WON LEGION CUP, .I75 MILES AN HOUR.
Llcyd Bertrand Drove Airplane at Terrific Speed Before s5.000 People at Kansas City Meet-T Trophy
 and S3D00.

Kansas City, Nov. s.-Flying before throng of forty-fve thousand per- sons yesterday afternoon. Lloyd Der trand, flying a Balilla-Ansaldo air plane. for the Aero Import Corpora ton of New York shrieked his way to victory in the American Legion derby at the terrific speed of l75 miles an hour.
 To say that Bertrand shrieked his way to victory is no exaggeration, for as his plane flew down the course, made it's turn around the pylon on the field and again sped away on it's straight away, it whistled and moaned as the rushing wind passed thru it's wires and radiator. It's peculiar shrieking sound was warning to the spectators that it was coming iong be- fore it reached the field. The shriels eliminated as it shot upward and banked for it's turn around the pylOn, only to die out as 1t gradually raced away from the field.
 Flew a Beautiful Race.
 His 400 H. F. 12-cylinder Cur tiss motor functioning perfectly, Ber- trand flew a beautiful race. On the straight-aways he piloted his machine only high enough to keep over the tree tops around the course. His turns were made at each of the three pylons perfectly, throwing his plane into an almost vertical bank at each turn, he passed outside the py- Ions only far enough to insure against his cutting corners.
 The course was TIE miles around the three pylons. One lap was trav- eled by the fast-moving machine in 6 minutes.
 Tired and bespattered with oil and grease, Bertrand taxied his plane on- to the line in front of the spectators on the east side of the field. His time for the 175-mile flight was 60 minutes, 15 2-5 seconds. He had flown at a rate of nearly three miles minute. He won the clubs $2500 trophy and $3000 in cash.
 Piloting an army DeHaviland plane, Lieut.. j.. D. Givens, stationed at Post Field, Ok, finished second in the race, just SIX minutes and 0ne-fifth second behind Bertraud
 The whole race was pretty one to watch. Some of the machines flew so low that, had their motors stopped, the result would have been severe accident.
 Of the thirteen machines that started the race twelve finished the entire course. One of the army planes dropped out with a missing motor on the fifth lap.

INDIAN SUMMER QUITS MENA
 Cold Wind Drives Popular Guest Southward-Hunter Rejoice.

Indian Summer. which has been spending season in Mena and enter taining everybody, was given orders to leave Tuesday and departed hur- riedly during the night. A cold wind and frosty temperatures that came blowing in from the north caused the sudden departure of the autumnal visitor. Along with the clustering northern visitors came a short but heavy downpour of rain, which effec- tually squelched the dust nuisance on Mena streets. Tho somewhat cool on Wednesday morning. local residents were able to breathe without absorb ing a lot of restless real estate. The change in temperatures is expected to be more market before the week is over. There has been an increased de- mand for stoves and fuel and heavier clothing, but hunters are not con- blaming, as they say the near-winter weather will bring the ducks and geese to local waters.

future. which is instinctive in an of us. He is no mean hypnotist and en- deavors to put caution to sleep and by suppression of all conflicting im- pulses and ideas intensity the pas sion for quick gain. His propaganda is alluring, but there is enticement also in other instincts, in self -preser- vation, in security, in retaining what one has. These are also primary human instincts and are capable of being played on effectively, if one can get the knack of it.

 CAROLINE PEAT LAND BURNING
ast Acreage Practically Destroye,
 for Cultivation.

Portsmouth, Va, Nov. 4.-Hun lreds of acres of peat soil farm land in the neighborhood of Moyock, N. O.. have been destroyed by fires in the last several weeks, according to re- ports brought here today.
 Fires spreading from Dismal Swamp got into the peat soil, and field after field of cultivated land was de- vastated, the flames in many places eating down to the clay snbsoil, ten feet under the surface
 The fires still were burning today and had advanced to within a mile o1 the village of Moyock. The burned section will be useless for cultivation md probably will become one of the numerous lakes which dot the Dismal Swamp, reminders of fires in times past.
