MAR SPEEDWAY RACE
Two Charges Made TO Judges
to Be Investigated.
ROUGH DRIVING; BAD START
Everett Taylor Accused John +.
JaVins of Deliberately Striking
Whip-Rcx Leader Left in One
Heat-Summary Of the Events.

The matinee Of yesterday. the second
of the series for 19C6-l9o7 was interesting,
though il was the most unsatisfactory
one yet held on the Potomac Speedway.
Two unusual incidents marked the
brush for PAGERS Of the 21S class The
first and most sensational one was the
charge made by Everett Taylor, Owner
and driver Of Everett T., that John f.
Javins, owner and driver Of Robin Hood
had deliberately struck Everett T., in the
face with mis- whip when Everett T. chal-
lenged Robin Hood in the home stretch.
The charge Of Mr.. Taylor was made 20
the judges within the learing-Of at least
one-half Of the audience present. MIR
Taylor is secretary of the Road Drivers
and Riders Association Of the District Of
Columbia. Mr.. Javins is president of the
Brightwood Driving Club.
The second incident was charge lodged
by John r. Gheen. driver Of Charles Nc
Dermott's speedy green PAGER. Rex Lead
er, that all the horses in the race except
ing his, had gone away In the second
heat without the word go" from the
starter and that he had thus been left
behind. The judges, after pondering over
the charges Of Mr.. Taylor and Mr. Gneen,
gave the heat and the race to Robin
Hood
Another interesting occurrence, and the
only one OF its kind witnessed on the
Speedway since racing began there was
dead heat between Fair Nancy and Rex
Leader. the only starters in the Dds pace
or tTOt
About 800 people witnessed the after
Moons sport, hundreds OF others being
kept away by the belief that the rain of
Sunday night and Monday would put the
course in a condition that would forbid
racing. Contrary 20 this idea. the track

MucarOni Wheat.

Grant Robinson of st. Paul, Mimi,
has purchased 10000 acres of land IN
Preside county, Texas, which he Will
devote to the culture of macaroni
wheat on scale the largest ever at
tempted in the world. Extensive prep
arations are now going forward for
the consummation of the plans of the
capitalist. Seed for planting will be
brought to this country from the Vol
ga region of Russia.
The field will be cultivated on the
very latest and most improved method
Of wheat farming. Monster stake
plows will be utilized in breaking up
the land in fact, all of the latest types
of farming machinery will be used on
the plantation.
Mr., Robinson proposes to have the
largest and best managed wheat farm
in the world. He will build system
of tenant houses and supply the wants
of his laboring men from commissary.
A school will be built for the children
of the laboring men. as well as church

Cold Storage for Farmers.

Putting first-class apples in cold stor-
age for sale in late winter or early
spring, is usually very profitable, says
Farming Other fruit and farm pro-
ducts may also be stored to advantage.
The expense of a cold storage plant
precludes It's use by most fruit grow
ers. Cooperation among farmers will
sometimes be possible along this line.
Oranges and other farmers organiza-
tons may do educat ional and practical
work also. But available for every
farmer are the refrigerator plants now
found in almost every city. Rooms or
space may be rented as one needs. Gen
orally It is best TO store In the city
where 1t is intended to sell, that the
produce may be on the ground In case
of an advantageous market. Many a
grower of fine fruit would be dollars
ahead by availing himself of cold stor-
age facilities.

Largest Tomato Plants.

The largest tomato plants in the world
are found in California. One grower
has three plants which have reached n
length of thirty feet.
In three months from the time the
seeds were planted they had climbed to
the top of twenty-foot trcllis. When
they reached this remarkable height they
grew backward until they attained II
length of thirty feet.
They have no special care or cultiva-
ton and have had no protection from the
weather; yet in spite of every disad-
vantage they Kept on growing and fruit
ing in the most astonishing fashion.
The trunks are one and half inches
in diameter. the foliage thick and luXur-

Early spinach IS seeded In the fall.
The ground should be plowed and made
fine, plenty of well-rotted manure ap-
piled, aud the seed sown in rows about
16 inches apart, which should be done
with a seed drill having small roller
to cover and press the earth on the
seeds, the depth Of planting the seeds
being about half an inch. The seed
should be sown before cold weather
sets in. When the plants are up let
them grow until the ground is frozen,
and then cover with straw, which
should be removed early In the spring.
Spinach Is very hardy plant and Is
seldom injured by cold.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great q change Q
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from Il
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
Of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesSes which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of it's freshness and the form of its
fairness.

When physician tells a woman, SUI
ferlng from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary il, of course,
frightcns her
The very thought Of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror TO
her heart. As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that She
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death llucll had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations,
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach Il stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such eases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia +, PiuShau $
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must bc per
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.

statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia T.. Pink

escaped serious operations.

WANT TO BE SMART.
Alaska Indians Call for Schools to Make
Them Like White Men,

The craving of the Alaskan Indians
for education is almost pitiable, says
The Southern Workman. Ask them
what they need and the answer is the
same:
schools for the children so that they
may become smart like the white man."
They are very alfectionate people to
their children; every benefit is for the
child. The older people fully realize the
fact that they represent the past. They
have always been producers, and their
faith in themselves is half of the strug-
gle that lies before them. To this end
they should be pi divided with day schools
in all of the villages of Il hundred or
more adults.
In some sections where the families
are distributed over a large area of
country and in the case of the children
of parents unable to provide for their
support, and again where orphans may
be enslaved by distant relatives, board
ing schools or homes are equally neces-
Sary.

Save Falling Leaves.

When the leaves begin to fail, do not
burn them. Save all of them. They
make the humus that Jy and by be-
comes soil, and IS of immense value In
all its stages of change. The most IT.
rational work ever done by a human
being IS to take what nature has spent
the whole summer In creating for him.
and throw it back into its elemental
conditions. These leaves are natures
contribution, and her very best con
tribution to mans wealth. They are
naturally spread all over the lawns
each year, as winter protection; and
after they have accomplished that mis-
sion they are worked over into n com
post of humus. AS & rule, do not rake
them too completely eff the lawns. The
leaves you do take instead OF burning
use for banking up buildings, for that
will save coal; to cover or bank around
plants; for stable bedding; or on the
floors Of henhouses and IN rooms
where the hens may scratch during the
winter.

No Grain in the Orchard.

There are many ways Of caring for
an orchard. We work our land In corn
vate the trees and keep the land clean.
This is to prevent us being troubled by
rabbits. Where there are no trees or
grass we can put the richness back into
the soil with clover. If the land Is
rich this clover may be cut for hay, II
poor, 1t should be left and turned un.

sible. Never plant any Of the small
grains in the orchard. Growth is the
most necessary item for the young
trees.-T. II. Todd, Missouri.
