yet had a national tour. 1t is probable
that Nashville, Memphis Little Rock,
and Dallas, Tex, will be visited in the
downward travel. and then Oklahoma
City, Topeka, ST. Joseph, and Des
Moines in going northward. At the
Iowa state capitol the tourists will
take turn to the east, winding up at
Chicago. The real details of the course
have not been mapped out, and will
not be definitely decided until it is time
to send out the pathfinder
On account of the heat in the section
through which the contest will be run,
1t has been decided to hold the event
earlier than heretofore, and Wednes-
day. June 10, has been definitely de-
cided upon as the date for the start.
Chicago will be reached on June 80,
thereby keeping the entire duration of
the tour, including the preliminary ana
the aftermath, to within three weeks.
1t was considered that the 1909 tour.
which occupied four weeks. was too
long, and that it broke into the routine
of factory work to an extent that was
undesirable. Because of the early
start, it is likely that the pathfinder
will commence its 1aborious task dur
ing the latter part of April. and this
would be made even earlier if there
was any assurance of fairly good road
conditions.

WITHDRAW CHEAP RATES
Railroads Cut on Low Fare Tickets
to Minneapolis.

Chicago, March 5.-Fears of the
western railroads that the controversy
over second class party fares from
Chicago to ST. Paul and Minneapolis
would spread to the proportions of q
rate war after seeing the principal
cities of the west were all allayed
yesterday by the announcement that a
settlement had been agreed upon.
The low rates made by the Zoo line
and met by the Chicago Great Western
and the Illinois Central will be with
drawn after having been in effect
thirty days from the date of the tariffs
filed with the commission, which is
March %. This means the abolition
of second class party fares in the ter
ritory west of Chicago which long have
been matter of dispute.
The objection to these rates is that
they can be taken advantage of easily
by scalpers to bunch passengers on
one ticket al less than the regular
lily for gangs of laborers travelling to-
gether.

MANY MULES SOLD.
Big Demand Indicates Large Yield of
Cotton.

New York, March 5-Every year
" hen cotton prospects loom large in the
York brokers watch the humble mule
with a watchful eye. Many mules sold
in the markets of St. Louis, Kansas
City and other centers. are held to
mean many acres of cotton, the mule
being the unit of cultivation.
Figures received in the brokers' Off
Ces since March l. show heavy horse
@nd mule shipments. Indicating that the
southern planters are seeking the
sihews of the cotton fields. Figures
for four months show an increase of
nearly is per cent over the same period
a year ago, and this means, according
to the wiseacres. that the cotton acre
age in the south has correspondingly
increased.

PRIZES A $40 NOTE.
President of Chicago Nationals Pre-
scented With Peculiar Souvenir.

Chicago. March 5.-Presidenl c. w.
Murphy of the Chicago Nationals re-
ceived a souvenir Yesterday which he
prizes highly. 1t came in the form Of
a $40 note which bears the signatures
of Frank L. Chance and Charles w.
Murphy. The bill bears the stamp of
national bank at Farmer City. Ill.
The signatures of Chance and Murphy
occupy the place where the signatures
of the banks officials should have been
placed. The note is one of the Nc
Kinley series, portrait of the former
president appearing on one side.
Who placed the signatures on the
note is a mystery, but neither one re-
sembles the script of the baseball men.
Neither is it known how long the bill
has been in circulation, but the issue
has been out for several years. 1t was
taken up at a local bank and appar-
emily is genuine except as to the sigma
lures.

1t was always the thing-everybody
did ito. make a light and felicitous
remark on the way into the Convention
nall motor show while passing through
the lines Of waiting cars on the streets
around the nall. The remark always
was something like this:
Doesn't it look as if part of the
show had broken loose and wandered
out here?'
Among the four blocks of cars out
side manv are a regular part of the
show, but no idea of the wonderful ma
chimes to be seen in the hall can be
obtained on the street. 1t isn't only the
I dish that is different. There are as
many types of cars inside as there are
wheels outside. And if you're not too
bashful about showing how little you

line with the men who talk about car

Until recently there has been consid-
cradle speculation as to athe probable
course which the Glidden tour of this
year will take for it's 1910 route Gin
cinnati and Indianapolis have been the
two cities considered for the starting
point, and it is barely possible that this
CITY may secure the honor. The only
difficulty would be in the fact that the
contest board of the A. A. A. has prac-
tically given its word to Cincinnati,
that the three weeks trip will start
from that city. The route selected viii

MANY people are unaware of the
great strides the electric motor car has
made during the past few years" said
F T.. White, general manager of the
Baker Vehicle Co, in a recent inter
view People do not know how far. or
how fast, good electric will really go.
They know that the electric is cleaner.
more convenient. cheaper to maintain
and so easy to drive that a child can
operate it, but they are apt 70 think il
is necessary to sacrifice all this in order
to get greater speed and mileage in
gasoline driven car.
LAS a matter of actual experience,
however" said Mr.. White, "the electric
does meet every need of the average
motorist. 1t does everything that the
average gas driven car is called 1pon
to do. The automobile run in ninety
nine cases out of a hundred is well
within the capacity of the electric.
THE mileage capacity of the electric
now varies from so to 100 miles on a
single battery charge, and with care
full handling they will go much farther.
One hundred miles may not seem a big
at first sight. but when it is
that it means nearly
seven hours of continuous going at the
rate of fifteen miles an hour, 1t will be
seen that the electric is not as depend
ent upon current supply as is gener-
ally assumed.
