No better conception of the ramifi-
cations of the industry can be gained
than through a list Of the various
claSSifcations of workers dependent
in whole or in part upon it, This list
includes motor vehicle factory work
erS, parts and accessory factory work
el-S. tire factory workers, motor ve-
hicle dealers and statesmen, garage en-
ployeS, professional Chauffeurs, pro
feSsional truck drivers, gasoline re-
fnery and oil workers, automobile
financing and insurance. iron and steel
workers. copper. lead. tin, nickel and
aluminium workers. railroad workers.
plate glass workers. tannery and
leather workers. WOodworkers, uphol-
sterinE cloth. top and side curtain
material workers, asbestos workers.
paint and varnish factory workers ana
coal miners.
The industry touches. therefore. al
most every class of workers and has Il
vital economic effect upon all of busl-
ness as q whole.
The effect of the upgToWth Of the
automotive industry on the railroads
of the country. for instance. may be
seen by the fact that in 1925 total au.
tomotive freight reached 100000 car
loads Motor vehicles and parts were
the third largest railroad shipments

Walter comes from d prominent
family in the National Capital. Early
in life he found himself possessor of
an impulse toward things mechanical.
AS he grew older the impulse became
more and more irresistible, and finally.
to crafty it. he turned to automobile
racing. His first experience was in
State fair engagements. where he pro-
ceeded to 'cleahup' 50 satisfyingly
that the way was quickly opened up
for his entry into National Motor Rae
ing Association ranks.
II was while at Daytona Beach,
Fla. that Walter decided upon his
vocation. There he saw Tommy Mil.
ton and others of the speed demons
plotting automobiles at almost un-
dreamed speeds.
This" unused young Walter. is a
fine business. I'll have to do some
thing about it
The next step was the acquisition
of car most difficult step. as every
one knows. To set ones self up as
big-time auto racer requires an initial
outlay of about $4,000 This much
not being Immediately available, Wal

There are two .techniques in this

Gary Also to Drive Car.
The 1O0-mile event probably will
see Gary behind the wheel of this
car. This lad. only 21 years old, is
one of the youngest drivers ever 10

the United States.
Walter met him while the two
were rivals in lesser known automo-
bile race events and was Immediately
impressed with his skill and courage.
He lost no time in teaminG up with
Gary and has turned his car over to
the Takoma Park boy in number
of the big dirt track classics.
Gary, like Walter, entered the
racing game to find an expression
for his leaning toward automobiles
and speed. He is a quiet chap who
has earned the absolute respect of
every driver in y. NJ. Il. \. ranks.
1t is most likely that both of Wal
ter's cars will be on the Laurel pro

The new machine was built by the
Greene Engineering co. of Dayton.

of record holding machines. one OF
the features that is counted upon to

SUCCESSFUL POULTRY
SHOW AT SAGE CREEK
OF. A. Chisholm, County Agent)

F. A. Chisholm, County AGENT
The Poultry Show and Extension
school, given at Sage Creek last week
was attended by a large crowd of en-
thusiastic people.
Mr.. o. N. Summers talk on baby
chicks and turkeys Friday was very
interesting and conveyed a good many
pointers which vii be a great help
to those interested in poultry raising.
The poultry judging on Friday
morning was done by Mr.. Summers,
and knowing poultry as he does, we
feel that the prizes were well placed
as follows: Seth Fritzler, took three
first prizes and two seconds on his r.
C. Rhode Island Reds. Mrs. E. E.
Dunn took four first places and three
seconds on her White Plymouth Rocks
Oscar White. took one second place
on his R. C. Rhode Island Reds, Ar
thur Pearson took one first place on
his S. c. Rhode Island Whites and
n first place on his Old Turkey hen,
Fred Mcneil took one first and one
second place on his Old Turkey Tom,
and one first and one second on his
young Turkey Tom, and Harmon
Schultz took one second on his Turkey
Hen.
On the egg Judging contest, E. E.
Newton took first place and Harry
Mcneil second.
The free picture show on Friday
evening was very well attended. "The
Lamb from Range to Market" the
first reel was educational as well as
being shown in n way to hold the in
terest of evryone. "The Tale of Two
Bulls" "a carried out in the cartoon
idea and was enjoyed by all present.
An interesting meeting for the
Farm Dairy men and those interested
in feeding lambs, was held on Satur-
day under the direction of the Live
Stock and Dairy Specialist, Mr.. d. ].
Robertson, and from the out come OF
the talks and discussions of this meet
ing, we feel that there are great pos
sibilities for lamb feeding in this sec
ton of the countr-.
Miss Luella Sherman was unable to
be here for the women's section and
Miss Eells carried out her part of the
program for the two days, giving the
demonstrations to n crowd Of interest
ed women.

Mr.. Robertson. who was in business
in London as a young man, is thorogh-
ly familiar with that great city and
handled his subject in a most interest
ing and entertaining manner. He took
his listeners across the Atlantic and
into the heart of London where he
showed them about the city, pointing
out the principal places of interest and
related many interesting historical
events which took place centuries ago
on spots that are now the scenes of
hurried metropolitan business life.
When called upon for a talk, "Cub"
Robertson always has a treat in store
for his listeners. He is an enthusiastic
Lion, and is doing much toward the
support of this organization.

its stock of merchandise to the west
half of the Pioneer building on Sher-

DIR. R. C. Trueblood, proprietor of
the drug store, has ordered a new
Frigidaire iceless fountain which will
be installed in a few weeks and this
as well as other departments will be
first class and up-to-date in every way.
The Cody Drug company is the old

established more than twenty years
ago where the Manhattan cafe is now
located by doc" Campbell. Later it
was purchased by H. o. Martin and
moved to the corner opposite the Ir-

twenty years. Campbell sold the es-
