Hughie Hughes Maxwell, Arthur
Klein's King, and Earl Cooper's
Stutz-raced around the track
for the last 8 miles neck and
neck, first one car and then an
other assuming the lead.
In the 9Sth lap, after the three
racers had shot around the big
saucer for 1876 miles, Earl Cooper
was forced to draw into the pits
and relinquish a 100-foots lead
over his rivals that he had main
tanned for many miles. Cooper's
rear tires had gone to pieces at
the critical time, and he lost half
a lap i'm replacing them. BY the
time he got started around the
course again Hughie Hughes
dashed across the finish line, with
Klein less than SO feet behind
him.
Speedy Average.
The three leaders made an av-
erage speed of IAN miles per
hour for 200 miles. Cool and
calm race drivers and officials
completely lost their heads over
the exciting finish. Several per-
sons in the sun-baked grandstand
were overcome with excitement
and tainted as the last laps were
being run off. One man tainted
as he was cheering Earl Cooper
in the 9Sth lap, and toppled down
the grandstand steps unconscious.
A tragic accident on the course
a few moments before, when the
big Marmon of Wilbur DeAlene
turned completely over on the
southeast curve, was completely
forgotten in the excitement, and
the audience of $4,000 sun-burn-
ed, speed-crazed race fans cheered
as though their lungs would burst

THE INSIGHT OF
SHERLOCK HOLMES
THE fascination of watching

q eAoSSdy ~ a"lol oiio ~ my
terious that the human mind is
appalled, by it,-a mind that, for
all its scientific exactness, has a
keen delight in the dramatic eff
fect,-these are among the quail
tiles that make a Sherlock
Holmes story the most absorb
ing of all.
In the instalment in this num-
Der of our SUNDAY MAGAZINE
you will read how the greatest of
detectives asks a few pertinent
questions which have more sig
nifcance than all of those put by
Inspector Macdonald, one of
the cleverest and most successful
detectives of Scotland Yard.
These questions show that he
has seen many things that have
escaped all the others.
In the next instalment you
will feel that, in his own mind,
he has solved the mystery, that
he knows who committed the
murder and why. You will feel
that his insight, which is nothing
more than clear thinking ex-
pressed in accurate deduction,
has made it all plain to his won
derful mind. But he cannot
prove what he knows to others.
They would regard his conclu-
sions as mere theories.
But he can't resist having a
little fun with the others. He
advises the Scotland Yard ex-
pert, the county detective, and
even DR.. Watson, to take a nice,
long, quiet walk in the country
and not bother any more about
the Birlstone case.
Plainly the absorbing story is
advancing toward a climax and
yet there are many instalments
to come. That is one of the dis
tinctive things about this Sher-
lock Holmes serial. 1t explains
in part why it commanded the
highest price ever paid for a Sc
rial in the history of publications.
THERE are two things in the
story by Roy Norton-the
beginning of a series, by the way,
on THOSE WHO REFUSE
TO SURRENDER-which will
give you an idea of its quality.
These stories are based on truth:
no fictionist could invent any,
thing so remarkable. This is
what THE OPTIMIST says in
the beginning:
Nobody's ever whipped. or
killed. or fiat busted. or down
and out. until he says so him.
self and believes it.
Later on the hero of the story
offers this prayer:
Lord. make it smooth
just for me. Can't you see
I amt givin' up. and am
doin' my best? I'm most at
the end of my string. Pig
Friend. and if you don't

NOW is THE TIME TO BUY.

1t is not my purpose to induce any of my
customers to buy at this time except for the
very good reason that believe that lumber is
cheaper now than it will be in 60 or 80 days, or
even next year. Prices have reached the bot
tom. The fact Of the business is that the three
cheapest things in the world today are, life in
Europe, cotton down South, and lumber in this
territory.
The last two weeks give every evidence of
a revival of business, the loosening up of the
money market, and a general change for bet
ter conditions from now on. Those who con-
template building in the next so or 80 days
should lay their plans to do so while lumber is
cheap. We shall be glad to figure with you on
your wants.

