DIRECT STAR WORTH
BEING RECOGNIZED
ALL OVER COUNTRY
MANY SALES OF HIS COLTS ARE
REPORTED BY ToLLEY
FARM.
GEORGE 7. ALSO DISPOSED OF
Young Phenomena Is Expected To
Show Some Wonderful Bursts of
Speed When he Gets on a Mile Track
Other Sales are Made.

During the past two or there. weeks,
W. M. Tolley, proprietor of the splen-
did Tolley Farm, has been making
some very satisfactory sales of his
choice young stock as we'll as some
with records. The prices obtained in
every instance have been good and are
evidence of the high esteem in which
the horsemen of the country hold the
product of the Tolley Farm. Many of
the sales have been of colts Of Direct
Star and there Is growing evidence Of
the high recognition all over the coun-
try of the worth of this great sire.
Among the recent sales is one to C.
W. Bush, of Salisbury, N. c., for his
patron, H. c. Brown, of the roam
pacing horse, George T, 2:11k, by
Fred s. Wilkes. This horse Is only
five years old and until comparative
| ly short time ago was used by Mr..
Tolley's sons to ride to school, no
idea of his having speed having en-
tered Mr.. Tolley's mind. The discov-
cry made he was put in training and
soon gave every evidence of being an
unusually promising animal. 1t is be-
lieved that on mile track he will
show 2:05 during the coming season.
Another sale to the same party was
that of Corrine by John A, 2:O3A, a
four-year-old bay mare; also a yearling
colt by Direct Star, 2:09A, dam by
Hal Parker 2:11A; also yearling
gray FLY by Direct Star, dam Sylvan
by Red Pilot; Sylvan is the dam Of
seven PAGERS in the list.
John AS FLY was not broken until
January last and raced mile In the
recent work out in 2:25 half in Ill
and quarter in IS seconds. The two
yearlings were sold on their breeding.
Two other Direct Star colts were
sold to E. X. Whitehead, of Louisville;
a sucking Ally, dam Susie McEwen,
by McEwen. PISA, who is the dam OF
four PAGERS, two in the 2:10 list. Also
yearling FLY by Walter Direct 2:05%
to Ogle Boner, of Sherman, Ill.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced 1t a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
satntly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable Science
has proven Catarrh to be constitu-

head off as it were. All you need do
is to use DR.. Bells Pine-Tar-H Honey.

short time you get relief and start on
the road to recovery. Your nose stops
running, you cough less and you know
you are getting better. Get bottle,

CAT FISH WEIGHING
FORTY TWO POUNDS
CAUGHT IN HOLLOW LOG AT SUCK
ISLAND IN DUCK RIVER,
NEAR SANTA EE.

John Petty and Allen Latta caught
cat fish Saturday evening In an old
log at Suck Island, in Duck river, near
Santa Fe. This makes seven big Ash
that have been caught from this same
den that weighed from nineteen to
fifty pounds. The old log seems to be
a favorite rendezvous for cat fish and
they seem to fatten and thrive after
gaining access to same.

U. S. CONTRACTS FOR 27
CATERPILLAR TRACTORS
Each Machine Will Weigh $4,000
Pounds and viii Cost salts,
Plus 81 900 for Armor.

Twenty-seven caterpillar tractors,
nearly similar to those converted into
land turtles or tanks" by the British
and used in northern France, soon will
be a part of the war paraphernalia OF
the United States Army The Illinois
firm which supplied the British army
with the foundations for its armored
fighting machines has contracted to
build some more tractors for this gov
ernment. They are to be delivered
within ninety days.
Each tractor will weigh between
$1,000 and 14,O0O pounds That is con-
siderably below the weight of the trac-
tors furnished the British government.
Each will cost $4.775, with $1,000 added
for armor. They will be used in haul
ing big guns, and will carry rapid
firing rifles, but more for defense than
for offense. While similar to the ordi-
nary farm tractors, they are more pow
erfully constructed.
OF the tractors already in use by the
United States Army, five are in the
Hawaiian Department at Honolulu and
several are on the Texas border. They
were bought for experimental purposes,
and are declared to have worked with
remarkable success. Three of the five
now in the Hawaiian Department have
been assigned to the new 9th Heavy
Field Artillery.
The two other caterpillars in that
department are being used expert
mentally. They have been armed and
armored, and are being put through
tests similar to the work done by the
British tanks

COLONEL AND TAFT.
MEET ONCE MORE
Greet Each Other at the
Hughes Reception
in New York.
ADMINISTRATION SCORED
BY ALL THREE SPEAKERS
Ex-Presidents and Candidate Assert
q. S. Weak Policy May Cause
More U-Boat Wafare.

NEW YORK, October 4.-Charles E.
Hughes, Theodore Roosevelt and Will
liam H Taft spoke last night from the
same platform at a reception given Mr..
Hughes by the Union League Club of
this city.
The occasion served to bring Col.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft face to face
for the first time in more than a year.
They clasped hands for moment, each
said to the other, "How do you do?"
and bowed. Col. Roosevelt then passed
line.
Later in the evening Col. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Taft met again in the ele-
vator with Chauncey NJ. Depew and
George R. Seldom. Col. Roosevelt, it
was reported. inquired after the
health of Mrs. Taft. They did not meet
again during the evening.
Messrs. Hughes, Roosevelt and Taft
addressed the club members and their
guests, after the formal reception, in
the main room of the club. In their
speeches each assailed the administra-
tion more vigorously than before dur
ing the present campaign.
Col Roosevelt previously denounced the
administrations foreign policy, declaring
that there would be no debate in the Ger
man reichstag as to the resumption of
submarine warfare ''if they knew that
they had as President of the United States
a man who would not tolerate any kind of
action of that sort
President Wilson's speech Saturday, Col
Roosevelt said, left an inference that if
he were reelected this country would not
be drawn into war, leaving it to be in
ferred by the outside world that nobody
could insult him SO that he would fight.
Mr.. Wilson's speech last Saturday" Col
Roosevelt continued. was an invitation
to foreign powers to do whatever they
wished because if he were in power they
need not be afraid
Mr. Wilson. Col. Roosevelt said, "is
praised for the most part by people with
shoulders that slope like champagne
bottle, by people with timid hearts and
quaverng voices, who say that he has
kept us out of war;
Mr.. Taft said that he concurred in the
view of Mr.. Roosevelt that this election
is "the most important since the civil
war, and declared that he did not consider
that the administration had kept the
country out of war.
