Cass Dairymen Are Troubled By 3 Types Of Flies WEEPING WATER Dairy men are troubled with three types of flies according to agri cultural extension agents here. They are house, horn, and stable flies. House flies can be controlled with methoxychlor residual spray or a poisoned bran in which malathion is mixed with sugar or molasses. Horn flies also can be con trolled with methoxychlor used as a spray or on a mechanical home made back rubber. Stable flies are especially dif ficult to control in yards and pastures. These flies are blood suckers so any spray acts only as a temporary repellant, of ficials continued. A spray mix ture of pyrethrin compounds and Crag repellants mixed with water or distillate oil is effect ive for a short time. REXALL 14 SHOULD CONTACT II EASON hi I tm m p pi Patio," Dead Duck Came! I- orseoacic DosicetDasi uame ay Be Tried in For 65 years basketball has fascinated North Americans, but the organization of a ','pato" league in Argentina introduces a new twist. The Argentines play their basketball on horses. Originated by the Indians and enthusiastically adopted by the hard-riding gauchos of the pam pas, the game of pato has been called the roughest of them all, says the National Geographic Society. Pato means duck in Spanish. The name is an apt one, for the original "ball" was a dead duck sewn into a leather bag. The duck's head was allowed to stick out, and two other handles were attached. ' Pato's object is to throw the duck into a basketlike net at each end of a polo-sized field about 230 yards long and 90 yards wide, The catch is that each player holding the ball must "offer" it at all times, hold ing the pato at arm's length so that opposing players can grasp it. With hard riders and swift, sure ponies this can lead to what a sports writer has des cribed as "a combination of la crosse, ice hockey, polo, duel ing and going ..over Niagara Falls with nothing but water wings." The dead duck has long since been replaced with six leather handles. Safety rules are rigidly enforced. But the game retains enough action to. excite the most jaded spectator. The pato is free much of the time. The referee ends any tug ging match between players within half a minute if neither Rural Teachers in Plattsmouth On August 24 Cass County Institute for Class One school teachers wiU be held on Monday, August 27 at the Lions Club Rooms, be ginning at 9 a. m.

A Classified Ad in The Journal costs as little' as "35 'cents I r I 61 United States has relinquished his hold or been pulled from the saddle. The scramble for the free ball is fast and furious. Ponies are trained to seek the pato and to block out other riders. The player must, of course, retrieve the ball from the saddle and usually at a fast clip.' This is probably the most dangerous part of the game. With eight riders, four to a side, all-cir-cling the pato, anything can happen. Penalties are more severe than in most sports. The worst allows one free goal and a free, throw at the basket from ten yards. It is given for deliberate obstruction such as crossing in front of a charging rider. Fail ure to offer the ball brings a free throw from the referee to the leader of the opposing team. Coming to a dead stop over a grounded pato also means loss of the ball to the other side. The match begins with play ers lined up on their respective goal lines. The pato is thrown by the referee into the middle of the field, whereupon all rid ers begin a headlong dash. The goals are nets resembling airfield wind socks, mounted on. padded poles some 20 feet high; As in polo, players are given goal ratings, but there are no ten-goal men, who is rated a phenominal player. The game is now confined to Argentina. But several other". J South American countries have expresses interest, as have fans in the United States, and plans are being made for international competition.
