MANY SEE RELIABILITY RUN
Driver strang's Death P.unges Com
rades in Gloom

Thursday morning seemed almost like
circus day in Viroqua, when many com
try people and our Third Regiment bard
and citizens generally turned out to
greet the second annual reliability tour
of the Wisconsin State Automobile as
sociation. The nineteen cars left Mil
waukee Monday morning, making their
first nights stop at Marinette; then to
Wausau, distance of III miles; We'd
nesday night found them at La Crosse,
a days run of 203 miles. Tired, sum
Drowned and dust begrimmed, the ben
zine buggies whizzed into our city from
900 until IL: 90 O'Clock, each car stop
ping fifteen minutes while the occu-
pants distributed badges to the scramb-
ling youngsters, snatch bite to eat,
breathe few gasps of dustless air,
listen to the band, then off to the south
for Lancaster, their stopping point for
the night. GAINESVILLE entertained them
Friday night, and the seventeen cars to
finish checked in at Milwaukee Satur-
day at noon, being on the road five
days and covering nearly 1000 miles.
All kinds of conditions were met with,
and the test was a very severe one.
The cars are now in the hands of the
judges for inspection before decision
is made.
Broken springs, blown-out tires and
other minor accidents are reported
along the course. The colliding of two
Buick cars furnished Viroqua people
some excitement. A ruptured tire and
smashed headlight and fender was the
only damage.
The sad death of Strang was the only
serious accident to mar the tour.
While going at snaiPs pace, having
turned out to avoid a farmers team.
the edge of the roadway crumbled be-
meath the Case car he was driving and
it turned turtle over a five foot en-
bankment. His team mate in his many
speed contests, Joe Jaggersberger, and
the two members of the technical COM
mittee escaped injury by jumping, but
Strang was caught beneath the car and
crushed to death instantly. The acct
dent is an eloquent tribute to the road
making methods employed in south
western Wisconsin, the witnesses pre-
sent unanimously lodging the entire
blame upon faulty construction of the
highway at that point just north of
Blue River. Strang was a man of in
ternatio2al fame, winner of many speed
contest prizes, and it is an odd trick of
fate that this man who has fallen from
aeroplanes, crashed through fences and
telegraph poles and been thrown out of
his car while travelling eighty miles an
hour should meet death in a reliability
tour while running at five miles an
hour

A Debatable Problem

Secretaries Griffin and Briggs of Viola
and Gays Mills fair associations met
here last Saturday with the officers of
our society. The object of their COM
ing together was to determine whether
or not racing would be done away with
at the fairs of these respective asso-
Citations for the present year. 1t is
doubtless we'll understood that the leg
islature changed the law so that in fu.
ture no part of horse race purses will
be met by the state, as in the past,
Because of this it is by many consider
ed Improbable to give much If any,
thing in the way of an elaborate race
program. The matter was discussed
from every angle and meeting finally
adjourned till Thursday of this week,
when it is hoped that all members of
the executive board will be present to
Care responsibility forwhatever action
is taken. 1t is a matter of no small
Importance to our society and will
doubtless be met with sole purpose to
future success, both from a financial
and attendance standpoint. Many be-
lieve that extended base ball and other
amusement programs can safely be
made tc serve the place of racing; while
others fear that such action would be
detrimental to success. And still others
think the society should have a mixed
program of racing and base ball, with
reasonable purses that the society could
afford.

Don't be Afraid Of the Harness

Don't De AFRAID Oh the Harness
Say, young man, want to talk with
you minute. Get up and dust, don't
wait for something to turn up, go at it
and turn it up. Put that harness right
on and pull, no matter if the belly-band
does chafe little or the names don't
fit-pull you'll soon get hardened to it.,
and collar spot here and there don't
hurt any. Don't try to begin where
the other man leaves off, If you do
you'll quit where he began. Get into
the deal yourself, do as the old man
did If you can { afford a thing don't
buy il until you can; the old gentleman
did that way and that's how he got a
credit. That credit, young fellow, is
worth more than the dollars ou will
ever earn No matter about money,
get a credit and maintain tit is the
best asset anyone had. Pull all the
time, don't be stingy but sbe prudent;
don't get pessimistic shut your suspic-
ious eye. If neighbor goes wrong,
don't doubt the integrity OF the neigh
Dor on the other corner. Pessimism is
a mountain and darkens the view. Pull
and keep your faith bright in human
ity; the world is just what we make it
and opportunity is on all sides just
awaiting the man who pulls steadily all

ROASTING is sAp.

Boosting and clustering are as
Objectionable among nations as
among individuals. and the pub
lie men of great nation owe it
to their sense of national self re-
spect to speak courteously of
foreign powers. Just as brave
and self respecting man treats
all around him courteously. But
though to boast Is bad and
causelessly to insult sanother
worse, yet worse than all is it to
be guilty Of boasting, even with
out insult. and when called to
the proof to be unable to make
such Boosting good There is
homely old adage which runs:
Speak softly and carry a big
stick. You will go far" If the
American nation will speak soft
ly and yet build and keep at a
pitch of the highest training a
thoroughly efficient navy the
