AND MERCEDES CAR

Will Try For the Championship Again This Year in the Motor Events—Made Great Record

Last Year, But Lost.

Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 3. Will Ralph DePalma, Italian driver of the Mercedes racer, be able to repeat in the fight for the auto racing championship in the motor events next season?

Though the accident in the Grand prize at Milwaukee put him out of that event and nearly cost him his life, DePalma was able to win head line honors with his four firsts out of five starts—a record that is re-

Recovered from his Milwaukee accident, having won every classic event in motor racing with the exception of the 500-mile International Sweepstakes race, and the Santa Monica'road-race, DePalma will be out again next year to grab off the championship, at least to win the long Memorial Day grind.

Announcement has been made by C. W. Sedwick, director of the Indianapolis Speedway, that DePalma has declared that he will have his Mercedes rebuilt in the German factory to meet the conditions of the 1913 race, reducing the piston displacement from 600 to 450, to more nearly approach the character of stock cars.

It is also announced, though entry blanks have not been sent out, that Caleb Bragg, the Cincinnati millionaire, and Teddy Tetzlaff, the California native son, are preparing to enter the Indianapolis race next year.

Racing fate has always seemed unkind to DePalma, but he put over in 1912 four great firsts—the Vanderbilt cup, the Elgin free-for-all, the Elgin trophy and a class event at Santa Monica, taking byt that quartette of victories the crown worn by Harvey Herrick the] year before. Had it not been fori the accident in the Grand Prize it is almost a certainty that he would have finished second to Caleb Bragg, who is entitled to not a little credit, for out of his two starts— one at Milwaukee and one at Santa Monica—he got a first and a second. Bragg is a daring but careful driver, and is always to be counted on for a race.

Tetzlaff got a good start with his three firsts on the Pacific coast— including his victory in the Santa Monica—and his runner up place in the Indianapolis race, but he broke down at the tape at Elgin, and was put out of the Vanderbilt at Milwaukee when he was making a runaway" race of it. •'^During the holiday season the entry blanks for the next Indianapolis race will be sent out. Director Sedwick has but recently returned from Europe, wrhere he conferred with the foreign makers and drivers. Though he has made no publie announcement of the result of his labors, it is understood he is well satisfied with the proposition received from the foreign maker?.

Hints for Housekeepers Keep Foley's Honey and Tar Compound always on hand, and you can. quickly head off a cold by its prompt use. It contains no opiates, heals and soothes the inflamed air passages, stops the cough, and may save a big doctor's bill. In the yellow package. M. C. Quigley.

CHOLERA AMONG HOGS IS CREATING HAVOC

The Dreaded Disease, Which is Prevalent, is Causing Death and Great Loss To Farmers—

Cure Being Sought.

markable, proving that the Italian hogs that were vaccinated died is a genuine master of the autodriving technique. .• Were it not for his disastrous ending of the 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Memorial day, his record would have been perfect. With the race practically won that day, before 80,000 people, w7ith two laps to go, the engine of the Mercedes car went bad —the story of that tragedy is old— and Joe Dawson sneaked home victorious in his National.

There has been more cholera among the hogs in Hancock county this fall and winter than ever before. It has prevailed in all parts of the county. The farmers have resorted to the use of every preventive and every known remedy, without encouraging results. Vaccination has been used with very unsatisfactory results. Virus has been secured in a number of cases from Purdue University, but the

with the same certainty that those whiclr were not vaccinated did. It is said that Cash Vandenbark, of Jackson township, had his hogs vaccinated to avoid the disease. The treatment was applied when the hogs were wrell, but they became sick and he lost thirty-five head. Beck Lowe, of the same township, spent $15 for vaccination with practically no good results. Marcee Smith of near Philadelphia, has lost 100 head of hogs. He has had cholera among his hogs three years out of the past four years. He has done everything he knew to do, and all things have failed. He has one of the best hog barns in Hancock county. It was constructed exclusively for hogs, and is so arranged *to be kept as sanitary as a hog barn could be kept. After his experience with the disease for three years, Mr. Smith says that the best thing he knows to do when cholera makes is appearance on the farm is to sell every well hog that is marketable and kill the others just as soon as the disease attacks them. That seems to be the general opinion of most farmers. They resort to all means of prevention, but they have very little faith in any cholera cure. Mr. Smith even supplied his hogs with water from a deep driven well.

The loss to farmers in Hancock

ounty in the past year has been

enormous.

The old soldier in the North, the! same as in the South, has the sweet satisfaction of knowing that he has done his duty and served his country.

When Two Colors Meet The veteran wrho is a resident' under the domain of Uncle Sam is,1 as has been proven, true to his foe of former days, as he is to his friend—numerous occasions having been recorded where the Blue and the Gray were reunited, at encampments and other meetings,

The writer "covered" two encampments for southern newspapers and at each there were veterans from north of the Mason and Dixon line and when their presence was noted, they were welcomed into the confines of the convention hall, and when experiences were "swapped" there were tears shed by the wearers of uniforms of both colors. The southern hospitality was much in evidence throughout both of the conventions.

This fact was very noticeable at the meeting of the G. A. R. post and the W. R. C. here Saturday night. Where there were several hundred enrolled when Dunbar Post was installed in 1878, there is bare half a hundred surviving. There is a large percentage of these old warriors who are indisposed. again, should it come^-.--"There are plenty of young men

Dunbar Post Election

The meeting did not only record the annual inspection of the post by Captain Henry Snow, the first commander, but the election and installation of officers. Almon Keifer, former commander, passes to the rank of Past Commander, he having been succeeded by Stephen Jackson. Mr. Jackson is a very able officer, and declares that he is never going to grow old. He will doubtless prove a most efficient officer. The inspection of the Post resulted in Captain Snow making a very favorable report. John Cline will officiate as the Adjutant during the present year, and John A. Barr as Quartermaster. The office of Chaplain will be filled by Lafayette Slifer.

Despite the fact that there, is a decided decrease in the number of members, there is great enthusiasm displayed by the remaining members. They are proud of the fact that they are still here. Most of them continue to maintain that fighting spirit which was so characteristic during the years gone by and many of them admit that they would be ready to "answer the call" to take our places, but there would be many of us who wrould be anxious to join them in defending the Stars and Stripes," said one of the veterans, bent with age.

Dunbar Post is one of the oldest in the state, and one of the best known. There are many who have been enrolled as members who have left the city others have died, and some are unable to attend the meetings owing to illness. However, the patriotic spirit does not wane, and will be in evidence until the last of the warriors have answered the final call. According to the statistics recording the demise of old soldiers, they will soon be extinct.
