C. Lower, of the aeronautic sup plies department. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, comment* ing upon the recent race at St. Louis between Antony .1 annus and James Ward. “Pylons are fixed at turns on the avia tion field.” explained Mr. Lower, “and an official known as an observer is sta tioned at each pylon. As the machine passes overhead, the observer tries to get his line, of sight in a straight vertical line. It might be surmised that the avia tor could easily crib a yard or two. but as a matter of fact in rounding corners, be rarely flies high because of the time lost in reaching an altitude It is com paratively easy therefore for the ob server to see whether or not the aviator travels on the wrong or the right side of the pylon.” Ward, who steered a Curtiss, machine equipped with Goodyear tires .and fabric in the rare with J annus, covered the lif teen-mile course in thirteen minutes one half seconds. The distance will be offi cially surveyed by the Aero club of St. Louis. There never was a time when people appreciated the real merits of Cham berlain's t’otigh Remedy more than now.

POTATOES BUY FARMERSAUTDS Crops in Maine and New Jer sey Are Being Turned Into Cars. "Much has been said and written as to the way farmers have taken to the au tomobile during the pant few rears. The purchasing of automobiles was taken as the best sign of prosperity in the rural districts, ' says F. ft Hump, assistant general manager of the R-C-H Corpora tion. "but it was not until last fall that Aroostook. county. Maine, and the south ern part of New Jersey gave evidence of their prosperity by auto buying This spring these districts are listed among the best territories by sales departments of auto factories. "Potatoes are the cause The citizens are literally turning their potatoes into automobiles. Aroostook count.v js the extreme northern division of Maine. Its sandy soil does not impress one as being especially good and. indeed, the residents themselves had the same idea until re cently. Last fall when the potato crop tell short in many parts of the I'nited States., Aroostook county was among the exceptions. "When it, became known that Aroostook county was prepared to furnish the .coun try with splendid potatoes, its fame grew and the money fairly poured into the pockets of the residents. Now they're buying autos and wp received an order from our dealer there recently asking that three carloads of R-C-H ears be shipped him before May 10-with others to follow . "The circumstances are abbuctlic same in southern New Jersey , only there it was found that sweet potatoes were the bps* producers and wealth returners." Roger <'iab. the hermit aud.a.-trol oger, almost solved the problem of how to live without eating. About 1641 Im began to restrict himself to a vegeta rian diet, avoiding even butler and cheese. From roots he got to a vege tarian diet of broth thickened with bran, and-pudding made of bran and turnip leaves chopped together, and he finally resorted to dock loaves and grass. He drank nothing hut water, and lived for nearly 40 years on three farthings a week. He. died in London in 16S0 ip his sixtieth y ear.
