DROPS GRAND PRIZE RACE
Savannah Auto Club Makes Long
Awaited Announcement.

Word was received in this city late last
night that the Savannah Automobile Club,
at its annual meeting, held yesterday, had
decided that it would not take the initia-
tive in staging either the Grand Prize or
the Vanderbilt Cup race over the course in
Chatham County this fall.
The action Of the Southern organization
is in keeping with the semi-oficial an
nouncement made Immediately after the
speed carnival last November. At that
time Harvey Granger, the president Of the
Savannah Automobile Club. said that 1t
was improbable that any future effort
would be made TO promote either or both
OF the classic road contests because Of the
general upsetting Of business conditions in
the city for two or three weeks prior to
the races, and the fact that the active pro-
motion OF the contests had been on the
shoulders Of a few men who felt that they
had done enough TO help Savannah. as far
as 1t could be helped through the holding
Of automobile road races.
The decision does not mean, Of course,
that the race will net be promoted at
Savannah, as pressure Is likely to be
brought by the citizens Of that city to in
duce the promotion Of further contests Of
the kind. To judge from the fact that the
people Of Savannah have always made race
days the occasions of public holidays it is
unlikely that they will care to have the
Grand Prize abandoned or taken TO any
other city.
Even if Savannah is not the scene Of the
classic contest this fall it is probable that
the Grand Prize race will be revived in
some part Of the country. One application,
at least, has been made by another city.
and II IS generally believed that half a
dozen other points will bid for it if it is
taken away from Savannah. On the three
occasions that the race has been run there
has always been a balance on the right
side Of the ledger above all expenses,
ranging from 81 600 TO HSO00

Worshipful Senior Grand Deacon
George L. Lusk addressed the gather
ing on the subject, "A Message from
Grand Lodge" His speech was short
but his message was full of enthu-
siasm. Mr. I.usk said in part: This
occasion would not be complete with
out an address from the chief eXecu-
tive of the state. We are all hon
ored and pleased by Governor Os-
born's presence. Now the governor
is a great friend of mine. So when
he found out late in the day that he
would not be needed at the firing
, line at Lansing he came here as
quickly as possible and upon arriv-
ing came directly to me. He got me
off in corner and said, Now George.
you know | came here today I'M
expectedly and without preparation,
so | want you to give me part of
your address" ] gave him a section
of it so have very little to say to you.
There was time when the
! Grand Lodge was not as favorable to-
wards the Michigan Masonic Home as
she is today. The Home was founded
a decade ago. What is the policy to-
wards the Home today? 1t is
splendid one. Every Mason in
! Michigan stands behind it. Not only
, the many that are present today;
not only the grand officers and those
high in Masonry, but back home in
the shops, the boys are behind this
institution. The men of the Offices,
the men in the stores, the seventy
! thousands of Michigan Masons are be
hind this institution and with such
/ backing this Home shall continue to
rise and by splendid charity shall
bless the state of Michigan. This
was the spirit of yesterday; it is the
spirit Of today and the fraternity of
tomorrow will ever be true to this
spirit"

London, England.-While playing
with some boys near his homo at
Shapperton-on-Tham Johnnie VIII
son, aged six years, crawled into q
drain pipe. He expected to come out
at Joint ten feet away, but missed
the place and becoming confused as
to directions kept on crawling. AS he
did not return children gave an alarm
and a searching party set to work at
once. They dug to the drain pipe, ten
feet from the opening. Johnnie was
not there.
At some distance from the opening
they dug another hole, ten feet IN
depth. Johnnie heard the picks and
mistook the meaning Of the noises
and kept crawling still further from
safety. Finally at 80 feet they made
another hole In the drain and caught
Johnnie by the feet just as he was
crawling past.
The lad had been In the 12-inch pipe
for Ave hours, but aside from being
smeared with black mud he suffered
no Ill effects from the experience.

NOTES

Expand your feed supply with q
silo.
Economy In feeding the dairy COW
never pinches the ration.
The silo lends itself admirably to
efforts at intensive farming.
Oil meal or cottonseed meal and
ensilage Is practically as good.
Nothing is better than corn meal to
bolster up the calves skim milk
Alfalfa and ensilage make a near
ly perfect ration. Corn and ensilage
Is fine.
Skim milk Is less digestible than
whole milk. The safety lies in light
feeding.
Handling eggs has been found an
ideal side line for the creamery when
properly regulated.
Cans used for shipping sweet cream
must be perfectly clean If fine quail
ty of cream is to be furnished.
Probably the most prolific source
of milk contamination, as far as num-
bers are concerned, Is the milk uten-
sils.
One way to save feed bills is to
protect the cows from flies during the
summer and the cold weather In the
winter.

Danger to Fruit Trees and Shrubs
Where Food Supply Of Cotton
tall ls Covered Up.

When SHOWS cover the ground for
long periods, there is danger to the
fruit trees and shrubs. The supply of
food for the cottontail Is covered, and
he Is driven to the trees.
Many small trees will be injured
the present winter, says Homestead,
and owners must be vigilant to avoid
damage. The shotgun and the trap
will do something to thin out the
rodents, but they cannot be depended
upon for perfect protection. Feed
may be supplied by throwing down
apple trimmings. Poison may be
used, strychnine in sweet apples. Also
there are fifty applications for the
bark which cause the enemy to avoid
