Ormond, Fla, March S.-Slow time and a chapter of accidents marked the two events run off on Ormond beach here to- day, opending the sixth annual tourna- ment, under the auspices of the Automo- bile Club of America.
 Cedrino, driving a 60-horsepower Ital- ian car; Blakely, driving a 13O-horse- power American car and Shefts, with an American car of 120-horsepower, started. The car driven by Shefts went out of the running before a quarter of a mile had been covered. and half an hour later took up the chase again The other American car went out at the ten mile turn, and Cedrino finished the race alone. His time was one hour, 50 minutes and 20 seconds, much slower than the record, which is one hour, b minutes and 40 seconds. Cedrno ran 60 miles on three tires and a rim. and of his accredited time a total of approximately 9 minutes was spent in repairs.

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
 WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate Agents" Go After Men with Land for Sale and
 Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating farmers from their money has been worked with much success in South Dakota. An oily grafter calls on a farmer and makes bid for his land. The figures are absurdly low at first, but by degrees are raised as high as $60 an acre, and the farmer consents Then the visitor explains that he is only an agent, but that he can sell the land at the price named if the owner will agree to pay for advertising at the rate of fifty cents an acre. The agent" promises orally that the ad- vertising money will not be payable until the land is sold, but this stipula- tion is not contained in a contract that the farmer signs.
 In few days he receives a copy of an ad and not over-courteous demand for money. It is said that twenty two agriculturists were caught with this bait in Brown County and that one of them gave up $320 Others de- clare hotly that they will not pay but they will make a fight in the courts.

CUTICURA CURED FOUR
Southern Woman Suffered with Itch. ing, Burning Rash-Three Little
 Babies Had Skin Troubles.

My baby had running sore on his neck and nothing that I did for it took effect until I used Cuticura. My face was nearly full of letter or some sim liar skin disease. It would itch and burn so that I could hardly stand it. Two cakes of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment cured me. Two years after it broke out on my hands and wrist. Sometimes I would go nearly crazy for it itched so badly. 1 went back to> my old standby, that had never failed me-one set of Cuti- cura Remedies did the work. One set also cured my uncle's baby whose head was cake of sores, and another baby who was in the same fix. Mrs. Lillie Wilcher. ITO Eleventh St., Chat tanooga, Tenn, Feb. 16, 1907."
