ONE KILLED IN AUTO RACES
Average Sped Of 100 Miles Per
Hour Maintained for Nearly
Three Hours.

Kansas City, Sept. 1S.--Roscoe
Sarles, veteran driver. was killed
eight other drivers and mechani-
clans injured, two dangerously,
and Tommy Milton emerged vic
tor in record time over seventeen
original starters this afternoon,
when Kansas City's new Speed
way was christened with blood.
Sarles died when tire burst
and his machine hurtled over the
north turn fence, falling fifty
feet in a twisted mass OF flames
and steel. c. V. Pickup, aviator,
riding his first race as, "a mechan-
ician, was injured dangerously
when the Durant Special SHOT
off the track.
Jimmy Murphy, Joe Thomas,
Eddie Hearne and Peter De
Paolo figured in sensational acct
dents, which forced their cars
out of the race. Thomas was in
.iured dangerously, but will re-
cover.
Milton's victory came after a
ard-fought race, his time
2 :46 :52.96-establishing rec
ord for the 3OO-mile distance.
Tommy averaged 100 miles an
hour.
Officials of the Speedway as
ISOLATION estimated the crowd at
approximately $1,000. Thou
sands of others witnessed the
race from nearby hills and trees.

THE PLEASANT GAP FAIR
Good Crowds and Fine Exhibits
Make the Affair a Success.

The eighth annual fair of the
Pleasant Gap Fair Association
Thursday and Friday Of last
week was one of the most sue
cessful ever held. Both days the
weather was ideal and Ing
crowds from the surrounding
country as well as Butler, Apple
ton City and Rich Hill attended.
In spite Of the drouth which
prevailed through the. months ri
July and August the exhibits Of
farm and garden produce We're
fine, only the horticulture dis
plays seemed to be cut short, but
that was very creditable. The
display of canned fruit and vege-
tables was one of the best ever
shown in the county. In the tex
tile and culinary departments
there was abundant evidence OF
the superior houscwifely quail
ties OF the Pleasant Gap ladies.
The textile department was filled
with all sorts of fancy needle
work, ranging all the way from
the smallest pieces to bedspreads
and it is entirely beyond a mere
man to write an adequate de-
scription Of their beauties. The,
poultry display, while not large,
contained some fine specimens.
The exhibits of the Bever,
Orchard Grove, Pleasant Ridge,
Happy Hill and Pleasant Gap No.
| schools were very interesting
and reflected great credit on
both the pupils and teachers,
The fair was held in a bcauti
full grove one half mile south OF
Pleasant. Gap store, where every
arrangement had been made for
the comfort and convenience of
those who attended.

New Methodist Church at Adrian
Dedicated.

Last Sunday was big day for
the Methodist people of Adrian
and vicinity, and for all Of the
community. The occasion was
the dedication Of the new Metho-
dist church which was built to
replace the one destroyed by fire
November Goth, 1921, says the
Adrian Journal, -
What made the day more en-
.joyable was the fact that the
money necessary to dedicate the
new building free from debt was
raised in just forty minutes, a
feat that looked almost impos-
sible few days before the time
for dedication. The inclement
weather seemed to be against rails
ing the money but in reality it
was a help rather than him
drance to the work in hand.
The program for the morning
service was well arranged. Ey-
cry moment of the time was deep
ly interesting to the audience.
The musical feature was ex-
cellent.
The choir was composed of ID.
E. Reist, conductor, Mrs. Earl J.
Haas, Miss Mary Wright and
Messrs. Aldon Castor and Earl
Haas, with Mrs. l.. w. Richard
son at the piano, Geo. Herrell,
saxophone and Luther Long,
violin.
The ministers present were
Bishop ,Quayle, DR.. w. W. King,
DR.. w. s. Courtney, Rev, ,Schow-
engerdt, of the Methodist church,
and Rev. Dougherty and Rev. W.
$. Weir, of the Baptist church.
