Several
times from a distance we've seen cats
sneak up on songsters and before the
bird coul say "jack rabbit" he was well
down the cats gullet. If you don't feel
like belling the cat you'd better wire
up the trunks of the trees with some pet
invention to keep the cat from climb
ing up to the birds.
If you damage your canoe out in
the wilderness and have nothing to
repair it with except spruce gum, re-
member to melt the gum in fry
ing pan with enough grease to re-
move the brittleness Of gum when it
cOOlS.
The next time you go skimming up
the lake in your speed boat, feeling like
king of the waterways, just remember
that canoes and row boats have the
right of way over motor driven craft.

To Coffee Drinkers.

conquer, August Comstock Of Fergus
Falls, better known as 'Guzzling Gus, -
has issued a challenge to any coffee
drinker in Itasca county to meet him in
a public coffee drinking bout at the
Itasca county fair. Gus is offering the
challenge at this time so that anyone
hoping to defeat him in the match will
have time in which to train for the en-
counter. Gus holds an official record
Of IS eight ounce cups of coffee in three
hours, also a sprint record of 38 cups
in 80 minutes. Gus drinks coffee be-
cause he likes it, putting cream in at
least half of the servings. For several
years he has had an ice cream con-
cession at the Itasca fair, and while
here has noticed number of men
whose ability to drink coffee led him
to believe that he might find a foe
worthy of his own drinking abilities,
hence the challenge.

 Park Opens Tomorrow

Tommy Dorsey, who will appear with his original radio orchestra at the Lake Compounce ballroom Sun day night, is one of the few "big name" band-leaders who believes in giving the little fellow a break.
 Tommy has found from experi- ence that some of the best musicians are to be found in what New York refers to as "the sticks" rather than around the Big City. Tommy him. self came from small Pennsylvania town, Shenandoah, and his folks still live in that same part of the country. He went down to that neighborhood when he needed a bass violin player in forming his band, and from the southern part of the state brought Gene T'raxler to New York.
 There are several other boys in the band who were discovered by Tommy in small towns. Jack Leon-

Kublai Khan in Kambalu, Peiping, had as it's object the extension of private commerce and the develop ment of new trade opportunities for the Polo Brothers, Nicolo and Mai feo, Marcos father and uncle, who were important merchants in the city of Venice.
 Thus, as the worlds first travel ing salesman, Marco set out for distant Cathay-a three years journey through deserts and moun- tains, beset every mile or so by brigands and perils unknown to western civilization.
 Marco was then 21, young game cock, skilled in the use of arms, an excellent horseman and athlete, fearless and perservering in the pursuit of trouble, trade and amourS.
 The young Polo served Kublai Khan for 17 continuous years, years of tremendous danger among bar barrie descendants of Ghengis Khan, the greatest and most ferocious of all conquerors.
 He finally left as the Khan's am bassador, charged with delivering the Circassian-Tartar Princess, Kogatin, over in marriage to Argon, the elderly Sha of Persia and Eastern India.
 It is this last and most romantic episode in Polo's career, that forms the basis for much of the story filmed by Boldwyn.
 Getting a girl to play the role of Kogatin Gin the picture she Is called Kukachin) was another prob- lem which Goldwyn solved quickly. and as the years may judge 1t so, historically.
 over year ago he placed a young Norwegian girl named Sig rid Gurie under contract and for bade her appearance in public. He settled her in the Hollywood Hills, kept photographers and interview CTS from her and ten months later ln typical GoldWyn gesture, placed her in the lead opposite Gary Cooper.
 For the supporting cast, he as- signed Basil Rathbonc to play the Saraccn Prince, Ahmed: Ernest 'FrueX to be Marco Polos diminu- tive Stooge, Binguccio; George Bar bier as Kublai Khan; Alan Hale as Kaidu; Binnic Barnes as his romantic wife, and cast of 5000 to complete one Of the most impos- ing film rosters of modern times.
