HUGDAHL Twenty-five hundred dollars in gold has been hung up as one of the prizes at the Auto Race meetings at the Eastern States Exposition and Dairy Show at Springfield, Mass., from October 12 to 20. This contest will be between Sig Hugdahl and Art Klein. Klein was the first racer to make his entry for the races which will be held on Friday and Saturday, October 12 and 13, and on Saturday, October 20.

But the seasoned drivers do it with safe ty. About a dozen racers will be entered for the meeting with the certainty that it will be the greatest series of such contests ever held in the east HORSES IN DEMAND Acute Shortage is Now Feared by Students of the Situation. MAINE'S LEAGUE FIRST. State Organization to Co-operate With Eastern States' Field Department. The world faces an acute shortage In work horses. More than 1,000,000 horses and mules have been bought In thi3 country and shipped over to Europe for use by the Allied armies. The train ing of a great army I by the United States will necessitate the purchase p.nd use of ,- several million more X OLO iUl VU.1 U m u 1 1 . i- -2 "J army, ah ci ;vnicn j is believed by horse experts to indicate a shortage of iorse power in America. No relief from Europe can be looked for. Belgium, home of the Belgian breed of horses, has been devastated, and her horse industry completely de stroyed. The Percheron horse indus try in Prance has been crippled. The jBritish Isles needs all its own horses 'to work its own land. Everywhere jhorses are needed and nowhere can horses in quantities bo bought for love or money. It Is the opinion of horse specialists that America must husband all her resources in horses, and plunge into the breeding of big, strong draft ani mals to a greater extent than ever. Breeders of horses are not only as sured of high prices for many years to come, but are doing their country a great service in assisting it to in crease food production. For these reasons the Eastern States Exposition and Dairy Show at Springfield, Mass. October 12 to 20, is urging breeders to attend in big numbers, so that farmers may become Impressed with the worth of the in dustry, study the most profitable types, and be placed In touch with the men from whom breeding stock can be purchased. Large premiums fare offered for all of the leading breeds. Maine has just organized a state agricultural and industrial league. The plan of organization is somewhat sim ilar to that pf the improvement leagues of which that in Hampden county, Mass., was the first In this section of the country. The purpose of the Maine Agricul tural and Industrial League is to de velop the agricultural and industrial resources of Maine, and to do for the state what the Eastern States' field department is to do for this whole re gion. This field department is a part of the organization of the Eastern States Exposition of Springfield, Mass., which will conduct its first all purpose fall show on its $750,000 plant from October 12 to 20 next un der the name of the Eastern States Exposition and Dairy Show.
