ATTEMPTED TO WRECK
JOE NIkRENT'S AUTO

GRAND RAPIDS, Aug. 26.-The en-
nifty of the horse men toward racing
automobiles exhibiting on circular dirt
tracks cropped out in a dangerous an
gle the other day at Grand Rapids,
Mich, and came near ending the space
eating career of one of the oldest
and most popular drivers.
The men interested in horse races
in Grand Rapids, a grand circuit town,
have always fought against the let
ting out Of the track to automobile
racing organizations, and when Z. d.
Conger recently let the Grand Rapids
Automobile Club the track for a week
the horse followers went up in the
air.
Wednesday, the day before the race
meet, Joe NikTent of California and
Louis Disbrow of New York were try
ing out their Case racing machines.
Nillrent was making one of the treach-
erous turns which every dirt track
possesses at better than 60 miles an
hour. An unknown character lying
III ambush outside the fence waited un-
til Nikrent was within a few yards OF
the turn; then he hurled a 16-foot rail
in front of his car. Nikrent saw the
act just in time to steer close to the
pole and escape hitting it.
An investigation was started at
once, and it developed that the per
son who tried to wreck Nikrent and
his car came out of one of the sta
bles and hid in the tall grass until
his chance came to attempt to wreck
the machine
The services of IS special police
were required the next day to assure
the protection OF the auto pilots in
the various races.

handling of eggs is responsible for an
annual loss of the huge sum of $45,-
100000 according to department Oi
agricultural experts who have been in
vestigating the egg smashing business
This enormous loss is. due to small
eggs, cracked and broken eggs, dirty
stale and rotten eggs. The improper
handling is a loss to farmers, middle
men and consumers alike, say the eX
perts, and they urge everybody to
get busy and institute reforms which
will do away with it. Here are some
Of the plans suggested for betterment
Encourage the production of large
eggs.
Take steps to insure proper disposi
tion of infertile eggs. Dirty eggs VIII

ceived in New York during the year
are stale This is not necessary if
eggs are promptly collected and expe
ditiously shipped to market.
