often said of his favorite daughter,

Once when the Glen Arden Hunt was
in n dying condition Miss Hartman
brought fifteen Irish hunters hom Ire
land. AS a result she was made
NJ. +. H-the first feminine master
Of hounds of Orange County. And it
was said that under her whip not only
the hounds but the members Of the club
wheeled into line.
She was one Of the leaders in the
Tuxedo Colony. where horses are w0r-
SHIPPED. Her horses were shown in
Madison Square Garden, Tuxedo and
Newport shows.
Even her romance was called one of
the turf and on bark" She married
Il. Penn Smith. Jr.. one of the best
known horseinen in the country, who is

blooded horses are shown. lie is a
crack polo player. and the youngest

he was twenty five years old rs a re-

Philadelphia and New York and they

siOns.
Although efficiency" has never been
the theme Of romantic poetry or prose.
1t was the basis of at least two mar
riagcs in the Hartman household, both
OF which contained their elements of rO-
nance, too. Carols father was dead
when she married. but she clung to his
standard Of efficiency" In choosing her
husband, as she had made it her guide
in everything else.
"Efficiency' was Mr.. Harrimans
acid test. Both his wife and daughter
want Carols husband to fall short OF
the mark.
'Ihe man YOU marry" he had told
her, must be efficient In whatever he
has undertaken. That is the most i'm
portant consideration. lie must be a
gentleman, true sportsman, and one
who has not been married before. Money
and social position are important, but
not the most vital considerations.
And the man Carol Hartman mar
ricd was the embodiment of efficiency on
horses or with them. She knew him
as skilled rider without fear, Judge
OF pace and form, and man who had
made 1t his business to know all there
was to know about horses. SO 1t was
that after her marriage her interest in
horses increased rather than decreased.
Mrs. Clark is just as excellent a
judge OF horses as is her husband. She
owns a stable of about fifteen runners
ana other horses in common with her
husband, besides those she has in the
Syndicate stables.

Economy the Motive
Behind NOueL TenturO

DESPITE the fact that both
are Immensely wealthy, it Das
the confederation Of economy that
impclled Mrs. Smith and Mrs.
Clark to undertake their Denturs.
"Why," they inquired of their
husbands, "should you continue
to spend $1,000 for a horse,
sohen you can buy one for $500
and get just as good results?"
Whereupon the husbunds--the
wretehes!-laughed gently, but
none tho less Fundamentally.
"A Absurd" they said.
That ,cas too much. Without
discussing the matter further the
ladies entered into an agreement
to pool their resources and prac-
tice what they preached, Nth
an eye to proving the soundness
of their theories.
The success uhich attended
their Efforts is attested by the
fact that the humble yearlings
which they purchased and
trained Won three frsts, several
seconds and thirds, and aOide-
spread rcnoun rithin the short
space of one racing season.

Housekeeping and Horses
Combined in Education

And she also learned every necessary
detail Of housekeeping. To test her
skill her father once told her to run
one Of the big Hartman houses for a
week, entertain u certain number of
guests and spend only y certain sum
of money in 30 doing. Here also she
came through with flying colors.
Efficiency was Harriman's max
i'm. and the standard to which his
daughter Carol measured up. 1t was
this standard of his which enabled him
to take advantage of his opportunity,
which came in the financial panic Of
1903. Through his skillful stock mn-
nipulation he bought up railroads cheap.
and by craft, combat and every means
secured the power which his soul loved.
1t was once said of hlm: 'When
the Hartman mind IS once made up,
that settles it. Panics may follow,
boards of directors may be disrupted,
officers may resign, financial powers at
large may band against him, law may
deny him, the money forces of the
world may say him nay-but nothing
matters. Isolated, regardless, persist

upon his way, caring neither for

1t was this mind which enabled him
to rise in ten years from obscurity to
the control Of railways extending from

of vessels which sailed the seven seas.

The good job included teaching
her everything there was to know
about horses, and with unlimited
means to indulge her fondness for
matters equine Mrs. Smith became
an expert horsewoman.
Her husband comes Of line of
ardent horse-lovers, his father, r.
Penn Smith, of STAFFORD, being one
Of the best judges of horsef1esh in
this country and England.
Mrs. Clark, who is the wife Of the
multi-millionaire sportsman, is also
an expert horsewoman.
The two undertook their venture,
which is commanding the attention
Of the racing world, as the result of
q statement they made half jokingly,
half in earnest. Their friends
laughed at them. So did their hus-
bands.
"How funny" they said when told
Of the pin-money plan. "Where did
you ever get such an idea?"
That was too much, of course. The
ire of the sportswomen being
aroused, they promptly offered to
back up their ideas.
"Well show you," they promised.
And they began to "show them"
last year at Saratoga, where the con-
versation that started it all took
place. Both Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Clark had been buying horses and
paying about $4,000 each for them.
at is ridiculous to pay that much
for a horse when you could get
cheaper horses-and race them sue
eessfully, too," said their wives.
And right there was when the
laughter sounded and where the
women made their compact. They
agreed to pool certain amount Of
money with which they were to pur-
chase yearlings, develop ana tram
them, race them and then sell them
before the yearly stock sale on
August /.
They bought them-eight horses
Tor about $4,000. They secured J.
Simon Healy to train them. And
they raced them to first place three
times and won several seconds and
thirds.
The only part of the bargain
which they have yet to fulfill is to
sell them, and this will take place at
the Empire City track on July 27,
the last day on which they can be
sold in New York before the year.

