lice Chief Tracy.
While driving home from White River
Junction early one morning this week,
Eroy Nj. Wood, n chauffeur for the
Estey Organ Co., living at 16 Vernon
street was stopped near Westminster,
on the main highway, by two men who
afterwards proved TO be Chief of Police
Charles Tracy of Bellows Falls and an
other officer of the same town. The Off
GERS had in charge Hudson coupe which
was stationed beside the road and which
they had been unable TO start. Chief
Tracy asked Mr. Wood if the latter
could start the Hudson as the key to
the starting lock was missing. After an
examination Mr.. Wood found an addi-
tional switch near the floor of the car,
and after closing it, he succeeded in
starting the motor.
Chief Tracy then requested Mr.. Wood
10 drive the officers car, which was a
Buick, back to Bellows Falls and the
two officers followed, one driving Mr.
Woods Chevrolet and the other the
Hudson. Upon arriving at the police
station, the chief asked Mr.. Wood if
he would like to know the reason for all
the secrecy. ana upon Mr., Woods as
sent he said that the officers had been
stationed on the road looking for an
automobile which had been stolen.
While they were lying in wait the Hud-
son coupe came along. and the officers
asked the driver to stop. Instead, the
driver stepped on the gas and a merry
chase took place, the officers following
in their Buick in close order. Several
times the driver of the Hudson manipu-
lated his car so as to try to ditch the
Buick. and finally, when the unknown
men realized that it was only ques-
ton of time when they would be cap
tured they slowed down their car and
iumped out. one taking to the tall woods
TO the right and the other making for the
cornfield mt the left The officers stopped
and upon examining the Hudson they
brought to light over $50 quart bottles
of what later was reported to be the
finest liquor that ever came from Can

The two men who abandoned the car
have not been found.

RACING ENDED BY CONSENT.
Each Goes Two Heats, Then Darkness
Settles Down-Finishes Close Enough
TO Create Interest

Four events on the racing card kept
the turf fans interested over three hours
and some of the heats were of character
that thrilled the devotees of this branch
of sport. On account of the delay in
starting, due to the forenoon of rain
which left the track in thoroughly

came to stop for the night under the
National Trotting association rules,
which governed the racing. The horse
owners therefore were called together by
Starter w. l.. Duntley, and after a CON
ference with the judges they agreed to
allow the events to be declared finished
as they stood, which was done.

FAILURES LAST WEEK.

A considerable increase was shown
in the number of failures last week
in the United States as compared
with those of the previous week,
according to the reports received by
r. G. Dun and Company. The pre-
vious week contained but five busi-
ness days, which partially accounts
for the wide spread with last weeks
number Of insolvencies. Last week
shows a total OF 629 insolvencies, as
compares with AIS defaults of the
previous week and 311 failures for
the corresponding week a year ago.
More failures are shown last week in
each Of the four sections Of the coun-
try.
or the past weeks total number OF
failures, 39S had Liabilities Of $4,000
or more in each instance, which is
equivalent to 63.3 per cent Of the to-
tai number. The previous week there
were 339 similar insolvencies and the
ratio was 70.S per cent, while dur
ing the same period last year the
defaults with liabilities OF $4,000 or
more numbered 1Ss, which was 54.3
per cent Of the, total number.
An increase was also shown In
the Canadian failures last week over
those, Of week ago. In, Canada,
both weeks nal the full number. of
business days. Last week there were
ss failures. while the previous week
SO were. reported. and durinr the
same period In 1921 only 81 insol-
vencies Syere shown. Those with Iia-
bilities of $1,000 or more number

BANK CLEARINGS.

Current statistics of bank clear
ings now compare more fsvorably
with those Of a year ago. when the
totals were comparatively moderate.
With an aggregate of s6.9i7. 1854. 900
this week at twenty cities in the
United States, the clearinGs reported
to Dun's Review are 81 per cent
larger than those of last year, al
though 14.1 per cent less than the
sS.09S:193,513 of this week OF 1920.
While a ma jority of the cities in
cluded in the statement disclose re-
ductions from last years figures.
these decreases are more than off,
set by gains at New York. Boston.
Philadelphia. Baltimore, Omaha, Los
Angeles. San Francisco and Seattle.
The largest increase is one of 25.S
per cent at Omaha, with the improve
ment at the o-her cities mentioned
ranging from 4.3 per cent at Boston
to 24.S per cent at Seattle. For
all centers outside of New York City
which are embraced by the returns
last'week's total is O.9 per cent small

In France the yield of indirect
taxes and monopolles for January
was 1.3oo.ooo.ooo francs. or per
cent below the budget estimates, ac-
cording to a cable to the Department
of Commerce from Commercial At
tache Huntington. at Paris. The gen.
eral results were less satisfactory
than those for December. although
stamp and registry taxes and the tax
on securities showed a surplus. The
deficit for January is again chiefly
due to customs and business turnover

American Agricultural
Machinery in ireland

An excellent opportunity for
American manufacturers of agricul-
tural machinery to introduce their
equipment in ireland will be af-
corded by the annual agricultural
spring show of the Royal Dublin
Society. to be held at Ballsbridge,
Dublin. on May 1918. according to
a letter received by the agricultu-
raj implements division OF the De-
partment of Commerce from Joseph
Connolly. Irish trade commissioner
to the United States. This show is
attended by practically all those
who are interested in agriculture
in Ireland. and it is believed that
substantial sales of American inn
plements and machinery will fol-

Merchants Selling Cheaply.
The country merchants are just
getting in their spring stocks and
have fairly well cleaned out winter
supplies. The cuts in prices have
encouraged buying. and while the
first two months OF the year have
been slow, they have not falleE
much below last season. despite
the unfavorable factors this year.
The profits have. however, been less,
as much Of the selling has been
at or below cost. Collections have
also been slow. The idea that no
one should pay out money unless
absolutely necessary seems to have
taken hold of the farming popu-
lation especially. Accounts on the
books are probably larger than since
1914 in most OF the country towns.
While the debtors are generally
able to pay, they are waiting for
times to clear before letting go or
their funds. This. of course. makes
trade timid in placing orders. and
the hand-to-mouth process carried
on for the past eighteen months
seems likely to continue.
With easier money and appar-
entity sufficient credit available for
at least the most essential needs,
the interior looks to the next sixty
days as having fairly active bust
ness, and by that time we shall have
a reasonable guess on the wheat
situation. Either II will be brighter
or other crops will be put into the
ground. In any event there will

LINCOLN. Nebr.. March 2.-The
rapid approach Of spring is having
its effect on the trade of the coun-
try towns and giving an impetus
to confidence. While there are yet
unrest and Threats of political re-
volts of various kinds. the fact is
that the Middle West Is settling
down to more hopeful mood
Chief among the factors that help
In this direction is the upward
trend in the price level of farm
products. In the past few weeks
wheat has advanced Is per cent,
oats 80 per cent. hogs 40 per cent,
and sheep have almost doubled in
value. All the farmer has to sell
is on the upgrade. and the things
he has to buy are declining The
farm implement manufacturers
have made drastic cuts in their
commodities: tractors have taken
