RED MOKO WINS
THREE STRAIGHT
HEATS in NEWPORT
Fine Racing Before Small
Crowd on the
Speedway

The postponed races of Satur-
day were held Tuesday afternoon
on the Memphremagog ice speed
way which was scrapcd in the
forenoon and was in excellent
condition.
Although the weather conditions
were IDEAL a small crowd turned
, out possibly being caused by so
many people being out to the
early morning fire. There We're
also a lack of horses, evidently
for the same reason.
1t was only the few persistent
followers of the track, who were
on hand to witness the best races
Of the season.
In the class A pace, Red Noko,
driven by Gerow, won three
straight against Little Battistc
driven by Stewart. Little Bat
tistc lost a toe calk early in the
first heat. Harry said in the
third heat Little Battistc seemed
discouraged and did not seem to
try tc win. He said he kneW
that he was discouraged with Red
Moko showing such form.
In class B mixed, Dan Patch
driven by Grav won the only heat
Of that class against Joe McKin-
ney, driven by Mullen in a good
race after Joe Mckinney had
pulled a shoe.
In the class c race Junior VIII
kes driven by Tilton won first,
second and third heats, against
Golden V driven by Coteau The
heats were all close and they are
two fine steppers.

Why Wheat Is Going Up

A writer who seems to know, gives
the following causes for the recent
rise In price of wheat:
Failures of Australia and Argen-
tina to ship us literally as promised
when crop was supposed to be large;
Argentine crop loo million against
early estimates of 225 million. TAX
ing of wheat by Japan, India and ex-
European countries Mt a rate never
expected and without precedent;
Liverpool wheat stocks down to 8OO,-
600 bushels against million bushels
year ago; reduction 30 million in
Canada crop estimates-in short n
general recognition that with Russia
out of production the supply and re-
quirement are so closely balanced
that the lenst failure to come up to
full capacity production in other pro-
ducers means world shortage. Final
