Public Wants Team Races.
The object of the Indianapolis race
magnates is said to be twOfold. First,
these sportsmen believe the day IS here
when the public wants races between
speedway teams the same as they now
have between baseball clubs from diff

spectacular events such as have never
been dreamed Of
the part Of the Indianapolis people is
one calculated to benefit the entire
automobile industry. For example, the
Indianapolis speedway owners recently
bought one Of the finest and most eX-
pansive automobiles built in Europe
and took il TO indianapolis, where the
members Of the Society of Automobile
Engineers were invited to inspect it.
These engineers, representing various
automobile and parts factories. tore
this foreign car completely down

result that the knowledge gained in
the European factories was distributed

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Jan. 29.-The
recent automobile shows bring forth
- the startling information that the
automobile manufacturing industry
ranks fourth in the United States with
lumber first, steel second and clothing
next. This is startling when viewed
bv the brevity of the industry exist
snce. There are AS automobile fac
tories IN the United States and these
promise to produce more than 100000
cars during 1916. Parallel with the
growth and increase in the manufac-
turing element 81 the business, the
way races made colossal strides and
promises newer, bigger and greater
things for the coming year
With the new speedways which were
built in 1915 and the other new ones
under way in full bloom in 1916, the
sporting element OF the automobile in
dustry bids fair TO keep pace with the
Industrial element, as they are one and
the same-interdependent and CO.
operative.
Sensational DeveIODmeRt.
Probably the most sensational de-
velopment planned for the coming
year, which has leaked through the
censorship at Indianapolis, are the
plans Of the Indianapolis motor speed

powered speed craft of their own for

least a half dozen wonderful speed
monsters will be turned loose on the
various speedway tracks this season
This introduces an entirely new in

Week visitors on selecting and grad

One Missouri farmer sold his select

while his neighbors, with just as good
fruit not selected and graded. sold
theirs for about One-third as much.
Doctor Whitten said.
There are four things to watch in
selecting and grading apples. One
must select apples that are typical of
the variety in shape. size and color
The apples must be free from me-
chanical injury, especially from hav-
ing the stems pulled out. which is al
most certain to cause rot The apples
must be uniform.
1t is the large apple that usually
spoils the entire lot. A peck of unus-
