The Racers Reward.

Speedway racing drivers want 70 have national nsur
ance fund established from cent of the gate receipts
Of all the existing and budding motor speedways
Told you last week the fight coming
Now our advice the racing drivers is TO appeal d
recty TO the A. This is the most phianthropic body
have with to-day 1t has spent money burying
the past than any motoring organization in the world.
II the racing drivers would appeal 70 II directly we are
sure It would only establish insurance fund for
the MANNED build national home for the widows OF all
drivers killed In action and endow sinking fund through
which the bodies Of the deceased drivers could be sunk
Don't know what the big speedway builders have In mind
but think every racing driver whether killed In action or
while stopping for gasoene should have room and bath
all arranged for him In heaven
Understand they little short Of good mechanics and
chaufeurs up there and 1t should not be difficult task
for the speedway promoters to arrange lucrative positions
in good families already established there. for those who
insist on breaking their earthly necks in noble cause

OWNERS CAUSE ACCIDENTS
Statistics Show Hired Drivers
Are More Careful.

Statistics show that nearly so per
cent OF the accidents are caused by
owners. This has again brought up
the old demand that owners be re-
ouired 70 pass examinations before
they drive on the public highways.
Il looks like the matter will be be-
fore the next New York Legislature.
and II the ratio OF accidents caused by
owners continues 10 grow during the
next few months as II has during the
last three months. Il is going TO be q
hard thing to stop any bill 10 compel
owners to pass examinations.
When il is realized that there are
more owners than hired drivers on the
roads on Sundays and holidays. when
the greatest care should be exercised,
il is going to be diifleult matter TO
convince the lawmakers that the owner
should be allowed TO go longer without
a driving license. issued after an eH-
animation.

HUDSON MAKES BIG
HIT WITH DEALERS
Harry S. Houpt, New Dis
tributer, Moves to
Finer SaleSrOOm.

II has often been said an automobile
is no better than the men who make II
and the men who sell it.
From the interest which has been
shown in the Hudson since June l,
when the Hudson Motor Car Company.
headed by Harry S. Houpt. took over
the New York and metropolitan dis
tribution of Hudsons. 1t is quite evil
dent that the buyer is intensely inter-
estCd in the man who sells car.
Mr.. Houpt has not made any an
nounccments, but he has been steadily
improving his service and sales depart
ments. A large and attractive sales
room has been leased in the new
Columbus Circle Building. and the old
Hudson service station. at Broadway
and Sixty-fourth Street, has been i'm
proved in many ways.
The Brooklyn branch has been re-
tanned, and the service there. Mr.
Houpt says. is to be the best that can
be provided.
More than twelve thousand Hudson
SKIES are in use, and the car has no
frmer supporters in any part OF the
country than it has in New York City
Since June Mr. Houpt has sold anc
delivered sixty-fve 1915 skies. The
majority OF them were sold 10 neigh
boring dealers who realize the mean.
ing of the change in metropolitan dis
tribution.
After all, the small town dealers are
the real factor which shows the
strength of car. When they begin e
gather around and buy half the battle
for the metropolitan distributor is ovel
and in his favor.
Those who have seen the 1915 Hud-
son model appear TO have no doubt
about 1t being a headliner for the
present season. and they are going
after it in good fashion.

Men Interested in the Indianapolis,

Omaha, Sioux City and Tacoma speed
ways held a meeting at Indianapolis
last week and organized the Speedway
Association of America. The Detroit
speedway was NOT represented, but has
signifed its intention of becoming af-
fliated.
c. W. Sedgwick, director Of contests
Of the Indianapolis Speedway. was elect

Many Skies Coming in the
Market for Around 900

There are only six SKIES now on the
eastern market for less than $1,000,
but from the announcements which are
coming out weekly it looks like We
will have more than score OF good
skies at or below that figure in a short
time.
The popular price for a six next
year is going 10 be less than 81 200.
Many statesmen think the fastest SELL
ing skies will be lower. in fact, around
nine hundred or thousand dollars.
This is getting il down pretty low,
but il is not impossible, they say. TO
make a good six for less than $1,000.

CATS BEAT ALL THE RAT-TRAPS IN
THE WORLD.

In the current issue of Farm and Fire
side appears department called the
'Headwork Shop in which contributors
give practical suggestions based on their
own experience. One contributor tells
as follows how she got rid of rats on her
farm:
eve used to see rats most any time
making bee line from grain stack to
lumber pile or pig pen. They climbed
stalks of corn to feast on the ears, thew
ate the grain in the feed boxes (the
horses often standing back waiting), ate
grain in the field, got into the corn-cribs
and granaries, and into the house.
1--WE shot them, trapped them with
steel and wire traps, until we could catch
only young ones. We were afraid to use
poison on account of dogs, chickens, and
stock. At last neighbor showed me
what good cat she owned. This cat
carried rats. mice, squirrels, and rabbits
TO her kittens. Our confab ended in nv
bringing home two kittens named Sambo
and Peanut. They were fed at regular
intervals, so had no excuse for stealing.
Pretty soon they began tossing mice
around out in the yard. They would
catch seven or eight day. Next it was
young rats, and as the cats grew larger
1t was old rats also."

ROCkLAND LOSES A PASTOR.
Rev. Gilbert E. Edgett of the Methodist
Church Has Accepted a Call to Vineyard
Haven

Rev. Gilbert E. Edgett of the Methodist
Church Has Accepted a Call to Vineyard
Haven.
The parishioners of Pratt Memorial M.
3. church received an unpleasant sur
prise at the morning service Sunday
when Rev. Carl N. Garland, superinten-
dent of the Rockland District, announced
the resignation of the pastor, Rev. Gil
bert E. Edgett.
Mr. Edgett has accepted call to the
Methodist church in Vineyard Haven,
Mass, which desired that his services
should begin there one week from next
Sunday. Mr.. Edgett will compromise
by dividing his time between Rockland
and his new charge, removing to Massa-
chusetts the last of January.
His new field of labor is located IN a
summer resort town on Martha's Vine
yard, and is briefly described as "a small
church with strong membership" By
going there Mr.. Edgett becomes trans
ferred to the New England Southern
Conference, after having been for 20
years one of the ablest and best known
preachers of the East Maine Methodist
Conference. Had he remained here
until next April he would have given
three full years to Pratt Memorial
church.
Mr.. Ed EFT was born in Dorchester,
N. B., Oct II, 1866. He entered the
ministry in the East Maine Conference,
being ordained as deacon in 1894 and as
elder in 1896 He has held pastorates in
Cutler, Milbridge, Round Pond, Bristol,
Belfast, Houlton and Calais. He preach
ed five years in Belfast and six years in
Calais.
Mr.. Edgett is serving his 10th year as
a trustee of the East Maine Conference
Seminary and is member of the confer
ence board of examiners. His Rockland
pastorate has been marked by the con-
tlnued prosperity of Pratt Memorial
church, every department of which has
been maintained at a high standard.
The regret which is occasioned by his
departure extends far beyond the borders
of his own parish. Courier Gazette.

organization. The new commander is
Judge A N. Linscott of Thomaston,

that office has ever been held by vet
