BUCKINGHAM MOTOR RACES

The Motor Cycle races at Buck

ed on Friday to be in for bad wealth
er, but the weather man concluded
to be kind to them before Saturday
morning and the day was very de-
sirable one with all of the attrac.
tions of Colorado fall day. a little
sharp around the edges. but not
enough to keep away those with the
warm blood to appreciate race.
There was a good crowd, and the
automobile predominated to the al
most utter exclusion of the horse.

In the time trial Frank Koons of
Loyeland beat the worlds record
for the fastest mile on a half mile
dirt track, making the mile in 61
and 2-5 seconds. This does not es
tablish any official record, but 1t
does show that there was some speed
at the Saturday races and that the
track they have has been placed in
good condition.
The promoters are to be congratu-
lated on the successful outcome of
their enterprising venture.

Frank Snow was called to Snyder
Monday morning by word that his
father was in very critical condi-

him to see him. We are glad to say
that Mr.. Snow was holding his own.
but he is in critical state yet. and
at his age, and at the beginning OF

Tor recovery is limited. We went
with Mr. Snow and had an opportu-
nifty to visit with the sick man for
few minutes and while the body Is

led in the Civil war still burn in the

WIVES OF FLUTES ARE "HET UP"
OVER THE WASTE OF FOOD

SIlk-StOCkInged LADIES - wives OF
milIionaires - admitted today for
publication, that they are rigidly
cutting down consumption of food
stuffs in their homes in order that the
nations supply of eatables may be
conserved.
Led by Mrs. J. Ogden Armour, wife
of our best-known hog baron, who
says that economy is necessaryS Mrs.
Joseph Cudahy, who has instructed
her servants to waste as little as pos
sibIe, and Mrs. Frederick Countiss,
who says that the swell dinners of
the rich are wrong, wealthy women
of Chicago set an example to their
poorer sisters today.
However, in many of the poverty
stricken homes of the city retrench-
ments were being made because of
the high price of meat and other
foodstuffs. Suffering is especially
bitter in and around the stockyards,
where the male members Of the fam
lily must compete with the Mexicans
and southern negroes for a living,
Both Of these classes were imported
by StoCkyards Trims because Ihey
work for almost nothing.
While the workers are hoping for
better wages to meet the increase in |
the cost Of food, several moves were !
made to stop the kiting of living cost |
Almost at the same moment that |
Mrs. Armour was being quoted by re- |
pOrters on her advice to the poor, her !
husband, who is the greatest trader |
in grain in the world, was being in
vestigated by the federal grand jury
in connection with a plot to boost the |
price of grain on the floor of the |
Board of Trade.
Representatives of the Armour |
Grain Co. were called to the Federal !
building to testify. Pile after pile of !
Board of Trade books were carted |
into the grand jury rooms. The gov
eminent hopes to show that a certain |

A suggestion from one of the
best-known food experts of the counL
try as a baIk to the eVer-increasing
rise in the cost of food was given to-
day. Sol WesteTfeld, vice president
of the National Assn of Retail Gro
GERS, made the following statement:
"Au gambling in foodstuffs should
be prohibited and all sales on the
Board of Trade, except for actual de-
livery, should be stopped and all
trading in futures should be restrict
ed if not prohibited.
Mr.. Westerfeld also denounced
two costly department store habits.
He said the lady who runs downtown
to buy few things in loop stores and
has them sent home adds considera-
bly, to the cost of living. Stores
which draw trade by means of trad
ing stamps also tack their bit to the
price of, things, because every cent
paid for stamps must come from the
purchasers. Westerfeld says that
every bit Of ground should be cult
waited this year.
Rumors of an extra dividend by
stOckyards packing houses forced
the price of their stocks to Jump
overnight. The packing houses have
been making more money in the past
year than ever, before in their his
tory. Swift & Co.'S stock led all
others when it rose to $157 for a
share nQminaIly worth $780, Wilson
and Cudahy were the next best bets.

not reached the younger set of Chi

Burlington, Nov. l2.--Permission to in

than million dollars was asked by the
Winooski Valley Power Co, a subsidiary
of the American Gas Co., at a hearing
Saturday before the public service com
mission at Hotel Vermont The com

the capacity 10000 horsepower.

Rutland's Attitude Toward "Chautau.
qua"

Rutland business men take the only
reasonable and logical course, in decln
ing to guarantee expenses and profits to
the Community Chautauqua, Inc, in
1915
Indeed, the Rutland News is on record
in previous years as pronouncing such
guarantee unreasonable and mbusiness.
like. The Community Chautauqua is one
of 20 more or less corporations in the
country trading on the name Chautau-
qua, which are no more nor less than en-
tertainment bureaus. They have worked
most successfully in practically every
town in the country their scheme of en-
listing a local organization, getting their
expenses and some profits guaranteed and
having their tickets sold by local So
licitors without cost TO them.
The Rutland Business Mems associa
tion and their force of ticket sellers in
1917 put in perhaps $500 worth of time
in the aggregate, and clear Sl6-count
em!-for the Red Cross.
There is no more logic in having local
people sell tickets without remuneration
for this course of entertainment TO pro-
tect the promoters against loss than for
a local theatre manager to attempt to
sponge on the people in exactly the same
way.-Rutland News.

PETITION FOR RELEASE DENIED.
George Duncan Must Stay in Insane
Asylum.

Rutland Nov l2.--The petition of
George w. Duncan of Rutland who was
acquitted some tine ago of the murder
of his wife on the ground that he was
insane, asking that he be released from
the state hospital at Waterbury, was
denied Saturday by Jude Stanley c. viii
son and Duncan was ordered re-commit-
ted to Waterbury under the original CON
dition named by Judge Butler, when
Duncan was acquitted of the murder
charge An indefinite limit has been
placed on the extent of his detention
there.
The hearing on the petition for Dun
cans release was held the first of the
week by Judge Wilson and Assistant
Judges Horton and Hitchcock. At this
time, DIR. w. L. WATSON and DR.. r ].
Allen of the state hospital, testified
that Duncan was sane, but that he was a
dangerous man to be at large, This was
the only expert testimony which was
introduced. No physician was called who
would swear that Duncan should be re-
leased or that he was proper person to
be at large.
