STORY OF MAPLE TREE
The story of a maple tree "planted by Isaac Davis in 1871 and which made several cords of wood when he had it cut down recently, as published in the Daily Reporter, was coppied by many papers all over the country. A few days ago Mr. Davis received a letter from B. N. Dayis of Little Rock, Arkansas, in which he said he read the tree story in the Post Dispatch and wrote to enquire if Mr. Davis was a relative, as they had the same sirname. He said he had a cousin that left his home there when a little boy and they had never heard of him since. He thought it possible that Mr. Davis might be the runaway boy.
Mr. Davis was unable to make the romance complete, however, by writing that he was the missing boy, as he was never in Arkansas and did not run away.
Stories of the Civil War never grow old, as is evidenced by the "great interest manifested in the "Civil War Day by Day, or Fifty Years Ago Today" articles which are appearing in The Indianapolis Star, both Daily and Sunday. The articles have been highly commended by men prominent in G. A. R. circles, as well by teachers of history. These articles appeal to the veteran for the reason that they recall the soul-trying days of 1861-65 to the younger generation because they give an insight into that memorable conflict in a concise, and yet highly interesting way. They are history, but not history put on a dry, matter-of-fact way. To add further interest to the articles, they are strikingly illustrated. d&w
J. W. Alderson of Bellepoint, West Virginia, has been spending a few days with old friends in and about Greenfield. He and his daughter Miss Emily, were visiting his sons at Columbus, Ohio, and he ran over to Greenfield for a short visit. Mr. Alderson formerly resided here. He sold his farm just east of Greenfield four years ago to Jesse F. Anderson and moved to West Virginia where he has resided since. He likes West Virginia very well and says that business is good there. The C. & O. Railroad Company has large division shops in the vicinity in which he resides. He left this afternoon for Columbus.

SOLID BASIS FOR MAKERS
Auto Manufacturer Predicts Better Stability in Future for rade.
"The future promises a very satisfactory and prosaic stability in the automobile business," declares Geo. M. Dickson, general manager of the National Motor Vehicle Company, one of the oldest motor car manufacturing concerns in the country. "From now on brains, integrity and experience will count to the same degree that it does in the pianola, sealskin coat or any other business which caters to those persons whose incomes enable them to purchase articles costing several hundred dollars and upward. "The mushroom period of the motor car game, with the great experimental stage, is now passing and another few months will witness the general introduction of legitimate and unsensational methods which have characterized the efforts of the best known motor makers from the beginning. The change which is now being consummated will see a general betterment of conditions from both the viewpoint of the maker and the dealer. "There has been a glamour about the automobile 'game' which is disappearing with the establishment of the automobile 'industry.' In a few years the man working with the motor car will be no more a person to be envied than the man selling beans or shoes. It is true that millions have been made in the automobile business by a few persons who started with almost nothing. On the other hand, millions have been lost by people who started with large sums. "One big improvement in the business will be the protection of the parts and accessory maker. During the past few months these concerns have suffered through the failure of numerous manufacturing plants promoted by men who would have failed in most any business. "The parts maker will also doubtless suffer a good deal by the large manufacturing plants making practically all of their own parts. The credit of surviving firms will be established and the public in general will profit as much by the improvement as the people in the trade."
The National Company has three big cars entered in the $25,000 500-mile International Sweepstakes race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Memorial Day.
"FLYING DUTCHMAN" READY

During: the year 1903 Jagersburger bandied the racing machines of Mr. Harkness. His moat notable performance was at Elkwood Park on the 4th of July, 1903, when he made the American 100-mil© track record. This performance was so good that it withstood the attacks of all other recordbreaking drivers for a period of three years.

