PORTER TRACK

Racing fans of the Calumet region
who love speed and lots of il Will have
their mania gratihed this summer by
a series of sensational motorcycle
races which J.. L. Leech. the Ham
mond motorcycle man is. promoting
The races will mark the rejuvenation
Of the old Mineral Springs race course
at Porter which has lain idle for a
number of years.
Nj. Leech has just closed a contract
for the Porter track for the season.
1t is a one and one-eighth mile track.
the largest known within a radius Of
100 miles. All OF the tracks now US
ed in this part OF the country aEe half
or three-quarter mile and no races
sanctioned by the Motorcycle & Allied
Trades Association can be held on
them.
The rules of'the NJ. & T. A. require
that tracks beyone mile or larger. Mr..
Leech is now having the famous race
course placed in readiness for the
first meet which will be Sunday. June
20.
The track will be banked heavily
for motorcycles on the curves and the
bleachers will be erected at once. These
will be built so that they can be COW
cred and made into a grand stand early
in the season. Already he has ~receiv-
ed encouragement from a number or
well known racers and it is assured
that at least fifteen entries will be
fled for the first event. Six are ex-
pected from Hammond n some Of the
fastest factory riders Of the country
will be on hand.
The track is eighty feet wide. This
Will accommodate almost any number
OF single entries and five or six side
car outfits can start abreast.
Speed is the thing we are after"
said Mr.. Leech today. I'm fixing the
track so that a rider can open his
throttle wide and never shut down for
curves or anything until the race is
finished. 1t will be a case of the fast
est machin winning" The second
race will be the Fourth of July event |
on Monday, July 5. Special transpor-

THE TIMBER FAMINE.

The Literary Digest for
September 18TH devotes a
number of pages to this sub
ject to show that the timber
of the country, as a whole, is
being used five times as fast
as it is being produced.
This statement is probably
an exaggeration, but there is
good ground for the belief
that we are using up lumber
two or three times as fast as
we are producing it.
1t was claimed that creation
OF forest reserves would keep
up the lumber supply, but the
prediction is not borne out BY
the IdCIS.
During the past year a CO.
operative policy has been
worked out in the western
states to unite all interests,
state, federal and private, for
replanting the burnt and
logged-off areas.
Such a policy, combining
the industry of owners of pri-
vate timber lands with stat
and federal forestry depar,
ments, in one great move
ment for reforestation, woull

Senator Capper Calls Captain Kidd
Saint Beside Sugar Profiteer

Washington, April 26.-- In his
sweeping Indictment Of sugar prof
teers. in the Senate Saturday Senator
Capper of Kansas, said:
"For years the sugar interests have
annually and shamelessly and openly
robbed American housewives during
the canning season. They have, with
their extorVionate charges as regu-
larly blighted the poor family's only
hope of putting up and storing away
cheap and wholesome supply of
fruits and vegetables for winter. Every
principle of healthful living demands
just these things in the family diet.
But the sugar trust is allowed to prey
on the health and welfare of this ma
ton every year in the canning season
that it may enrich itself further by
profits running high in the hundreds
of millions. The people are helpless;
there is no real substitute for sugar.
1t is piracy so colossal and SO criminal
that Captain Kidd and all the famous
pirates of history become Sunday
school characters by comparison. How
long is this government going to
stand for it?'
