Nov. 7. —Packard Motor Car company of Detroit will return to the automobile racing game in 1923, with a factory team, the first of the big factories to engage in the speed sport after once having retired. Incidentally, the Packard is the first of the internationally prominent American factories, with big production, to engage in racing in the last decade. This was announced by T. E. Myers, secretary and general manager ot the Indianapolis Motor Speedway company. who has been advised b} - Col. J. (1. Vincent that the Packard team would participate in the eleventh annual 500-niile international sweepstakes, next Memorial day, on the Hoosier oval. 'Colonel Vincent is vicepresident of the Packard company and chief engineer. He is the designer of the Liberty motor and recently won the gold cup at Detroit, the national power boat championship. The Packard company has two reasons for entering the coming race. The 1923 event will be for cars powered with engines not to exceed 122 cubic inches piston displacement, being smaller than any engines manufactured for production automobiles in this country. European designers have made rapid strides in the perfection of engines of this size and ' smaller and the engineering fraternI ity knows that with a new class the Indianapolis race this year will be won on an engineering basis and the Packard company is confident enough

of Its ability to pit. Its product ngalnst' Ihe best from Europe. The other reason is the national pride of the com puny and Colonel Vincent, believing that this yonr Europe will ho much farther advanced in the perfection of its racing creations and thnt America, to compete successfully must do so with organized teams, which can only i be efficient when bucked by financial ; support and mechanical service, which' only a factory cun give. Congress To Be (’ailed Into Session Nov. 20 Washington, Nov. 7. —Congress will lie called Into session November 20, it was indicated today at the White House. President Harding is expected to issue the cull Thursday or Friday, it was stated. One of the first measures to go before this session is the report on reirganization of the federal departments, it was said. --- o Harding And Wilson Get Election Returns Washington, Nov. 7.—President Harding today will receive full election returns from all over the country over a special United Press wire at the White House. The president is expected to sum- ) marize the reports and prepare bulletins which he will carry to Mrs. Harding in her sick room. All through her illness Mrs. Harding has kept lose watch on the campaign. Though former President Woodrow Wilson will not remain up for the returns. democratic leaders will keep their ' house on S street,” closely informed during the night on the pro- ' gress of the elections. o — Reports On Forget-Me-Not Day Are Incomplete Yet The reports on the sales of forget-me-nots in Decatur on National Forj get-Me-Not day last Saturday, have > not been made by all of the organizations taking part in the sale, it was • stated today by Mr. Thomas Durkin, i local general chairman. However, it s is known that a large number of the little flowers were sold here. The 1 money derived from the sale will be forwarded to the national headquar - ters in charge of the sale, and will • go for the benefit of disabled Ameri ■> can veterans of the World war. It i is expected that the reports will all

|bo made to Mr. Durkin within the'nt next dny ot two. nt ~ o p| COST OF TESTING CATTLE b; REDUCED UNDER AREA PLAN w — - c< As n result of the area plan of tuber- p culosls eradicut lon, says the United la ;States Department of Agriculture, the I cost of testing hns boon reduced. The pioneer counties which undertook the r< | work naturally incured greater ex- •> jpense than those which followed their 11 b ad anil took advantage of tin ir experiences. Hut. in spite of this, re- a Icords of the department show that for ,f the 25 counties in various States for R which figures are available the cost of 11 testing was only 34 cents a head. Steuben county, N. Y., whore 45,00(1 n i cattle were tested by 33 veterinarians K in 19 days, did the work at a cost of '' '23.5c a head. In Missouri the test- !l ■ ing done by Federal veterinarians cost only 28 cents a head. This included 1 I * • salary, subsistence, and travel ex- ' ’ A ncnses. In some counties work has ♦ been done at as low a cost as 15 cents 'a head. Wet And Dry Fight j t Holds Stage In Ohio < By EARL J. JOHNSON r United Press Staff Correspondent Columbus, 0., Nov. 7. —Plenty of Ohioans are offering to bet $75 to $l9O that the proposed beer and light wines amendment to the state constitution < will carry by a comfortable majority. < 1 | Os course the bets, except in rare I < 1 cases, are not being covered, because t the proposal's opponents, those who ' otherwise would have the courage to ] '; back their opinions with money, are ; [1 not betting persons. They are largely i members of the Anti-Saloon league, ; I which constitutes about the only or- i ganized effort to beat the beer and l , wine amendment. i Retting is light, but betting in this t election is no barometer of interest, j ' Ohioans are interested —tremendously > . interested in the part of the election that is going to decide Ohio's attitude, i e i after a few years of prohibition, on a i-1 wet issue. s Working men. men in street cars i, and wives who guard home brew t stocks and get a fright everytime a e gas man enters the cellar because e they think he may be a prohibition e agent—all of them are talking about r- the beer and wine proposal. Adoption II of the proposed amendment, they bei- lieve, will make homebrewing safer, t 1 Dut that all depends upon what the 11' supreme court does with the amend

