RACE RUN IN RECORD TIME
Horsemen Consider FourYear. old's
Feat One of Most Remarkable
in Track History

Saratoga, Aug 2.-Racing be
gar at the historic race track hero
this afternoon with record breaking
performance before a record weekday
crowd Sir Barton, the renowned four
year-old son of Star Shoo', returned
to the form which made HIM the great
est thoroughbred in the world last year
and romped off with the Saratoga
Handicap. Without doing his best he
defeated such great horses as Wildair,
Ex erminator, Mad Halter and The
Porter and covered the one mile and
a quarter route in the phenomenal
time CT 2:01 As. This time is two
tifths of a second faster than the old
track figures established by Roamer
in 1913 and is the fastest in the his
tory of racing, with the exception Of
the two minute mark, which was cred
tied to Whisk Broom at Belmont
Park when the official timer was al
legged to have judged he finish from
the wrong place.
Sir Barton won the stake by three
lengths, eased up with Extern nator
second, five lengths ahead of Wildair.
The porter was nearly a sixteenth OF
a mile further back and Mad Halter
was S III further in the ruck. Before
the field was called to the post all Of
Sir Bartons opponents We're consid-
cred truly great handicap horses, but
when they finished they resembled a
quartet of Wedgewoods following
home an Inchcape. They were the
worst beaten set of good horses seen
on a Metropolitan track in many
years All Of them were staggering,
while Sir Barton was fighting hard to
80 on.
Sir Barton carried 129 pounds and
gave away from three to e'even
pounds.
He ran The Porter dizzy in the

PROF|TEER|NG IS
DENIED BY BARNES
United States Wheat Director Is.
sues Statement in Regard to
the Matter.

New York. June 4.--lulius Barnes,
United States wheat director, stated
Yesterday that there could not have been
profiteering between the farmer and the
consumer under the Food Administra-
ton and the wheat director because -four
and bread prices did not keep pace with
the advance in the price of wheat.
Bread prices to the consumer in the
United States have advanced only 100
per cent since 1918. while i'll the same
period retail flour advanced lbs per cent
and heat 200 per cent.
These statistics are included In letter
sent to the United States Railroad Labor
Board by MIR. Barnes, protesting against
statements charging protitecring in flour
made Ivy W Jett l.auck. economist for
the Railroad Brothcrhoods in recent
report 10 the board
Mr.. Lauck asserted. IN statements to
the board that one-thiri OF the cost OF
-four to the consumer represents profits
and that two-thirds of tins profit may be
laid to profiteering, carried su under
government supervision.
Being obviously based on the report OF
the Federal Trade Commission on Flour
Milling and ,Iobbmg. which appeared in
April, 1918. Mr. Barnes calls the atten-
ton of the board to the fact that the
Lauck ANALYSIS i drawn from statement
OF conditions which existed before the war
situation created under the Food Adj
ministration andthe authority Of thewheat
director.
lie also points out that there are several
serious errors in Mr.. l.auck ; report.
Aside from these, he directs the attention
ol the Labor Board to the fact that the
true measure OF whether, under the Food
Administration and Wheat Director,
profits and profits were piled up
against the consumer. IS IN the relation
between the price of wheat and the price
Of bread.
Figures in Mr.. Barnes statement show
concusively that -four and bread prices
did not Keep pace with the advance in the
price 81 wheat, therefore there could
not have been profiteering between the
farmer and the consumer under the Food
Administration and the Wheat Director.
The following tables on average prices
of wheat -four and bread in the United
States for the period from 1918 to 1920
were submitted by Mr.. Barnes:

Enforcement Oh1cers,

W. Truxton Boyce, Federal Prohibition
Commissioner was highly elnted today
upon learning Of the action Of Attorney
General Palmer. clearing the way for the
enforcement of the dry.lnw In the action,
Mr.. Palmer has sent instructions 90 all
Federal district attorneys that their mp
proyal is not required for the issuance Of

not an Internal revenue aw and expressly
authorizes prohibition aefnts TO swear out

has been no friction between his office and

Closing hymn, Sweet the Moments, Rich in Blessing Offer prayer for Gods mercy and love to rest upon all during the epidemic. Benediction.

think, my friends, you who stand out side the church, and blame her tol inconsistencies, and tell of her short comings, and point out tEe corrup tions that are in her history, and that are in her present life today-do you really believe that there is an earn est man in the church that does not know the church's weakness and faults just as well as you do?
 "AlI the more I will put my life into that church. all the more I will drink the strength that she can give to me, and make what humble con tribution to her I can bring of the earnestness and faithfulness of my life. Come into the church of Jesus Christ. There is no other body on the face of the earth that represents what she represents-the noble des- tiny of the human soul, the great capacity of human faith. the mex. haustible and unutterable love of God. the Christ, who stands to mani fest them ali"
