BETTORS SHY ON POLITICS
No Sulzer Money at 8 to 1-6 to 5
is Best Offer.

The Broad street betting market
was devoid of political business yes
terday, but there was bette inquiry
and an indication accordingly that
bettors may get down to brass tacks
before long.
A broker representing a prominent
republican politician looked for the
man who offered $4,000 on Sulzer at
3 to l.. He couldn't find him. The
best he could find was an offer Of 6
to ) on Sulzer and he didn't want
that.
Another broker made the follow
ing proposition without takers:
$500 at 8 to 1 against Taft, $4,000
at 5 to 2 on Wilson, $1,000 even that
Straus finishes first or second.

IMPORT OF DAIRY
PRODUCTS DECREASE

Washington, D. c., Oct. 9.-The
import of dairy products into the
United States decreased in value ap-
proximately $50, 735 during the past
year, according to data compiled by
the federal department Of agricul-
.ture. The total value of dairy pro-
ducts imported for the year ending
June 80, 1912, was $1O,029,S53 as
compared with s10,116,5SS for the
previous year. The recent increase
in the dairying idustry in the South
west, and especially Texas is said to
be instrumental in bringing about
these conditions.

CARE OF THE FARM AUTO.

We have owned and operated a
machine for five years and pride
ourselves upon its appearance and
durability. Care is the keynote of
keeping a machine looking well. The
farmer is differently situated from
his city brother who just runs
around the corner to the garage for
his repairs, adjustments and clean
ing up, pays the garage keeper his
bill and tells the whole world that
an automobile is a terribly expen-
Farm and Home. The farmer buys
gasoline, does his own repairing, adj
knows little about expense save first
cost and tire upkeep.
There is the same secret in keep
ing a machine looking good that
there is in keeping a horse and car
riage in good shape-sane driving
and horse sensefl You can knock
: anything to pieces if you start
knocking; the things is, not to start
Clean up and adjust matters every
time you run. There is no dust al
layer so competent as a cloth slight
ly oiled with gas engine oil. We use
one all the rear to remove the dust
from the hood, tenders and other
par S. 1t keeps the parts clear and
clean of dust and makes the machine
like new.
Every time we run we go over the
machine. These cloths are stored in
the tool box and kerosene cloths are
used to wipe the engine and metal
parts. Once in two weeks the car
bon is dislodged from the cylinders
with kerosene and the oil removed
from crank case, strained and re-
turned If fit. We have a machine.
that we shall be operating 90 years
hence, barring accident.

PLAN M ACROSS
THE RED RIVER

Gainesville, Tex, Oct. "a num-
Der Of the business men of this city
are planning to build a tramway
across the Red River, which will be
constructed on the principal Of the
cash carrier system. BY this means
they will eliminate the ferry nuis-
ance and uncertain river, as well as
the cost of construction of a bridge
which would cost about $500, 900.
A number of engineers have visited
the site Of the proposed tramway and
have declared the proposition to be

MAKE 1T KNOWN TO H E

The statement of Judge Burke
that 20 per cent of the governmental
expenditures are for war purposes
and only 2 per cent for agricultural
interests is somewhat startling. At
the same time the government is do
ing a great work for the improve
ment Of arming conditions. The
agricultural department has secured
the world for fruits, vegetables and
other farm crops applicable to diff
ferent sections of this country, with
good results. Tree growth and
planting have been studied to advan-
tage, and the Improvement of seed
for planting purposes has been
marked. Scientific study has been
made of irrigation, soil fertility and
crop rotation. All of this informa-
ton is at the disposal of the farmer
for the asking, almost. The depart
'ment makes soil tests and informs
the applicant VISA is needed to in
crease the productive qualities. It
has just announced that the experts
on methods Of profitable farming are
being sent out into different sections
to work with the farmers for the pur-
pose of increasing the earning pos
sibilities and making life on the farm
something more than mere drudgery.
Unfortunately, however, the aver
ager farmer knows little Of the work
OF the department or what it is will
ing to do for him. The department
can do no greater work now than
that of putting it's information and
experience at the disposal of every
farmer in the country. The informa-
ton is of little value to the public
when buried in Washington.-Balti-

More HAY and Better Hay.

Washington, d. c., Oct. "a re-
port issued recently by the United
States department Of agriculture
shows that the total production OF
tame hay in Texas this year was ap-
proximately $4,000 tons which is
an increase over last years produc-
ton of 163 900 tons or AZ per cent.
The yield per acre this year is LAO

Texas Cotton Oil Production.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 9.-Ac-
cording to the fastest report of the
secretary of commerce and labor,
Texas produced in 1909 a larger
amount of cotton seed oil than any
other state in the union, c%ontribut-
ing PIP per cent Of the total pro-
duction Of the United States. The
total quantity crushed in 1909 was
.916,374 tons, an increase over 1899
of 233,770 tons, or 80 per cent.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 13-Frank
Chance played his last game as a.regular
Cub yesterday against Cincinnati. He
would not have played today If there had
been game. but intended to try out
Heine Zimmerman on first base and will
do SO tomorrow in st. Louis. Rain pre-
vented today's game.
1t 10 not likely the manager ever will
appear in q game again except in des-
perate emergency This decision was
reached this morning after conference
between Chance and President Murphy.
during which the manager told the mag
nate that the old trouble with his head
was bothering him again almost as much
as last season.
President Murphy advised Chance to
Immediately quit active playing and to
manage the Cubs from the bench until he
felt better. This was the solution
reached, but everybody concerned, in
Guiding Chance himself, believes his
active career on the diamond ended yes
terday after twelve years of brilliant and
honorable connection with the game as q
great player. =
ed the opening games here brought on
Chances old trouble with his head.
1t was particularly. serious yesterday.
Last night the manager suffered with
q terrific headache. and decided to take
the warning before it was too late.
The trouble is caused. physicians say,
by the repeated blows Chance has re-
ceived on the head from pitched balls.
He was obliged to stop playing on ac-
count OF his severe headaches early
last season. but did not give up until
he collapsed on the playing field at
Cincinnati during preliminary prac-
tice.
A winter of quiet and rest on the, Cali
fornia fruit orchard apparently had re-
stored Chances health, and he believed
the head trouble had disappeared Tor

preliminary warning this spring while at
Nashville. After q hard and hot days

he kept that fact to himself. hoping It
was not the old trouble renewed II was

Had It not been for the fact that he
sustained a slight injury to his foot when
he cleared the bar at six feet, he would
have attempted to better the south At

Witnessed his performance today feel
