MOTOR RACES ARE GOOD
Try-out of Stock Cars on Lone Oak
Track Shows Speedway is Remark
ably Fast. ~

A party of motorcyclists from the
Multnomaii- cub of Portland, most of
them riding Excelsiors, staged a small
race meet at the fair grounds yester.
day afternoon to try out some stock
cars on the Lone Oak track. The first
race was the two mile for profession
ais, and was won by Philbin, time 2:2S,
on an ExcelsioT; Printy on Harley.
Davidson, was second. The first lap
was made in l;l7 from standing
start. -rtf
The second race was the three mile
amateur and as the Harley went out
on the second lap with engine trouble
it developed into a race for the mer.
chandise prize between Evans and Hay
den, both riding KS. Evans won in
4;O4 with Hayden one second behind
The single cylinders were then given
= chance and Purley and Skiff, two
Salem cyclints, were started off, Pur.
ley on a new Pope and Skiff on an old
blue Indian model 1910. Purley won
in 1921.
Rose, the professional motorcycle
racer from Portland, next tried out a
stripped stock Excelsior, for a speed
record on the fair grounds track, and
did two miles in III each and another
one with flying start in :55 as the
time given out, Rose says he can clip
at least two seconds from this record
but the dust on the track and the abb
sence of high banked turns cut down
the speed. AT that the fair grounds
track is pronounced to be a better
speedway than any of the tracks about
Portland and will probably be pop
ular place to try ouS machines. About
$50 people attended the races beside an
equal number Of local motorcyclists
who watched the races, which were
free.

Fire Prevention Day.

Chimney fires in Maine last year
caused a damage to property of APP
proximately 100000. This fact based
on figures tabuiated in the Office OF
the State Insurance Commissioners
emphasizes the necessity of a thor
ough inspection of all chimneys and
fiues. This inspection is now being
urged upon the people of Maine as
part of Fire Prevention Day, Thurs
day, April 80.
In this as in other. vital matters we
realize the necessity for action but
we are apt to delay and postpone,
said State Insurance Commissioner, j.
w. Blunt Fire Prevention Day sets
a time, when the citizens of our State
may take proper measures for their
safety. 1t fixes q certain day-makes
the time definite. When our people
determine to do thing they do it. The
time is chosen. All they need to do is
to say, I'll do it-and it will be done

quently because the chimney is built
in the house in such way that ii
must bear part of the structure
weight This causes the flue to crack
when the house settles. Chimneys
should be built from the ground up,
and should never rest on wooden sup
ports.
An inspection on Fire Prevention
Day will dislose unsafe conditions if
they exist and will permit repairs in
item to prevent a future fire.
This inspection should be made par
ticularly in the attic and care should
be taken to see that no infiammable
material is allowed to remain near the
chimney
You owe it to your family and to
the community to make such an in
spection. Why not do so on Fire Pre-
vention Day?

More Cow Test Associations to Be
Formed.

Interest in the organization of COW
test associations is increasing in GER
tain sections of the State according
to the report of F. S. Adams, State
dairy instructor. Mr. Adams accom-
panied by A. M. Goodman of the
Dairy Division of the Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture have been speak
ing at Institutes held recently in diff
ferent parts of the State and both
have made good progress in the or
ganiZation work.
A canvass is now being made of
the cows in Fryeburg, Cornish, Hiram
and Denmark and the indications are
the 800 cows required will soon be en-
tered and the association formed. The
State Department of Agriculture is
also getting calls for speakers from
people in Exeter, Charleston, Brad
ford and Corinth and the chances of
an association being formed from
these four towns seem favorable. 1t
is also probable that the towns of
Freedom, Thorndike, Unity and Troy
will join forces for an association.
Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Goodman spoke
Monday afternoon at meeting of the
Winthrop, Monmouth and Wales Cow
Test Association.

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council Will Be Held at 10 A. M.
Wednesday, May 27.

State Commissioner of Agriculture
J. A. Roberts Monday morning sent
out letters to Aroostook county po-
tato growers, giving especial direc-
lions for the planting of potatoes now
that the powdery scab exists in the
county. The commissioner states in
the letter that he desires to secure the
name and address of every party
known to have potatoes infected with
powdery scab in order that the de-
partment of agriculture may assist
in its eradication.
The part of the letter relating to
the planting of seed potatoes reads
as follows:
"Powdery scab exists in all parts
of Aroestook county. The Federal
Horticultural Board pronounces it a
dangerous disease and is using every
means to prevent it's spread, and to
exterminate that which now exists.
The crop of 1914 win be subjected to
inspection for powdery scab, as is
the case now with the crop of 1913.
For your protection we urge that you
be sure that your seed is free from
powdery scab and has not been sub
jected to contamination with this dis
ease.
do not plant potatoes grown on
ground which has produced potatoes
having powdery scab.
do not plant potatoes taken out
of a bin or lot of potatoes where
powdery seab has been found.
Treat all seed potatoes with for
maldehyde, using one pint of the 40
per cent. solution in 80 gallons of wa
ter. and soaking the potatoes two
hours in this solution"
