the quicker road vibrations when the
truck Ia driven at excessive speed. Under
such circumstances, the various parts
Ct the truck particularly the front and
rear axles, receive more severe shocks
and are liable to heat. harden. and crys-

Excessive speed does not necessarily
have reference to speed above that rec

condition Of the streets and roads may
be such that the normal speed Is I'M

holders of the Pioneer Mill Company.
This report or rumor was to the ef-
feet that a stock dividend of $1,000
900 was to be given the stockholders,
thus raising the capitalization of the
company from $4,000, 900 to *, 900 600.
It was stated that the matter was
definitely settled here and had been
submitted to John F. Hackfeld, who
lives in Bremen, and that it now rest
ed with him as to what action should
be taken.
In connection with the report it was
said that the earnings of the Pioneer
Mill company for this year are esti-
mated at $2,000,00o and that at the
stockholders meeting it was an
nounced that "all earnings of the
company this year will be distributed
among the stockholders of the COM
pany."
For the purpose of learning whether
or not the report relative to stock

called at the office of Hackfeld &
Company. He repeated the rumor
as it had been heard, and received the
reply: NO; nothing to it. The mat
