SIRANG IHE BUIGN
WONII0OMILER RACE
Led the Field Over New Speedway
In i.32:48 $40.
WITNESSED BY 10000 PEOPLE
The Ten.MIle Record Was Again Re-
duced When zengeI Covered
the Distance In Chad.
wick In e.23 2-10.

indianapolis, Aug. 21.-Strang and
Zengel shared the honors Of the second
day Of the automobile racing meet on
the new indianapolis speedway. The
former won the fastest 100-mile race
ever held in this country. The latter
established new ten-mile record. MOI
q single accident Of serious nature
marred the days racing and this was
a welcome relief after the tragedies
Of the previous day. The only acci'
dent reported was a bruised arm sus'
tanned by Barney oldheld in the ten
mile free for all race, in which zengel
made his new record.
A crowd Of about $4,000 spectators
crowded the two big stands and hun
dreds Of automobiles filed every inch
Of the parking spaces. The feature
Of the day was the easy victory OF
Strang, who drove Buick in the 100
mile race, the star event of the day.
Strang led all the way from the start
and won by about ten miles In the
exceptional time Of 1:32:48 bio. AT
first 1t was thought that this was a
new 100-mile record for this country,
but the ofiicials announced that they
had decided to allow the mark OF
1928 9-10, made by Chevrolet in the
first 1OO-miles of the 25O-mile race
yesterday stand, despite the fact that
Chevrolet did not finish the race
strang, however, beat Chervelot's rec
ords for nearly all the distances be-
tween 20 and 100 miles. Strang's time
was more than II minutes better than
the 1OO-mile track record made by
Burman at Columbus, o., on July 8, OF
TINS year. Burman's record was made
on q 1-mile track.
strang never stopped once during
the 100 miles, his car working like a
carefully adjusted piece Of delicate
mechanism. His pace was uniform
throughout and the speedy car con-
tinued to reel OF lap after and mile
after mile with remarkable uniformity.
He increased his lead all the way and
never once was he forced to take q
rivals dust.
Before Strang started on his wonder
full race the honors had gone to Zen
eel, who established new ten-mile
record in his Chadwick. This was the
second time in the meet that this rec
ord had been broken. Chevrolet re-
duced Oldfeld's old mark Of 9:12 80
when he won ten-mile race in
1856 4-1O, and Zengel slashed this to
1928 $40 in the ten-mile free for all.

Of the Missouri valley, viii result in
high priced eggs next winter because
1t reduces the number Of eggs stored

AGRICULTURAL BUREAU RECORD
Secretary James Wilson Recalls Many
improvements That Have 90
Cured During He Term
Of ONCE.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-During the
laas II years, the period covering the
administration OF Secretary Of Agricui-
tnyO James Wilson, the Agricultural
noIanee Of trade In the United States
Increased from . yearly average Of
A0SA0OO,00O to S411, 900, 900. or 1871 per
cent. according to the departments
year book Just made public.
Fhis wonderful development n IN
keeping with the progress that has
been made along all lines Of agricultuF-
a activity. At the same time, 1t Is
stated, many conditions affecting tho
lives Of the farmers Of the country
have advanced in even greater ratio
until many Of the undesirable features
Of farm life have been eliminated.
$50 increasingly disposed has the
public been to ask and receive the aid
of the department, and so large have
been the new fields Of work assigned
to II by congress-" says Mr.. Wilson, in
4 resume Of his work, that the num-
Der OF employees has increased enor-
mously. On July /, 1897, 2,444 persons
were employed, and II years later, in
1908, the number was 1920, or over
four times as many"
Among the notable increases were In
the bureau OF animal industry, from
TIT to 1852 employees; In the forest
service from IA TO 1888, In the bureau
Of chemistry from 20 to 425, and the
bureau Of plant industry from 1877 to
976. Most OF the additional workers
in these bureaus are employed outside
q Washington, there being 2,4S8 with
in and 1882 outside Of this city.
Although there has been decreas-
ing production per acre Of what was
only recently virgin soil, there was an.
increased production per acre Of the
entire country. The yield per acre Of
cotton during the ten years ending
with 1906 was from 8 mean of 172
pounds per acre during the preceding
ten years to a mean Of 1911 pounds or
II per cent increase. Other crops
have kept pace with cotton. Within
ten years the production Of corn per
acre in Ohio increased IT'S per cent,
and in Virginia 1873 per cent. Oats
increased 179 per cent In Indiana.
Wheat increased 1862 per cent in New
York and 45.9 per cent In Nebraska.
Similar advancement was made In the
yield per acre Of other products. In
some degree this upward movement be-
gan 20 years ago, but in all lines 1t
has been marked during the last de-
cade.
"The farmer" says the secretary, "in
results Of information. intelligence and
industry, has thrived nightly. The
progress that has been made is in the
direction leading to popular and ma
tlonal welfare, to the sustenance Of
any future population, as well as to a
large efficiency Of the farmer In mat
ters Of wealth production and saving,
and In establishing himself and his
family in more pleasant ways Of liv-
ing"

