PALM BEACH
MOTOR RACES
New World Record Made For
One Mile
"DIXIE" WAS FAVORITE
Many Indian River Boats Entered 80 En-.
durance Race From Miami TO DaytOna
Flag to Flag Race Begins Today.

The motor boat regatta at Palm
Beach has been as much of a pleasant
surprise as the automobile meet at
Daytona was disappointment. The
races were participated in not only by
East Coast enthusiasts but by motor
boatmen from all parts of the United
States as well.
Fine weather favored the competitors
and spectators, and with the exception
of collision between the Katherine
and the Bruiser, the regatta went off
without hitch.
The racing favorite was the Dixie, a
long, lean l25 horsepower craft owned
by Commodore E. j. Schroeder, of the
Motor Boat Club of America, which
though heavily handicapped, succeeded
In winning number of events and
smashing the worlds record for one
mile, her time bring 2 minutes and
II seconds.
The boats designed and built by Geo.
Gingras, of Rockledge, made very
creditable showing. Mr.. Gingras, it
will be remembered, captured several
prizes at the regatta last year with
his phenomenal "23." Among the
other craft that did good average work
at the races were the Gray Wolf,
owned by Lieut.. Wlloughby, of Sew
all's Point; Errand Boy, Capt. Geo. f.
Andrews, of Tibbals; and Baby Bullet,
Geo. F. Paddison, of Eau Gallie.
1t is very gratifying to note that our
people are taking such interest in these
events. 1t requires considerable nerve
to enter our river boats with the high
power freaks shipped down from the
north. 1t hasn't been long since the
first real auto-boat was curiosity on
Indian River. and now that they are
becoming popular and are growing
longer and narrower and speedier,
we may soon be able to meet all
corners.
The regatta now in progress at
Miami is attracting considerable atten-
ton, and will conclude with the great
Flag to Flag" race from Miami to
Nassau, N. p, Bahama Islands, which
commences tonight at midnight, prob
ably the most unique and interesting
contest ever held among power boats.
The sight of those little 80 milers
Drawing the pillows of old Atlantic will
be one we'll worth going far to see.
The concluding event of the season
will be the endurance race from Miami
20 Daytona. AS the prize will not be
% the swift alone, but to the man who
Keeps everlastingly at it, there will
be large number of entries.

Don't forget that the farmer is one man and the planter is an entirely off ferent sort of a fellow. The farmer works on the farm and is farmer, but the planter is one who has farm worked, just the same as a manufac. turer has factory run by a bunch of operatives. One is business investment, the same as a stock com- pany or stock of goods bought for sale. The real farmer is the man who blows the soil and depends upon the farm for his living. It is for the farmer that the Farmers Union was organized, and in it's purely primal condition, it fits his conditions. Keep out all the frills and furbelows of the farmer who does not really farm, and the organization will be one of the largest benefit to the farmer; ut fill it with the plans of the specula- tive farmer, and the real farmer will lose out. The interests of the two classes do not run parallel.

WORDS OF CHEER.

From all quarters comes the cheer. ing news that the great Farmers Un. ion is moving onward with rapid progress, even the great Hearst jour. nals of Chicago, New York and San Francisco, have awakened to the i'm. portance of the Farmers Unon and are devoting considerable space to write-ups of the various State organi. cations and the effective work being done by each. Thus it will be seen that by strict adherence to the prin- ciples upon which the Union is found ed and by a due observance of the business ability of the national and State officials, we have won our way into the hearts and minds of even the great business centers of the coun- try. Our success is assured by no the onward progress and the reputa- ble mention by the great leading jour nals, of the order and it's work. De- voted exclusively to business as is the aim and purpose of the Union, every auxiliary of business enterprise in America must recognize force and ef- fective business ability of the farmer as a class. It has been frequently said in years past and gone that you could not organize the Farmers effec- lively for they would not stick to- gether This, vas in the main true, considered from a political view but we are today only in our infancy of the first practical test of business organization of the farmers and we feel confident that the business pow CT and accomplishments manifested by the organization today are suffi. ciently strong to dispell from the minds of any 'doubting Thomas" this old idea that the farmer won't stick Arkansas Union Tribune.

