New Meaning for Racing.

The track races probably will be held
II the plans Of the management are
put into execution motor racing will re-
ceive a new meaning to both the drivers
and to the manufacturer Of the automo-
bile. Under the present racing arrange
ment the only essential requirements are
that the car conform to a standard as to
weight. displacement, piston drive, to
meet a certain speed test in field trials
quirement being altogether question OF
trackage, some speedways being faster
than others.
The Philadelphia management Will
endeavor to bring out and accentuate
the importance of the general car eff
ficiency rather than Just speed alone.
A motor that drives one hundred miles
on eight gallons of gasoline deserves
some consideration, it is said. over one
that goes the same distance on fifteen;
the same Is true of oil. and If racing
is to accomplish what 1t is expected of
it. more attention will have to be given
to all-round general car efficiency. This
Is what the Philadelphia motor speed
way expects to do.
It is believed that the development
of this idea, with the formation of
proper physical requirements and wise
tinguish the Philadelphia motor races
from all others and make them the
most sought for by manufacturers.
With a special trophy put up for gen.
eral efficiency as to fuel. oil and per-
formance as a whole, this to rate the

with taking from the postof!ice

JOHN B. N0LET
PASSES AWAY
Death Follows Painting Spe|l
Of Jamestown Resident.

John B. Nolet died at his rest
dence, 313 Adams st. E, Wednesday
morning at 8:35 o'clock, after a
short illness. He had been sick only
since Monday evening, at which time
he left the house and went te the
barn where he was assisting his SON
in-law, Victor Wilmart. in hitching
up a horse. While near the barn he
became dizzy and fell to the ground.
He was helped inside the house and.
to his bedroom, which he never left.
and rapidly declined until the end.
His trouble was diagnosed by hiss
physicians as kidney affection and
there was little that could be done:
to stay the progress Of his disease:
Mr.. Nolet was born in Belgium
seventy-eight years ago. At the d
of 18 he came to the United States
and later to North Dakota where,
for thirty-two years, he engaged in
farming south Of jamestown, in La
Moure county, being pioneer resi-
dent of that county. He had lived
in Duluth for sixteen years and in
jamestown twelve years. Mr.. Nolet
leaves a family consisting of wife
and five daughters, as follows: Liv-.
ing in jamestown are Mrs. Ambrose
Walsh, Mrs. Charles Tally, Mrs. Vic
tor Wilmart; Mrs. F. E. Jones, an
other daughter, resides in San Jose.

o'clock Friday morning.

The towns in the district are also
certain to profit greatly by the
: syhautauqua, because enhanced farm
6 'ues and increase in population in
rl% neighborhoods make town
pros -ity. There will be also the
natur&e increase of the transient
trade re- citing from the constant

summer moil ..
OthA Benefits. @
In addition to the financial bene-
fits an even more substantial value
will accrue to the whole region of
country tributary to the lake from
the real qualification, the content
ment, the prospects of future amuse-
ment, and educational uplift which
will be derived from the location of
a Chautauqua at the lake. The in
crease of sociability, the extension of
acquaintance, the intermingling of
people from the distant parts of the
state; the fun, the intellectual bene-
fits, the qualification of the craving
for new and higher forms of enter
tainment will be provided in this en-
terprise, and a satisfaction will arise
from the consciousness Of being a
joint owner and proprietor in what
will be perhaps the chief rural play
ground of it's kind in the state.
People of Stutsman county, both
in the towns and in the country,
should get behind this project and
aid it with voice, pen and contribu-
tion. Every man big enough to en-
brace new idea and approve of a
progressive movement ought to as
sumo the same position of support.
The work of the chief promoter of
this enterprise is an asset to this
region and tho real benefits which
will follow are much greater than
the political efforts of men who are
much better known, who ask for the
support of people of the district and
whose work will be infinitesimal in
value to the state compared with the
work of a promoter of a successful
project like the one above.
