should prove one of the best yet

The other half of the twin bill is
scheduled to be a 10-round melee

and Leo Higgins Of Camp Dodge,
formerly of Davenport. Higgins is
a we'll built lad and able to with
stand much punishment, but supe-

DariO Resta is the popular favor
tie in the fourth annual auto derby
handicap at 100 miles at Speed way
park, Chicago, on Saturday after
noon. The allowance of 80 seconds
over Ralph De Palma, who goes
from scratch, is believed to be sufii-

1915-1916 get so far out in front
that he cannot be caught.
Resta, too, will have a start of

is generally believed among the
racing fans that milford is the man
who will have to be beaten. "Smil-

there is Arthur Duray, the famous
French speed demon, who is back
in the game after three and a half
years fighting against the Germans.
Duray will have Is seconds the best

Resta is doubly anxious to win
the derby this year He was the
victor in 1915 and again in 1916.
Last year he did not compete. A
win this year will give him the ST.

the Speedway association.
All roads will lead to Chicago
Saturday. Hundreds of mail orders
for tickets have been received and
filled and thousands more have been

There is enough free parking
space for several thousand cars in

are also selling as low as 81 for
the first time in the history of the

When Starter Fred j. Wagner
sends the drivers on their way in

Nick Altrock has committed
many jokes on the ball field, but
none to equal the one he pulled at
the expense of the Detroit Tigers
the other day. The Washington
comedian stepped out on the slab
and licked Hughey Jennings men

test. The laugh certainly WASH t
on Nick, who hadn't pitched a
game in two years, and who was
regarded as absolutely through as
pitcher. Nick gave up only
eight hits, famed two batters and
issued only one pass. The chances
are he Will be used often this seas

Church Social.

On last Thurday evening at
U. S. A. church the members of
both the u S. A., and Christian
Sunday schools met in most
enjoyable social,
They had a very delightful pro-
gram. recitations, music and
songs, closing with Bible con-
test, enjoyed by all. After
which there was organized a
most promising Union Christian
Endeavor. We were delighted
to enroll 80 members and more
delighted to learn Sunday night
that we had grown to GO. At
the close of the contest delight
ful refreshments were served.
The Endeavor met with good
program Sunday night at the
U. S. A. church and will meet
