weekly letter from John n. Page

A great deal of plowing has been
done early this year. and aa The

a good many OF our farmers prepared
for It. Those who were able TO
break their land last fall are going
to see the result Of their wisdom Ia

The land should be well broken,

GETTING READY
FOR Big RACES
INDIANAPOLIS SPEEDWAY oFFic.
iAls WORKING FAR AHEAD
OF TIME.
Despite European War. indications
. Are Favorable For Several Good
Teams From Across Pond.

Entrance blanks for the 1914 In
dianapolis speedway races are being
sent out to both private owners and
factories that are DESTROYS of enter
ing cars In the NTH annual banner
event In automobile racing. Despite
the fact that Europe is ut war. very
little trouble is being experienced IN
securing entrants. IL Is expected that
Italy alone will produce at least six
foreign nominations.
Specifications for the next contest
have been changed from that OF for
mer years, the chief revision being the
reduction OF motor dimensions by one
third. or from $50 to 800 cubic inches.
and the rising OF the speed minimum
TO eighty miles an hour. The number
OF starters has been raised to thirty
three as compared with thirty OF other
years.
The cars viii line up at the start
In the order OF the time in the speed
trials ten days before the race, the
fastest car starting In first place.
Racing numbers will also be awarded
In like manner the fastest car receiy-
ing No. 1. The color of the car will
be according to International usage,
Germany. white: Belgium, yellow;
France. Blue: Italy. red: and Ameri-
ca. red and white. All cars, drivers

AUTOISTS BEGIN
TO HAVE TROUBLE
SNOW AND ICE ON STREETS
CAUSED MUCH tNcONvEN-
FENCE YESTERDAY.
Many Autoists Were Caught Thurs
day Night Without Chains. When
Snow Became Heavy.

Much trouble mas been experienced
during the past few days by automo-
bilists. In keeping their cars from
skidding. As the result OF the snow
which fell Thursday evening and
night chains we're absolutely neces-
sary yesterday and those who were
so unfortunate as to be caught with
out them. were In a place OF extreme
danger. In many instances even the
chains were insufficient TO hold the
trucks and touring cars on the streets.
This was espe tally true on the
streets where the children made a
practice OF sledriding and had formed
smooth Icy surfaces.
Perhaps more trouble was exper-
fenced on McCuiloch street thany any
other in the city. Several instances
were reported where the high curb
on the lower side OF the street was
the only means OF saving them from
plunging against the buildings below.
Operators OF trucks also suffered
considerable trouble owing TO the fact
that thin coating OF ice had formed
on the roads and the broad surface
OF the truck wheels were worse ow-
ing TO the freezing temperature and
Indications are that IL will be but Mt
tie better today.

STORING CARS
FOR THE WINTER
IoME LOCAL CARS WILL NOT BE
- USED UNTIL NEXT SPRING,
But Greater Number viii Be Used
During Entire Year-Troubie Not
SO Great as Formerly.

While touring during the fall OF
1914 has been all that the motorist
could desire. several OF the more timid
are now preparing to store their cars
'or the winter. With the first fall OF
snow. many owners began to look for
a place In which their cars may be
eft during the winter months. While
his is not a habit that Is followed by
all motorists. and is each year becom-
ing less popular with both owners and
drivers. II is still practiced by many.
= Good roads are most essential to
winter driving. and each year this Is
becoming a matter of less worry 10
motorists. Last year Ohio county
roads were in fairly good condition.
with few exceptions, and with the
aid OF the Ohio Valley Automobile AS
Vocation matters are still improving
However. the roads are stu not what
they should be. but II Is hoped that
within the next few years enough de-
cent roads will have been built over
the county to make automobiling pos
sible during all the winter months.
In Pennsylvania. where the State
department looks after the highways.
few cars are stored for the winter.
This Is because practically all the
roads In the State are In the very best
of condition. and are free from the
treacherous mud during the freezing
and thawing weather. Ohio county
can perhaps boast OF one strip OF such
road. and that Is the national pike be-
tween Wheeling and Roney's Point.
While the pavement from Triadelphia
to the upper end OF the brick is not
mp TO the standard that is maintained
by similar roads. II will perhaps last
The greater part OF this winter at least.
= Undoubtedly the NOR etimid and I'm
experienced automobile men will store
Their cars for the winter. while those
who are moreexperienced will keep
their machines in use during the en-
Tire year. Such troubles as frozen ra-
diators are fast becoming a thing OF
the past. and are no longer matters
that worry the experienced automo-
bile man.
