hcer Kinney returned the fire at almost

state has issued q license to incorpor-

The incorporators are George G. Kuhn,
Q. NJ. Larson, Edward Reavy and Cecil

Take Over New Line.-A permanent
selling agreement has been erected be-
tween the Deere selling organization
and the Davenport Roller Bearing
Wagon company, according to an an
nouncement Just made. From this time
ON the entire output Of the big Daven-
port plant will be placed on the market
through the Deere houses The new
agreement is an advantageous one for
the Deere people in that It gives them
complete wagon line. It is mutually
advantageous to the Davenport con-
Germ in that sale of the product Of the
Davenport manufacturers will be push
ed through one of the best trade organ
izations in the country. Adding OF the
Davenport wagon to the Deere line
does not mean that the Moline and
Fort Smith wagons will share in popu-
larity with the Davenport wagon, be-
cause the Iowa product is Of absolute
ly different type. 1t is designed to
meet special needs of the trade in GER
tain territories and is Of steel construc-
ton, growing daily in popularity. The
dnaS NOT moan
however, that the Deere selling organ
ization now has a complete wagon line

Appeal to Supreme Court. Appeal
of the Fifth avenue widening case to
the supreme court of Illinois will prob
ably be taken in the near future. More
than one-half dozen of the property
owners favorable to the proposed i'm
provement met in the Office of their
counsel, w. R. Moore, and discussed
the situation. While they sincerely re-
greet the county courts action in hand
ing down a decision adverse to the
wishes of the city, they have not lost
hope. In fact, Attorneys Moore and
G. A. Shallberg think the chances are
good for victory in the supreme
tribunal. At the close of the session
the property owners expressed them
selves as a unit in favor of an appeal
from Judge Olmsted's decision. IT'S
the kind of case that ought TO be set
tied. The present situation is not the
same as if there were a technicality
about ordinance or assessment roll that
ent case is one that can't be settled by
commencing over again. 1t ought to
be settled, and the only way to do it is
to carry the matter to the supreme
court of the state,' said Mr.. Moore.
