Atlanta, November 7-Traveling steadily at pace of 72 miles an hour, Joe Horan, driving a Lozier car won the 250-mile speedway grand prize here today and set a new American record for the distance. His time of hours, 26 minutes and 15.10 seconds beats the previous record of 1 hours, 3S min utes. 57 4-5 seconds made by Burman in a Buick at the Indianapolis speed way. August 19, 1909 and comes with in four minutes of equalling the world S record for 300 miles made at Brook lands, England Horan took down S300O of the s5ooO prize offered for the race.
 No. 13, in letters two feet high, was affixed to R. V. Church's Simplex, and the fact that the responsibility lay with the number and not with the car was amply demonstrated by the feats of the other two Simplex cars in taking down large shares of the prize money.

 When the big IS began to swing round the track with the leaders in the first 9 miles several other engines got balky immediately and had to be stopped at the pits and eoaxed into action Ralph Mulford's Lozier sheared pin on its cam rod, the delay put ting 1t beyond the reach of the.

This caused the true. but very mis- leading. report that "Disbrow has gone through the fence,' and there were IS minutes anxiety in learning the harm less manner In which Disbrow did the feat
 Burman, driving a Buick, could not shake off the tire hoodoo. stopping just nine times with tires ripped off. After his two most dan gerous rivals, Harroun and Dawson, had quit the track with engine trou- bIe, Burman began a mad chase after Horan. whose even driving had put him ahead. With Burman in striking dis tance of Horan both stopped on even terms with fiat tires, but Burman's helpers. for the second time during the afternoon, grabbed up the wrong tire, which did not fit, and lost all his hard won gains trying to put it on. HoraD meanwhile drove into a safe lead

ARE YOU A 'TWO-7HIRDER?''
Whatever Your Business Is Learn
it Thoroughly,-Master 1t.

In the printing business, the express
sion "two thirder" is used to describe
one who has only partially mastered the
art /; who can do some things connected
with that calling passable we'll, out who
is not an expert-not adrst class crafts
man.
There are many two-thirders in every
avocation in life. They are content to
do the work which chance or inclination
has decreed for them in an Indifferent
slipshod manner without any ambition
to master their pursuit in all its details
and TO make of themselves full aedged
thorough workmen.
Such persons are two-thirders inmore
than one sense. They get only two
thirds, or less, out of life. Their pecu-
mary rewards are inevitably third or
more, less than their more ambitious
fellows enjoy; but, what is infinitely
more TO be deplored, they miss the men
tai satisfaction that comes with full ac.
complishment.
One may not be able to choose the
work he must do but whatever his
work may be he can brig to itathor-
oughness that will dignity the task and
win respect for the workman. The
most common task may be performed
with a skill and an understanding OF
method that will command admiration;
and the man working will not be
left to such tasks long. The world is
looking for people who can and will
do something -anything-right. Every
day those who are forced to employ as
'sistants are made heartsick by the stu
pidity the indifference, the incompe
tency, the lack of ambition. that makes
and keeps man two-thirder; ard
when their watchtul eyes discover real
three-thrder-a workman without a
crouch, oran apology for ignorance of
any detail of his employment they hail
him as ain oasis in the Saharah of medi-
ocrity.
Young man, for Heayer's sake don't
be a two.thirder! II you would be a
carpenter, don't be content with learn
ing to drive nails, but be capable also
OF using saw. If you are going to be
a printer, don't graduate when you
have learned to set type after fashion.
Be whole man capable OF earning a
whole mans pay, aud, more important
still, alberto feel the thrill Of independ-
ence that comes with the consciousness
of knowing that you know. Lakeland

West P aim B60Oh Held
Celebration OF Fourth
Many Fort Pierce People Enjoyed hide
pendence Day in the Cottage City.

There being no. celebration of the
National Independence Day In Fort
Pierce about hundred of our people
visited West Palm Beach on the Fourth
and assisted 10 the grand celebration
of that town.
West Palm Beach had prepared for
"a large crowd aud arranged program
to keep the visitors interested most Of
the day. During the morning a series
Of races took place, creating considers.
BILE excitement and amusement Fol-
lowing this were/a number of speeches
by prominent residents of West Palm
Beach.
During the afternoon occurred the
most exciting part OF the program
that Of two baseball games. The first
game was called at 1;40, between Fort
Pierce and Miami, and proved hard
fought and interesting contest from
start To finish. Both teams had gone
into the game with determination TO
win and they put up snappy fight.
Miami took the lead in the first inning,
when they made four runs, thus forcing
Fort Pierce TO make an uphill fight
throughout, This lead was held, but ia
the last inning Fort Pierce made
grandstand finish. securing two runs,
and only by stab of luck were they
kept from winning out in sensational
manner. The game ended with the
score Miami 6, Fort Pierce 4. Bate
,ries -McDonough and Cheat-
ham: Fort Pierce-Moore and E7ern-
den.
Immediately following this game the
Miami team, as the winner of the first
game, played the West Palm Beach
club. This was won by the home team
by score of 8 to 8, but was not by any
means as snappy as the first contest
and errors and hits were far more nu-
merous. Only poor base running kept
the score from being much larger.
The day was ended oy grand ball at
night at the Fireman's hail.
The Fort Pierce contingent returned
home that night tired out, but with re-
membranes of good time.

WHY ARE EXPRESS COMPANIES
Allowed When Railroads Could
Easily Handle the TraficP

We have consistently maintained
says the New York Produce News, that
Express companies are useless parasites
in the commercial world and should be
exterminated, Now that congress isto
investigate, and commercial bodies un-
der the supervision OF the New York
Merchants Association are to dig into
Express rates and methods of dong
business. let US hope there is light
ahead. The Express companies do
nothing that cannot be performed by
the railroads. We have repeatedly
said that officers Of the great railroad
systems owned the express companies,
and that they were organized TO tur
ther gouge the public BY high charges
for traffic. Heretofore the express
lobby at Washington has been so great
that no headway could be made there
against them,
The undisputed fact that the rail-
roads make a less charge TO the express
companies to haul car OF perishables
than to individuals or other corpora
tions. is direct violation of the law TO
regulate interstate commerce. ln many
If not majority of instances, the rail-
roads takes a percentage OF the charges
collected as their pay for hauling the
paoduce. If we understand the law, no
road can make such contract without
violating the law. The enormous olV-
idends declared by the express compa'
nies are evidence that their charges
arc too high. We believe a great SER

The State levy last year was seven
