RACING IN NEW NGLAND

Just as the radiator Of tho car would
reach about the rear door of the STAN
ley on the left hand side. he would
open the throttle and the Stanley
would dart away like living thing.
He could see the man behind laugh
at the innovation. Ono of these cars
gave lin long chase extending over
something like tive miles. AS for me-,
could see n $4,000 Or n $4,000 fine
being paid, but at that early hou,:

BACKING OUT.

We were no longer on the good mar,
n1shWay, but could readily imagine
phat we were in Virginia. Mr.. Jack.
son buoyed us up with false hop y
ana finally made UP mind to en-.
quire upon my own hook. A white
girl IN front of house some distance
away on road which Mr.. Jackson
stated led to the place informed ue
that we were on the wrong road. To
must back out. This reminded me of
a story Mr.. Hughes had related jus.
before leaving Springfield.
A farmer, upon the urgent request
OF his wife bought Ford car. Ho
went out driving with his wife and
she was the envy OF all Of the neigh
bors or rather she imagined' hersse, (
to be. In going down road, they
came to narrow covered bridge. A
farmer with q load OF hay had enter
cd the other end and they met about
midway Of the bridge. One or the
other had to back out.

THAT THIRTY-TIVE MILE TRIP

Mr.. Jackson stated that tho dis
lance was only 35 miles and the roads
were fine. Later developments showed
That his statement was subjeca to i'm
portant notifications both as to dis
lance and condition. 1T was a pleasant
trip. This welt-known Mohawk Trail is
the pride of the New England peopl..
Tho Stanley steamer was running fine.
The steady pull Of the engine and the
high pressure Of steam was all that
the heart could wish. 1t Is needless to
describe the beautiful scenery CHI
route or to tell of the fine roads or to
comment upon the make and speed of
the cars we passed. The speed limit
was not being considered. We wero
climbing steadily. The speedometer was
In excellent condition. 1t had passe 1

What's Wrong on the Farm.

Recent statistics reveal that only A per cent of our inhabitants now live in rural districts. What's the matter with all the back-to-the-farm movements? While a great deal may be said in favor of the beauties of nature, most of the poetry about babblins brooks and the birdies seems to be poured forth amid the glories of a steam-heated flat.
