1881 BAD YEAR FOR HORSES ON
 AMERICAN TURF
Death of Phar Lap First Misfortune-Lameness,
 etc., Other Causes
By G. ROBERT KAY


 LOUISVILLE, Ky, June 2.-This is heartbreaking year in American racing
 The death of Phar Lap, huge Australian wonder horse" which crossed the seas to win the Agua Caliente Handicap, was the first misfortune in series to overtakc leading thoroughbreds this spring.
 Twenty Grand, Mrs. Payne Whit ney's three -year-old champion of 1881, went lame while training for this years campaign, and was re- tired to the stud.
 This misfortune was counter balanced by the return to success ful form of Equipose, c. V. Whit ney's crack colt which went lame on the eve of the 1881 Kentucky Derby, won by Twenty Grand.
 Three Year -Olds Hit
 The casualty list among three year -olds has been unusually heavy, Many horsemen lay it to the fact that Kentucky Derby was run too early this year, May ', causing trainers to overwork their charges. preparing them for the historic classic. Usually the Derby is raced a week or two later.
 Notable casualties this spring in- cluded the cutting down of the Shandon Farms Burning Blaze, second ranking juvenile of 1881 in a pre-Derby training race at Churchill Downs. and the lame- ness of Universe, T. M. Cassedy's winner of the Wood Memorial caused by workout during Derby week. w. F. Knegoelleamps Deliv- cred, another leading Derby con tender, had gone lame few days before.
 Liberty Limited Eliminated
 The Derby itself had more than its usual quota of misfortunes, the Three Ds stables Liberty Limited broke down entirely during tht running, and probably is lost tC racing for all time.
 Col. E. R. Bradley's Brother Jot went lame while his staolelnate Burgoo King, was winning th< IDerby. The Northway Stables Gal lant Sir was kicked in shoulder at the Derby post, but not ser iously injured.
 All these named except Phar Lap which is dead, and Liberty Limited are expected to return to the turt sooner or later Twenty Grant may not return until next year.

DID YOU EVER STOP
TO THINK?
BY Edison r. Waite


Buffalo, N. Y, The only safe way to
advertise is through local newspapers
They are the only advertising medi-
ums that will bring you sure results.
A lot of people are now thinking
about this word, Economy" The
preaching of this little word has done
much in keeping the depression with
lis. Official calls for economy here
ana there by different city, state and
government officials are very fresh in
the minds Of the people-so fresh that
they are economizing to the best of
their ability, with the result of the
boarding of dollars and cutting down
ordinary expenses so much that mil
lions of dollars are kept from circula-
ton and business is crippled SO that
we have a big army OF unemployed.
Many of these people now find that
while they are expected to correctly
interpret the word, Economy" many
of our officials reserve to themselves
the right to place their own construc-
ton on the meaning of the word.
Economy means to avoid waste, and
waste is any expenditure which is un-
necessary.
The men who make the greatest
success in business are the men who
have the courage to dare, ambition to
succeed, grit to fight, and who have
the desire for the best things life has
to offer their business and home city
and have enough nerve to fight for
them.
George D. Murphy, editor of the
Manteca, California, Bulletin, never
loses an opportunity to tell about that
splendid little city. It is in very
rich agricultural section. If you ever
get near that city. you will see in Mr.,
Murphy one of the liyest among the
live city builders.
Reckless automobile drivers are
enemies of all mankind.
