Racing around the Benning track yes
terday afternoon at forty-five miles an
hour. Packard 80" with A. S. Lut-
trell, a local automobile dealer. at the
wheel, tried to keep pace with Claude
GFahame-W White in his Farnam biplane.
They circled the mile track four times,
and the blplane won by a small margin.
The race was one Of the most exciting
events of hessxhibition. and during the
flight kept the spectators keyed mp to
high pitch. The automobile gained on
the track when they struck a straight
stretch. but in making the turns the aero
plane easily outdistanced the auto.
Owing 10 the accidents he had the day
before. Mr., Grahame-White did not at
tempt any difficult feats. although at one
time he scared nearly 1000 feet above the
beads OF the spectators.
Clever Landings Cheered.
None OF the flights exceeded ten min
utes IN duration, but the way in which
he made his landings always brought
a cheer from the crowd, The most spec
tacular landing was when no came down
in front OF the grandstand. the fences On
each side OF his machine being scarcely
four feet from the tips of the planes.
After a rest OF about fifteen minutes he
assembled again from the track, and, after
flying around for seven minutes, made a
landing in the same place that he started
from. demonstrating that he could accu-
rately gauge distance from the air
In order that his men would not have

said that If the flap Of the tent had been
open he would have put the machine in
place. so that all the helpers would have
had TO do before they went home would
be put the flap of the tent down.
Harmon Flies Eight Minutes.
Mr. Harmon the amateur, made a sue
cessful eight-minute flight around the
grounds, and glided to the ground from
a height of nearly 200 feet, amid the
plaudits OF the crowd.

The 20 cows present an unusually

MAKE A REPUTATION FOR
QUALITY.

II they could only be made to
realize it, the farmer and his wife
would find it every bit as much to
their advantage to attain a reputa-
ton for furnishing the best eggs and
chickens as well as the best milk
and butter.
There is always room at the
top" you know, and that is certain
ly true with regard to poultry pro-
ducts OF superior quality. The farm
that has a reputation for furnishing
superior milk and butter experiences
no difficulty in disposing of their
product, usually at premium above
the ordinary market prices. The
same is equally true of first-class
poultry and eggs, because it is worth
something to a customer to know to
an absolute certainty that his eggs
are going to be fresh-laid and that
he need not procure an axe with
which to carve the chicken that he
has bought.
In view of the enormous profits of
the men who go about over the
country buying up chickens and eggs
at most seasons of the year, the
farmer, unless his location is very
remote, can usually dispose of his
poultry products to the best ad-
vantage by selling direct to private
customers in nearby town. These
customers can readily be obtained by

HIS arrangement was not the hes,

Frank and his wife.
Mr.. Cochrane has farmed here all

should feel proud of his success in

of being successful farmer, he is
the father of four useful and enter

one the Mecklenburg County Super
intendent Of Education.
When four sons and two daugh-
tiers had left the old home, each
one being fully equipped to take up
their individual life-work, there was
one son left to care for the aged par
ents and to demonstrate that he is
a son of his father. This is Frank,

care must be taken that in flying
from their hives the bees do not
come in contact with people in
neighboring lots or with those pass-

by putting the hives In elevated DO

tall, close fences.
