The Rev. G. H. Myers oh this city narrowly missed this wreck, as he arrived into Bluffton on the next car. He also missed the Kingsland wreck in the same way, having fortunately missed that car and taking the next one. Messrs.

Salem Aid —At the Church. Friday. Zion's Lutheran Aid —At School House. A commencement week, replete . with festivity for the eighteen graduates of the Decatur high school, clos- , ed Saturday evening with the farewell party at the home of Miss Marie Dan-; iels. this being the last reunion before they go to their several schools and works. Besides the students, three of the teachers —Messrs. Rice, Worthman and Tritch —were present, and the guests upon’ arriving were received by the hostess on the cool lawn and porches. The entry into the I house was one of pleasing surprise.l withal a feat attended with great difficulty, as was apparent to those who I attempted to force his way through a imaze of a network of strings. The i hostess in a well wortied speech made 1 haste to explain that as they were all about to part and each go on his long journey, they would make a pleasant trip to the end of the rainbow, and someone would be so lucky as to find the pot of gold at the end. A slip of' paper was given to each guest, and written thereon was the name of the vocation each was supposed to fol- > low in life. To each slip was tied a - string and the hostess explained that > these all lead to the rainbow, which ■ was improvised from beautifully tinted paper, rising in the form of a true rainbow arch from one end of the' . room. The strings formed a veritable network, and after much difficulty, attended with great merriment, the strings were untwisted and followed to the end, where each found the instruments which would be necessary : to him in the vocation accredited him on his slip of paper. Prefessor Rice’s vocation was designated as a ‘tramp’’ and he found to aid him at the end of , his line, a cane, a red bandanna ’kerchief, and a slouch hat; J. C. Tritch was to be a minister and his line lead him to a Bible and a perir of spectacles. Mr. Tritch was also successful in getting the pot of gold—a > jar of golden candy corn, which he shared with the others not so fortunate as himself. Concluding, each told the story of his travels. This was a very unique form of entertainment, followed by one equally so, that of an egg contest. “Sides” were chosen by Professors Rice and Tritch and each then attempted to blow an egg shell , from the center of the table, without using the hands to help the travel along. The contest resulted in a tie. A general social period followed, with music, and later refreshments were served on the lawn. The decorations of the home were ,vases of roses, tastefully arranged, and beautiful potted ferns. The sixty-sixth birthday of Mrs.' Priscilla Wyer of Curryville was celebrated by many friends and neighbors who came in and gave her a social good time, with many presents, and a post-card shower. After partaking of a bounteous repast, the post-card shower was sprung hy George W. Drum, the number of cards equaling her age.

i , , I Enters Motor Race In Indianapolis Car s "041” Anderson. one of the star drivers entered in the 500-mile Internaf tfcnal Sweepstakes Race at the Indi anapolts Motor Speedway. Memorial Day. May 3D. Anderson will drive a r specially constructed Stuti racing car ‘ made by the Stutz Auto Parts Co., of • Indianapolis. r ■ ; AUTO PILOTS TO TRAIN 1 WILL TAKE REGULAR EXERCISE TO STAND STRAIN. Louis Disoro'* Has Novel Idea of Cons ditior.iug Work for Long Race at Indianapolis Traci. Many methods of physical training 1 ficr automobile race drivers have been ' tried, but the mcst novel suggested 1 for ecme time is the plan which Louis 1 Dial ow, driver of the Pope-Hartford car entered in the 500-mile Internat ticual Sweepstakes race at the Indi anapolis Motor Speedway, next Me monal Day, May 30, will use. Dist brow recently visited Indianapolis to make arrangements for the workouts s of hie big special car now being built ’ at the Disbrow garage at Jamaica. 5 Long Island, and told bis Idea of keep- » Ing in good physical condition. - "Gymnastics won’t do a race driver s much good,” said the Pope Hartford pilot, “neither will any specified course of exercises. There is one thing alone which will make a man fit to sit behind the wheel through a strain ot seven hours such as the 500-mile race ’ wdl mean. That is taking a daily course of hard knocks over the coun- • try roads in a racing car at a fairly good rate of speed. I have made plans to do this for at least thirty days be r fore the race and will be in Indianaj polls with my racing car and two practice cars by May 1. ’ f “The practice cars will be used the 1 most, but the big car will be tried enough to put it into perfect tune. In the practice cars I shall take crosst country trips to the cities of the Midj die West, such as St. Louis. Chicago. -. Omaha. Kansas City and others. 1 r shall drive two or three hundred miles daily for several days at a stretch, and la that manner harden myself so that the 500 mile drive will be nothing uns , - usual for me. "It is my plan now to drive my prac 1 tice cars through from New York to r Indianapolis and this will give me a fair auirt in training My mechanics 3 will be carried along at all times so s that they will be in as good physical 3 condition as I am. 1 believe that evB ery driver in the long race should carry a mechanic, as the course will have ' thirty-five or forty cars going at once e and the mechanic will be forced to ' keep his eye to the rear watching for s cars that will want to pass " The Speedway management will require every driver in the long grind to f carry a mechanic and will arrange platforms at mile intervals around the track so that cars may run upon them and get off the track to make repairs or change tires when they find it noc--1 eeeary to do so at points other than e at the pits. It is probable that all of 1 the cars will carry a spare tire or two during the race so that the drivers may avail themselves of the use of p the repair platforms. e GOLD ATTRACTS NOTED DRIVER. Fred Belcher Enters Big Race at Indianapolis with His Knox. t i. One more well known automobile racing pilot has decided that the 500 tr. v 205,00} Indianapolis race is the quickest route to fame and fortunet Fred Leichtr, victor in over twenty- . five contests, has purchase 1 the 60 H. a P. 6k "Under Knox car which he drove in the Vanderbilt Cup race, seat in ' his application and entry fee for the e tig event, and will embark on a career P as an independent racing driver at 1 the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next s Memorial Day. h Belcher has been in two Vanderbilt L . Cup contests, has won the Hollenbeck g Trophy two years in succession and ’ has done well in many contests of less importance. His eleven years automo--1 bile driving experience has developed e that most necessary judgment and ' speed sense without which no driver ■ can ever hope to rank among the winners, while bls splendid physique and endurance carry him through the hardt Mt contests. . The Knox car be will pilot has a record of 94 miles an hour and Is the same machine that he drove in the Vanderbilt Cup race. This Is a stock e car built with the famous Knox power plant and capable W psst epee*.