A trip across the country few days since revealed at least ninety per cent of the implements and vehi- cles of the farmers out in the hot sun, which had just been preceded by a rain. That same farmer who wilfully destroys his tools and implements would be arrested if he took an axe and chopped them up, but the destruc- tion by weather, which is no less a crime, goes on all over the country, and only the farmer and his family ever suffer for it. What? Not on your life. When anything is destroy ed that was of use or that would have been of use, the whole nation and the whole world is that much poorer. No one has right to destroy the wealth of the world. One man $ possessions is only a temporary loan, under earth ly conditions, and his use is rightfully limited to the best use of the things of which he is capable.

Don't forget that the Farmers Ur- ion has passed the period of organi- zation and uncertainty, and stands to- day a recognized commercial organi- zation, differing from all other organi- zations in that it is not the tie between the onsumer and the manufacturer but is the producer, aligned with the consumer, eliminating the parasitical go-between, whose living came from his position, and not from any service he ever did.

Don't fall out with your union simply because the union has not made capitalists of all it's members The union is more largely interested in the getting of the right sort of thinking and the right sort of living for it's members that it is in the ac- emulation of mere dollars. Then there has always been some men who didn't seem to get along" under any circumstances. and some of these are in the union, but they are in the way of improvement.

Watch out for the seductive intlu- ence of a promising crop. The crop promise is one of the smoothest on earth. The promises are not always kept, however, and when one has bought goods on the promise of full crop, and finds himself with goods at a high price and poor crop to pay for them, he is apt to get into the "farmin' don't pay" class. Beware of the lon the crop prospect" buying.

Beware of the big cotton crop. At any given price the world will have use for only so much cotton, and ev- cry bale produced beyond that amount will be a bear on the market Cotton held at a reasonble price will always bring that price up to the amount that is demanded. but beyond the amount of the demand, it cannot sell for more than a bargain price.

What has become Of the oldt-ime bee raiser? Isn't the honey as gooi as it used to be? When honey sold for six or seven cents the whole coun' try was full of bee-keepers. Honey is now selling in the open markets at from ten to fifteen cents, and the sup ply of pure honey is not equal to half the demand. Plant few hives of bees.

There is no use in organizing a un' ion if you are not dead in earnest about the value of organizing and the good that can come to the organiza- tion from the working together of you and your neighbers and me and my neighbors. Get yourself up to the sticking point before you start, and then keep the pot aboillng all the time.

Now is the time to see to it that you have plenty of peas in sight for the summer planting. Nothing else on earth yields so large a return for the land and labor as a crop of peas There isn't a thing on the farm that will not turn down almost anything else for a feed of peas. and the nutri ment is probably the richest of all hay feeds.

Get out your split log drag, and get to using it every time you get good rain. The time to use it is while the ground is yet sloppy and muddy. The drag will smooth out rough road even if it is dry, but it needs to be sloppy to do the best work. Then the dirt can be worked into a sort of a mortar so that it will be largely inn pervious to water the next time it rains. Do you get the main idea The best time to use the drag is when it Is too wet to do anything else.

Gloves are attached to the sleeve in

Omber taffeta or liberty is artistical-
" used for the foundation Of sheer

example, is made over a colored SILK

Women with good figures still like
the corselet skirt. A smart suit recent

embroidered and applied with stitched

from anthracite and coHing Goals and
ordinary bituminous coal to lignities

senseiess smart Women.

Among the most aggravating things
to deal with in life is the talented or
smart woman who has very little com
mon sense.
There is the young girl, in dire need
Of money, but with clever talent for
making sketches that would make her
independent. A friend, after Infinite
trouble, gets her an order from lead
ing caterer for dinner cards, that
might have been the beginning Of an
artistic career and would have kept the
wolf from the door at the start, but
the young woman turns up her nose
1T the very suggestion.
There Is the little dressmaker, with
the fingers Of an artist, struggling
along, unknown and unpatronized. A
good samaritan of a woman induces a
society friend whose work alone mems
fortune, to try her, but the sense
less dressmaker does not keep her first
Engagement and loses her opportunity.
There is the needy woman for whom
dozens Of people have moved heaven
and earth to get her a position, and
when she took it put on such top lofty
! airs and discoursed 80 continually on
her past splendors and patronized her
employers so until she made herself
unendurable and lost her place.
Everybody has had experiences OF
like character and knows that the most
impossible and hopeless and discourage
ing and heart-breaking thing in the
| world is to attempt to try to help these
smart women without sense. If you
are worrying along with any of these
types of senseless smart women drop
them like hotcakes, for you can never
hope to see any improvement in them,
