\ recent order for 5000 plows
came to this city from South At
RIGA indicating the beneficial effects
that are beginning to be noted since
the close of the Boer war. This is
not the only instance in which local
factories are the gamers by the sls-
pension of hostilities in that far
away land. The famous Boer ennis
sary, p. Louter Vessels, who rep
resented his people in this country
during the war, was much interested
in the local pillow factories. especially
the plant of the Moline Plow COM
pany. Before he left South Africa
he said that he had sold many a
pillow made by that company. He
probably handled them for the gov
