matter at the meeting OF the keokuk

night. Full details will not be given

The tractor to be manufactured
here is not an experiment. num-

inventor and are being used in SIX

owns a thousand acre farm IN the
Dakotas and is more interested IN
cultivating this land than In pushing
the tractor.
other cities have made bids for the
factory which Mr.. Wedler has be-

have the first chance. No bonus OF
any kind is asked. A stock company
would be formed, building leased