Forced Moulting-Many of the hens
on a general farm are forced into a
molt during this season by change
in the method of feeding. Keep a
good mash before the laying hens at

Timely Reminders

Peach Tree Borer-If not OBJ

benzene should be purchased now in
readiness for the treatment Of peach
trees on or after September 10th.
Virtually all of the borers can be ex.
terminated with the one treatment if
the chemical is properly applied. Con-
suit your county agent.
Corn for Silage-The greatest yield
Of total digestible nutrients is OBJ
tanned from corn that is cut for silage
when the kernels have become well
dented. Be sure and tramp the silage
thoroughly around the edge of the silo
SO as to prevent unnecessary spelling.
Moisture in Corn-It is always a
wise provision to add water to silage
when it is stored if there is any likeli-
hood that the corn is low in moisture
content. Dry weather, frosting and
over-maturity all tend to reduce moist
ure in corn.
New Oats and Colic-A dangerous
form of collie is liable to result if care
is not taken in feeding new oats to
horses. The oats should be introduced

Clearing State of Bootleggers

In his report for August to Prohi-
bition Commissioner Haynes, Wash
ington, Robert B. Elliott, Federal Di-
rector Of Prohibition for Delaware,
says "the intensive war waged upon
violators during the past month has
forced the majority of illicit dealers,
especially smugglers in this State to
seek more lucrative fields"
ave have fewer complaints today
than perhaps at any time in the his
tory of this Office" says Director Ell
lott. Things are pronouncedly quiet
throughout the State and there is
practically no rum-running traffic
along the Delaware coast. While the
usual attempt may be made to revive
such traffic within the next month or
so the recent campaign has had an
almost blanketing effect, and any new
turn of affairs on the part of bootleg
gers will make little Roadway. The
ones who are interested in seeing the
prohibition laws enforced in this State
have every reason to feel optimistic,
as it is apparent to all that conditions
are improving and there is an in
creased sentiment in favor of strict
enforcement"

Proper Care of Car
Will Prolong Life

"The life of an automobile depends
considerably upon the care which it
receives" "Most of the motorcar
trouble can be traced to putting off
adjustments that can be regularly at
tended to. Carelessness of the owner
has been the cause in many cases;
hence he is to blame for the short
service of his car.
proper care of the car should be-
gin with the purchase. Right then
the owner should start his motoring
career with the fixed idea that his
automobile is piece of machinery,
subject to wear and requiring just as
much attention as you would bestow
on dynamo, a grandfather's clock or
a radio outfit.
keeping this in mind will offset
the common impression that many
motorists possess. Not few drivers
have sentimental thoughts concerning
their cars, believing that they will
always stand up without proper at
tention. Such men are usually disil-
lusioned just when the services of
their cars mean most to them.
Regular attention and care pro-
long the service of the car to a vastly
greater extent than periodical COM
plete overhaulings. Get the habit OF
inspecting your car before making a
trip, just the same as the farsighted
horseman will rub his hand over his
animal before mounting.
"A glance under the hood with the
motor running, attention to any sound
not in tune, measurement Of gas
water and oil, test of the wires and
tires will be we'll worth the slight de-
lay in starting. Such an inspection
of vital parts will offset unnecessary
annoyances and greater delay later
on the trip."-Ex.

Straw Destroyed
At Iron Hill
Work Of Neighbors, Local and Elk
ton F;remen, Saved Charles
Walton's Property

Only the fact that wind was blow
ing the flames away from the build
ings and the prompt action of neigh
bors, and fremen of Elkton fire de-
partment and the Aetna Hose, Hook
and Ladder Company, on Thursday
night, saved the property Of Charles
Walton, Iron Hill.
The result was the loss of about so
tons of straw. The fire was discover
ed shortly before seven o'clock and
the alarm was spread.
Neighbors formed a bucket brigade
and the fire companies of Newark and
Elkton were notified of the fire and
asked to send assistance. The fire.
men rushed to the scene and took up
the work which the neighbors were so
nobly carrying on.
An idea of the good work that the
people did in saving all the buildings
on the farm can be ascertained from
the fact that the straw was stored
only about ten feet from large frame
barn. Yet not one building was
burned, although the volunteers had
hard time keeping the flames from
the barn. After the arrival of the
firemen all fear of the buildings catch
ing fire was done away with.
The loss suffered by Mr.. Walton
was about $1,000. The straw was the
| yield for the year.
Mr.. Walton stated today that h,
wished to thank the neighbors ant
firemen for their active work.