factors.
While the Federal Government
is active in fighting the disease
through its power to control in
terstate commerce, cooperation
on the part of the State author
tiles is most essential. The quar-
antining Individually of infected
farms is a State matter, and it
is, of course, a most essential
precaution. Farms on which the
disease has broken out should be
as rigidly quarantined as if some
contagious human disease had
been found. Since the germs can
be transported by cats, dogs,
chickens, or human beings, moth
ing should be allowed to leave the
farm until the proper disinfect-
ing measures have been taken.
In particular, farmers are urged
to keep away themselves, and to
assist in keeping others away,
from all infected animals. The
inspectors who do the slaughter
ing and disinfecting are supplied
with the necessary equipment of
rubber gloves, coats, boots, and
hats, which can be thoroughly
disinfected as often as neces-
sary. Others who lack this
equipment merely help in spread
ing the disease over the country
when they visit or inspect sick
animals.

One of the most interesting

game was intersperced with for
ward passes and tricks, keeping
the crowd on their toes every
minute.

tween these two academies will

similar eruption.

Once the disease is we'll estab-
lished it becomes so painful for
the animal to eat that food is
frequently refused altogether.
Strings of saliva hang from the
mouth, and flesh is lost with as
tonishing rapidity, When the
udder is seriously affected the
milk becomes contaminated and
may cause serious results to
sucking calves and young pigs.
In mild cases from 10 to 20 days
may bring about an apparent re-
covery, but this time may be
greatly extended. Moreover, an
apparent recovery by no means
implies a real cure. The animal
may carry the virus in its blood
for a year or more and is liable
during all this time to spread the
contagion or to experience a re-
currence itself. The mortality,
considering the seriousness of
the disease and the losses it &C.
casions, is is very small, being
estimated by some authorities at
> per cent, although it frequent
~ is much greater than this. The
mortality, however, by no means
represents the real losses oc-
casioned by the disease. No
revenue is possible from infected
herds, and in the case of diary
men an outbreak of foot-and-
mouth disease frequently means
that their business is completely
ruined. Blooded or other cattle
that have become sick with the
disease naturally lose their value
as breeding animals. 1t is, how
ever, impossible to get rid of the
disease by ignoring it. The only
possible remedy is to kill off in
fected herds, disinfect the
premises, and begin over again.
What the disease means tc
those countries where it has
gained a real grip is shown by
the fact that on its last serious
outbreak in Germany the Ger.
man Government spent $4,000.
600 in fighting it. In 1890 Of
fetal statistics showed that in
the German Empire 1925 head
of cattle, 2S0,868 sheep and
goats, and 1853, 1903 swine were af.
fected with the disease. During
the same year the pestilence raw
aged live stock in France, Italy
Belgium, Austria Hungary

Bulgaria. In 1883 it was est.
mated that the disease cost Eng.
land 100000. On the occasion
of the last outbreak in the Unit.
ed States in 1908 100000 was
appropriated by Congress, anC
with the exception of a few hun.
dred dollars it was spent il
stamping out the disease. This

yestigation, determine the exact
area infected. When an animal
suffering from foot-and-mouth
disease is discovered in a herd
the whole herd is at once slaugh-
tered. Otherwise it would re-
main a dangerous source of in
lection and be a menace to the
entire community. 1t is Gus
tomary to appoint an appraiser
10 value the herd One-half Of
TIE appraised value is paid to
the owner by the Federal Gov
eminent and One-half by the
Slate. The slaughtered animals
are buried in a deep trench,
their hides slashed to make it
useless for anyone to dig them
up again, and the carcasses are
saturated with quicklime. In
this manner previous outbreaks
have been completely stamped
ont and there is every reason to
hope that this will be the case
this year. The chief danger is
that there may be infected herds
whose existence is not reported
to the proper authorities. Farm
ers are therefore urged, both for
their own protection and as a
duty to their neighbors, to re-
port Immediately all cases of
suspicious sore mouths or lame
ness among their stock.
Foot-and-mouth disease affects
chiefly cattle, sheep, goats, and
swine, but there are a number of
other animals of less commercial
Importance which are also sus-
ceptible. Occasionally human
beings are affected, but in the
majority of instances the di-
sease is not severe in the case Of