U. S. HAS EYE ON SPEEDWAY
Government Experts Test Brick Pav, ing at Famous Indianapolis Race Course,and Call It Perfect.
Indianapolis, Ind. The United States government has taken official notice of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with the result that two engineer physicists from the Bureau of Standards at Washington, D. C., have taken up headquarters at the famous brick course to make tests and observations which will show the effect of atmospheric changes on the vitrified paving surface. The Speedway was chosen as the most perfect sample of brick paving in the country and the peculiar slopes and curves at the turns of the race course give the only opportunity to test irregular paving and road construction.
Major James E, Howard, head of the experimental work for the government, is authority for the statement that the Speedway stands atone in the vitrified brick paving field as an example of almost perfection, and the results obtained from the test there will be of lasting benefit to the cities throughout the land. The report of the experts will be sent to the Washington headquarters, and there will be distributed to all of the municipalities which use brick as a paving material.
RACES LOST BY DISSIPATION
Auto Champion Tells Why Hazardous Sport of Motpr Racing Requires Careful Attention.
Indianapolis, Ind. "Many of the biggest automobile races in the history of the sport have been lost the night before."
This is the statement of Ralph De Palma, champion mile-track motor race driver of 1910. De Palma recently visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway here and announced that he would pilot a car in the 500-mile International Sweepstakes Race, May 30. He is undecided just what his mount will be, but he asserts that he would be a starter even if he had "to drive a wheelbarrow."
Discussing the long grind of seven hours which the $25,000 classic will mean, the fearless Italian pilot said: "A prize of $10,000 for winning one race is not to be picked up every day, and I mean to be in at the finish of the Speedway race next May. This means $iat I must be even more careful of myself now than ever. I always have kept in good shape through consistent training, but this long drive will require the very pink of condition in every man who starts. "Many of the biggest races in the history of the sport have been lost the night before. By that I mean that inexperienced drivers have given way to temptation and have indulged in intoxicants to an extent that rendered them incompetent to sit a a wheel. Any auto race driver should be careful of his physical condition, as it not only endangers his own life, but that of the other drivers in the race if he is not in good shape."
DISBROW ENTERS LONG RACE.
Indianapolis, Ind.- -Louis Disbrow, one of the most prominent of American race drivers, who drove a Pope-Hartford in the Vanderbilt Cup Race last October, and in the Grand Prize race at Savannah, Georgia, last November, has been entered in the 500-mile International Sweepstakes Race, to be held on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next Memorial Day. Disbrow will pilot a specially built Pope racing car.
The other entries in the race thus far are Lewis Strang, Louis Larsonneur and Joe Jagersburger, in Case cars C. B. Blldwin, in an Inter-State "50," built at Muncie, Indiana Johnny Aitken, in a Naitonal "40" Speedway Roadster, 1911 model Frank Fox, in a Pope-Hartford Harry Knight, in a Westcott, and a Simplex, the driver for which has not been named. Ralph DePalma, champion mile track driver of 1910, may pilot this last entry through the long grind.

Great Musical Festival.
Plans are now completed for the greatest Musical Festival ever given in Indianapolis. This has been achieved by the untiring efforts of Ona B. Talbot. Tho Festival will be given at Shubert Murat theatre, Friday and Saturday, April 21 and 22.
The Sheffield choir of England and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra will participate.
Not only will Indianapolis, and the State as well, have opportunity then to hear two hundred of the finest voices in England, but also they will be privileged to hear two of the biggest choral works in musical literature sung under the personal direction of their composers. Sir Edward Elgar, the distinguished English musician^who wrote "The Dream of Gerontius," will be in Indianapolis to conduct this Jwork when it is sung Friday evening, April 21.
Dr, Charles Harris, composer of the symphonic choric idyl, "Pan." will conduct that work on the following afternoon and in the evening the Cincinnati |Symphony Orchestra will combine with the Sheffield choir in Beethoven's Ninth (choral) Symphony.
These are features only—not the complete programs—but they give some idea of kthe magnitude of the festival which has been arranged by Ona ^B. iTalbot. In addition to Sir Edward|Elgar and Dr. Harriss there are two other notable conductors— Dr. Henry Coward, of the Sheffield choir, and Leopold Stokovski, of the Cincinnati orchestra.
Never, even in the days of the Indianapolis, May festivals, or in the present festivals of other cities, has a more important or comprehensive series of programs been arranged, either in the works offered or in the personality of those participating.
The! progams bring together on one stageja magnificent choir of two hundred voices, a symphony orchestra of sixty-five musicians, four eminent conductors and two world-famous composers. Numbered among the members of the Sheffield choir are nine principals—or soloists—whose abilities have raised them high in the estimation of the English people.
To accommodate this great gathering of singers and musicians it will be necessary to make special preparations at the Murat theatre. The stage will be so arranged, with the addition of an elaborate superstructure that the entire choir and orchesra will be presented to the best advantage. With this magnificent stage sett'ng, and the big auditorium filled with the people who appreciate the importance of the event, Indiana and Indianapolis will have reached a new and advanced stage in musical development.
The Cincinnati Orchestra is well known in Indianapolis and this is as surance in itself that the orchestra will meet the demands made upon it in participating in the festival.
Seats for all the above concerts are now on sale at the Ona B. Talbot tic&et office, Wulsehner-Stewart Music Company, Indianapolis. Prices. Evenings, main floor, $3.00, $2.50, $2.00, ,$1.50. Matinee, main floor, $2.00, $1.50, $1.00.
