sued over $1,000, 900 in common stock
and almost 100000 in preferred stock.
AS far as known the sum of 100000
has been realized on it's sale.
BY the Davenport business men in
general the company was never re-
garded more seriously than a mere
promotion bubble. After the last re-
organization Mr.. Haskell of Cedar
Rapids was made president; H. b.
Sudlow of Rock Island vice president;
w. n. Smith, secretary, and e. F. Bard
of Chicago treasurer. Julius Burmeis-

and is now in Kansas City.

Oats-Scarcity OF feed in Canada as
