that Cox will have Matel Trask j

along, and that Top Gc-r will enter Sr. Frisco, and that i purse of $ 1 . i: 0 0 will catch them." says Trott. "This is the way the harness horse turf is conducted, and it tells plainer than any other think why this branch nf racing has not been receiving its Ju.t share of public approval." Hewards To) Small. Last scion Mabel Trask and .St. Frisco did more to Increase popular approval and interest in harne? racing than any 10 or 12 trotten combined, and their rewards were ridiculously small. These two wonderful performers must either be raced for purses ranging between $1,000 and $1.200 or remain in their stalls. Trotting managers either fall to recognize their value as gate attractions, or refuse to do so because they believe they can get them anyway. When it is considered that the horses avilable are numerous and that a free-for-all with a reasonable purse, drawing such entries as the two already mention id, together with Peter Mac. Zcmrect, Volga, Mary Putney. Peter Scott, Donna Ijiu and others who have marks tanking from 2:0.1 1-4 to 2:05 1-1. could be depended upon to draw handsomely, it is apparent that the meets arc not conducted with the foresight that should be used. On Wron Track. It is said that such events as the M. Ä: M. and the Charter Oak stake may be moved back to the 2:12 .lasf. and that other promoters of the big purses are likely to follow suit, and it seems a pity that the managers, instead of providing for the l est performers first, have taken the other track. The war in Europe has made it impossible for American horse owners to ship their stars abroad, and there is an abundance of material for some of the greatest racing metis in historv.

Are You Reading The Store News? rPHE American people read newspapers to an extent unapproached by any other people. On the street cars and trains, in the hotel lobbies, in all places of business, and especially in the Homes, under the evening lamp, the newspaper is always in evidence. The news of the world is first in interest, because mankind is born with a craving to know. Then comes National, State and Local matters the Editorials, Markets, Business, Comics, Sports and various other features. But there is still another big department or legitimate news, which concerns all newspaper readers the daily story of the stores! This story holds an interest for everyone -it spreads before us a lot of special and specific information which every adult member of the family should gather in, with regularity, as the weeks go by. It is a matter of record that fully four-fifths of all the money the average man receives jor his labor, or services, must be handed out again immediately for things that are featured and specially priced in this neiüs, with each issue of The South Bend NewsTimes. We may or may not trade in stocks and bonds, but here is a market in which ALL must trade! The market which feeds us, clothes us, and supplies us with homes and every other thing which the material man requires to live and be comfortable while on Earth! Reading the quotations, and daily comment, covering this every man s market, in the advertising columns of The News-Times is a practical application of methods of THRIFT, and the people who follow this plan are the people who get on in the world!
