year by w. K, vanderbilt: Last week
Arthur e. Macdonald trimmed it down
to "a 2-5, and soon after Mr.. Bowden
knocked off another fifth. Since then
he expressed the opinion that he could
go 33 seconds or under. He did it.
Young Macdonald was also to have
tried for world's kllometer and better
mile record, but certain parts of his
engine became strained: He made the
attempt, however, making the kilome-
ter in rs 2-5. The automatic failed on
the mile, which was not taken. 1t
would not have been a record.
The 10-mile record was again smash
ed. 1t was in the final of the Ormand
derby for the Major Miller trophy.
Young Macdonald, who won the tro-
ply, covered the 10 miles in 6:15. The
record before this meet was $50, made
by W. K. Vanderbilt here last year.
Last week Mr.. Thomas trimmed this
down to 6:31 as. He was second in the
10-mile Ormond derby this morning
finishing III e:1S 1-5, beating his own
fine record of a few days ago. 1t was
after .his race that MacDonald's ma
chine bent bar, which interfered with
the proper handling of his machine.
The fifth mile race wag devoid Of
any special interest, although some
worlds records were made. 1t seems
the order of things now for worlds rec
ords to be established each year on the
Ormond beach. These records are tried
for at other meets at home and abroad,
but it remains for new machines to
come here and lower the records. All
are agreed that there is not such a
speedway on earth as the stretch along
this coast from here to Mosquito Inlet.

why one Central American Town
Had bad Drinking water.
Here Is an incident that illustrates
the unexpected difficulties which en-
terprlse has sometimes to face I'm GER
tain regions OF Central America: From
certain large lake an important town
drew its supply Of water. By means
OF powerful steam driven pumps the
water was drawn from the lake
through a strong iron pipe, which, aft
err running some eighty or ninety yards
into the lake from the shore. ended In
en- upward turn, a short arm bent at
right angles to the pipe and rising to
within a few feet OF the surface. Sud
denly an epidemic visited the town In
question. The. company's reputation
being threatened, 1t was decided to
stralghtway pull up the Stoets and ex-
pose the main pipes and conduIts.
The entire systerR was laid bare,
from the outskirts OF the town TO the
very shores Of the lake, but the minut-
est examination failed to reveal any
suspicious feature. Then, almost at
their wits end, for the epidemic was
raging as badly as ever, the officials
entered upon the last lap and turned
their attention to the submerged por-
lions OF the conduit, and here 1t was
they found the cause. A huge ALL
gator had been drawn toward the
mouth Of the main by the very strong
influx, and, being unable to release
itself from the suction, had remained
there until 1t died, and thus, for good
ness knows how long, all the water
consumed in the town had first filtered
through the decomposed carcass OF the
alligator

what They Are an. the Ases nj
which They First Appear.
Professor Earl Barnes is authority
for the following list Of human hun
gers" and the ages ut which they can
first be noticed:
Hunger for food and drlnk--lnfancy.
Hunger for actlon-lnfancy.
Hunger for knowledge-infancy.
Hunger for companlonshlp six
weeks.
Hunger for property-twoy years.
Hunger for self aggrandReihent-f
years.
Hunger for beauty-two years.
Hunger for Beasoning-seven years.
Hunger for worship-thirteen years.
Hunger for righteousness - fifteen
years.
The natural desire for food and drink
is strongest, said the professor, at
birth. After twenty the appetite
should, II not misused, become less and
less till at seventy a man or woman
ought to require only one small meal
a day.
The hunger" for property is very
strong at about nfteen-the collect
ing age, when boys will amass any
thing, from stamps to beetles. When
all other hangers" fail the property
hunger" still exists, and a man is most
likely to be a miser when he is nearest
his grave.
The hunger" for beauty-that is, the
real beauty hunger" which means the
admiration OF art for arts sake-is the
most uncommon OF all.-Eondon Ex-
press.

"opEN" COMPETITION.

True Democrat On August first
when certified check" was re-
quired, Supreme Court report
printing was awarded to the Capt.
tai Publishing Company at $3.50
per page. On August second,
when no Certified check" was
required, the same kind of printing
was awarded the St. Augustine
Record Company at "a cents per
page. The first arrangement kept
out competition and placed the
work in chosen hands, while the lat
ter, allowing real competitive bid
ding, saves to the taxpayers of Flor
ida 10 cents on each page, Besides,
all printing that comes from the St.
Augustine house is neat and clean
and will compare favorably with
the best law work done anywhere.
Again, the same kind of work, re-
printing several volumes of Su-
preme Court reports, was awarded
to the Painter Company, of De-
Land, last week at 10 cents page
a saving of 10 cents a page-under
the system of honest, Unrestricted
competition. They also have
reputation of doing good work.
That neither of the lower bidders
will net rich at such prices is fact,
but the price to be paid under the
certified check" plan is exorbitant.
These comparisons serve to illus
trate the quality of friendship for
the people possessed by their servant
who conceived this certified check
plan of competition as applied to
State printing contracts.

ADVERTISING TIL lR TOWNS.
Lakeland News There are two
towns in the State of Florida
whose claims to prosperity made
by their home papers we are in
clined to believe, while skeptical
IN regard to many Others. These
t--o towns, or rather cities, are Mi
9 Il and Live Oak. We believe
cir papers when they claim that
4neir towns are prosperous and the
people are progressive, simply be-
cause the newspapers themselves
bear on their faces the imprint of
the progressive spirit of the bust
ness men of these communities.
The papers TEEN with advertise
ments of local merchants, aid a
glance at these advertisements
show that they are carried by en-
ferprising business men who have
up-to-date stocks and have modern
ideas as to the way to conduct bus
iness. The Miami Metropolis and
the Live Oak Democrat are the
best advertisements these two cities
could have. When a man wants
10 mine certain metal he goes to
some locality where that metal is
known to exist; likewise, when he
wants to do business, he is apt to
go where there is business.
a newspaper man boost and blow
and lie about his town, but it win
be a difficult matter, nevertheless,
70 convincea discriminating reader
that it is published in live town
if It contains a mOager quantity Of
advertising. The local paper re-.
fleets the character of the business
men of a town as in a looking
glass.

the price of refined oil. Some
thing of the sort might have
been expected when it was an
nounced that Mr.. John d. Rrcke-
Teller had bought a wig.-Savan-

We were glad to see the fore
going. Sometime ago, while the
Banner was strenuously defending
Mr.. Rockefeller, the Ocala editor
announced that the Standard Com
pany would shortly reduce the
price of coal oil two cents gallon.
This and other utterances on the
same line caused certain of our es-
teemed contemporaries to insinu-
ate that Editor Harris was a paid
advocate of the great kerosene
monopoly. The Star never be-
lieve this of Mr.. Harris. 1t simply
thought he didn't know what he
was talking about, and the fore
going paragraph shows the correct
ness of the think.-Ocaia Star.