nent In cnse it Is adopted. There is io doubt thnt if accepted by the peo>le the amendment will ho contested >y the Anti-Saloon league. The tight vlll bo one of the most significant tn onneetlon with prohibition because it trobably will be John Barleycorn's ast chance to get back. The Biggest Question. The prospect of 2.75 per cent beer returning to the bars of the state ins effectually eclipsed all candidates tor office. It isn't a case of total political ipathy, it’s a case of one outstanding Issue. President Harding is the issue over which the candidates are fighting. If the amendment is defeated the nation probably won't hear much morn serious talk about beer and wine. If it goes over there may be a long fight ahead for both factions. All agree there is very litrtle doubt that the amendment would be in violation of the federal constitution. Members of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment admit that is quite probable, but point out that if the people of a state like Ohio approve light wine and beer, it will be an entering wedge to modification of the Volstead act. o The Minority Parties Have Candidates In Many States Washington, Nov. 7. — Upton Sinclair, the novelist, heads a long list of socialist and farmer-labor party candidates for the house and senate in today's election. Sinclair, who won fame by his ex pose of the Chicago stockyards some years ago, and who more recently stirred things up with "The Brass ('heck," an attack on the press of the country, is running against Hiram Johnson for the United States senate in California. Sinclair is a socialist. No less than twenty distinct organizations have put one or more candidates in the field this year. The republicans and democrats continue of course to lead. The socialist have 116 candidates for house and senate. In New York state, some of the socialists combined with the farmer labor party. This group has a total o* 25 candidates. In Illinois, on the contrary, the socialists and farm-labor parties remained distinct. The farmer-labor party has in all 29 candidates. The labor party has six; the socialists labor 10; the progressive 12; ten arc running as independents; the prohibition party backs 32, and a number of others are prohibitionists who have

republican or democratic leanings. The single taxers have eleven candidates, while the other "parties” Include; Nonpartisan league, three; union party, one; welfare party, one; Roosevelt party, one; voters league, two; people's party, one; workers' party, one, and Lincoln independent party, one. 0 — St. Louis, Nov. 7.—An attempt will bo made at the next session of tho Missouri legislature to establish a state police force. o . ( Organization For Xmas Seal Campaign Now On Indianapolis, Nov. 7. — Mrs. Loe Bowers, Huntington, holds the honor of being tho first county Xmas Seal sale chairman appointed in tho state, according to announcement today of Murray Auerbach, secretary of the Indiana Tuberculosis association. Plans for the 1922 sale to raise funds for next year’s work against tuberculosis are well under way, Auerbach said. Sixty-six counties have already signed contracts with the state association for their supplies of seals. Allen county, which offered 1,500.000 seals, was the first to requisition its supply, but was closely followed by Wells, ordering 100,0011; Bartholo- , mew, ordering a quarter of a million. The Union county committee, with headquarters at Liberty, was the first organization to close its contract with ■ the state association. i Practically all the sixty-six counties that decided on their campaigns for this year have already organized. • Mrs. Bowers was the first, county ■ chairman named, but her appofnt- ' ment reached state headquarters jinly , a short time before two others —Mrs. ■ J. H. Burton, Parke county, and Mrs. - E. B. Early, of Bluffton. Early organization work, according to Auer- - bach, augurs well for the success of • this year's Xmas Seal sale. f New York —Gene Sarazen, world's ' golf champion, is expected to become 1 the professional at tho New Westchester, Biltmore club following the . termination of his contract by the ’ Highland Country chlH Pittsburgh.