City, for holding meetings. The
charges against them are disorderly

of the town are carrying concealed
weapons. Lodges of clandestine Ma
sons, who recognize general Reyes az
chief, are preparing demonstration
at Alameda. Trouble is feared"
Special dispatches from various
parts of Northern Mexico to different
publications here all agree that the
situation throughout that region is one
Of much political unrest. Gen. Trevino,
the newly appointed commander of the
third military zone, is acting with Wig
or and decision and during the past
two days troops have been moved
quietly and swiftly to places where
they will be most needed in case OF
serious disturbances.

well in hand
The trouble centers about the per-

ernor of the state of Nuevo Leon and
former minister of war.
One Of the most dangerous clements
of the situation is said to be the al
legged called meeting Of all the clandes-

Making Good.

There is no way OF making lusfene

Pierce's medicines we'll exemplify this.
and their friends, after more than two
decades OF popularity, are numbered by
the hundreds OF thousands. They have
..made good" and they have not made
~drunkards.
A good, honest, square-deal medicine Of
known composition is DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
mense sale, while most of the prepara-
tions that have come into prominence in
the earlier period of its popularity have
~egone by the board y and are never more
heard of. There must be some reason for
this longtime popularity and hat is to
be found in its superior me-!ts When
once given a fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence 1t has survived and grown In pop
ular favor, while scores OF less meritorious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for a brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For a torpid liver with its attendant
Indigestion, dyspepsia. headache, per-
haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite,
with distress after eating,
and debility. nothing is so good as DIR.

It's ingredients printed on bOttle-wrapper
no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug,
therefore don't accept q substitute that

what you call for.
Don't buy DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton expecting it to prove a ccure-all." It
is only advised for woman's special all
ments. 1t makes weak women strong and
sick women we'll. Less advertised than
some preparations sold for like purposes,
It's sterling curative virtues still maintain
its position in the front ranks, where 1t

NEWS AT NATIONS
CAPITAL


@
Rep. Burton, of Ohio, goes to the Sen
ate. Rep. Alexander is said to have a
decided liking for the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee, a body having IN
charge the Distribution of one of the
Congressional ''pork barrels.' This,
of course, Is an important considera-
ton, and one likely to swerve the av-
erage lawmaker whose constituency
depended upon frequent appropriations
for the improvement of some river or
harbor. This is by no means an unim
portant consideration to Mr.. Alexan-
der, for he represents in Congress that
bustling little port-community, Buffalo.
But Mr.. Alexander, being a lawyer
and a good one, too, has also a fancy
for having a finger IN Legislation re-
quiring more than a passing knowledge
of intricate Blackstone. To him
therefore, the headship Of the Judi
ciary Committee would seem a tempt
ing plum.
Next in line for the Rivers and Har-
bors Craftsmanship after Mr.. Alexan-
der is Representative George P. Law
renee, of Massachusetts, another of
Speaker Cannon's "favorite sons
Now Mr.. Lawrence has a fancy for
this committee, on which he has serv-
ed creditably through several success
sive Congresses, and the Speaker has
not hesitated to encourage him in it,
particularly so since Rep. Burton
election to the Senate started discus
sion as to these committee changes.
The fact that Mr.. Lawrence halls
from the little inland town of North
Adams in the Berkshires of Massacha-
sets. instead of from some port city
from which demands on the "pork
barrel' would lead to hints of favor
itism, seems to clinch a hold on this
Job. He has been an earnest student
of rivers and harbors matters and in
this way has won the high regard of
Chairman Burton, who draws on the
Bay State man at all times for infor-
nation concerning the needs of the
waterways.
Mr.. Lawrence opposes a bill at this
session, but wholly because he thinks
Congress is not sufficiently wei in
formed to pass a measure providing
for the expenditure Of from $4,000,
600 to 800, 000, 600. His plan is to
90 slow until all the information
concerning the projects now pending
notably the Inland Waterways and the
Lake to Gulf projects, ia in the hands
of Congress.
