Horses were placed In the new boxa tails

he invaded Nebraska this summer from

est race of the year en a Nebraska track
Saturday, when he defeated Columbia
Fire and Strlaln In the t:0t pac at
Wahoo. Ha set new track record at Be
atrice, West Point and Wahoo.
Hal 1 a bay stallion aired by Hal- B.
and comes from the famous strain of
Hal pacers which produced many world
champions, including Star Pointer, th
first harness horse to travel a mil In
two minutes. He is In the stable of
Clark and Sebastian.
Although himself a famous race horse,
Hal MoKlnney ha none of the arrogance
which sometime accompanies patrician
ancestry and the applause of multitudes.
In hi stall h resembles the proverbial
pet kitten. In fact his sunny, pleasant
disposition makes him a pet wherever hn
goes.
Ha Weakness for Sagar. ,
Hal like many other successful inAl
vlduals, has a weakness. It is his liking
for sugar, and other articles of diet
which please his palate. He Is especially
fond of women folks because they like
to gratify this little foible of his.
. Upon being Introduced to The Bee's
representative, Hal pointed his ears for
ward and Inquired whether any ' sugar
wa in sight by attempting to put his
inussle Into th reporter's pockets. Upon
learning that this metropolitan news
paper had failed to provide any sweet
meats, he laid back his ears and retired
to th other side of th stall.

If thla horse I defeated In Omaha he
will have a pretty good excuse in that
th track her will be softer than would ,
be most suitable for blm. He I not a big ',
horse and firmer footing la better suited

picked to win, however, by th wis ones.
He earn out of th fast raoe at Wahoo
Saturday la th best of condition and la
fast anough In his present form to cop
successfully with the mil track pacers
of his class. He wears a six -Ounce rim

Tractor Makes a
Most Remarkable
Run of 1,000 Miles
The most effective test of endurance
ever tried by any manufacturer of farm
tractor engines wss recently completed
In Fremont when the Wallls "Cub"
tractor, handled by the J. I. Case Plow
works, finished Its 1,000-mile d'srabtmy
nm, from Cleveland, O., to Fremont
There were no previous records in th
ttsctor business with which to compare
thl work, but the thousand miles wa
made In thirty days actual running time,
with a dally average of thirty-three and
a third miles. This with a machine whose
maximum speed Is stated aa four and a
half miles per hour.
Th run started June XI and finished
July 28. Sundays were rest days, but all
other days were used to the limit and
erlth this rather remarkaVie time was
coupled the fact that the engine under
went no repair from th time of leaving
Cleveland until Fremont wa reached.
Not even a spark plug wa changed, but
the engine la running nearly aa well as
the day it started.
Through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
the trip was uneventful, the smooth
"Pike" roads giving absolutely no trouble,
but with th Mlseteslpi behind, th
wearher man took a "hand In the game.
Rain, clay roads and flooded valleys all
did their best to hinder the "Cub's"
progress. With roads turned Into rivers
and valleys Into lskes, the tractor pa
tiently plodded across Iowa and Omaha
was reached at last
Mora bad weather was encountered be
tween Omaha and Fremont, and when
the "Cub" and It's trailing wagon fin
ally pulled Into their destination, they
were mud from radiator to tall board.
This cross-country run mark a new
era In tractor building. Several features
were brought Into prominence, and lines
for futur Improvement were firmly
established. Spring mounting, . light
weight th thorough protection of parts
and surplus power were demonstrated
to be th foundation of the dependable
tractor.
Th "Cub" will be one of the attrac
tions at th Fremont tractor ahow next
week.

TOO UDGH RAIN IS
INJURING CROPS
Burlington Report Show that Dry
Weather it Needed for Small
Grain and Corn.
CORN PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
The Burllngton'a crop report for
the week ending last Saturday ia far
from being satisfactory, ao far as
Nebraska and Kansas are concerned,
the discouraging feature being too
much rain. For tba week, the pre
cipitation, according to the . reports
from the agents, ranged from one
half to four ond one-half inches, with
almost constant rains since the clos
ing of the report. Several stations in
Nebraska reported from two to four
inches during Saturday and Sunday,
with still more rain falling.
Dealing with the wheat throughout
Nebraska, considerable damage ha been
done by the excessive and continued
rain and In many localities the loss
is thought to be quite extensive. It Is
estimated that in the state, et the close
of lsat week, K per cent of the small
grain remained unharvested. That still
uncut Is deteriorating rapidly, a th
ground Is too wet to get harvesting ma
chinery Into th field.
Cora la Gowel Condition.
Though late and somewhat weedy th
Nebraska corn generally la reported t
h In fairly good condition and with a
late fall rain will make close to a full
crop. By districts, th Burlington officials
