RACING
WILL Be POPULAR
SPORT THIS YEAR

Automobile racing, which has prob
ably proved the greatest crowd draw
ing sport ever devised will be even
more popular during the season to
come, in the opinion of Cliff Durant,
Pacific coast champion, who is rated rs
one of the most daring pilots in the
business. The millionaire whirlWind on
wheels j salready tuning up his Chev-
rolet for a busy summer session. and
his pet ambition is that the Indianap-
oils Decoration day event classc of the
speed world. will be revived so he can
enter his car in the blue ribbon sweep
stakes.
Durant bases his opinion that racing
interest will be increased on the fact
that the entire country has become
mechanically inclined during the past
year and a half Even before Americas
entry into the world war motors and
their intricaSies were a fairly common
topic of conversation. but for the most
part women did not participate in the
subject. Then along came the struggle
to obliterate the hun, and members Of
the fair sex were called on to master
the automobile as part of their Dit at
home
4 There are no better 'sportmen' in
the world than women, said Durant.
/ once they get interested in anything
their enthusiasm is far Greater than
/ that of men. and they 90 at their OBJ
ject of interest with real zeal. learning
the ms and outs and the finer points
Of any game as mere man cannot.
With their increased knowledge OF
mechanics they are now motor enthu-
siasts. and for that reason they are
sure to be racing 'fannettes' of the eN-
IRENE type With their husbands and
brothers already interested, and with
the women supporting the game with
all their hearts and souls, it looks like
the speed snort is in for a wonderful
revival
Since he won his Pacific coast title
at Tacoma last July by establishing a
western record of 80 miles an hour
average, Durant has been called on but
once to defend his laurels in spite u
always being open to defies from those
who aspire to his crown. This was at
Fresno last month. when he drove his
Chevrolet TO the finish ahead of A f
Patterson. the Stockton pilot who
challenged him to a 20-mile race.

FATE Of CHATEAU
TH|ERRY HUNG ON
ONE MOTOR TRUCK

The victory of Chateau Thierry, that
furious engagement which turned the
tide of the war forever in favor of the
allies, was made possible through the
performance of a single motor truck
How this came about is related by
Captain Guy A. Whitcomb Of the motor
transport corps:
THE marines, who were smashing
the last German offensive, were run
ming short of machine gun ammunl-
ton" said Captain Whitcomb. Their
commander telephoned back for more.
The motor transport commander called
for four volunteers from among his
80 trucks. and every driver volunteered.
He chose four, loaded the trucks
with $4,000 rounds apiece of machine
gun bandOleer ammunition, and they
set out, four trucks made in Detroit,
turned out of the Packard factory just
q few months before. Three of them
were caught in the German barrage
and their cargOes blown up and their
drivers killed. The fourth made his
way through with the priceless 50.0Jc
rounds that put the finishing touch
on the American victory and saved the
day at Chateau Thierry.
The driver made his way back to
the transport park and reported in
IHeSe WORDS otIS cant ANUeIStn re-
ports, sir the delivery of $4,000 rounds
and requests permission to make an
other trip. But his captain noticed the
blood pouring from the sergeants
wounds and ordered him to the hos
pital. there the brave Anderson died
10 hours later from II shrapnei
wounds"
Captain Whitcomb said that II per
cent of Pershing's entire force IS
classed in the motor transport and that
the number of trucks under ,ne Ameri-
can flag overseas would be hardly be

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
viii Prove a Big Factor In Win
ming the War.

Reports to hand indicate that West
ern Canada has vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
last year. The splendid open fall of
1917, gave better opportunity for fall
blowing than for some years. Work
in the fields was almost continuous
until the end of November. In fact, in
the neighborhood of Pincher Creek,
Alberta there was sufficient mild
weather in January of this year to
permit farmers to pillow, and many
took advantage Of 1t. A great many
Americans owning land in Canada
moved up last year, and this has also
helped to increase the acreage. They
came into possession of the land at
prices varying from $500 to $1,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
Of wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre, with
set price of 1921 a bushel, they could
join production and patriotism to-
gether with big margin of profit.
The Post-Intelligencer Of Seattle,
Wash, gives very conservative state
ment of the agricultural development
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In Its issue of December II, 1917, it
SAYS
"Since the beginning Of the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
the reports of the Dominion authori-
ties, and has been almost entirely made
up of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
Whatever may be said of wheat
culture as profitable avocation in
ordinary years, since the beginning of
the war 1t has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
81 for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation of soil and climate are from
IL to % bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, ar 81 per bushel,
brings in these war times a reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture
was fast being abandoned by farmers
who worked intelligently for results
on the right side of the ledger. 1t has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business 1t was generally
corn hogs, cattle and diversified farm
ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas in turn, as their prairies
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid off
- mortgages with corn and hogs.
4 Var is thus bringing temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many of the ranchers OF Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.
1t may be pointed out, however, that
the growing Of wheat is not the only
inducement which is leading settle
ment to Canadian lands. Low taxation,
favorable agricultural climate, and
profitable prices not only for grain but
for hogs, cattle and all forms Of farm
produce all contribute their share
toward the rapid settlement Of the fer
tile lands OF Western Canada. AID

AIRCRAFT ACCEPTED
sEAPLANEs ARE SHIPPED TO
FIGHTING FORCES TO USE IN
HUNTING SUBMARINES.
Liberty Motor Success Attracts Air
Experts of France and England,
Which May Adopt Type.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington first fight
ing seaplane,> equipped with liberty
motors, has been tried out and ac-
cepted, it was learned, and several of
the craft are being delivered for the
use OF the naval air service. They
are the advance guard of big fleet
which will be added to the forces en-.
gagged in submarine hunting in the
war zone. A second type of fighting
plane for the American army, known
as the Bristol model, also has reached
the production stage, and considera-
BILE number will become available in
the present month. Still another type,
a two-seated machine, also is being
manufactured.
Construction details of these planes
never have been published. 1t is
known, however, that the seaplanes
substantially are similar to the Brit
ish flying boats and are equipped with
two liberty mot ofs, which provide ap-
proximataly 700 horse power to drive
the ship. This is understood to be
much in excess of the power used in
similar British craft, and their per-
Torrance is expected 20 be better pro-
portionately. In this connection 1t
was learned that engineers of the Air
craft Board have overcome that last
minor defect of the liberty motors
having to do with the fabrication sys-
tenn. Several motors taken haphazard
from the quantity production supply
have been operated continuously for
many hours without developing any
trouble.
Officials in close touch with pro-
gress being made on production of
fighting planes in this country are
satisfied that the output will tax ship
ping facilities before July. when de-
livery in quantities in France has been
scheduled.
1t is anticipated that large number
of foreign planes, particularly British,
will be using Liberty motors during
the present year. Steps were taken
here recently to expedite the delivery
of motors for British use.
