BEN EARL SETS RECORD
Fast Omaha Horse Faces Within One half Second of Two Minutes in Fea- ture Event at Columbus.

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 27.-Pacing within half a second of two minutes, Ben Earl, yesterday afternoon at the Columbus Grand Circuit races, won the middle heat of the Arch City stake and gave this event a new rec- ord for single heat, the best previous time for mile in it having been 2:O2 IA by Frank Bogash, Jr. in 1913, and Peter Stevens in 1914. Ben Earl captured the event yesterday in straight heats.
 Diameter, original favorite in the auctions, though both Ben Earl and Jay Ell Mack were backed heavily,
 set the pace in each heat, but was un- able to come home with the rush that
 Ben Earl displayed after squaring
 away in close to the winning Omaha horse.
 Zomrect, favorite for the 2:18 trOt, had to score for the first heat in tenth position and finished fifth to Ridge
 mark, the second choice. In the sec
 ond mile Zomrect took the lead and
 was Tapped by Ridgemark. To the half, zomrect stepped in 1:O1 3-4, Ridgemark breaking before getting there. All through the last quarter,
 Zomrect came under restraint, but he
 took record of 2:06 1-2. He won the next two heats easily.
 Harod's Creek had no stiff opposi- tion in the sweepstakes for 3year-
 old trotters. He was to 1 choice
 over the other four. Silver Mine, win ner of the Ohio Governors Cup Trot
 in August acted badly and was dis tanced in the first heat.
 Little Frank D., making his second Grand Circuit start after g. career in half-mile tracks, was about equal favorite with Young Todd of the Cox stable for the 2:13 pace. He won in straight heats, getting a record Of 2:O4 IA in the second one, and going the first half in 1:01.

Harvesting Without TWine

Have you ever watched a modern harvester at work as it goes through Ethe wheat fields? Have you seen how it mows the ripe grain, gathers and Hies the sheaves firmly with tW1ne? eThat twine is @ very vital thing without it modern harvesting would <be we'll nigh impossible. A modem farrser does not harvest wheat with but twine.
 ] Now just as sheaves of wheat are held compactly, perfectly together by EWine, so are the various parts of the human body held together to per- Eoxm their functions perfectly by the kction of the nerves. When those &aerves go to pieces the body falls Rpart, as it were, just as the sheaf Falls apart when the twine breaks and 4s scattered on the ground to be Xrodden under foot.
 l Today right here in your city there 8re thousands of men who are trying So harvest their life crops with out wine.
 Nerves have gone to rack and ruin -not all at once, but little by little; he various portions of the body are 10 longer acting in that perfect har- pony which is the sure indication of erfect nerves.
 The time is coming to you when Tour sheaf of life will be scattered, rampled under foot unless your
 erves are once more restored to their formal condition.
 I'm going to let this thought sink Get alone by yourself and look al
 ourself. Don't try to conceal the acts. Self deceit Is self folly. And kfter you have sized up the situation ehy not make up your mind that you
 Fill no longer try to do the utterly Anpossible. No longer try to harvest Rithout twine-no longer suffer from
 ervous troubles that are ruining youl afe!
 Then I want you to come and sec
 ae. Many men in your condition 8aye come to me. It has been the 3lrning point in their lives for bet fr, brighter things. Why not fol 8ou?

careful transitions and clever illustra
tions he worked out his theme that
happiness is knowledge multiplied by
doing plus yourself. After the address

presided at the piano while a large
number Of the students gathered
around and sang from the fine new
song books they recently purchased.

fo cnnd1Nf

newly decorated Y. M. C. A. room.
Prin. Owen and the boys have fitted
this up since their return from the Y.

room on the third floor is now one of
the most attractive spots in the build
ing.
The students will soon give "Ici on
Parle Francais," which they are get
ting up to defray the expenses of the
reception, and to purchase certain
things they desire for the further i'm
provement Of the school. Many prac-
tical and artistic additions have been
made already through the earnest ef-
forts Of teachers and students, and the
school is becoming an attractive and
Jones and the girls have just complet-
ed redecorating the girls dressing
