Luck Falls to Duncan and
Parker in Cheyenne Race

Luck played into the hands of
G. M. Duncan and Roland Parker
after all and they were notified
that they were counted third in
the Cheyenne race, thereby re-
ceiving 500. Theirs was the
only Ford car in the race and the
Buick which beat them into Chey-
enne was ruled out because it
proved to be a racer. The rules
were that the race should be reg
ular stock cars and it was found
that the Buick had been ASSEMBLE
ed with part taken from a racing
car and was thus ruled out. An
accident to one of the gasoline
tanks caused a fifty minute delay
at TT. Collins for Duncan and
Parker or undoubtedly they
would have won second money.
According to their running time
they made the trip from Denver
to Cheyenne in three hours and
20 minutes while the second
car made it in three hours and
8 minutes.
The iron strap which riveted
the gas tank at one end broke
and the vibration soon punched
a hole in the bottom of the tank
and the oil ran out a mile and
half this side of TT Collins.
They managed to borrow n few
pints of gasoline from a Ford car
along the way and by turning the
tank with the good end down Mr..
Parker held it in this position
until they got to Collins where a
new tank was purchased and a
mechanic was employed to strap
it on. This required so minutes.
They had been ahead of the
Buick car several times and
would have gotten into the can
yon, which is twenty-five miles
lorg ahead of it, and which would
have given them a great adyan-
tage had it not been for the mis-
hap. AS it was they were very
lucky, having no tire trouble or
other accidents Of any kind and
the hundred amply repays them
for their trouble. We under
stand also that ten gallons gas
oline and box seats at the Den
ham were thrown in AS embell-
ishmcnts
Later developments have in.
troduced a new phase of the sit
uation and the prize money is
being held up by the Buick own
ers who have put up a bond and
have demanded that the Ford
car be taken apart and examined
for the detection of questionable
parts. Our boys say il will

Splendid Turnout
At War Council

There was a splendid repres
entation of the farmers of JEFF.
ferson county as well as the bust.
ness men of the county in at.
tendance at the wsr council at
the courthouse in Golden Tues
day evening, Almost 100 citi-
ZenS were present to exchange
ideas and listen te Mr.. Cornell,
the state organizer. Arvada and
vicinity was well represented.
The secretary reported that there
were only two precincts in the
county that had not responded
to the call for organization.
Chairman Broad made a little
talk in which he mated that I'VE
are walking untrod peths' and
must therefore yroceed cautious
ly.
Mr.. Cornell arrived a few min
utes late and was soon introduc,
ed. He was listened to With
wrapt attention while he unfold
ed the plans proposed by Mr..
Hoover TO control the distribu-
ton and price of food, protect
ing the producer and the consum-
er at the same time, by eliminat-
ing the middle man. The middle
men, he says, Will be hard to
combat, as they will make a hard
fight and use every known
scheme to their crafty minds to
defeat the purpose of the war
council to protect the people.
Mr.. Cornell eulogized Mr..
Hoover, saying that three years
ago he was scarcely known ex-
cept as a civil engineer of mark
ed ability in his line and that at
tbs beginning of Germany's OPP
preston of Belgium, he, with
several others, had volunteered
his services to go over to Belg-
ium and assist in the distribution
Of the food supplies sent over by
this country.
In this capacity he soon was
was recognized as a man of ex-
ceptional ability and was made
the head of the American Bel
gum Relief Bureau. When the
United States broke off diplomat
ic relations with Germany. he re-
turned to this country and was
again chosen by the President to
be the head of the food commits
sion. This position he accepted
without salary and the plans
proposed are for the organization
Of states and counties for the
purpose Of determining the re
sources of esch state and each
county and to as far as possible
have each state first supply it's
own needs by local distribution
and the surplus then could be
shipped into other states and
when all are supplied the sur
plus would then be shipped to
the army in Europe and the Al
lies.
Mr.. Cornell stated that in most
counties IN the state, the cooper
alton among the farmers and the
the people in all walks OF life had
been fine. In some localities
where help is scarce some Of the
! business houses are closed GER
tain hours thru the day and the
clerks and proprietors go out and
help harvest the crops.
He further stated that accord
ing to the present outlook Colo
RADIO would have enough Of food
supplies, not only to feed herself
but to keep our army in France
for one year.
After his remarks which were
greeted from time to time with
hearty applause, a general dis
cussion of the committees took
place.
