Allan E Walker. Stock Exchange Head,
Strikes Valuable Vein Near City.

The District Is to have a large granite
quarry added to it's industries IN the near
future. A plentiful supply OF blue granite
Of very fine quality has been discovered
on the farm Of Allan E. Walker, presi-
dent Of the local stock exchange, and
prominent in real estate and insurance
activities here.
Mr.. Walkers venture into the quarrying
business came about in a rather interest
ing way. He had no knowledge that there
was marble on the land he owned until
he was asked to sell some Of the boulders
on the land for building stone. Investi-
cation revealed the fact that nearly the
entire tract Of fifty acres had a sub-layer
Of high-grade granite. Although the
thickness OF the granite bed has not been
measured by the owners, biologists COM

feet Preliminary borings indicate that
the stone is near the surface at practically
every point
Work has already been started upon the

and finishing machines will be installed

ISAYS BUSINESS MEN
NEED Voice in rule
Vanderlip Predicts Industrial Tragedies
Unless Greater Control Is Granted.

President Frank A Vanderip. of the
National City Bank OF New York, in two
addresses here yesterday. expressed a be-
lief that unless the business interests OF
the country demand and obtain a bigger
voice in the affairs of the national gov
ernment, one OF the gravest Industrial
tragedies in the history OF the country is
imminent.
Vanderlip spoke before the financial Of
hcers OF the railroads and the CONNER
cial Club and in both addresses laid spe-
cial emphasis upon the crises the railroads
would face unless they regained the con-
fldence OF investors. He declared that the
railroads must develop statesmen among
themselves to work out remedies, or there
will be no cure, as neither national incor-
poration, getting away from State con-
troll, nor government ownership would i'm
prove conditions.
Your business is without the conf
dence OF investors" he declared. About
S4Oo, 100000 has gone into industrial i'm
provements in this country In a year and
nothing into railroads for new develop
ment."
The principal troubles facing the rail-
roads, ne pointed out, were legislative
advances in wages. government restric-
tions, demands of the public for lower
rates, and the politician who will sell
his executive Judgment for votes"

There's no field in which this old adaEe
holds true to a greater degree than in
automobile racing. In the big racing
classics It is a usual thing for a number
of the contestants to run afoul Of trou-

friction "queered' many a drivers pros
poets.
Nowadays friction is the cause of COM
paratively few of the mishaps to the rae
ing cars. This is largely due to the fact
that practically all winning performances
are made by cars fabricated with Dixon 5
graphite automobile lubricants. This fact
has opened the eyes of the racers to the
dependability of Dixon's and has brought
practically all OF them into the Dixon
fold. Pleasure drivers can't go wrong
